Chrissy competed on season 35 of CBS’s hit reality TV show, SURVIVOR: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, which aired in the fall of 2017. Despite being the oldest player in the game, she placed second overall, and tied the record for the most individual immunity wins by a woman in Survivor history. In this talk, Chrissy tells the tale of her distracted life pre-Survivor, and how playing the game helped her to appreciate today and see a world beyond the clock.
