Tennessee Nurse Is ‘Survivor’ Winner
Tina Wesson, the sweet-talking nurse from Tennessee, on Thursday joined Richard Hatch in the “Survivor” millionaires club.
The 40-year-old mother of two from Knoxville outlasted Colby Donaldson, the heartthrob Texan, to become a future pop-culture trivia answer as the winner of the Outback edition of the television game show.
Wesson watched live in a Los Angeles studio as the votes from fellow contestants were counted and she was the winner.
“Oh, my God!” she exclaimed after winning the 4-3 vote--and the $1-million prize.
