Survivor legend Parvati Shallow has retired.
Parvati revealed that she is done competing on reality competition shows and is ready to transition into hosting and producing.
Her comments followed her time on Deal or No Deal Island 2.
Survivor fans first met Parvati during Season 13 in the Cook Islands. She returned for (and won) Survivor 16 in Micronesia.
Since then, Parvati has been considered a Survivor legend, finishing as the runner-up on Heroes vs. Villans (Survivor 20) and competing on Survivor: Winners At War (Season 40).
Parvati also ventured to Scotland to appear on The Traitors US and Australia to play on their version of Survivor.
The end of one road for Parvati Shallow
Parvati was asked what the future holds for her after being on Deal or No Deal Island 2.
“I’m moving out of reality competitor, and I’m moving into host and executive producer roles and creating,” Parvati elaborated.
The reality TV legend has retired from playing but isn’t done in the genre.
“I started a podcast called Nice Girls Don’t Win with story producer Amy Bean, who was out on Deal or No Deal with me, and we’re interviewing interesting people and having really fun conversations there,” Parvati told TV Insider. “I’ve moved into a whole new arena of creative projects, and I’m really excited about what’s coming next.”
