Lydia Morales was a 42-year-old Fishmonger from Lakewood, Washington when she competed on
Survivor: Guatemala. Born in Okinawa, Japan as a US Marine Corps brat and later living in Puerto Rico and West Germany, Lydia earned her degree in Early Childhood Education from Clover Park College. Despite being considered a physical liability who lagged behind during the grueling opening hike, she proved herself as a hard worker and used her fishing skills to provide for her tribe. Lydia was saved multiple times by her strong social bonds and alliance loyalty, advancing all the way to fourth place before being voted out on Day 37 as a jury threat. Tragically, her son Nicholas was killed in a car accident on August 14, 2006 at age 17, shortly after the season aired.
