The story

Bruce Perreault is the patron saint of Survivor bad luck. A die-hard superfan and insurance agent from Rhode Island, he'd waited his whole life to play — and his Survivor 44 lasted exactly one challenge, a concussion in the opening reward forcing the first-ever Day 1 medical evacuation.

Jeff Probst gave him his shot back, and Bruce returned for Survivor 45 to finally play the game for real — making the most painful exit in the show's history just a prologue.
