Shane Powers

Shane Powers
Shane Powers was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. After finishing high school, Powers moved to Los Angeles.

In 1999, Powers and two business partners established a boutique specialty marketing company with the goal of effectively branding products. On the side, Powers makes time to coach his son's football team. Previous employment included work as a club promoter and restaurant manager.

Powers describes himself as witty, outgoing and funny. His most important accomplishment, still in progress, is raising his son. His hobbies include basketball, softball, writing and frequenting bookstores.

Powers believes he can be the Sole Survivor because of his unmatched communication skills. He believes he is also a physical threat and has the ability to manipulate people and not have them be resentful. If he wins, he wants to buy some real equipment and a great field for his son's football team.

Powers currently resides in Los Angeles under the watchful eye of his son, Boston. His birth date is November 28, 1970.

Exile Island
Shane Powers began the game Survivor on the La Mina tribe. This season was the first season with four tribes comepting against each other and were segregated by age: Older Men, Younger Men, Older Women, Younger Women. Shane's tribemates included Karate-Instructor Bruce, Fighter-Pilot Terry, and Retired NASA Astronaut Dan. Right off the bat he didn't fit in but he pulled his weight around camp. On Day 4 after the first tribal council, the four tribes merged into two and Shane became a member of the Casaya tribe. His lack of cigarettes began to take a toll on him, resulting in several outbursts and colorful rants. Casaya dominated the challenges and only lost Bobby Mason in the second before last tribal council before the merge.

Casaya and La Mina tribes merged with Casaya having the numbers six to four. Shane lead the Casaya alliance and voted out Nick, Austin, and Sally. Bruce was sent home due to nonmoving bowels. Shane began to lose it a little during the Final 6, getting upset over challenges, confronting Cirie Feilds about being under-the-radar, and even adopting a peice of wood that he called his "Blackberry".

In his final three days on the island, Terry the last of the La Mina tribe (Who at the time was going on a monumental challenge streak), won the Family Reward Visit and granted Shane an overnight stay with his son. During this time Shane got to appreciate his life and surroundings a whole lot more and the audience at home was able to see the not-so-pyschotic side of Shane and began to love him. Shane made the Final Five and was voted out in a 3-1-1 vote with Danielle and Aras both receiving 1 vote.
