So, I put my shoes on, grabbed my spear, mask. Granted, they tried their hardest to talk me out of it but I wasn't gonna listen to anyone who wasn't Jeff [Probst] or Mark [Burnett]. Once in a lifetime chance ya know!? I didn't think too much about what would happen if I blew it and got dragged across the skin shredding reef, haha.
So the camera crew followed as far as they could before leaving me to walk out alone, and I waded out to the edge of the reef and found a good channel, and honestly, getting out into the fissure in the reef was fairly easy and I had good timing between the waves.
Once I made it out into the deep, I was blown away. I realized immediately I was in a potentially dangerous situation. I mean I was wearing shoes to get across the reef, you ever tried to swim in shoes?!
The scene was one that I will never forget though, before the peril set in…. The fish! The life! The massive schools of very large game fish and all the life in between I was just in awe. All I could do was float there drinking in the wonders and the abundance.
At one point, I was circled by what I think was a school of Grand Trevally something of that nature and I had my spear with me. Maybe I thought I was gonna shoot a big fish to bring back to camp? One of these massive fish swims right up to me without a care in the world, it has no fear of me and in fact was quite curious, like, "What the hell is this thing flopping around in the deep?
It swam right up to me and I had my spear cocked and ready to fire. This massive fish just looked me right in the eye, daring me to try and spear it, I was so tempted, but I also knew a fish that size would have taken me for a ride and I may have lost my spear and perhaps it would have swam me down deep where I'd have to let go.
That's the other thing, I realized I was on the edge of a sea mount. The Cook Islands poke out the sea like the tippy tops of a mountain. I was on the edge of very, very deep water. I could see the floor just falling away like I was sitting on the peak of a mountain. The massive fish, sharks, and the inky cobalt blue of the deep rattled me and it hit me just how insane I was and how dangerous things could be.
If something happened to me, there was nobody gonna come save me, I was totally alone in one of the most wild places I've ever been in my life… wearing a pair of sneakers and holding a Hawaiian sling. Wow, still gives me chills thinking about that. I decided after a fairly short amount of time I needed to get back in. The getting in was much harder and much more dangerous as I had to body surf in on the back of a wave and try and time it right. Well, I almost made it but as I stood up on the reef I turned around and a wave twice the size of me was about to crash on my head.
Instinctively, I dove up into the wave as it crashed and I was able to keep my feet under me as the wave dragged me across the reef chewing up the bottoms of my sneakers. However, Lusth was blindsided by Parvati Shallow.
I just had a blast and solidified my passion for nature and adventure and the idea that we all have so much unlocked potential. Big thanks to jeffprobst and markburnett13 …and erikashay for giving me a shot in the first place, The experience truly changed my life.
Im incredibly excited for this season 40, Winners at War! Good luck to all these awesome players. Long Live Survivor! A post shared by ozcardagrouch ozcardagrouch on Feb 12, at pm PST. He returned for Survivor: South Pacific the 23rd season.
Lusth became the final member of the jury after losing an immunity challenge to Sophie Clarke — who went on to win. But then, you know, I realized that it helps keep me at the top of my game if I take my foot off the gas. He may be on to something.
Cesternino aside, none of the alums percent ruled out another go-round. Though Holland says he was left bitterly depressed and anxious because of his damaging villain edit in Winners at War , he would be willing to go back too—especially now that the producers have committed to featuring more diverse casts.
And, yeah, some of these media-savvy reality show vets could also just be in diplomatic mode for the sake of good publicity. For the record, the communications department for the online service that lets people hire celebrities to create personalized videos will not divulge numbers without express written consent from the celebrity. Another Survivor favorite asked me to fluff up their social media sponsorship paychecks for the sake of optics; said person was not Fairplay.
Fairplay recently became a licensed real estate broker and now lives in suburban Virginia with his two daughters. Many of the alums reaped the benefits, whether it was via increased Cameo requests or additional paid speaking opportunities.
They expect another bump with the upcoming, much-anticipated premiere, with seemingly unlimited editions to follow.
