Tanya Vance was a 27-year-old Social Worker from Gray, Tennessee when she competed on
Survivor: Thailand. A former track and field standout who attended East Tennessee State University on a running scholarship, Tanya earned her Bachelor's degree in Social Work and dedicated her career to helping sexually and physically abused children. On the Chuay Gahn tribe, she quickly became dehydrated and fell ill, though she remained well-liked by her tribemates. Tanya was voted out on Day 6 due to health concerns, and she later became a pharmaceutical representative and married Joseph Lucazj in 2010.
