Talking with T-Bird: Jerri Manthey

For everyone who wanted more T-Bird in the Survivor off-season, your wish has been granted as we once again start up the series “Talking with T-Bird.” Each episode, Rob Cesternino and Survivor: Africa‘s Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper (@tbirdcooper) will catch up with a former Survivor player and talk about anything and take listener questions. In the twenty-sixth episode of “Talking with T-Bird”, Rob and T-Bird’s guest is none other than Jerri Manthey.

Rob and T-Bird speak with Survivor castaway, Jerri Manthey. Jerri is a 3-time survivor player, who famously played on Survivor: The Australian Outback, Survivor: All-Stars, and Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. On Survivor: The Australian Outback, Jerri quickly made enemies on the Ogakor tribe, solidifying herself as Survivor’s first villainess. Her love-hate relationship with fellow castaway Colby Donaldson carried onto future seasons, as the two of them returned to play 2 more times. Jerri placed 8th after 27 days in the outback. On Survivor: All-Stars, it was this relationship with Colby that ultimately cost Jerri her game where she finished 10th after 24 days in the game. After returning a third time to play for Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Jerri was a proud member of the Villains tribe. Her stellar alliance and social game took her all the way to day 38, where she was voted out before the final 3 becoming the final member of the jury. From her early Survivor days to her iconic exit from the Survivor: All-Stars reunion show, to her strong game in Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Jerri has cemented her place in Survivor history.
