Kathy on the Fans team (current S16) lives directly across the street from me. Haven't seen her for a few months. Mrs. Bikeman tuned into Survivor first show of the season a couple weeks ago, and there she was, which explained her recent neighborly absence. They sign an NDA to not divulge they were on/in it until a couple days before it first airs. I hear this Thursday something happens with her. Might get weird.

Other brushes with the famous.... The commercial building I owned until 2001 had apartments upstairs right up until I bought it in '82. One of the residents was Jim Belushi. He came by to see what happened with his old apartment one evening in '99, said one of my employees. I had left an hour earlier. Oops.

His wife is giving him hell right now.
They are getting divorced and she has a few problems to say the least.
