Gretchen Cordy

Gretchen Cordy was a contestant on Survivor: Borneo.

Gretchen is best remembered for being eliminated during the most split tribal council in a 4-1-1-1-1-1-1 vote.

Survivor
Starting the game, Gretchen was the right-hand-man to B.B. Andersen. However, after his early elimination on day 6, Gretchen took over as being the leader. Despite having some controversy by her tribemates as a leader, she was mostly accepted and was considered to do a better job at leading than B.B. was. This put Gretchen in a comfortable position, and let her coast to the merge. However, after failing to win the first ever individual immunity, Gretchen was voted out in a 4-1-1-1-1-1-1 vote, due to being seen as the biggest threat to the Tagi Alliance, and as well as the fact that Gretchen didn't want to make alliances with anyone.

"I would hope that it was because they felt that I was a threat, unless, you know, people had a conflict with me and didn't ever voice it-- which I do think is kind of an injustice. And I would hope that if somebody had a problem with me they would say it. So, you know, I can hope that, but I won't know until I watch the show. I can hope that it was because they thought I was a threat. That would make me feel good."
