Travis Sampson

Travis "Bubba" Sampson was a contestant in Survivor: Vanuatu.

Survivor: Vanuatu
Travis became a member of the older men alliance on the original Lopevi (consisting of himself, Lea Masters, Rory Freeman, Chad Crittenden, and Chris Daugherty). Together, the 5 of them saved Chris from being voted out after the losing the first Immunity Challenge (after Chris was being targeted by the older men for causing Lopevi's loss during the first Immunity Challenge). Systematically, the older guys kept their control taking out John Palyok and Brady Finta at Lopevi's next two Tribal Council visits.

On Day 11, the two tribes shuffled and Travis became a member of the new Yasur tribe. Realizing the men on the new Lopevi had a number's advantage over the women, Travis attempted to warn tribemate Chris to throw the Immunity Challenge, whispering "Chris, think about the merge" to him. Unknowingly, Travis had been overheard by his new tribemate Ami Cusack. The new Yasur lost the Immunity Challenge, putting Travis on the chopping block due to his plotting. Eliza Orlins attempted to save Travis and Rory (That Tribal's targets) by arguing the possibility of Yasur going on a losing streak without the men. Nevertheless, Travis was voted out in a unanimous 6-1 vote for his attempted plotting with the other tribe.
