Many former contestants have alluded to the mental toll of surviving Survivor.
After weeks deprived of food and water, emotional manipulation and physical labor, Max Dawson also believes Survivor doesn’t provide enough aftercare resources.
Winner of Survivor: Cambodia, Jeremy Collins, said on the reunion show that it took him a while to get right after playing so long.
He stated that after his stint on the show he received “a circa-2003 handout” for guidance and one session with the show psychologist.
