In the early goings of Survivor 4 Marquesas,
even while her tribal mates were
affectionately calling her 'mom' and
'momma', Patricia Jackson was felled by a
classic Survivor power play.
With couples Rob & Sarah, Sean &
Vecepia, and Hunter & Gina all
battling for power & position,
Patricia's ouster was inescapable.
Nevertheless she
clearly demonstrated during her brief
tenure on Nuku Hiva that she had the grit
and determination to have gone the
distance. Her gung-ho approach may
have rankled, and her schoolmarm manner
may have riled, but her survival instincts
~ rather like a mother robin come to think
of it ~ were first-rate.
On the other hand
this is a woman who has been married to
the same man for 30 years. We don't
know the guy, but we do know men, and
compared to her home life we imagine a
stint eating bugs and raw fruit on a
remote island could only have seemed like
a grand vacation...
