Fifty percent of the voting for the ‘Survivor’ Hall of Fame was based on the ballots of the Executive Voting Committee. This blue-ribbon panel consisted of “Survivor” luminaries such as Host and Producer Jeff Probst, Challenge Producer John Kirhoffer, Executive Producer David Burris, Producer Jesse Jensen, members of the “Survivor” press corps, and XFINITY TV’s “Survivor” Guy Gordon Holmes.
The other fifty percent came from “Survivor” fans like you.
We’re proud to induct Parvati Shallow as the first member of the “Survivor” Hall of Fame Class of 2010. Not only was Parvati the only player whose name appeared on all nine of the Executive Voting Committee’s ballots, but she also received more fan votes than any other Survivor.
We had a chance to speak with the newly crowned Hall of Famer to get her thoughts on this honor…
What does it mean to you to not only get the most fan votes, but to be the only person to get a vote from everybody on the voting committee?
Parvati: To be recognized as one of the best by the guys whose job is to make the game as difficult and challenging as possible is truly an honor. I loved playing “Survivor” and was never content to let anyone play for me. It’s cool that all the producers and press could see how hard I was working out there on the island. I guess I’m going to have to thank them and the rest of the contestants for never taking it easy on me so that I could rise to the challenge. All the bug bites, busted lips, severed fingers and starvation were worth it since all the fans watching at home were entertained enough to vote me into the Hall of Fame. Thanks everybody. I’m a very happy girl. Now where’s my trophy?
There’s a lovely photo of a plaque for you at the top of this article. What do you think of “Survivor: Nicaragua”?
Parvati: I’m wholly unimpressed with the current season. My highlights: Brenda was cute and we got to see Jeff Probst get hopping mad at the quitters.
Any chance we’ll ever see you on ‘Survivor’ again?
Parvati: Sorry, guys. Dishes are done. You’ll have to go to espwellnesscenter.com to find me.
