On the Survivor: Kaôh Rong — Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty episode “It’s Merge Time,” two tribes merge. There are only 11 players left including Debbie Wanner, originally of Team Brains. During the show, the chemist has revealed a lot about herself — including that she’s a model. During a Survivor photo shoot to promote the show, Debbie posed in a wild one-piece Tiger bathing suit. It was so memorable that fans wondered why she doesn’t wear it on the show. Wanner explained that it’s really a sheer leotard that when wet is inappropriate for TV.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t wear one! There are a number of similar (some might say better) versions that you can actually go swimming in — and still appear on TV, if that’s in your plans. If you’re really daring, there’s a skimpy bikini version, among others. Survivor airs Wednesdays at 8pm on CBS.
