When it comes to the game of Survivor, no one wants to be the first to have their torch extinguished, but that distinction went to 48-year-old Wendy DeSmidt-Kohlhoff last night as season 21 of the hit show began.
Wendy, a goat farmer from Fromberg, Mont., played a quiet game for the three days she survived in Nicaragua after taking her husband's advice to not annoy people. "I stopped being myself," Wendy tells In Touch. "I listened to what he said, and he was totally shocked watching the first episode. I don't think he thought I'd take it to heart and was devastated at the result. That hurt."
With the two tribes this season split into the over-40 crowd and the under-40s, Wendy found herself singled out by fellow contestant (and former NFL coach) Jimmy Johnson as being one of the tribe's weakest links. She might have played it quiet at first, but after her Espada tribe lost their first challenge to the La Flor tribe, Wendy became very vocal at Tribal Council, telling her tribe why she might be an asset in the future: a move that ultimately may have led to her demise. With her torch extinguished, Wendy began the trek through Survivor's first graveyard. "Oh my God, how horrible!" admits Wendy. "I totally got lost in it and ended up wandering for some time. I wished one of the graves had been open so I could have laid down and rested. It was eerie."
