Geoffrey Cooke-Tonnesen

Geoffrey Cooke-Tonnesen is a contestant from Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets.

Professing his eagerness to play the villain, Geoffrey balanced his solid social game with a frenetic approach to the game. He was unafraid to start fights, most notably with Meryl Szolkeiwicz and Danté De Villiers, to create strategic fractures. Entering the merge, Geoffrey found himself having burned too many bridges with his strategic decisions, but remained firm in his resolve against working with Danté and Meryl. Despite Danté offering Geoffrey an olive branch at the final twelve, Geoffrey once again turned his back on Danté, but found himself blindsided by Rob Bentele's majority alliance instead.

Surname: Cooke-Tonnesen
Age: 33
Occupation: Home loans Consultant
From: Colenso, KZN

Geoffrey is married with children and works as a home loans consultant. And that's where normality ends in Geoffrey's world. In his own words, he's a quirky goofball who has the tendency to gossip like a school girl. To that he adds that he is a shameless manipulator who has been called a "he-bitch" more than once. Yet, this tenacious lover of whatever causes drama knows just what to say to butter people up and make them love him. Yes, he is sneaky and conniving and doesn't really care what people think about him – as long as he does what is needed to win Survivor. Not so long ago risk-taker Geoffrey won a national body transformation challenge, losing 30 kg in just three months. Then he ran the Comrades marathon after training for only six months. Anything is possible when you're Geoffrey from Colenso in KZN.^[1]
