Jon Dalton: “I’m easily one of the top three most recognizable reality stars ever”

Jon Dalton, formerly of Survivor Pearl Islands fame, and now of Kill Reality fame, says he’s pretty famous. Very famous, in fact. “I’m easily one of the top three most recognizable reality stars ever,” he says.

Perhaps to make him the most recognizable reality star ever, elbowing past–who? Trishelle? Richard Hatch? that guy who was on the show and did that thing?–he and his alter ego have joined the cast of E!’s Kill Reality.

He says that on Kill Reality, “An underlying theme of the show — I don’t know if it was intentional, but I know it wasn’t intentional going into it — is the duality of Jonny Fairplay and Jon Dalton. I think a lot of people are going to be shocked by the heart that Jon Dalton has.”

Those people who will be the most shocked will be medical professionals, who will be surprised to learn that a maggot-infested, blackened, evil heart can keep a person alive.
