Hunter Ellis was a 33-year-old Fighter Pilot from La Jolla, California when he competed on
Survivor: Marquesas. A USC graduate and former US Navy F/A-18 Hornet pilot with over 2,000 flight hours and more than 300 carrier landings, Hunter brought military discipline and leadership to the Maraamu tribe. Despite being the tribe's strongest physical competitor and natural leader, his dominance made him a target. Hunter was blindsided on Day 9 after Rob Mariano orchestrated a power shift, and he has since become a television host and correspondent.
