The worst part of Survivor was always when Jeff would say “I’ll go tally the votes” and leave with the urn for what felt like an eternity. You’d just be stuck on a stump, panicking, waiting to learn your fate. Welcome to the stump, folks 😈

In 2010 I was a very nervous, inexperienced law student interning at the FCC. Some other interns, who knew my only discernible personality trait was “likes Survivor,” thought I’d get a kick out of meeting their supervisor: Yul Kwon.

I applied for Survivor basically because I wanted to be Jonathan Penner. When I later got to know him and his family, I found the qualities I admire most in Penner — his wit, humor, and warmth — are shared in even greater measure by his wife, Stacy Title.
