Missy Byrd Brain Tumor

Before Missy could graduate college she was diagnosed with a tumor in her pituitary gland. The doctors blamed some of her early symptoms (like weight loss) to her athletic lifestyle. She said, “I didn’t know it was happening at all, I just started feeling minor changes in my body pretty much. And so I would go to basketball practice, I would go to class, and I would just suffer in some areas.”

She continued “I would do really bad on this test, or I would do something bad in basketball. I couldn’t stay at school. My dad died during that time, and the tumor messed with my emotions. Normally a parent dies and you cry, but my body didn’t let me have those responses. I was really out of whack, hiding from people, running away. Crazy stuff.”

Byrd was finally diagnosed by a doctor at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Doctors were able to give her medication that shrank the tumor and recalibrated her hormones.

Missy Byrd Survivor 39

Byrd was a contestant from Survivor: Island of the Idols. Missy rose as a strategic powerhouse in the game, forming a women’s alliance on the Lairo tribe, as well as a separate alliance with Aaron Meredith. Missy quickly took control of the game, positioning herself at the top of the Lumuwaku tribe following the merge.

However, she also developed a rocky relationship with Karishma Patel, which led to her eventual downfall when her allies were scattered across two teams by a Double Elimination. After an attempt to get Karishma to vote out Tommy Sheehan went awry due to Missy’s domineering approach, Missy found herself being the one blindsided instead.

Speaking about whom contestant she compares herself with, she mentioned Kim, “my girl is a legend. She hit the sand and aligned quickly. She played both sides effortlessly. I would play like this. Kill ’em with a smile” She added. Missy believes she can survive the survivor series quoting, “Beyoncé wrote a song about surviving so I have to honor Queen B”.

In the 39th season of the Emmy Award-winning reality series that challenges players to outplay, outwit and outlast their opponents, Survivor is introducing a new element to the game: the Island of the Idols. This edition features two legendary winners, “Boston” Rob Mariano and Sandra Diaz-Twine, who return to the game not to compete, but to serve as mentors to a group of 20 new players.

Combined, Boston Rob and Sandra have played over 200 days of Survivor and now they plan to share what they’ve learned with the new castaways. The players will then attempt to put those learned skills to the test and chase the title of Sole Survivor—not to mention the $1 million grand prize.

Missy Byrd Dan Spilo

Elizabeth Beisel and Missy Byrd found themselves at the center of controversy on Wednesday night’s episode of Survivor: Island of the Idols after they appeared to exaggerate or fabricate their reactions to touching from fellow contestant Dan Spilo as a strategic move in the game.

Missy apologized to Kellee and Janet via social media, explaining, “I got so caught up in gameplay that I did not realize a very serious situation, nor did I handle it with the care that it deserved.” She also apologized to all women and described it as “a life-changing learning moment for me.” You can view the full apologies on her twitter page.

Elizabeth turned to Twitter and Instagram to apologize. While offering individual apologies to Kellee, Janet, and Dan, she also addressed “women everywhere,” writing, “Sexual harassment and sexual assault are extremely serious, life-altering topics that I do not take lightly. They have no business being used as tactics to further one’s own agenda, whether it be in real life or in the game of Survivor. I am beyond disappointed in my behavior and will use this as a life-changing, teaching moment.”
