Tina Marie Wesson is a contestant from Survivor: All-Stars.
Tina's time in All-Stars was cut short as she was a target for being a previous winner. When her tribe lost the season's first Immunity Challenge, she was voted out at the first Tribal Council for being the physically-weaker previous winner on the Saboga tribe.

Since being declared Sole Survivor of Survivor: The Australian Outback, Tina Wesson has been working as a motivational speaker, which has enabled her to travel around the country encouraging people to do whatever it takes in order to live a fulfilling life. She takes her motto, "It is a mistake to not live all you can!," very seriously. She previously worked as a private duty nurse, a community education director, flight attendant, substitute teacher and a swimming instructor. Tina obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in therapeutic recreation from the University of Tennessee in 1983. An avid athlete, she is most proud of having completed the Dublin, Ireland Marathon, as well as placing first in the Tennessee State Racquetball Tournament and in her age division in her hometown mini-triathlon, all in the same year (1998).
Tina describes herself as happy, content, adventurous, outgoing and very much in love. Her favorite hobbies are racquetball, paddleball, running, swimming and motorcycling. Her favorite television show is Survivor, while her favorite feature films are "Out of Africa" and "Shadowlands." She prefers contemporary Christian and pop rock music, citing Matchbox 20 and John Mayer as her favorite artists. While rooting for the University of Tennessee Volunteers and the Tennessee Titans, she's always game for a round of backgammon. Her perfect day consists of eating a good breakfast followed by a ride on her motorcycle to the mountains with her husband and her best friend. After a hike, she'd play racquetball, take a shower, have dinner, see a movie while eating a big bag of popcorn and then head home to bed. She's an early riser.
Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Tina currently lives there with her husband, Dale, and her two children, Katie, 16 and Taylor, 15. She is a member of the Outstanding Young Women of America and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Her birth date is December 26, 1961.[1]

—Jenna Lewis, in reference to the returning winners, including Tina | ||
Tina returned for Survivor: All-Stars and was initially placed on the Saboga tribe. The tribe was immediately divided between three pairs: Jenna Lewis and Tina's former The Australian Outback tribemate Jerri Manthey over their resentment of having previous winners, as well as Tina and Jerri's past history, Tina and Africa winner Ethan Zohn, who aligned out of necessity as former winners, and Rudy Boesch and Rupert Boneham, who found themselves in the middle of the other two pairs.
After Saboga lost the first Immunity Challenge, Jenna L. and Jerri targeted Tina over Ethan, feeling that Ethan's physical abilities would be more valuable in challenges. In response, Tina and Ethan targeted Jenna L., who was leading the charge against the former winners. Though both sides attempted to secure Rudy and Rupert as the critical swing votes, at Tribal Council, Rudy and Rupert decided to align with Jenna L. and Jerri, sending Tina home in a 4-2 vote.
