Kimmi Watch Ends

The girl had to go, and she's gone! Soon after we published our last Kimmi Watch, our Burdett native/Long Island bartender -- Kimberly "Kimmi" Kappenberg -- got the boot from the tv show "Survivor". It wasn't enough that she wouldn't eat the meat; talked excessively about "taking matters into her own hands;" and got into a pissy match/finger-wagging, verbal sparring with personal trainer "still on the island" Alicia. (The men, by the way, were too scared to intervene.) No, Kimmi refused to wash up in water with floating pig innards.

Tribemate Michael, who slaughtered the pig, dumped the body parts and then was airlifted to an Australian burn unit for passing out in the campfire and obtaining very serious second-degree burns on his hands, accused our Kimmi of not taking a bath and nicknamed her "Dirty Girl." Kimmi said the dirt line was actually a tan line. Good-bye.

Kimmi came home, cleaned up very nicely (did you catch her photo in the New York Sunday Times "Style" section?), and appeared on Regis and on Letterman. Dave was quite nasty to Kimmi, especially when she asked him for a job.

So, no million for Kimmi, but lots of publicity. Maybe Kimmi will do the ribbon cutting when Wal-Mart invades Watkins Glen.
