A master in swimming, agility, and spearing things, Lusth excelled in the competition and won five out of the six individual immunity challenges.
Yet the “Aitu” tribe member’s torch was extinguished, placing him as the runner-up in the thirteenth season.Nevertheless, Ozzy is a rare gem in the Survivor-verse.
He is among only seven competitors of the show’s 626 castaways to play the game four times (Survivor: Cook Island, Survivor: Micronesia, Survivor: South Pacific, and Survivor: Game Changers).Even as he boomeranged back to the ‘verse three more times, the closest he clawed to the prize was a fourth place finish in the South Pacific.
