 January
12, 2007: Sylvia's official bio, from the CBS
S14 site...
" Sylvia Kwan was born in Hong Kong, where she lived for eight
and a half years before moving with her parents and five
siblings to Los Angeles. After graduation from high school,
she relocated to the Bay Area where she received her Bachelor
of Arts degree and Master of Architecture degree from the
University of California at Berkeley.
Kwan is the founder
and Chairman of a renowned architectural firm located in
San Francisco. As Chairman, she is responsible for strategic
planning and development for her award-winning firm. She
has resided as the Board Chair of the San Francisco Chamber
of Commerce and currently serves on the board of a number
of Bay Area non-profit and for-profit boards. She is also
a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. Kwan is
especially proud of designing the interiors of Pacific Bell
Park (now AT&T Park), home of the San Francisco
Giants.
Kwan describes herself as creative, energetic and
determined, and according to her husband, holds the unofficial
title of “Ultimate Consumer.” In her spare time,
Kwan plays tennis, skis, hikes and plays golf. She’s
also happy that she finally learned how to swim, because
it was sink or swim as a Survivor contestant. Kwan's never
met an exercise routine she didn’t like, keeping in
shape with Pilates, yoga, Tai Chi, and any new type of gym
equipment introduced.
Kwan resides in Marin County with her
husband of 26 years, Denis Henmi. They are currently building
their dream house, a mid-century modern creation that was
inspired by years of designing homes for their clients. Kwan
and Henmi have two children, Drew, 18 and Derek, 15. Kwan
was born on August 18, 1954."

December
17, 2006: Jeff Probst's voiceover from the Survivor:
Fiji preview (replete with actual contestant photos,
as far as we know) that aired during the Survivor:
Cook Islands reunion show:
"Coming in the new year... Survivor turns
the tables on two tribes, as one lives the life of luxury,
while the other is left with virtually nothing. For the first
time, there will be 19 new Survivors. This
diverse cast, with lifestyles ranging from a Harvard-educated
lawyer to a once-homeless street performer, will be
forced to battle each other more fiercely than ever before.
Crawling with thousands of deadly sea snakes, Exile Island
will be more treacherous than ever. This time, two
immunity idols and a twist will drastically complicate the
game. And one of the most controversial decisions ever
made by a Survivor will have America talking. Who will outwit,
outplay and outlast all the others? Join us next time, for
the premiere of Survivor: Fiji."
