Denise MartinContestants on the hit reality show "Survivor" run scams on each other all the time. But now, it appears one of them ran a con on the show itself.
During the reunion show Sunday night, Denise Martin, the lunch lady, told the crowd, she wasn't able to return to her old job when she returned from China and had to make money working odd hours as a janitor. The show's producer then offered her $50,000 for her troubles.
Now, it turns out, Denise had actually accepted the janitors position months before shooting "Survivor" because it offered better pay and benefits.
Denise tried to explain herself during an appearance on CBS's "The Early Show." I "tried to go back to my original job and I truly believe that, I loved that job that was one of the most favorite parts of my life and when I was away from my family for so long I just wanted things to go back to the way they were before I was on the nightshift."
Denise couldn't go back to her lunch lady position, because it was already filled.
As for the money given to her by the show's producer -- she wouldn't say if she planned to keep it.![]()

I can't believe Denise has not announced that she will not accept the 50K. The school should fire her and the survivor program should go after her so that the program can keep its intagrity. The lying is expected as part of the game but Denise took the lying to a new all time low. The survivor game had ended but Denise just keeps on lying. What kind of school wants a liar and con around thier students? Maybe she could work cleaning toilets in a prison where her conning ways fits right in. ...or at least she could have a Nervious Brake Down; this would indicate that she has some morals. Do the right thing Denise; give the money back.

Now, who's worse? Fairplay

Now, who's worse? Fairplay lying about his grandmother dying, or Denise lying about her job? Or even post-survivor scandals like Hatch going to jail for tax evasion and Brian of Thailand shooting a puppy with an arrow?
Personally, the last one gets me the most, but I still hate Fairplay just because he's a creep.

I think this is a case of someone wanting to get sympathy not only from her survivor buddies but the american public as well. This was a stupid move because she did it on national tv and made the school look REALLY bad- the superintendant was getting personal attacks through e-mail. I think Lane had every right to go public and call Martin out- after all Martin cast the first stone by saying what she said on national tv. Also- because the network felt sorry for her they offered her money- a good bit of money at that, now there is something tangible involved and I feel that if she accepts the money, if it indeed is still offered to her then she obviously has no morals and no pride. She must think that $50,000 is going to make her rich or popular or both. In reality because she told such a stupid lie she made herself look like an idiot that no one will take seriously ever again. How dumb.
