Kiper is first 'Survivor' hero sent home

[February 12, 2010]  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jessica "Sugar" Kiper was too sweet for "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains."

The emotional 29-year-old pinup model originally from Baton Rouge, La., was the first castaway voted off the CBS reality show's 20th season, which features veteran players.

Kiper's friendly nighttime yapping annoyed her fellow "heroes," who quickly targeted her after she failed to help her tribe win the first immunity challenge by putting together a puzzle.

Kiper previously competed on "Survivor: Gabon," the show's 17th season.
