If you think Candice had no business being cast for HvV then maybe you agree with me that she was asked as compensation for interfering with the game during CI?

Actually, the edited version of Candice didn't deserve to return but, out there, they saw she had game, was ready to get involved in a little showmance, was strong in challenges and was willing to make moves. Not bad at all. So much so that they asked her for Fan vs Favorite before asking Parvati as replacement.

The settlement itself prevents Stacy from going public and not many people can win a case when they signed a contract that actually sold their life on the island away. It may also help that they cast so many wannabee actors. CBS is a pretty big player in that industry so you could be sacrificng not only a chance to return to Survivor but of getting any work at all.

ETA: And isn't it interesting that, after Hatch threatened to drag SEG through the mud on his tax evasion case they tried to get him on HvV and, when that didn't work because of a tiny inconvenience called federal laws, Burnett cast him for the Apprentice? You don't see a secret agreement reached between those 2?
