Rudy Boesch

Rudy Boesch was a 75-year-old Retired Navy SEAL from Virginia Beach, Virginia when he returned for Survivor: All-Stars, making him the oldest contestant in Survivor history at that time. A decorated Navy veteran who served 45 years including tours in Vietnam and as a founding member of SEAL Team TWO, Rudy brought unmatched military discipline to the game. His time on All-Stars was cut short when he suffered an ankle injury during a challenge, leading to his elimination on Day 5 as the second person voted out of Saboga. Rudy passed away on November 1, 2019 at the age of 91, leaving behind a legacy as one of Survivor's most beloved and respected competitors.
