Susan Hawk

Susan "Sue" Hawk (born August 17, 1961 in Waukesha, Wisconsin) is a reality TV personality who was a contestant on Survivor: Borneo and Survivor: All-Stars.

Survivor

During the original Survivor season, Survivor: Borneo, Hawk made it far in the game by using her secret alliance with Richard Hatch, Kelly Wiglesworth, and Rudy Boesch during a time when other cast members did not yet use alliances and several even considered allied voting to be "cheating". As the fourth-place finisher, she launched into her notable "snakes and rats" speech at the final Tribal Council that drew comparisons between the top two castaways, Richard and Kelly.^[1][2] In her speech, she said that the island they had been inhabiting was "full of only two things: snakes and rats" with Richard representing the overtly malicious snake and Kelly the underhanded rat. Hawk then urged the other jurors to obey the laws of nature by letting the snake eat the rat. She also told Kelly that if she ever saw her in life again, she would not give her a sip of water if she were dying of thirst and that she would not stop the vultures from attacking her. This resulted in angering fellow jurors Colleen Haskell and Gervase Peterson, who ultimately voted for Kelly. Nevertheless, Hatch still won 4-3.

In 2004, Hawk returned to Survivor for the Survivor: All-Stars season. Hawk's tribe, "Chapera" found early success. Her position in the game appeared stable until an incident prompted her to leave. During an immunity challenge, a naked Richard Hatch rubbed up against her, and Hawk became increasingly distraught over the incident the next day. At the next reward challenge, Survivor host Jeff Probst made a passing reference to the incident, which prompted Hawk to respond with a very angry speech, accusing Probst of making light of something that Hawk viewed as harassment. Despite the fact that Hatch had been eliminated on the prior episode (due to other reasons), Hawk claimed that "her mind left the game" and decided to remove herself from the competition.^[3][4]

Life after Survivor

On May 22, 2007, the infotainment television show Access Hollywood broadcast a "Where Are They Now?" segment on Hawk. According to the report, she and her husband now live on a 60-acre (240,000 m²) ranch near Clever, Missouri.^[5]
