Greg Buis 

Greg was the 8th person to be voted off the show and became the first-ever jury member in Survivor. He was known for his lively personality and a short fuse. Since his time on Survivor, Greg has kept his life private. Although he was offered the opportunity to return for Survivor: Second Chance, he declined due to professional obligations. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly and host Jeff Probst, it was revealed that Greg was offered the CEO position at a non-profit organization, which he couldn’t take on while also participating in Survivor. 

Jenna Lewis 

Jenna was voted off in eighth place and became the second jury member. She returned for Survivor: All-Stars and placed third.

She is now a mother living in California and works as a real estate agent. Despite her third-place finish in All-Stars, Jenna still holds the belief that she would have won the competition if the final round had been a three-person race.
