‘I was farting a lot’: Survivor evictee Aimee reveals the gross problem plaguing eliminated contestants

THINK Survivor contestants have it tough on the island? This evictee reveals she suffered a more horrendous challenge after leaving.

BEING isolated on an island without first-world comforts is torturous. But the horrendous stomach issues that come after leaving the island are worse.

The latest Survivor evictee Aimee Stanton has revealed she became so ill after being voted off the island that fellow passengers on the flight home had to leave their allocated seats because of the ... smell.

“I was actually really sick and when I was on the plane I was having some stomach problems,” Stanton, 23, told Studio 10. “I was farting a lot and the people behind me they were like, ‘Ugh what’s that smell?!’ And they actually moved from the exit row seats to get away from me.”

Aimee Stanton is sent home from the Survivor camp.

And Stanton is not alone. Chronic stomach issues seem to be the final challenge camp mates are faced with once they’re booted off the island.

Earlier this week, evictee Mark “Tarzan” Herlaar said he became so ill with “dysentery” after leaving the island that he was bedridden.

“It manifested two days after I got home and I was just crook as a dog, like, I had dysentery and was nauseated and sick,” he told Fairfax.

“Like, if I was in that condition and still on the island, here’s the thing I guarantee, like, I was sick like that for a week, so physically they would have pulled me out of the game because my health went south.”

Mark Herlaar says he suffered severe stomach issues after leaving the island.

Herlaar, 51, said he assumed the illness was a result of the drinking water provided on the island or from the mud challenge.

Following his elimination, Herlaar also answered a much-pondered question by viewers: Where do the contestants go to the bathroom?

Speaking to KIIS 1065’s The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Monday, Herlaar claimed he and his fellow contestants were left with rather informal provisions during their time on Samoa.

“There’s plenty of coconut trees. It’s just ... as it takes you,” he said when asked what bathroom facilities were available. “You just go wherever you feel you need to.”

He added: “To be honest with you, most of them didn’t s**t for three or four days. It’s actually not high on your priority list, going to the bathroom.”
