Survivor: Vanuatupremiered during one of the show’s hottest periods on the air in 2004, but behind the scenes, a lesser-known story unfolded that added a twist to the reality show’s history. Despite the drama that ensued throughout season 9, a more personal story emerged between long-time host Jeff Probst and contestant Julie Berry, who forged a relationship during filming. Berry outlasted her tribemates until the final five when she was eventually voted out on day 36, but her relationship with Probst would continue long after the season concluded, with the couple dating for almost four years.
