How would you describe yourself? Always smiling and laughing. Unless I’m hungry, then I’m always angry.

Why are you doing Survivor? I don’t have glamorous dresses so I had to pass on The Bachelor – well, that and I’m married…but more the dress thing. Plus, I was due for an adventure.

What did you do to prepare? I went to FastFit boot camps four times a week to get my butt kicked! I also asked my father-in-law to teach me how to start a fire. After a long day of failed attempts trying Man Vs Wild tricks, I just used a lighter. I still have trust issues with Bear Grylls.

What are your pet peeves? Whiny people and buzz killers. There’s nothing worse than when you’re having a good time and someone kills your buzz. As a teenager, I remember I stayed late at a friend’s house and didn’t tell my parents then I got a “you’re in trouble…” text from my sister. That was the worst.

What’s your strategy? Love everyone, trust no one.
