Who is Corinne Kaplan?

From her official CBS Caramoan - Fans vs. Favorites bio page:

"Previous Season: Survivor: Gabon – 12th castaway voted out/4th Jury Member
Current Residence: Los Angeles
Occupation: Clinical Consultant
Personal Claim to Fame: Being me and never holding anything back.
Inspiration in Life:  This implies I want to 'be like' someone else - I don’t. Though I do have role models, like my parents. My father taught me that life isn’t fair, and you have to work hard for what you want. My mother taught me the alternative is you can marry the guy who does all that. Both lessons are equally important to me.   
Hobbies: Shutting down small talk.
Pet Peeves: So called 'actors' living in Hollywood, reality show losers and anyone who uses the 'door open' button in an elevator.
3 Words to Describe You: Snarky, irreverent and opinionated.
If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? 1)    Music – It is outrageous how slow time passes out there. 2)    Hat – I aged an extra five years from squinting at the sun last time. 3)    Journal – I want to remember every moment out there this time around.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Randy Bailey from Survivor: Gabon. Hands down, no one else even comes close.
Reason for Being on Survivor:  I ran out of bar stories to tell from the first go-round.  
Why You Think You’ll 'Survive' Survivor: I can handle both the physical and the mental aspects of the game like a champ, and I thoroughly enjoy watching everyone else who can’t.  
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I don’t have any insecurities. It is my experience that everyone else who plays this game is riddled with them. I plan to break them down and eat them alive."

Summary of evidence for Corinne Kaplan being on Survivor 26.

- (5/13/12) Corinne herself makes this extremely cryptic (inscrutable, even) public post on her facebook wall: "I'm going to travel internationally and won't have access to my internet or cell for a while- so if I don't hit you back, that's why. Or I just don't like you. I guess that'll be a conversation you'll keep having with yourself til I get back...."

- In the era of facebook and twitter, returning contestants are reasonably difficult to conceal, as is evident from this Sucks thread. Most were fairly easy to pick out within a week or so of departure. birdseyetoo at Sucks (5/22/12), for example, had a near-complete list, as did matty p (5/23/12), including evidence of absence.

Redmond (5/26/12) confirmed Francesca was indeed an S26 contestant. (And later, Brenda, Dawn, Cochran, and Andrea).

- beatlebum79 (6/9/12) confirmed the above list (still not sure on Erik R) but added that "Malcolm," a returnee from S25, was also on.

- Redmond (6/18/12) remained adamant that Brandon was indeed a contestant, despite his return to online activity.

Who is Corinne Kaplan?

From her CBS bio for Survivor: Gabon:

   "Corinne Kaplan takes great pride in being able to manipulate the people around her. As a pharmaceutical sales rep, this smart and sexy, self-described bitch, is in it purely for the money. At work, Corinne must convince physicians to prescribe her products. Now, Corinne is looking to convince her fellow tribe mates that she's trustworthy, while ready to sell them out behind their backs.
   This catty former sorority girl uses her wit and sex appeal to further her goals. Aside from working out in the gym almost every day, Corinne keeps fit by hiking and running. Corinne will tell it like it is and couldn't care less what people think of her for it. Her outgoing personality is a trait that seems to work well on the men in her life. Corinne basically has no filter and is often hilarious in her directness, saying what everyone else only thinks.
   Corinne is single and currently resides in Los Angeles. Her birth date is January 17, 1979."
