Jerri Manthey

Australia
In 2001, she appeared on the television reality show Survivor: The Australian Outback. She was frequently involved in conflicts with the rest of the cast, earning her a degree of notoriety. When she was the ninth contestant voted off, she turned to all her castmates and replied "Checkmate - you guys got me." During the final jury section, she asked finalists Tina Wesson and Colby Donaldson what actions they regretted most in the game; although the question was phrased in a way that sounded like she wanted a personal apology, Colby said he regretted keeping Keith around to the final 3 and Tina bluntly said she regretted listening to Jerri when she led the accusations of food-smuggling against Kel Gleason, who was the first person voted out from their tribe.

All Stars
Manthey returned in the 2004 series Survivor: All-Stars. Although she played a less confrontational and directly manipulative strategy this time, she was again voted off ninth, but did not make the jury this time because there were 18 contestants instead of the 16 who were on the Australian Outback season. At the reunion show, she attempted to speak about the distorted image that viewers have of reality show contestants, but she was booed by the studio audience and left during a commercial break. During the "America's Tribal Council" episode, Jeff Probst was critical of Jerri when mentioning her comments that she was upset that Jeff had not defended her when the audience had let loose with boos.
