Survivor[]
Julie McGee came on Survivor: San Juan del Sur with her boyfriend, John Rocker. When it was time to separate into tribes, Julie ended up on the blue tribe, Hunahpu. Hunahpu generally defeated the opposing tribe, Coyopa in challenges. Julie herself, defeated John in the second Hero's duel very easily because of John's larger body frame. She won her tribe fishing gear, but they traded it for flint, which the tribe had recently lost. Julie sent Jeremy Collins to join John on Exile Island. Julie felt uncomfortable when Hunahpu clapped after John's elimination. Coyopa manage to break their losing streak and sent Hunahpu to Tribal Council. Julie was targeted by Jon Misch because of her aloof nature, while Jeremy targeted Keith Nale due to lack of trust. However, the woman became annoyed with Drew Christy, who was arrogant and threw the challenge. Julie received two votes from Keith and Reed Kelly, but it was Drew who was voted out at Tribal Council that night.
On Day 11, a Tribe Switch occurred. Julie stayed on Hunahpu. The new Hunahpu won all challenges. However, they had very little rice due to overeating and Jeff had to give them rice in exchange for their shelter. Unfortunately, it rained heavily and Julie considered quitting. Jeremy managed to talk her out of it.
On Day 16, the tribes merged. Julie was in hot water after being discovered to have been hoarding the tribe's trail mix in her bra. Julie, missing John and worried this was her last chance to be with him considered quitting again. Jeremy and Missy Payne tried to convince her not to, but all the talks confirmed that Julie was going to be used as an extra vote. Julie talked to Jeff Probst, and despite his attempts to convince her otherwise, Julie quit the game.
