Kevin Leung is a contestant from Survivor 48.
Despite being comfortably positioned as a well-connected player on the Vula tribe, Kevin overplayed his hand by trying to turn Cedrek McFadden and Justin Pioppi against their close ally Saiounia Hughley, whom he perceived as a threat because she possessed an idol. Instead, the trio turned on Kevin and blindsided him on Night 5.

3 Words to Describe You: Energetic, social, determined.
Why do you want to be part of Survivor? I started watching Survivor during Cook Islands and saw Yul Kwon as an inspiration to apply. It has taken some time to be physically ready, but I believe now I have the strategic, social, and physical skills to do well on Survivor.
What's one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? As a side job post college, I worked at Abercrombie & Fitch as a greeter / model. I learned that effectively complimenting, smiling, and charming people while still being genuine goes a long way in terms of likeability. Those skills have prepared me to interact with all kinds of people in Survivor.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? David vs. Goliath was my favorite season. I identify with most of the Davids (Christian, Nick, Davie) because of their tenacity and grit to band together despite their appearances. I hopefully will play like Kaleb from S45 and use my social charm to influence people, but hopefully not be too charming where they see me as a threat!
What will you value in an alliance partner? I will value someone who is flexible enough to look at all options. Doesn't mean we are wavering, but thoughtful in weighing out all scenarios before coming to a decision.
Favorite Hobbies: Tennis, Barry's Bootcamp, Escape Rooms
Pet Peeves: People who are always late.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Getting an MBA and graduating top of my class.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? Though I don't have children of my own, I really have the desire to help kids with disabilities. In 2019, I volunteered at an orphanage in Ghana and it was the most humbling and rewarding experience of my life.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why? My parents because they sacrificed and provided everything for me so that I could be successful. I hope to make them proud by showing grit, tenacity, and motivation – values they instilled in me.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I think I have the winning combination to be Sole Survivor. Athletic, social and smart? C'mon! I hope to charm my way to the million dollars![1]
