One "Survivor" contestant's rabid hunger is Applebee's good fortune.
State of play: A hangry Liz Wilcox erupted with rage during Wednesday night's episode after fellow contestant Q Burdette did not invite her to an Applebee's meal as a reward for winning a challenge.
"I'm pissed!" Liz screamed in a viral rant that "Survivor" fans are calling one of the most iconic moments in the show's 46 seasons.
Zoom in: Liz couldn't eat much on the island due to severe allergies, so she was super hungry.
She also desperately wanted to go for sentimental reasons: She regularly dines at Applebee's with her daughter.
Q refused to bring her because, he said, it wasn't good for his strategy.
💠Nathan's thought bubble: This moment was exceptional product placement for the Dine Brands-owned restaurant chain, which enjoyed several minutes of airtime where someone literally begged to eat there.
