I'm pleased to say I do not watch "Survivor" and do not recognise the person in question, but "a recent winner" of the show "lied to get time off from his job as a state highway worker to join a promotional tour for the reality TV show in Europe last year, an investigation found."
"Recent winner" -- I love how unspecific that sounds, as if the writer couldn't care less about exactly which "season" this fellow "won." It's lower down in the story, but still -- who really fucking cares.
Anyway, piecing together the timeline, it seems one Chris Daugherty won a million dollar prize in 2004, returned to his job "working on roads" (another vague phrase) at the Ohio DOT, then was asked by Survivor's producers to go on a promotional tour of Germany and Italy. So he took the time off and then filed for various forms of time-off-with-pay, including sick pay for "depression" and -- this really takes the cake -- military leave, not because he was in the military but because the Survivor promotional tour visited a US military base along the way.
So just to review: the guy won a million dollars, then was so cheap he wouldn't even take time off without pay. And claimed he was "in" the military, while there are probably guys working for the Ohio DOT who are in Iraq right now getting their legs blown off.
Chris Daugherty, today's worst person in the world.
