Profile
Name (Age): Kourtney Moon (29) Tribe Designation: Salani Current Residence: Austin, Texas Occupation: Motorcycle Repair Personal Claim to Fame: Easy - I grew a person inside my body, squeezed him out of a tiny orifice and managed not to completely bomb at parenting (so far). He’s actually the neatest person I know. Unrelated to making human beings, I would have to say honestly, maintaining my sanity through the mental and emotional torture I have endured in just the past few years. Inspiration in Life: LIFE inspiration? I'd have to say there is no More... particular person. There are many individuals who have taught me valuable lessons, whether they meant to or not, and whether they had good intentions or not. People who seek to truly be altruistic are huge inspirations for me. Hobbies: Doing just about anything with my son, motorcycles, knitting, cocktails and night time bike rides. Pet Peeves: I’ve had bad, bad experiences with people who have low moral codes. I just have NO patience for hypocrisy and folks who regularly enjoy the smell of their own farts. Lack of respect for monogamy is a huge pet peeve of mine, as well as people who chew others and spit them out simply because they can... basically, sociopaths and narcissists. 3 Words to Describe You: Creative, scatter-brained and impulsive. SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Jud and Courtney because they reacted or handled situations the way I probably would have. They appeared to be very genuine characters, knew what their attributes were and accepted their short-comings. They also seemed to maintain their sanity when things got rough. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I NEED the money and want the experience. Traveling, meeting new people, opening new doors, getting the hell out of the Austin bubble for a little while… I severely need a drastic change in my life, preferably one that won't kill me. I think I’m going to walk away from this permanently changed…but for the better. Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR:  I have great diplomatic skills and I’m a good mediator. I often see a person’s positive side over the negative, which makes me very forgiving and accepting. I have no problem leading, following, or getting out of the way when appropriate. Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Because nothing in this world makes any sense whatsoever and anything really IS possible.

Survivor: One World
"salani"

- People do judge me because of my tattoos, but if I worried about what people thought of me, I wouldn't get out of bed in the morning.

During her short time in Survivor: One World, Kourtney stated that her quirky demeanor would fit "nowhere", which reflected after being shunned by a budding five-person alliance made by Alicia Rosa, Kim Spradlin, Sabrina Thompson, Chelsea Meissner, and Kat Edorsson. Despite this, she proved to be an invaluable member of Salani, tirelessly making frond roofs for both Manono and Salani tribes and slaughtering a chicken when nobody was willing to do it.

At the first Immunity Challenge, which required jumping from an elevated platform to a net, Jeff Probst instructed to keep their hands on their chest. Kourtney injured her hand, seeking medical attention. The challenge, however required nine members, but because of Kourtney's absence, the rival Manono tribe was given a choice to continue to run the challenge, albeit Salani's handicap of having one member short. Manono decided to take the unfinished challenge as a win, sending Salani tribe to their first Tribal Council. While her tribemates are back at camp strategizing, Kourtney was being attended by the Survivor Medical Team. Kourtney never came back, because at Tribal Council, it was revealed that her hand had several fractures which required surgery, thus eliminating herself from the competition; and because of her removal, Salani did not need to vote.

Voting History
Because she was medivaced before the first Tribal Council, Kourtney did not have a voting history.

Post-Survivor
In her exit interviews, Kourtney revealed that she had a "grapefruit-sized" tumor in her abdomen which was potentially cancerous. Her in-game fracture however, was still undergoing therapy then. This is what she had to say about her health:
