'Survivor' Contestant: American Way Helped Me Prepare
by Chris WesslingYou know what we love? Getting a shout-out (sort of) during a nationally televised show.
On last night's finale of "
Survivor: Nicaragua," contestant
Jane Bright talked about all the hard work and preparation she did before filming actually began. Host Jeff Probst praised her for being able to start a fire "without the help of anything."
As Bright explained, it was all because of
American Way: "I read an
article on the airplane you wrote, and it said why would anybody do 'Survivor' without knowing how to build a fire?" That story prompted her to do a little research and learn to become a master firestarter.
While Bright didn't get specific, she was referring to a story that appeared in the March 15, 2010, issue of
American Way, and was actually written by Associate Editor Travis Kinsey (not Probst).
