In addition to his acting and writing credits, Penner is perhaps best known as a three-time contestant on Survivor .
Penner was a contestant on Survivor: Cook Islands in 2006. [7] He was one of the original five members of the Rarotonga tribe (Raro). He quickly became notorious among the cast for stealing another tribe's chicken on the first day. In episode three, the four tribes evenly divided into two new mixed tribes, Aitutaki and Rarotonga. Penner found himself on Aitutaki (Aitu). While a member of Aitu, he became part of an alliance that consisted of Yul Kwon, Candice Woodcock, Becky Lee and Sundra Oakley. This alliance lasted until episode eight when the members of Aitu and Raro were offered a chance to mutiny by joining the opposing tribe. Penner, along with Woodcock, chose to leave Aitu for Raro, the only two castaways to accept the offer. After the merge, he flipped again and voted with the former Aitus. Ultimately, Kwon voted him out to appease the former Raro members, who viewed Penner as duplicitous for having betrayed them. He was the fourteenth person voted out, finishing in seventh place. As his torch was snuffed, he turned to the Final Six and said, "And I'd like my hat back at some point", then left (Kwon actually did bring his hat back to him at the next Tribal Council). Penner humbly voted for Kwon to win in the Final Tribal Council.
Penner was also a contestant on Survivor: Micronesia — Fans vs. Favorites , the 16th season of Survivor which aired in 2008. [8] He was one of ten returning favorites on the Malakal tribe [9] and later switched to Airai. He was removed from the game during the sixth episode, due to a life-threatening infection in his injured knee. The Survivor medics stated that he had no choice but to be evacuated from the game as the sixth person to leave the competition. [10]
Penner returned to play the game for a third time on Survivor: Philippines , the 25th season of Survivor. [11] He was one of the three returning players who had been medically evacuated during their previous season, the others being Michael Skupin ( Survivor: The Australian Outback ) and Russell Swan ( Survivor: Samoa ). During the season, Penner worked quite closely with castaway and fellow actress Lisa Whelchel. [12] He ended up being the 11th person voted out, placing seventh overall, which is where he had also finished the first time he participated on Survivor. [13] At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for Denise Stapley to win after claiming that Skupin and Whelchel were "ridden in like oxen" by Stapley, who indeed proved to be the eventual winner. [14]
In total, Penner has spent 78 days playing the Survivor game. [15] In an interview following his departure from Survivor: Philippines, he said he would be open to returning for another season. [16]
