Everyone makes choices, Denise made a bad one and not only has turned her life upside down, but taken her family, community, the school system for which she is employed and the general public who felt sorry for her. I am sure the other people that got voted off before her needed the money too, they just did not makes fools out of themselves by airing their personal information around. She should donate the money to an orphanage with children that have no one and that may not get a Christmas present, afterall, every child should have that.

If it was found out Martin lied about being left go...why reward her for it?

It sounds like Burnett was giving the money to her "because of her story" and felt sorry for her.
Did she have a written guarantee from the school she''d have her job after the show was over?
If not she should have known she''d be replaced and needs to not take the money. Anyone with a brain knows there are consequences to going on a reality show for a long period of time and loosing ones job is one of them.

Denise is a poor working class woman, Poor people have poor ways.



You people who say, " O my kids should not see or hear this," you live in a bubble and it very sad, It is what it is, LIFE, the REAL WORLD, and the sad thing is your setting your children up to be unhappy with what is in actual fact, actually, in reality, in point of fact, as a matter of fact, in truth that is what is going on in the real world..you make them ignorant, much worse than what Denise did in a MILd SHOCK.


Lets keep this real,, most every RICH PERSON on this planet, I said MOST, not ALL.. lied, cheated, to get their wealth and to hold on to it..most companies have two sets of books, If you want to play by the rules and be all high and mighty, I have some toilets for YOU to CLEAN !!!

It may be acceptable to lie DURING the game but it isn''t acceptable to lie AFTER.

Go Denise! If the Burnett was dumb enough to offer the money without verifying the story, then that''s his problem. In "Survivor," the best liar is rewarded with one million dollars. Denise took the game one step further to get $50K for being the 4th best liar. Big deal. I say GOOD FOR HER! And it''s not like the creator can''t afford it. That''s pocket change for him. He makes more than that off of one episode. Denise played America and they bought it hook, line, and sinker! Maybe she has an acting career in her future. She deserves the $50K for that great performance.

You''re welcome erasmus6 :)

And for those of you who are telling us to turn our TV off, I think you are just as fascinated by this show as we are, otherwise you wouldn''t be on this website reading all these. So quit being a hypocrite, hmmmk?

Kitty_Kath- Thanks for that post!!! That''s exactly what she said. And as she uttered those words during the show, I think I honestly can say I''m not alone in feeling a little sorry she didn''t make it to the final three. Since, she ''dedicate life to being honest, being fair''. But, as it turns out, that was a lie too!!!!

I hate to rub it in but this is her jury rant directed at Todd & Amanda:

"I''m glad you all can look me in the eye, that''s nice. Um, I''m a lunchlady. I dedicate my whole life to being honest, being fair. You guys all came up to me, shook me in the hand, looked me in the face and said, "You''re with us." None of you wanted to be standing there next to me. You all thought I''d play the kid game. I believe the jury would have voted for me, but because I''m not there one of you has to get it. Amanda has lied. She said, "I don''t lie, I''m not gonna lie, I''m an honorable person. You HAVE lied. You''ve not only lied to me, you''ve lied to Jean-Robert, you''ve lied to Frosti, you''ve lied to James. Todd, he has such a deceptive side to him, you never know when he''s telling the truth. If you have these things in you, that you can do that to people without even thinking about it or batting an eye, your conscience needs to be cleaned. You need to turn over a new leaf. Look inside yourself as well and realize what you do affects a lot of honest people." - transcribed by a poster on a reality tv website.

Dayum! I honestly think she believes her own lies.

Denise didn%u2019t know that she was going to be rewarded with $50k. I don%u2019t think that she lied. Posted by MelRus

Don''t be so gullible. If you watch the reunion show, its easy to see she was using her sob story to fish for a break. If not a helping hand from the network, then from some well meaning fans of the show. She even went as far as to appeal to anyone watching the show that might need a ''Lunch Lady'' to contact her. As she told her sob story, which later turn out to be lies, it was obvious she was attempting to convey an image of how particpating in Suvivor ruined her career as a Lunch Lady. Dont allow yourself to be conned!!!

"In Survivor, lying in the context of the game and owning up to it when it''''s all over is ok. What Denise Martin did is lie in the game and not own up to it. She claimed she still is a lunch lady making $7/hour when in fact she was already making $17/hour as a Custodian." posted by Kitty_Kath


I hate to say this, but she must be pretty stupid if she thought that she could lie and get away with it, that it wouldn''t come back to haunt her. I mean millions of people were watching, did she not think that the people she worked for wouldn''t hear it or would let her get away with making them look EXTREMELY BAD?

The most pathetic part is when at the end, she accuses the others of lying. Geez.

Did you watch the show? If you did then you would know that there was NO misinterpretation by the show or the millions of people that watched it. SHE LIED.
