January 22, 2009: Andy Dehnart of Reality
Blurred blogging fame posts a
late pre-game interview with Sandy.
Among the highlights:
"Sandy was impossibly excited, her language is colorful
('you shitheads,' she called the casting producers),
and besides referring to me often as 'little mister' and 'buddy'
and 'sweetheart,' she’d
frequently pepper her non-stop sentences with 'and everything,'
or 'shit' and 'fuck,' delivered
in her deep Kentucky accent. There’s no denying that
a 53-year-old mother who wears a dehydrated raccoon penis around
her neck and won the state bus driving rodeo is fascinating."
January, 2009: CBS gets around to putting
up S18 content:
"A country girl through and through, Sandy Burgin
grew up and still lives in Kentucky, where she takes
pride in being the state champion of the School Bus Rodeo.
A night owl by occupation, Sandy works the graveyard
shift transporting construction workers to their work
sites. As a professional driver for 30 years, she isn't
a stranger to cat calls, especially since she is the
one doing it. On one occasion she called out to a tall
thin man, commenting on his physique when, to her surprise,
he turned around and was clearly a priest!
She likes
to unwind by crocheting or listening to country, oldies
or some good old fashioned rock and roll. Her penchant
for reading 'do it yourself' magazines
in addition to her fishing skills just might make her
a valuable member of her tribe.
Sandy describes herself
as funny and fearless and can’t stand mean or
greedy people. She is looking forward to interacting
with new and interesting people and is thrilled at
the opportunity to win a million dollars. With an outdoorsy
nature (as reflected by her mouse tattoo) and a kooky
personality, in combination with her determination
to win, Sandy feels that she has what it takes to be
the next Survivor.
Sandy currently
resides in Louisville, Ky. Her birthday is July 1."
