Sammi's plans and KStew debate

The first question is for Sammi: Now that you're done with school what are your plans? And of course, are you staying with the podcast? (Ok, two questions)
And the second question is for all of you: after reading all the posts on the subject of the Team K-Stew episode I don't want to speculate and just have to ask - what caused the 180 turn-around regarding Kristen? There's such a contrast between Twilight Strikes Back and this episode that I can't help but wonder. (Which seems to be what plenty of other listeners are doing as well.)
Thanks!
