Jane dislikes the four young Samburus. Linda said she knew she would be going next as soon as Carl departed. They just couldn't get along. Although Carl called them lazy, she thinks some of the young ones are lazy, some are not. They were also not lazy all the time. They are actually all terrific human beings. [note she did seem really sincere, she was not being sarcastic]

If the roles were reversed, they (the old ones) would also have picked off the young ones, but they would have gone about it differently. They wouldn't have been so arrogant, saying things like come here team meaning only those 4.

She did ask for her necklace, she didn't get one. She is still waiting for one (laughs with Jane). She liked Silas, but she did not trust him. She never believed he was on their side.

The three old ones were going to vote for Lindsey, as the young ones wanted. But after the continual comments, it was pretty unanimous that they were going to vote for Silas. They just couldn't do the immunity challenge, Boran was stronger.

She is the Assistant Director of Career Services at Harvard. She is back at work and has very supportive colleagues. Jane asked her comments on the young ones career choices. Advertising is fine for Lindsey, but she thinks Lindsey would ideally be a professional athlete. She is very strong and an amazing athlete (despite getting sick). Silas would be good as a lawyer since he is very conniving. Kim has a heart of gold and can do whatever she wants to. Brandon should be kept at the bar, she was very surprised at his "crazywoman" comment.

She was a big fan of the first two Survivors, and noticed when Silas said his "write me the check" comment that it was exactly what Rich said.

Why vote for Silas? To make a symbolic statement. He had talked about strength and honor constantly, and then double crossed them. They wanted him to know they didn't think he was so honorable. They knew that it could cost him the future if there were ties. They felt like two tribes in one.

This was her 6th trip to Africa. Being there before helped her deal with the lack of running water and electricity. After being booted, she did not go on safari. She travelled with a mobile health care clinic focusing on AIDS awareness. She lived in the villages and wanted to give back to Africa.

Personally, I was surprised at how nice she came across. I was expecting a bitter crazy woman and she came across as peaceful and complimentary.

Yes, she cane across well. But I was irritated that Gumble asked her the same questions that Jane asked earlier.

The video of the interview is up on Early Show Site
I find it amusing that they threw up the Mamkim graphic when they were talking about younger Kim LOL
