Consider this... She's well known, and fairly attractive, so what happens when she's out in public? She gets mobbed, and treated like a celebrity. It gets old, I'm sure.
Last year, while waiting for the opportunity to fly Smemo's Folly for Discovery, Kari and I were halfway through my "bit". That meant the 30 - 45 minutes we waited, we had nothing to do, so the two of us just stood away from everyone and chatted. All sorts of topics, but believe it or not, mostly about our respective kids.
The cameras were nowhere nearby, and we were in a holding pattern.
Never once did I ask about MythBusters, ask to have my picture taken with her, or any other stereotypical things. I suspect that had a lot to do with her willingness to chat. My dad, a couple years back, had a long conversation with Stephen King, for much the same reason -- he treated him like a human being, not like a celebrity.
