Rudy Boesch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rudolph Ernst "Rudy" Boesch (January 20, 1928 – November 1, 2019) was a United States Navy SEAL and a two-time competitor on the reality competition show Survivor. The oldest competitor on the inaugural Survivor: Borneo at 72 years of age, Boesch finished in third place. The program was the top-rated show on American television during the summer of 2000, and… with his gruff, cantankerous manner, and his politically incorrect "Rudyisms", he became one of the show's most popular contestants. Boesch set the age record again when he competed on Survivor: All-Stars at 75. He parlayed his fame into several other television appearances, including hosting the show Combat Missions in 2002.
