Voting HistoryEdit

DeathEdit

On January 19, 2010, Lyon passed away from breast cancer, which had come back from remission and had metastasized to her bones. She was thus the first cast member of Survivor to pass away. The special Surviving Survivor, which aired Thursday, February 4, 2010, just over two weeks after her death, was dedicated to her memory. The reunion episode of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains showed a montage video made up of moments of Lyon from her appearance on Survivor: Palau.
