Three words to describe you: Social, mischievous, introspective
Why do you want to be part of Survivor?: Since I first saw the show in fifth grade, I've felt it was simply a calling. Throughout my life I've found ways to play the game, be it wearing a buff each day of high school, forcing my restaurant coworkers to vote each other out, balancing the large personalities of my friends. I've spent so many years fanatically entrenched and confident I'll perform well. I've also overstayed my welcome as the pesky fan asking the players for photos.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? Elaine, Evvie, [and] Tai are the players I identify most with. I'll play most like Mike White with a dash of Fabio and a sprinkle of Courtney Yates. If you get it, you get it.
What will you value in an alliance partner? I tend to gravitate toward women, first of all. As far as abilities, I'll look for intelligence, ability to do the mental math I can't do, tendency to enjoy gossiping. I also like when people are super eccentric and have a cynical side. I honestly want to work with everyone.
Favorite hobbies: Writing, thrifting, reading nonfiction, the internet, Planet Fitness, legit Survivor (write/read about it/have played "mock" Survivor).
Pet peeves: When people are constantly late it makes me very angry and upset. There are no excuses!
What is something we would never know from looking at you? You couldn't know I did an 18-mile unicycle race in fifth grade, or that I used to be fully addicted to the spicy snack Takis. Three years clean. Oh, and I feel like people think I like crafts. I'm sorry… I don't like to do any crafts.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why? I always read these and kinda yawn at the basic "mom," "dad" answers, but I'm adding to the dogpile. My mom. She is the most capable, caring, one-of-a-kind woman. Without her, I'd never have gotten here.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? Because people like me and I like people. My strategic and physical attributes will be underestimated, but sharp. My social game is going to be killer.[2]
