Ozzy Lusth is what many call the quintessential survivor. Fans of the show say he has what it takes to win challenges, live off the land, and go the distance. However, he just can’t cross the finish line. He hopes to change that this time around, though. Ozzy admits that he has been to some dark places since his time on the show, and now he’s back and ready to take it all the way with Survivor 50.
Ozzy Lusth was shocked to get the call to be on the Survivor 50 cast
Despite being a fan favorite and a great overall player, Ozzy did not expect to hear from Survivor. After the show, he made some missteps and went to some “dark places.” This included dabbling in pornography and OnlyFans. But he was thrilled to be given a chance to come back for the special Survivor 50 season.
“When they first started making the calls, I was like, ‘Dude, are you sure?’” Ozzy told Entertainment Weekly. “He (Jesse Tannenbaum) was like, ‘Look, they know everything. They know it all. It’s not a deal breaker. So that’s obviously why we’re calling you now.’ And I was like ‘F*ck yea, let’s go!’”
Ozzy shared that he had been in a bad place before making changes in his life. “I stopped everything a couple of months before I left LA,” he said. “That was kind of my rock bottom of my life, I would say. I went to a dark place and realized that I had to make a huge change. So that’s one of the reasons why I left Los Angeles, to go do and build something that I can be proud of.”
“I’m not going to play the same stupid game I’ve played in the past,” Ozzy revealed. “I’m not going to rely on my ability to catch fish and win challenges. (This time) I’m going to develop some deep relationships with some people that people wouldn’t expect. At least that’s what I’m hoping. I’m hoping I can find some alliances out there that are not what people would assume.”
Survivor is available to stream on Paramount+.
