Paulie Michael

Paulie Michael is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn II.

Together with his primary ally Laura Noonan, Paulie was able to control Brawn's first few Tribal Councils and enjoyed success with his tribe's victories in Immunity Challenges. Being thrust onto an unfavourable switched tribe, he found himself in the minority for the rest of the game and had to turn on Noonan in an act of self-preservation. Thereafter, he became the primary target for his perceived untrustworthiness on multiple votes, but was unexpectedly saved by Myles Kuah at the final twelve. After a brief reprieve, Paulie found himself back on the chopping block when half the tribe won immunity at the final ten. When Myles saved himself with his idol, Paulie was voted out as collateral damage.

Paulie (Brawn)

Paramedic

Paulie is a paramedic from Sydney and if anyone can keep their cool under pressure, it will be him.

Every day is different in his job from delivering babies to bringing people back to life, Paulie must adapt very quickly to his surroundings but adapting to sleeping on the beach is something new for him.

He says, "I'm a city boy. I like my city stuff. I go on vacation, but I've never lived in an environment like this! I've slept on a beach a few times, sure that's cute but this is going to be hard."

A Survivor fan who calls Simon Mee, his challenge beast favourite, Paulie says making friends and connecting with people will come naturally for him. He says, "For my job, I must connect with people quickly and make them feel at ease. I've been doing this job for so long that the skills I've obtained from it are part of my everyday life and I think will help me on Survivor."^[1]
