Profile
Name (Age): Missy Payne (47)

Tribe Designation: Hunahpu

Relationship to Significant Castaway: Baylor’s mother

Current Residence: Dallas, TX

Occupation: Owner of a Competitive Cheerleading Gym

Personal Claim to Fame: My business is a HUGE accomplishment. I was never a cheerleader, never had taken out a loan before 1998 when I opened the doors and certainly had no idea what it would take to be “on” 24×7 with really no “off” hours. I have a new respect for restaurant owners because my business takes blood, sweat, and tears just like that profession.

Pet Peeves: People who conform to a standard without knowing the facts, people who play the victim, snoring, poor hygiene, bad teeth, infidelity, valet parking in the Highland Park village.

Reason for Being on “Survivor”: Experience a once in a lifetime opportunity with Baylor and to win the million dollars!

Why You Think You’ll Survive “Survivor”: I’ll bring compassion, determination, leadership, respect, athleticism, sense of humor, the ability to dispute resolution and analyzation.

What Does It Mean to You to Play “Survivor” with Your Loved One? Playing the game with Baylor whether we are on the same tribe or not will be an unforgettable experience due to our duo determination, competitive edge, and ability to never give up. We are a dynamic duo and have a lasting positive effect on people who we come in contact with. Together, we can accomplish anything and usually succeed at any challenge set in front of us.
