Survivor: Borneo’s Sue Hawk does her first interview in over 20 years — just dropped a bombshell
Survivor: Borneo’s Sue Hawk does her first interview in over 20 years (and has a lot to say about the Survivor 50!)
After more than 20 years, the legendary Survivor: Borneo contestant who compared her season’s finalists to the snakes and rats of the island they were living on has finally come back into the light to share her thoughts on modern Survivor.
On the latest episode of Rob Has a Podcast’s “Talking with T-Bird” series (below), Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper was so excited to share with Rob Cesternino that she had finally procured interest from Sue Hawk who decided that with her 65th birthday taking place, it was finally a good time to revisit the world of Survivor and everything that’s happened since she last appeared on Survivor: All-Stars, leaving the game after being sexually harassed by her former tribe mate, Richard Hatch.
When asked what she thought about her former tribe mate Jenna Lewis-Doughtery going out for Survivor 50, Hawk replied, “Boring. Like, I don’t think she should have been there,” only to realize she misheard Cooper and thought they were talking about Genevieve Mushaluk.

“Oh, Jenna! Jenna Lewis!” The 7th place finalist laughed, “First one out? I mean, that’s the worst I would think. Like, you go out there and…that would be the one position you wouldn’t want. She’s just flapping her mouth right away…”
Safe to say, Hawk had no problems sharing her thoughts on the latest round of returning contestants. Including fan favorite Ozzy Lusth.
“What blew my mind on [50] was Ozzy. I never watched Ozzy in any of his seasons, but I heard, you know, you’d hear stuff over the years with this Ozzy guy…” Hawk begins after discussing loyalty in the game, only to take a sharp left turn by asking, “Who the hell wears a mullet in 2026?
To say she was unimpressed with him from Day 1 is an understatement. “Then when he had the dream,” she continues, “[about] getting voted off the island, I’m like, did you not follow your intuition? He is a shallow soul. He is a young, weak soul.”
