It's kind of amazing we haven't had more attrition among former contestants. I know of BB (season one) and Jenn Lyon (some other season), but she came to my attention mainly because she's from Hood River and it's a place I have been very many times.
Hatch and Skuperv have ended up in the pokey (in probably more than one way). Any other current or past guests of the authorities?

Don't forget Caleb from Blood vs Water, Colton's boyfriend. He died in a tragic on-the-job accident a couple years ago.
Also, on the Skupin bandwagon, according to the Survivor Wiki, Michigan police records show over 20 drivers license suspensions for Skupin between 1999 and 2013. And the whole child pornography thing came to light while he was being investigated for a Ponzi scheme. Ironically, he almost ran for US Senate in 2001. I feel he might have fit right in.
A couple years ago, Sugar from Gabon and Heroes vs Villains, was arrest for DWI. She took and posted a famous selfie of herself in the cop car after her arrest.
A former producer for the show was found guilty in Mexico of killing his wife while on vacation down there and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Several years ago, Fabio, winner of Nicaragua, was arrested for a DUI warrant that was discovered after police found him skateboarding in the street (which is illegal) and determined he was under the influence of a controlled substance.
Boo from Fiji had a restraining order placed against him several years ago by his then girlfriend after he allegedly attacked her at a bar. No charges were ever filed.
Russell Hantz was also arrested once for battery against a woman. Police say he shoved a woman to the ground. I don't think charges were ever filed. He claimed it was a misunderstanding and threatened to sue to the police.
Brian Heidik, winner of Thailand, was arrested several years ago and charged with cruelty to animals after he shot two puppies with arrows. He claimed in the dark he thought they were coyotes but he fled when police showed up. Both puppies survived.
There could be more. These are a few things that came up in my quick search.
(Re Mike Skupin) I know right? It just upset me because I really liked him as a player and felt so awful when he fell into the fire his first season. Then he turns out to be a low life jerk in real life.
But I found him to be kind of a jerk when he came back the second time. We only knew him as a "hero" because in season 2, he was the first "casualty" of the show and had gotten a very heroic edit. I suspect he was kind of a jerk all along, and if he'd finished out Season 2, he wouldn't have been so likeable in the edit.

Jenn was from Season 10. The "BB is dead" is a long-standing rumor. Far as I know he is not. SurvivorSucks would know.

Oh look who the thread gossip reporter is now. I did remember then all once the cobwebs got brushed aside.

I imagine so as well but now we will never ever know for sure because IF they ever brought him back on the show I'd for sure quit watching as I'm sure many others would do the same.

Didn't mean to take your job! But I had some free time and I got curious about it myself. It was actually pretty easy because TMZ had a whole file on Survivor contestants.
Maybe "Survivor" can have tribes with the names, "People With Arrest Records v People Without them."
Good one, Min!!
After a season is over on anything, I generally forget all the people and their names unless they stand out for some reason. The only way I hear anything about any of them is right here from our beloved Jax!
Dreamy Eyes and his obnoxious nephew, Jax's honey, Colby, who sorely disappointed her his 2nd time around. Rupert of course, the only Survivor my hubby watched while Rup was still in the tribe. Hatch, being a Rhode Islander. His nemesis, Sue. Tom, the fire fighter. Russell Snow because he died and came back on camera.
Mostly oldies, when the show was good. Now it's almost just a vacation that gets paid for.

Hey no problem didn't know that about TMZ I reckon they would need an awfully big whatever that stores all their info. Seems they are the first to report 'this just in'.

Now that would be a hoot as long as they didn't start sounding like our politicians!

Awww shucks thanks tami but there are many fine folks that have shared in this thread with all of us through the years. It is indeed more slightly struggling vacation compared to the early seasons.
