Courtney Yates Is Extremely Thin
Category: Celebrity Bones, Misc Celebs & Diet NewsThis post was requested by several of you over the past few months…
In case you don’t know, Courtney Yates is/was one of the contestants on Survivor: China. Her emaciated frame caught the attention of many people watching the show.
Here are a couple of pictures I managed to find of her:
Some visitors on the Survivor website have debated whether or not Courtney has an eating disorder. You can see that debate here. I certainly cannot say whether or not she has anorexia, but she definitely is way too thin for good health.
What do YOU all think?
Yeah, that’s gross.
holy nasty! she either has a thyroid disorder or an eating problem, you’ve got to be demented to think that’s natural
shit!
not even the skinniest of underweight models is that skinny, of course she has an ED
Everyone loses weight on that show–she was probably a little underweight to start w/and then it just got bad!
She should have tried America’s next top model.
she doesn’t look bad in the 2nd picture but the first one is ridiculous! great, now all the pro-ana people have a new idol
The 2nd one is her before the show and the 1st one is her during the show. From what I’ve heard, she’s back to a more normal weight now that the show is over. Like said above, EVERYONE loses weight on that show and she was thin/underweight to begin with.
I’m wondering if she was like this before she went on survivor because I know that the contestants usually do lose a substantial amount of weight while on the show. Either way, the girl needs to eat something fast.
whoaaaaaaaaa
whoa thats crazy
It’s obvious that she’s alot thinner in the first picture than the second. Maybe she does have an eating disorder. But chances are, if she was that thin to begin with, her metabolism is going to speed up even more with all the exercise. And she’ll lose weight like in the first pic.
I think she looks fuckin perfect!!!
Oh my God, she looks horrible. However, I’m not one to say if she has an ED - may be she is just nat7urally skinny. It’s possible!
When I saw Courtney on this season of Survivor, I thought it was the perfect marriage of contestant and show. Who better to compete on Survivor than an anorexic? Anorexics eat almost nothing and tend to overexercise and keep themselves very busy. On the show, contestants are deprived of food and have to compete in physical challenges as well as make camp and find fresh food and water daily. No wonder she did so well! All of the contestants should be anorexic from now on! Who better to be on this show?
She was interviewed and said that no, she does not have an eating disorder, it is just genetics. She said that she lost weight on the show because they were not provided food. She said herself she looked like an alien. When food was provided she would eat. Most people do lose weight on those kind of shows.
She makes that thin healthy woman beside her look big. Thats sad.
remember back on the second season, elizabeth started losing her hair because she wasn’t eating enough on the show? Howevere jaded we are about reality TV, it seems pretty real that on survivor they really have to work for their food. It’s probably not a choice of hers, she just doesn’t get enough to eat and was already super thin before hand. The real debate should be whether it is ethical for the producers to allow their contestants to get so unhealthy and to such low weights so quickly….must get ratings, i bet.
Doesn’t everybody that lasts long enough lose weight on that show? Weight loss just shows more on people who are naturally thin.
the second picture doesn’t seem that bad-i mean, her bones are poking out or anything. the first picture, though, is a different story. i watched the show and i think that the first picture is from one of the last episodes of the season. i guess that’s understandable then, as long as she still not that sickly looking.
She was back to normal looking on the finale, which was filmed a couple months after the fact. Looked way better, fine to me.
I managed to catch ONE episode of that season and on it they could have taken part in a challenge or indulge in an “all-you-can-eat-cheeseburger buffet”.
She decided to eat. She wolfed. She’s not anorexic.
On the reunion episode she said she was 95 pounds when she started the show and that her family is naturally slim, she said her brother is the same way, but also, on the reunion episode she looked alot healthier, not nearly as many bones showing.
thats the hotness. honestly she maybe that way. geez am a seize 0 and i eat bread and pasta .
THAT’S A HOT MESS. SHE HAS NO MEAT ON HER TORSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i’D RATHER BE FAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
does anyone else think its weird that these girls go on the show for.. what is it a month?.. and they all look so pretty. Like i dont want to be gross but my legs and armpits would be so disgustingly hairy haha and my eyebrows would be disgusting.. idk does ne1 else ever thin kof that haha
Eh. She was at the finale and looked great. She gained a few more pounds than she weighed when she left for Survivor. She looks really healthy and pretty now.
I saw one interview where she said her weight went from 93, down to 86 pounds on the show, because there was not much food. The interviewer asked her if she was pregnant—she just laughed about it. Theoretically, the show could have slowed her metabolism because her body thought it was starving, and cause her to gain back the seven pounds quickly, and maybe a few more—she reportedly eats a lot. Need to find a recent picture of her taken several weeks after the show.
i read in people that she says se does not have an ed and that she has always been super thin, but she said that now when she watches the show she sees sees a skeleton with pipecleaner legs and bug eyes. luckily, now she has gained around 30 lbs. post-survivor
I really don’t think she’s anorexic. Some people just come from skinny families, and a combination of genetics and learned food & exercise habits causes them all to be thin. We saw her dad, who was skinny, and she mentioned that her brother is too. She was thin when she started the show, then was starved for months. Of course she lost weight.
She also made several comments about it during the show, and made fun of herself. As someone stated above, she ate at every opportunity she was given. And she was much heavier in the finale.
I think that some people WANT every skinny person to have an eating disorder because it makes them feel better about not being skinny. Or they just want to accuse every skinny girl of it because it is the easiest available putdown. Not everyone has an ED.
I think she looks great. I would love to look like her.
EEKK… HOMEGIRL NEEDS A HAMBURGER.
I think that she looked good on the 2nd pic.
Im from UK and i dont think we get Survivor but if everybody has to work for there food and stuff maybe she has to eat lots to stay at a healthy weight. I thought that it was anorexia at first but this makes sense also.
I agree though the producers should have allowed her to get so thin!
carrie, no offense, but you’re an idiot.
It’s interesting…if she is an anorexic, she would probably be a pretty good candidate for being on a show where you basically win if you can live without much food for a month. I went through a phase (my doctor said I was borderline anorexic) where I ate basically one meal a day and worked out for 3+ hours a day. I got really skinny and skeletal and looked like death. I wonder if Courtney is just a fairly skinny person who normally doesn’t eat a lot and then once she went on the show, she probably lost any reserve of fat she had. If you’re skinny to start with on that show, it REALLY shows fast when you lose more weight. The fat people on that show lose lots of weight too, but since they have a good reserve built up, they end up just looking sorta normal at the end.
Lol, it’s funny how people think shes aneroxic because she went to survivor, they eat a small amount of dirty rise and whatever they can find, they’re bound to loose weight.
In the reunion she actually gained weight, plus her dad was on the show for one of the challenges and hes tall and skinny. It’s all in the genes.
I don’t think she has an eating disorder. She’s just skinny. She started the show skinny and lost weight due to lack of food so she got super skinny, scary skinny, but only because there wasn’t enuf food available. She gained all the weight back and then some within the 2 or so months after the show ended and the reunion show aired.
Definetly very thin- but who am I to say she has an eating disorder?
They eat like nothing on that show, except win they win rewards, and she was skinny in the beggining, but she looked WAY skinnier towards the end, so I would like to see what she looked like now that the filiming has ended.
Wow, “no offense” but I’m an idiot? What a mean thing to say! I was totally joking about the anorexia thing, which I thought would be obvious because it’s hyperbolic and therefore it can’t possibly be serious. I don’t understand people like you who enjoy being mean because you can do it anonymously.
As usual I agree with Andrea. There are plenty of naturally thin people out there. If I went on a show like this, I’d end up looking like death too since I’m super skinny to begin with. But, I’d never do one of these shows, not even for the lure of a million dollars, I couldn’t go through what these people put themselves through. I don’t know how they do it. Several people on the Survivor debate board claimed that they’d known her, and that she’s naturally thin, and since she has apparently put her weight back on since the show ended, she wouldn’t be anorexic. People, please don’t always assume that thin, even super thin people are eating disordered, it is VERY annoying.
dont all surviver contestants lose weight cause they just eat rice. I dont watch the show, but she probably started off real thin and has gotten thinner, if thats the case she probably doesnt have an eating disorder
Yeah Andrea, I was thinking the same thing. I’ve been torn about this issue for a while know. Because YES, the girl looks like your “typical” anorexic but at the same time you never know about a person’s genes and natural state. So many ways to try to speculate this one. If she’s sick in fact, I hope she recognizes in time. If not? Then I guess she simply wasn’t smart to put herself in the situation to lose more weight when she was obviously thin enough to begin with.
Spectra- this will come out wrong but it doesn’t matter cause I’m giving up this place as a resolution to the new year. It’s nice to hear you finally admit to your issues because I have suspected them for a long time now. Be good to yourself girl. You put your body through way too much than it should endure (I’ve been on featherish). Just take care, okay?..
I wish you all well..
Karma
I just saw a recent interview with her and she was really thin, but had obviously gained weight. She is a really petite girl to begin with so even a small amount of weight loss will show up much more on her. I don’t think she is, or she would have stayed that way…
some of the bigger people on Survivor loose like 40 pounds, this girl looks like she was thin to start with so loosing some weight makes her really skinny. I am sure she will gain it back, they do every year
Karma, I’ll miss you!
I tend to think people in general look better when they are more athletic and fit than super skinny, but she actually doesn’t look bad that skinny, which makes me think it is natural for her to be thin.
She looks much better when she is thin, She was to heavy at the final show.
She’s just so…small. Her waist and that other girl’s thighs can’t be off by more than a couple inches.
I don’t have an opinion as to whether she is or isn’t, but I wonder if it could actually be good mentally for an anorexic to be in a situation of actual deprivation (not self-imposed). Or maybe they’d just shrivel up and die, who knows..
That guy in the picture, Todd, was SO manorexic! You can’t really tell in that picture, but he was just as skinny as her.
I wish I was that skinny!! totally hot!!
okay, i won’t do it anonymously.
you obviously don’t know the first thing about anorexia so don’t joke about it. you’re not funny anyway.
*for carrie.
all the contestants loose weight during the show coz of the lack of food. but they gain it all back after.
I read that same interview where she mentioned that her weight went from 93, down to 86 pounds on the show. It is possible to be healthy at 5′7″ and 93 pounds. The first photo does give the appearance that her weight loss was more than 7 pounds. I am curious about her waist size at 86 pounds. She has indicated that she has a 23 inch waist at 93 pounds. I wonder what the waist size is at 86 pounds. Like most people mentioned, you are guaranteed to lose weight if you are on survivor for over 30 days. Is she anorexic? it is very well possible that she is not anorexic.
She looks great, not too skinny. Want to look like her.
…sick @.@
She doesn’t look that skinny on the second picture…maybe it’s natural for her to be so thin.
holy ****!!!!!!!!!!! that’s nasty and ridiculous and whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
If she gained weight back after Survivor, she’s probably not anorexic. She probably just lost that much weight from being on the show, because everyone on that show loses weight, as a lot of people have said before me!! I saw her on the show a few weeks ago though and I remember thinking to myself that she had lost too much weight and was it healthy for them to let her continue with the game?! I didn’t think of anorexia though, just thought it was the living conditions on that show.
In the second picture she looks fine to me.Just thin,but in the first she looks very unhealthy.The one thing that realy anoys me about what some of yall are saying is stuff like’She clearly has an Eating Disorder’,and yall do not know that for a fact.Like one person said she could have a Thyriod Problem,Which is very true because my sister had one and got that thin or thinner.I know the chances of one are rare but she could even have some other type of health condition.This is all just my opinion though.I’m not saying that she doesn’t have an Eating Disorder ,but i’m saying that we don’t know!
look at her legs in the first picture…most anorexics have really skinny legs…but she doesnt. I think shes naturally skinny and its just genetics. Her face is gorgeous.
it really is just this: she started as a thin girl, she lost weight like everyone else but with her being tiny to begin with it just looked way to thin. emancipated? yes. they dont have proper noureshment on survivor. sorry to the people who think/want it to be something else…
“Emancipated?”
How does lack of food acount for her severing of ties with her family?
if only i could look like that……i’m jealous
Does anybody know her height ? She looks so tall in the first picture, and if she was 5´7´,85 pouns would be a dangerous weight for her .
hello people…she was on survivor. you are bound to lose a significant amount of weight. if you compare the two pictures, you can obviously tell that she was at a more healthy weight before coming on the show.
I don’t think she has an eating disorder. She clearly lost the weight on survivor, all the contestants lose weight in their struggle on the show. She was probably thin to begin with. She looks like the average supermodel, but Ive seen worse.
She does seem to have a very small frame… but, she still looks pretty skeletal. People saying they want to look like her might be a little deranged. That look is normal and healthy for very few people. Pretty impossible to judge if it’s relatively normal for her.
She looks great in the second picture, feckin scary in the first.
Ok, some people are just naturally skinny, but SO skinny?! Is it possible…?
I don’t like the way she looks, she’s scary…
And I know that all the contestants lose weight in their struggle on the show, but damn…
okay so she might have had an ED before the show started. and she was really skinny before, but i dont think she had an ED on the show. pretty much every one on survivor looses weight bc they really dont have much food. so she just got scary skinny on the show bc she didnt eat much like everyone else, not bc she had an ED on the show..
I doubt she’s anorexic. An anorexic would not have been able to cope well psychologically on survivor. I watched bits and pieces of this season and she seemed to cope quite well.
I’ve noticed that many people on survivor have lost weight. Although it is a reality TV show, these people dont have gourmet meals, they’re eating very little and doing daily physical activity and challenges so its very explainable for a girl who is already thin to be very scary and emaciated looking.
scary skinny but prob. it’s only the show,not an ED..
I’d hurt her if I did her!!
Oh come on people…she was under a hundred pounds before the show…at 5′7? Sure, sure,obviously people loose weight and tone up on the show, but come on, she was an anorexic stick before she went on the show. Everyone says Tara Reid looks anorexic at whatever her height is and what 105…come on…this girl has an eating disorder..she looks gross.
she is so ugly it doesn’t matter
I think she’s gorgeous!
The first pic made me gasp - she is incredibly thin! But in the second one she clearly looks very happy and healthy - there’s none of that anorexic sadness in her eyes. Obviously she is thinner than your average slim woman but that doesn’t mean she has an eating disorder - I had a friend at school who was always this thin but that was just the way she was! The same as some people are naturally chubby (yes, it’s true!)
She doesn’t have any bones sticking out, she just has a small frame.
She looks just fine and being on a competitive show will make you loose weight. All you haters are probably fat and angry.
That first pic of her is so hot. i love when hot girls lose a bunch of weight like her. i would do anything she wanted, as long as she stayed that skinny.
you wouldnt hurt her Cossey, she could take anything you could possibly dish out. if you ever looked at any adult videos you would notice that the skeleton girls can take all the huge meat that any african male can hand out. I’ve seen them practically hanging from those huge mens’ appendages.. and the skinnies are sometimes bulimic, you know what goes on with bulimics gag reflex, they practically have none. so do the math.
skinny babes like her RULE!!
@looker:
I’m sure in your presence she’d be able to do nothing but vomit, so she should no problem keeping that figure for you.
Ive actually been watching this show from the start and the second picture is of her at the start of the show (promo picture before it even started) and the first picture is nearing the end of the series - so you can see she has lost ALOT of weight but wouldnt you if you were in the jungle with barely anything to eat and doing alot of physical work (such as the challenges, building their home, etc) . Anyways when she does win a challenge and the prize is food you see her chowng down like crazy … as you would when youre stuck eating bugs and fish !!
i think her body looks good but her face is fug.
I don’t know if she is anorexic but she is too thin for my liking.
So many young women just don’t think when it comes to being fashionably thin; they jeopardise their health and their fertility all for the sake of being thin. So so stupid if you ask me.
you know what goes on with bulimics gag reflex, they practically have none. so do the math.
So sadly true! Or is this a good thing…hmmm…
UH DUH!!!! Maybe she’s not anorexic - maybe it’s because she’s on a show about survival and she can’t get any food! Hello! People are kind of stupid sometimes. I’m so sure she’s anorexic.
They seriously need to pick meatier girls to start off, because the thin ones just waste away like this girl.
it’s possible it’s natural, who knows? i just remember watching one episode (i’ve seen all of say 4) of that season) and she was having a LOT of trouble just lifting the axe during a challenge.
That first pic of her is so hot
ABSOULTELY, she is sick
I think she looks perfect in the first picture.
Okay… In the first pic she’s standing next to that other already skinny person. There’s no question she’s underweight, but since we’re talking of survivors, it can’t really be compared to normal.
In the second she seems a lot more better, though I don’t think she’s beautiful, yet. Needs more meat, needs more curves. She’s hiding her other hand and the other you can’t see… She looks like you touch her, and she breaks into million pieces. That’s horrible.
Her stomach is rejecting her body…..caving in from not eating GROSS
She’s on fucking Survivor. What the hell do you expect? The same thing happened to Elizabeth Hasslebeck or whatever her name is.
Naturally thin, it shows.
First if she was anorexic she wouldn’t have gain the weigh back that easily and laught at it ….
her dad is skinny, she was skinny ti begin with, she ate when she could.
and if she was anorexic she wouldn’t have lost that much. her body would been already use to starvation and hard working out ….her metabolism wouldn’t been shocked by the difference… she would’ve lost little or nothing … but she lost a lot!!…. wich shows she’s not use to that behavior …. plus you can se it in her face, legs, skin, heigh, shape, everything… some of her bones are poking out but a normal person who would go down that much weightwise would look very very sickly dry skin,hair..bones all over the place …
i have a frined who isn’ aorexic and she’s thinner than her in the first pic …and she eats EVERYTHING and loads of it … and she looks cute becouz she’s that way. Me im thin but i work hard for it so my bones poke out weirdly and sometimes my hair and skin get very dry.
Oh my god, I wanna marry her!
Is it wrong that I think she looks good?
the show is crap though…
beautiful…
she’s beautifull wowoowoww
my jaw literally DROPPED when i saw this picture of this girl..
no its not wrong tinky-minks. I couldnt be on that show with her around, i’d be like a male dog going after a female dog in heat. i love that first pic of her, she is sooo gorgeous. its an extreme turn-on.
