LISA WHELCHEL was voted by fans Player of the Season on “Survivor: Philippines,” and her luck held out when she dodged death while making a big move to Hollywood to relaunch her acting career.
The 49-year-old mother of three recently loaded up a moving truck for the trek from her home in Texas to California, but she didn’t get very far. At her very first stop for gas, Lisa discovered a leak that could have blown her sky-high!
The truck’s fuel line had been cut, and as she started to fill up the tank, gas gushed out. A stray spark could have ignited the whole thing and sent the “Survivor” finalist up in a ball of flames.
In fact, the local fire department had to be called to get the situation under control.
“Apparently, someone cut our fuel line and tried to siphon out our gas,” the former “Facts of Life” star posted on her Twitter feed.
