Past Imperfect
 
How a scandal-sniffing site keeps reality TV smokin' -- Networks now see The Smoking Gun, which has unearthed the unsavory pasts of several contestants, as additional publicity by Lynette Rice  
 
   
RED HOT For some reality shows, there's no place like Smoking's homepage for publicity
 
Fox reality guru Mike Darnell feared his genre was dead after the scandal diggers at The Smoking Gun posted a report in 2000 exposing the unsavory past of ''Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?'''s Rick Rockwell. But the website that should have extinguished the genre only fanned its fires. A record 1.5 million people visited thesmokinggun.com recently to read how ''Joe Millionaire's'' Sarah Kozer had appeared in fetish films; meanwhile, Fox enjoyed its best-ever ratings on the show.
 
''You cringe whenever the site calls,'' says CBS rep Chris Ender -- who had a lot of 'splaining to do last year when The Smoking Gun revealed ''Survivor: Thailand'''s Brian Heidik was a porn star. However, ''they really serve as another PR vehicle.... It's not always publicity you want, but you get attention.'' As does the site, says editor William Bastone -- so it's only a matter of time before his staff takes on the ''Survivor: The Amazon'' crew. ''It's almost like we have to now,'' says a resigned Bastone. ''Everybody has something dirty in their background.'' (Additional reporting by Dan Snierson)

Interesting article.  I have added a poll to this thread and it's open to guests and members alike.  You can pick more than one person.  
 
Vote for which participants on Survivor Amazon will have something from their past revealed by The Smoking Gun.  Tell us why - if you have some reasons or just tell us who you chose if you would like to!
 
Happy Voting.

I picked Jenna as well, because of all her modeling and beauty pageant stuff, I figure there's gonna be more to dig up on her than anyone else.
 
I also picked Alex, specifically because they have already stated he's a recovered alcoholic and I suspect he may be the one with driving records and whatnot that they will dig stuff up on (although it won't be very shocking or scandelous to anyone - the guy is reformed and good for him!).
