Marya Sherron drew the worst kind of straw on Survivor 42: she was the one who took the fall when the actual target talked her way off the chopping block. Taku hit Tribal for the first time and the read in camp was that Maryanne Oketch — loud, emotional, the obvious wild card — was a goner. Instead Maryanne ran her mouth a mile a minute and steered the whole thing somewhere else, and the somewhere else was Marya. She fished out her Shot in the Dark to save herself, but it came up empty, and she went home sixteenth, the first Taku boot of the season. Rough luck on the timing — the woman who escaped her vote went on to win the whole thing, so Marya was essentially collateral in the eventual Sole Survivor's first great escape. A stay-at-home mom out there on a self-discovery journey after personal loss, she's said the brief run was genuinely healing, and you walk away wishing the Shot in the Dark had hit and bought her a longer stay.
