Circle Nov. 13 for the wedding of Philadelphia's Survivor sweetheart Stephenie LaGrossa, 30, and Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick, 25. "I wanted someplace warm, but not an island," said Stephenie at the show's big 10th anniversary wing-ding last night at CBS's Television City in Los Angeles.
As one of only nine Survivors who have been on the show three times, LaGrossa has had it up to here with islands. So the nuptials are set for the super suave Silverado Resort -- $350 a night for a fireplace suite -- in California's Napa Valley.
Stephenie's latest starving sand-and-bugs adventure, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, kicks off on CBS Feb. 11. The show broke camp in Samoa in mid-September about two weeks before a major earthquake really broke both tribes' camps and the show's production camp, too. "Everything was decimated," Stephenie said.
Stephenie was teamed with the heroes, but show host and executive producer Jeff Probst said her biggest challenge was whether to act like a hero, as she did in Pulau (was the 10th person voted out) or a villain, as she did in Guatemala (and finished runner-up to sweet Danni Boatwright.
Kendrick, who met Stephenie about a year and half ago at Gigi, the Old City bar she owns, has been a hero to Phillies fans since he showed up two years ago and helped get the team to the World Series, despite his struggles last season.
"He only had two pitches," Stephenie said, "and the batters caught up to him. Now he has five, and his change-up is sick."
Just like that other Phillies lefty hubby Cole Hamels, coincidentally married to another Survivor sweetie five years his senior, Heidi Strobel.
- when did Kendrick become a lefty? potus
"Just like that other Phillies lefty hubby Cole Hamels, coincidentally married to another Survivor sweetie five years his senior, Heidi Strobel". ...And that's where the comparisons end. deanwermer
