Off the top of my head, I'd guess it's probably John Cochran (aka Gumby) who won Survivor.

The season he won (Survivor Caramoan) averaged about 9-10 million US Nielsen viewers. While GAF obviously has people working in the gaming industry, I don't think any of them would be as recognized by the general public.

I could be wrong though, is there anybody more famous who originated from GAF?

Who's that football player that posts in NFL-GAF? Jared Allan? Doubt he'd be known by more than above average football fans, even though he's a 5 time Pro Bowler

Chris Kluwe

Gumby, Gary Whitta, or Faithless (Heather Anne Campbell), likely. I don't know of anyone else involved heavily in film/TV, which destroys gaming (in terms of fame) by an order of magnitude.

Edit: We have an NFL player post on GAF?!

Never heard of anyone mentioned so far except Gary Whitta so I am going to go with him.

A long time ago:

Wow, he's one of my all-time favorite Survivors. He must've been like 15 when he posted all that.

Ya, he was. Pretty stupid to judge him by it.

I figured he was a kid when I saw the year was 2003. Pretty sure he's around 25 now. seemed like a really good guy on Survivor and whenever I've seen him interviewed.

John Cochrane is pretty much the only one who started on GAF before becoming famous.

 

[Archaix]

Had no idea Gumby was on Survivor. Twice? Who knew. Apparently you miss these things when you don't watch reality TV.

 

[t-storm]

I don't think the average person from the general public would have any idea who Gary Whitta is. It's only GAF that makes a big deal out of it.

So John Cochrane is more likely.

Ppl hold eternal grudges for the smallest and stupidest things here. I remember last year Christian bale visited the victims of the movie shooting. Some people actually said "so what? He will always be a jerk for going on that rant"

Chris Kluwe wins, then, at least for another couple of years (he's not playing right now, right?)

Not only an NFL player, but a pretty outspoken activist in many aspects.
