Estuarian Float 97 Posted November 12, 2013 LET US HAVE THIS ONE THING! They are pulling in the obits and cancer updates after all. Though I do agree with Rotten that it is a stretch to put the young and healthy ones on a watch list. (If you do want to see what the show is all about, watch one of the early seasons because seasons 19 and on suck. Can't go wrong with Borneo, Australia or Africa. Pearl Islands is probably the most humorous season. Palau and China are also some of my very favorites.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,985 Posted December 4, 2013 http://www.knoxville...r-collins-dies/ Taylor Lee Collins the son of season 2 Winner/ 27th season Blood vs Water contestant Tina Wesson and brother of contestant Katie Collins died earlier today at age 25 in a car accident. There does seem to be a bit of a jinx with the early season winners as 5 of the first 6 winners of the show now have either lost a family member at a young age,are fighting cancer or have had a lot of legal troubles.

CaptainChorizo 1,985 Posted September 29, 2015 Maralyn Hershey A contestant from season 2 the most watched season in the Us had an interview from a local paper posted on Survivors reddit page. She is a 66 yo who is off and on the bottle. I am thinking despite how little of an entity she is as a public figure almost anyone from the show would scrape through with a Daily Mail mention. She might be worth a punt in the future at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was a premerge boot(Finished 11th out of 18 players) on a season 8 1/2 years ago and went back to his normal life. We are at a point now where basically any past contestant from the show will get a copy/paste job from Daily Mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,985 Posted January 5, 2017 Why the hell would the DM print his obit? Kitty Kallen and Piet de Jong want to know. SC People Magazine and EW cover the show and it takes them 2 seconds to copy/paste from one of those. Whoever they copy Head Of State and 50's singer obits I guess didn't think De Jong and Kallen were worthy of a writeup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First of all, RIP Jenn Lyon. And then there are two other former contestants I know of on the DDP, and both are much more notable than Jenn. -Rudy Boesch, 82 years old, former Navy SEAL, and recent widower. Competed on the very first season in Borneo and acquired fame through his 3rd place finish, his friendship with Richard Hatch, and his overall personality and presence. -Ethan Zohn, 36 years old, famous in both the world of Survivor and the world of soccer. He is the winner of season three in Kenya. He's no stranger to dealing with cancer. He and his girlfriend, Jenna Morasca (Survivor 6) both lost parents to cancer. Twitter claims Rudy Boesch is dead. Looking for corroboration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudy has given the Reaper a Hidden Immunity Idol to try and buy himself some time @KelseyMesserian Replying to @RedmondSurvivor Hi, I actually am Rudy’s only granddaughter. He is still alive, but in hospice care. His condition is slowly declining. My family is staying positive and trying to hope for the best. Apparently in Hospice Care with round the clock medical attention,probably don't want to pencil him in to your 2020 teams but not dead yet 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
