Profile
Retrieved from CBS.com

Name (Age): Kim Spradlin (29)

Tribe Designation: Salani, Tikiano

Current Residence: San Antonio, Texas

Occupation: Bridal Shop Owner

Personal Claim to Fame: Always being up for adventure! Opening my own business at age 26, working as a whitewater rafting guide, living at an orphanage in Thailand… Oh! And I can figure out what animal a person would be within five minutes of meeting them.

Inspiration in Life: My dad. He has this amazing way about him that draws people to him. He makes everything feel special - vacations, movies, lunch at Subway, me. He is never afraid and funny as hell. He gives the most amazing and perfectly timed pep talks!

Hobbies: Sand volleyball, reading and hanging out with really cool people.

Pet Peeves: Speed bumps, corny humor, people who honk to reprimand rather than as a warning, and really bad bridesmaid dresses (there’s no reason for that, really).

3 Words to Describe You: Passionate, warm and clever.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Probably Stephenie LaGrossa from Palau, because she’s a badass (total honey badger). Also, Elisabeth Hasselbeck because she was friendly but competitive and Amanda because she is tall.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Truly for the thrill of it! Stepping away from the comfort of my little world and challenging myself. Proving I can do as well at this game as I’ve always thought I could.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: My mental toughness, wicked throwing arm (for a girl), and people sometimes underestimate my sneakiness.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I believe in treating all people with respect and honor. Why would you vote off someone who respects you?

Survivor: One World
Kim could be considered to have played an under the radar game since day one but caught the attention of Alicia during the treck to the girl's camp since she proved herself as a strong player which forged her into Alicia's alliance along with Chelsea, Kat and Sabrina.

She kept her position in Salani during the tribe switch and formed another alliance with Chelsea, Jay and Troyzan and increased her position in the game by finding a hidden immunity idol after realizing that Sabrina found one on the beach that wasn't for her tribe.

After Colton's evacuation on Day 16, the 2 tribes were asked to both go to tribal council and were surprised to find out that they were officially merged which left everybody wondering whether the game was men vs. women or Salani vs. Manono

The 12-man merged tribe came together and decided to name themselved "Tikiano". Kim's alliance decided that it was best to keep it Salani vs. Manono but let it seem that it was men vs. women so that nobody would know about the 4-man alliance. They decided to vote out Jonas who seemed to be the biggest threat from the Manono tribe making him the 1st Member of the Jury.

With the men down one member, Troyzan and Jay decided that they needed to play it safe and vote out a girl to make sure that its really Salani vs Manono rather than men vs women. During the reward challenge, they were divided via schoolyard pick with the reward being a trip to the 7-up oasis which Kim won along with Sabrina, Christina, Leif and Michael. Kim and Sabrina got a chance to talk and decided that they would keep it Men vs Women and have it Kim, Sabrina and Chelsea to the end. This is where Kim plotted to convince Troyzan that Michael was planting seeds in people's heads that Troyzan should be the next person to go which he quickly believed but Chelsea nearly ruined the plan when she told it to Jay in front of Alicia and Christina which made Jay suspicious about their actions so he confronted Michael in the woods but immedietly before they were about to find out Kim's plan, Kim showed up and assured them that they would all vote for Christina and that it was deffinitly Salani vs Manono which was enough to convince Jay and Michael to stop plotting. But during tribal council Michael recieved 7 votes from Kim, Chelsea, Sabrina, Kat, Leif, Troyzan and Jay which means that Jay and Troyzan believed Kim's story and chose to eliminate Michael.
