Blair From The Facts Of Life To Appear On “Survivor”
Lisa Whelchel, AKA Blair Warner on the ’80s sitcom “The Facts of Life” is now a castaway. Whelchel is part of the cast of “Survivor: Philippines,” which premieres Wednesday, September 19 on CBS. It just might be enough to make me watch!
Whelchel tweeted a video to host Jeff Probst at the encouragement of a friend, asking to be on the show. It is not actually a celebrity cast on the show – in fact most of the other contestants on the show were unfamiliar with her work!
She tells Yahoo: “I’m a huge, huge fan and have been from Season 1. I haven’t missed an episode. I love the game and was born to play it … I never wanted to do reality TV, but this doesn’t feel like reality TV. This feels like having an adventure that I’ve always wanted to have. Even if this weren’t filmed, I would want to do it. It just happened that it’s filmed and put on television and I use to be on television.”
