Dan Lembo was popular for his appearance on
Survivor: Nicaragua
Dan Lembo gained recognition as a contestant in Survivor: Nicaragua. Although he did not perform well in challenges, he was loved by his tribemates and managed to survive several Tribal Councils during the pre-merge portion of the game. He survived on the show until the final five.

Before participating in Survivor: Nicaragua, he had a successful career in real estate and was already a millionaire. He was spotted wearing expensive alligator shoes throughout the show.
