DIANE OGDEN THE FIRST "CANNED"
October 11, 2001
 SURVIVOR AFRICA has arrived, and Diane Ogden, a 42-year-old United States Postal Carrier from Lincoln, Nebraska, became the first person voted out of the Boran tribe. Diane, who struggled during and after the extremely physical Immunity Challenge, was persuaded by her fellow tribe member Clarence Black to eat a can of beans while the others were away from camp gathering water. Walking away from tribal council with an extinguished torch, Diane defined her experience, "I have no regrets. I am actually glad; it was a lot tougher than I thought it would be." ( Diane's Final Words )
SURVIVOR AFRICA's premise is simple: Stranded and left to fend for themselves in one of the most life-threatening places on earth, sixteen average Americans must learn to adapt and survive not only the harsh environment, but more importantly, each other. Every three days the Survivors must gather to vote out one of their own. In the end, the Ultimate Survivor wins one million dollars.
 It started with a grueling seven-hour journey along the unpaved, desolate terrain of Kenya. Animals were abundant as the sixteen-seat Over Lander transport vehicle rumbled closer to its final destination in the heart of the bush. As the vehicle came to a stop and the armed Esacri soldier ordered the Survivors down off the truck, the Survivors realized they were in for the adventure of a lifetime. Separated into two competing tribes, Samburu and Boran--named after the local tribes that inhabit the land--the Survivors alertly made their way to the supply area. Frantically, both teams sprang into action, assessing what supplies were necessities and what creature comforts were available to take with them to the camps.
