I am not trying to make excuses for her but she just doesn't look right to me. In fact, remember when she was not chosen by her own team and she had that defeated look? Then when she tried to talk Amanda into not voting for her. It was sort of like grasping at straws or something like that. She just felt that she would win if she got into the final 3. No idea what I am trying to describe here but maybe it would be close to PTSD? I certainly hope she wasn't out and out lying and I certainly do not wish ill on her or her children. A friend of mine mentioned that if Rosie was still on The View, that Rosie would have given gifts to Denise. That would have been nice to see. Oh, and I have to smile every time I remember her asking her hubby if she could have his socks.

If Rosie had given gifts to Denise and then found out she was lying she would've probably been pretty ticked off. As it stands, Denise got a decent amount of money for forty days' work and I don't see why there should be any more need to give her extra gifts or money. I'm sure there have been other players in the past who weren't rolling in dough, but didn't get such treatment. What I don't get is that if Denise was this capable of deception, why didn't she play a better game? I don't feel too sorry for Burnett, since it would've been classier to give Denise the money off camera instead of making a big announcement on the air. Plus, that would've saved him the embarrassment of looking like a sucker. I was surprised there were no cars awarded this time around.

I liked Denise through out the entire season and I'm not about to change my mind. Maybe she twisted her story, maybe she didn't, maybe somebody else twisted her story and she went along with it because "they" said it was good tv. Who knows? not me I can say that I thought she was milking a cow there at the end but I've seen worse on this show. I'm happy with the Todd win since he did most of all the scheming.

I hope her kids are getting hassled at school (or when they go back, if they are not back already). OMG! I was wondering who wished that on the kids...and it was me! I meant to say, I hope her kids DON'T get hassled.... Wow, my apologies. Can someone fix that up-thread?

Jimmer, thanks. I was reading all of those comments and I was thinking who the monster could possibly be. It just goes to show that one should proofread before they post.

Allietex JP mentioned something "surprising" about Denise early on in the show--or maybe in the promo. I know because I got impatient waiting to hear what it was.

Exact words before the break were "Up next, two of this season's most popular players, James the grave digger, and Denise the lunch lady, they were welcomed home in very different ways. We'll get that story. Plus, one survivor is going home with an extra 100K in their pocket." There was nothing said about a prize for Denise until after the next break, after the 100k was awarded, when Jeff said MB had heard her story she told before the break.

Naja is correct. We never had any inkling MB was going to give Denise money. But at least once I heard JP said we will hear a very surprising story from Denise...

Puzzled, I don't know when I heard it, but I definitely heard someone say there would be a "surprize for Denise." Those exact words. I remember thinking when I heard it that maybe she won the 100K. I would not have wondered that if they had already awarded the 100K. This was way before the announcement where they said one of them would go home with the 100K. I am sure I heard those exact words, "surprise for Denise." It might even have been before the show even started during the wrap up of the regular show. Gee, I hope Puzzled and I are not going crazy and hearing things. LOL

Allie, like I said above, I think I heard something like, "Next, we eill hear a surprising story from Denise...." It didn't sound like it will have anything to do w/ the 100K. But I thought maybe someone well-off, living in her town, decided to do something like scholarships for her kids or land given to build new house.... I really didn't get "They are going to give Denise extra money" from that.

No luck on either computer or either browser but I found this which shows a key part of the interview and Denise apologizing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIBqI3Ubat4

LOL, Allietex, I hope we're not both bonkers, too. I was hoping the news about Denise would be that she got an endorsement or a fabulous job or something.

Dumb question but do the contestants get paid to be on the show and if so how much per week?

If they were announcing that she was going to tell a surprising story, before she told it, then they were aware of what she was going to say, so the Burnett was behind the scenes and was just so struck by the story, sounds a little fishy, don't you think?

Burnett may have been planning to do it but it doesn't mean that he told Jeff in advance. Then again, it was nice but also about making "good" TV.
