Rafe Judkins was a 22-year-old Wilderness Guide from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when he competed on
Survivor: Guatemala. A Brown University graduate who concentrated in Biology and Anthropology and had visited all 50 states and 14 countries by age 22, Rafe graduated cum laude from Sewickley Academy where he was voted 'most likely to be on
Survivor' by his senior class. He emerged as an unexpected challenge dominator, winning more individual challenges than anyone that season, and co-led the dominant Nakúm Alliance with Stephenie LaGrossa. Rafe made a Final Two deal with Danni Boatwright but after losing the final immunity challenge, he famously released her from their pact, a decision that cost him when Danni chose to take Stephenie instead. He later became a successful television writer, working on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and serving as a writer and executive producer for the Wheel of Time series.
