Michael Skupin

Known for

Michael played the Australian Outback like a man on a mission to feed everyone, whether they were hungry or not. He hauled gear, fished, cooked rice at dawn to poor reviews, went hunting a wild pig with the tribe's only knife, and dispatched the reward chickens fast. On Day 17 he breathed in campfire smoke, blacked out and fell into the flames, burning his hands badly enough that he was airlifted out, just shy of the merge.

Philippines gave Skupin a do-over. He clicked with Lisa Whelchel on Tandang, rode his tribe's winning streak to the merge without ever sitting through a Tribal, and became the swing vote everyone wooed. He broke from Tandang to blindside Artis Silvester, Lisa followed a vote later, and the pair sided with Denise Stapley and Malcolm Freberg's crowd. He won the final immunity and helped send Malcolm to the jury, but the jury didn't buy his claim of constant danger, and Denise won 6-1-1, with his lone vote coming from Carter Williams.
