Missy Payne
The self-styled tribe mom who helped steer the Fab Five, then watched Reed tear her game apart at Final Tribal.
Known for
Missy played San Juan del Sur alongside her daughter Baylor Wilson. Split up at the start, she aligned with Jeremy Collins on Hunahpu and joined the women who blindsided Drew Christy. The tribe switch reunited her with Baylor on Coyopa, where the pair recruited Jaclyn Schultz and Jon Misch to take out Kelley and then Dale Wentworth.
After the merge the duo joined Jeremy and Natalie Anderson in the Fab Five, though Missy later voted with Jon to blindside Jeremy. Her feud with Reed Kelly boiled over after he called Baylor a brat. An ankle injury during a reward challenge nearly ended her game; she chose to stay but had to sit out several key challenges. When Natalie played her idol on Jaclyn at the final five, Baylor went home instead of Jaclyn. At Final Tribal Missy sold herself as the tribe's mom who ran the boot order, but Reed's scorching speech took that apart, and Baylor cast her only vote in Natalie's 5-2-1 win.
