Jude Wilken is a contestant from Survivor South Africa: Panama.
Though initially strong in challenges and in a comfortable position on her tribe, Jude found herself falling ill a few days into the game, including a rapidly decreasing blood pressure and trouble standing. Though she asked to be voted out, Mark Bayly chose to let her quit instead, with the vote instead going toward giving a separate player a penalty vote.

Survivor South Africa[]
Jude was placed on the Aguila tribe. Early in the game, as Jude had joined Nico Hinis, Mzi Tyhokolo, Sanele Gumede and Vanessa Marawa targeting Brigitte Willers and Sam Allerton as they were viewed as a duo. On Day 6, after losing the third Immunity Challenge, Aguila grew concerned for Jude's health, as their food supply was reduced and getting worse. Thus, she requested from her tribe to vote her out in order to keep them strong. At Tribal Council, Jude decided to quit as she felt that her health was deteriorating quickly due to the food shortage on their island. She gave a tearful goodbye to her tribemates before her torch was snuffed.
