Survivor's Latest Skeletons

Christa Hastie was born and raised in Ojai, California. She currently lives in Los Angeles where she lives the life of a quiet computer programmer, engaged to be married. But is there more to this young blonde woman's story? SurvivorWeb investigative reporters seem to think so.

In Christa's CBS bio she claims she "is most proud of earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Irvine, although she believes her real education comes from living life and diving into any and all opportunities." Her bio also makes mention of a "minor incident where she was once arrested for a misdemeanor and charged with "disrupting an officer's ability to perform his duties." While in college, she hopped on her car and refused to get off the hood when she discovered it was in the process of being towed.

Is that all there is to the story?

Not even close. SurvivorWeb discovered that she was not only hopped up on the hood of her car, she was probably hopped up on a variety of chemicals at the time. A quick search of Google's newsgroups turned up a rather interesting side of Christa Hilda Hastie, student at the University of California, Irvine. This was the same time Survivor's Christa Hastie was attending UCI.

This is what she had to say in the newsgroup, "alt.drugs:"

"Does anybody have any good recommendations for getting the most out of
your cocaine? I mean, can you take any pills, i.e. Vivarin, to keep your
high for longer periods of time? Or, can you actually smoke cocaine - is
this crack? Oh, and last but not least, does anybody know where to find a
'coke bong' near los angeles? Perhaps Melrose? Thanks for any
suggestions!

It also appears as if Christa might have been suffering some financial woes :

"Well send those rocks on over my way and I'll send you a thousand pics!
That would be enough to make anybody orgasm....god, now you got me
thinking...thanks Phreex...(*shiver*)..way to get me all horny now!

Your admirer,

Christa :-)

She also seems to have been on the cutting edge of eCommerce:

"Where and how do you order this stuff....anybody have a phone # or url?
Thanks!

Christa :-)"

But casual drug use aside, we started to question why the producers of Survivor would cast such a woman. We found an easy answer with her ability to adapt to difficult situations. Say, for instance, you don't have grade-A speed around, what would you do?

"Say try this: 1 Aspirin, 1 25mg ephedrine(if u can find that), and 1
200mg Vivarin.....that should work ok....hang in there, I understand :-)!

Christa :-)"

In the end, however, we realize Christa did grow up in a somewhat, ok heavy, liberal community of former hippies. We assume she has turned her life around and no longer lays down on the hood of her car. Follow-up newsgroup posts have her asking questions about relational databases.

Maybe she was better off with the Coke and Speed?
