The story

Maralyn "Mad Dog" Hershey was one of the breakout characters of the Australian Outback — a tough, big-hearted older woman on Ogakor whose warmth and grit made her an early fan favorite.

She lasted 9 days in the unforgiving Outback before Ogakor's younger core voted her out fourteenth. Her run was short, but 'Mad Dog' left a far bigger mark on the season than her placement suggests.
