Talking with T-Bird: Jan Gentry

Talking with T-Bird: Jan Gentry The time has come for the return of “Talking with T-Bird.” Each episode, Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Survivor: Africa‘s Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper (@tbirdcooper) will catch up with a former Survivor player and talk about anything and take listener questions. In the fifty-second episode of “Talking with T-Bird,” Rob and T-Bird’s guest is 3rd place finisher on Survivor: Thailand, Jan Gentry. Jan’s Survivor career began with a big responsibility: as eldest female, she was charged with choosing the members of the Chuay Ghan tribe. Although she was criticized for choosing the older and perceived weaker castaways, it may have been that early game decision that resulted in her lasting in the game until day 38. A kooky, offbeat character, Jan both mystified and entertained her tribe. Perhaps most memorable was the pet cemetery she established on Chuay Ghan beach, best retold in Mario Lanza’s Funny 115 article. Jan’s non-threatening air had her protected until the Final Immunity Challenge, where season winner Brian Heidik decided to send her to jury as he felt she was very well-liked and he had a better chance against Clay Jordan. T-Bird and Rob are thrilled to catch up with Jan 20 years after her Survivor debut.
