In this episode of Beyond the Torch, hosts Leslie and Todd sit down with Whitney Duncan, a fan-favorite from Survivor: South Pacific (Season 23), who made it to the jury before being voted out. Whitney shares her full story — from being recruited to apply while still a rising country music artist in Nashville, to the emotional weight she carried into the game after her cousin Holly Bobo was kidnapped just weeks before filming began. 

She opens up about the secret marriage she was navigating at the time, her undeniable on-island connection with Keith Tollefson (whom she married in 2014), and how their love story unfolded from silent casting observations to a stolen kiss behind a volcano rock at sunset. 

The episode also covers their stint on The Amazing Race, Whitney's current life as a songwriter, Orange Theory fitness coach, and mother of two young children (Duncan and Veda Vaughn), and a lively discussion about the current season of Survivor 50 and what they'd love to see in future seasons.
