Name (Age): Craig I'Anson (32) Tribe Designation: Current Residence: Brisbane, Queensland Occupation: Recruitment Officer

Fit, strong and engaging, Craig calls a spade a spade. He loves nothing more than running faster and lifting more weights than his “macho” mates.

A senior recruitment officer for Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, Craig has been dreaming of being a Survivor castaway for many years. “Survivor has been an obsession and a passion of mine for 16 years. I love the tribal aspect of the show and I love the extremities you need to endure and test yourself against.”

Craig has his own story of survival.

Following an accident in 2012, he was burned in a fire. With burns to 35% of his body, doctors told him he may never be able to go out in the sun again.

He proved them wrong after a few months.

Craig says: “I was burnt in a fire and spent 16 days in hospital. I had to rehabilitate myself and it was a very dark time but I learned how strong I really was. I learnt the lesson in life that no matter how dark and low times are, there is always a light.”

Leaving behind his two “fur babies”, that is, his dogs, Craig has also given up a massive European holiday with partner Tom to be on Australian Survivor. He does not regret his decision and says: “We will go on an even better holiday when I’ve won half a million dollars!”

When he’s not planning Survivor domination, Craig loves to play Pokémon, do martial arts and watch good movies.
