It sounds like jumping into a reality show cutthroat competition served her well! She added, "Going out to Survivor was helpful for me, to divert my attention and not just dwell on the loss...It was painful to realize that it wasn't going to work out."

Lisa and her ex-hubby must still get along since they gathered with their three grown kids to watch her in the Tandag tribe during the premiere of Survivor on Wednesday night.
