David Goodchild

David Goodchild (also known as "Juicy Dave") is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Blood v Water.

After losing his daughter on Day 5, David had a strategic meltdown that turned his Blood tribe against him and forced him to prematurely play his Hidden Immunity Idol. Despite his early gaffe, David managed to insulate himself all the way into the late merge, where he flipped on the majority alliance. Although he was able to find new allies, the resulting fracturing of the Lava tribe caused him to be eliminated at the final seven following Mark Wales' idol play.

David, 51, Project Manager, Queensland

Briana is competing for the title of Sole Survivor alongside her father, David. Briana says her dad is the skull crusher – the guy who is going to lay down the law while she is the entertainer and social butterfly.
As a Project Manager at a construction firm, David knows himself to be very strategic. He believes in getting the lay of the land, being flexible and making tough ruthless calls when need be.
Survivor is Briana's dream, but one David is more than happy to follow saying: "I've been vortexed into this dream and I'm pumped. We're gonna smash it because our relationship together is strong. We're both ambitious, both fierce."
What food/indulgence will you miss the most?
Good hearty red wine and aged soft cheese, coffee and almond croissants. Indulgence missed – massage, hot shower, face and body scrub.
What's one thing people won't expect from you?
No one will expect the ruthlessness. I'm a good guy but I hate disloyalty and losing.^[1]

Notes: ^1 This challenge was played for individual immunity at each tribe's next Tribal Council. ^2 David drew the odd-colored rock and had to sit out of the challenge, but if he guessed the winning team correctly, he would win reward as well. David guessed incorrectly.
