Yasmin Giles is nicknamed “Sassy Yassy” and is ready to show everybody how she got this moniker. An opinionated motor mouth from the Motor City, she always speaks her mind.

Growing up in Detroit, Yasmin claims her life experiences have prepared her for anything that comes her way. She is aware that her know-it-all attitude can rub people the wrong way, but she doesn’t care. “If you’re going to give it to somebody straight, real and raw, then a big mouth doesn’t matter, because they are going to think about what I said and realize Yasmin was right!”

Yasmin believes that once you get past her constant chatter, she is likeable, funny and quick-witted. In addition, working in a beauty salon has helped her learn how to hustle because she is constantly competing with the other employees for new clientele in order to earn a living. While she may look feminine, Yasmin insists she’s a tomboy at heart.

A firm believer in the mantra “winners never quit and quitters never win,” Yasmin claims she's a winner and she'll never quit SURVIVOR. “I want to do this and I want to take it all the way.”

Yasmin is single and currently resides in Los Angeles, Calif.

Survivor: Samoa
Yasmin was picked by tribe leader Russell Swan as the "agile player", and she proved that she was quick during the first challenge, though they didn't win due to Liz Kim beating Shambo Waters in the puzzle and final part of the challenge. Yasmin had a fiery attitude the whole time she was on the beach, especially shown during a very physical challenge when she got smacked around by Foa Foa member Ben Browning. When Galu won, she was picked to go with Foa Foa back to their camp and observe them during tribal council. While at Foa Foa's camp, she got into a very heated argument about cheap shots with Ben. Russell Hantz also said he wouldn't show her any respect. Once she returned to Galu, Ben had issues with Foa Foa. After one more immunity win, Galu lost their first immunity challenge. Yasmin had been annoying the whole tribe, and they decided it was her time to go. She thought it was Monica going home, but she left. She was the first Galu member to go home.
