She is a pin-up model.

I think she really likes both of them and would have been happy for Matty if he'd won.

Right. In her Reality News Online interview, she said that she knew she had no chance at winning the million dollars, and she wanted one of the "good guys" (i.e., Bob or Matty) to win. She says pretty forthrightly that she was never trying to win the million dollars or the jury's votes; she was trying "to win America over" in the hopes it would parlay into acting.

"Matty Whitmore knows first-hand what it's like to have a lot and what's it's like to lose it all. At the age of 18, Whitmore inherited a trust fund from his grandparents, allowing him to live a comfortable life in paradise until partying it all away. Now at the age of 29, Whitmore wants the opportunity to find out what he's capable of doing on his own and believes SURVIVOR holds the answer."

A little "editing" from CBS, maybe? Per an earlier interview with him, "I was given an education trust from my grandfather; I went through that by the time I was 23. I’m about 30 now, so that’s been 7 years of being destitute, on my own. All me." (He did play baseball at Saddleback College, which as I understand it is a community college.)

James Whitmore is his grandfather, but Audra Lindley (Mrs. Roper) is not his grandmother. She was his father's step-mother for a while, but she and Whitmore divorced before Matty was born.
