Her body measurements are estimated to be 36-25-36, showcasing a well-proportioned silhouette that has captivated fans and followers alike.

Family, Dating & Relationship Status

As of 2025, Parvati is in a committed relationship with John Fincher, who is also a former contestant on Survivor, having competed in Survivor: Samoa (2009). The couple has been together for several years and often shares glimpses of their life together through social media. Born in a supportive family environment, Shallow has remained close to her parents, who have always encouraged her ambitions in both personal and professional arenas.

Shallow returned as a "Favorite" and part of the Malakal tribe. She formed a close bond with James Clement and the two formed an alliance with another couple consisting of Amanda Kimmel and Ozzy Lusth.

After their tribe lost the first Immunity Challenge, they tried swinging Jonny Fairplay over to their side to gain a majority over the alliance of Yau-Man Chan, Ami Cusack, Eliza Orlins, and Jonathan Penner. However, Fairplay was voted out instead as per his wishes, since he was aching to return home to his pregnant girlfriend.

Shallow then made a pact with Cirie Fields to go all the way to the Final Three with Kimmel. After losing the third Immunity Challenge, Shallow was targeted by the opposing alliance, but her own alliance (now with Fields) succeeded in voting off strategic threat Chan.

Net Worth and Salary

Parvati Shallow's net worth in 2025 is estimated to be around $5 million. This impressive figure is attributed to her successful television career, various endorsement deals, and entrepreneurial ventures. Her earnings from her time on Survivor and subsequent appearances in television, alongside her business engagements, have contributed significantly to her wealth.

Career, Business and Investments

Following her success on Survivor, Parvati has ventured into various avenues, such as podcasting and entrepreneurship. She has hosted a popular podcast that discusses reality television and motivational speaking. Additionally, Shallow has invested in health and wellness startups, reflecting her passion for fitness and wellbeing. Always looking to expand her brand, she has collaborated with fitness and lifestyle brands, solidifying her status as a versatile entrepreneur.

At the merge, Shallow found herself in a good position as she was allied with six (Jones, Kimmel, Fields, Bolton, Lusth, Clement) of the nine people left.

During the tenth Immunity Challenge, Shallow convinced Jason Siska to step down from the challenge so that she could win Immunity, which worked (under the condition that the tribe would not vote off Siska). However, her "Couples Alliance" decided to go back on their word and they targeted Siska.

However, Fields saw this as an opportunity to blindside physical threat Lusth instead, and she needed Shallow's help for it to work. Shallow agreed to this and recruited her Airai female allies Bolton and Jones to the plan, and Lusth was voted off 5–4.

Afterward, Shallow found herself in a failed attempt to patch things up with Clement and Kimmel (who kept her distrust to herself). The five remaining women then formed an alliance to vote off the men, starting with Siska. However, when Clement was evacuated and Erik Reichenbach won Immunity, they were forced to vote off one of their own.

Kimmel was the intended target, a plan of which Shallow did not want any part. So she helped Kimmel find the Hidden Immunity Idol (which was buried under the tribal flag) and together, they voted off possible jury threat Jones.

Social Network

Parvati Shallow is highly active on social media platforms, particularly Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, where she engages with her fanbase and shares insights into her life, career, and personal growth. With over 500,000 followers on Instagram, she utilizes her platform to spread positivity, advocate for health, and inspire others through her journey.

On day 25, the Heroes and Villains merged into Yin Yang and went to live at the old Heroes camp. Shallow and Hantz came up with this story that they both played their idol, negating all votes, and that in the re-vote, they eliminated Courtney Yates. The new tribe quickly alienated Shallow, making her swear to get revenge on all of the Heroes.

For the immunity challenge on day 27, she and DiLorenzo were the last two remaining. Shallow decided to concede immunity, because she already had one idol. Before Tribal Council, Hantz gave her his idol, as well. She then went and talked to Kimmel, who warned that Shallow should play the idol for herself.

But at Tribal Council, Shallow, not trusting Kimmel's warning, played both idols on Sandra Diaz-Twine and Manthey, sending Thomas home in a 5–0 vote.

Education

Parvati attended the University of Miami, where she earned her degree in Journalism. This educational background has undoubtedly influenced her communication skills and contributed to her success in the realm of televised media.


Shallow gained the nickname "Black Widow" due to her strategic gameplay on Survivor, particularly her usage of flirtation to subtly control the game. The nickname followed her other reality show appearances, including The Traitors 2 and Deal or No Deal Island.

Beyond embracing it for television, Shallow has used the moniker in her role as a life coach—notably in her course How Villains are Made, which focuses on personal empowerment topics. She is also the author of Nice Girls Don't Win, which is both a book and a podcast.
