I was wondering if the finale made anything better for Denise. Anyone know if she is still working as a janitor or did she fine something else

AP) Denise Martin, who gained fame as the lunch lady on CBS' reality show "Survivor: China," is donating the $50,000 she received from producer Mark Burnett to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDs Foundation.

Martin told viewers on Sunday night's live finale that she'd been demoted to janitor at a school in Douglas, Mass., after finishing fourth on the show. After hearing her story, Burnett surprised Martin with the money to help get her life back.

On Tuesday, Martin acknowledged on CBS' "The Early Show" that she'd been promoted to custodian, at her own request, before the competition began.

"It was not my intention to be misleading," Martin, 40, said on the broadcast. "I'm sorry, and I apologize to everybody."

In a statement issued Tuesday by the network, Martin said she took "full responsibility" for her actions.

"I do not feel comfortable about accepting the $50,000. I would instead ask that it be donated to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation," the statement said. "Please accept my apology. I would also like to thank all the people who have supported me through this experience."

I am a big fan of Survivor and as many viewers. I am very disappointed as a producer to award Denise with $$$ because of her so called sad story. I agreed with Courtney this is a SURVIVOR GAME and you are here to win and it is not a charity. We all have to work hard to get what we want and need, so if you are not happy or can not feed your family on a $7.00/hr salary...how about try to apply yourself and go back to school and get a better paying job. I am a professional working woman who came to this country without knowing how to speak a single word of English, but I knew what is important to me and my family, so I work hard and overcome many obstacles in life. I would never want anyone to treat me as a charity case. So Denise if, cleaning toilet is beneath U, then find a different job. I don't understand... You surely can expect to make $100,000/ annually without a college degree. Anyway, I think most of us would love the opportunity to work at job where you can take off more than 6 weeks to be on Survivor Show. Real Life (Employers would not be so understanding)It is sad to know that the producer of the show would fall for her story.........Give me a break!!!
