Kim Johnson — 'Mama Kim' — was, at 56, one of the oldest women to reach a Survivor finale at the time. A steady member of the dominant Boran alliance, she stayed quietly loyal while Ethan, Lex, and Tom did the louder work.
When it mattered most she delivered, winning the final two immunity challenges — including a Final 3 endurance test that Lex dropped out of with stomach pains — to lock up her seat. She lost the Final Tribal to Ethan Zohn, 5-2.
