Tina Wesson
Ogakor's steady-handed matriarch, who won the Outback with votes she never missed and a pitch Colby couldn't refuse.
Sole Survivor
- Won Survivor 2: The Australian Outback (2001) after 42 days.
Known for
Tina got the Australian Outback call as an alternate a week before filming and made it count. She played den mother on Ogakor and formed a tight pair with Colby Donaldson, and every single vote she cast that season landed on the person who went home. She never won individual immunity, and she didn't need to: at the end, with Colby holding all the power, she persuaded him to bring her to the Final Two over Keith, against his own interests. The two had even made a side bet over who would keep the Barramundi tribe flag, and Tina got that too.
Returning as a champion was harder. In All-Stars her winner's badge made her an instant target and she was out at the first vote. Blood vs. Water was a much longer ride: she fought her way back from Redemption Island and became the last person voted out before the Final Tribal Council.
