Tony Vlachos is a contestant from.

Profile
Name (Age): Tony Vlachos (39)

Tribe Designation: Aparri

Current Residence: Jersey City, N.J.

Occupation: Police Officer

Personal Claim to Fame: Becoming a Jersey City police officer.

Inspiration in Life: My father for being the dad that he was. He was a great role model and I hope that I can be the same for my children.

Hobbies: Jet skiing, playing pool and surfing the web.

Pet Peeves: Thugs who wear skinny jeans. Also, people who see me speaking on the phone, but yet they feel the need to start a conversation with me. Like it’s that urgent for them to know "how's it going" while I'm speaking on the phone. SO RUDE!!!

3 Words to Describe You: Versatile, clever and competitive.

'''If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? '''Cigarettes, coffee and liquor. I don’t smoke or drink coffee or liquor, but I would love to bring those items with me just so that I can barter with my tribemates! You know at some point in the game they would even give up immunity just to have a little taste of these items.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Russell Hantz, because I can be just as devious. Boston Rob, because I can be just as slick.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: My main reason: The MILLION DOLLARS of course. There's no way I would be going out there for half that prize! Secondly, I’m a huge fan of the show and I would love to give the fans a great season to be remembered.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: Adapt and overcome! That’s the kind of training I have as a cop and that’s exactly what I’m going to do on that island! Adapt and I will overcome!

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I have been a street cop for 12 years. My experiences as a cop give me a huge advantage going into this game. Being outside my element is my forte. That's what I do for a living. What’s going to be normal for me will be very stressful for the average castaway.

'''Do You Consider Yourself a Brain, a Beauty or a Brawn? '''Sounds like a trick question. We'll let’s see. I'm a beautiful person that has a sharp brain and strong muscles. Based on appearance, I would consider myself "Brawn." For the purposes of Survivor though, I would consider myself "Brains." Maybe I wasn't the smartest in school, but I was always the sharpest!!!

'''Who Do You Think Has the Best Chance in the Game of Survivor: Brains, Beauty or Brawn? '''Survivor is definitely a game of all-around strategy. Brawn and beauty can fight over silver, but Brains would surely bring home the gold!
