Bob Crowley, a 57-year-old high school physics teacher from Maine, was the oldest person ever to win Survivor — and he did it with a teacher's ingenuity. His handcrafted fake idols became legend, fooling castmates into burning votes and blowing up the dominant alliance's plans.
Then he closed like an athlete, winning three consecutive individual immunities when his game was on the line and taking Gabon 4-3. A gentle, brilliant underdog who out-thought a cast half his age.
