Karin Gunatilake is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn II.
On Brains, Karin found herself at the centre of several alliances like The Coven and The Graduates, which helped her to be in control even after the tribe switch. Losing trust in her ally AJ Antonios after hiding his possession of a Hidden Immunity Idol from her, she started a season-long vendetta against him but was thwarted multiple times by his frequent last-minute vote flips. At the final nine, Karin became AJ's main target. After being tipped off by Kristin Alston, Karin decided to expose the majority's plan at Tribal Council and shift the target to Myles Kuah, but her efforts went for naught as she was still voted out.

Karin (Brains)
Doctor
With a wicked sense of humour and a love for the game, Karin is a doctor working in orthopaedic surgery. She helps surgeons do their surgery and says, "You're the dude that's holding things apart so the doctor can do the fixing."
But she's also ready to leave her doctoral instinct to help people at the door saying, "I'm here on Survivor to break bones. I don't want to put things back together. I'm not the good doctor anymore."
Admitting surgical training is pretty close to surviving when it comes to 36-hour shifts with no sleep, no food and a competitive group of doctors trying to outsmart each other, Karin knows the game and wants to make an impact.
Karin says, "I just want to do something that's different. I've had every part of my life planned for the last 30 years. Not a single thing has gone wrong, and everything I've wanted to happen has happened. And that's because I like planning, I like control, I like having everything organised in front of me. And this is so left field of anything I've ever done."
Not wanting to take a goat along to the final, Karin jokes her trust issues and resting bitch face might make her a target.
If she wins the $500,000 prize money, Karin plans to buy back her parent's property in Sri Lanka for her mum after they had to sell it to pay for her uni fees.[1]
