Name (Age): Ryan O'Wellen

Occupation: Mystifier

Current Residence: Las Vegas, Nevada

Reason for Going on Survivor: To be honest, I just want to be seen by the world. I've always been fascinated by the idea of fame, not because I want all these fans, but the fact that someone could say my name and 10 million people would know who they're talking about really attracts me. The million would be a nice addition, too.

What is You Main Strategy on Survivor?: My career's based off of fooling others. I misdirect, I can move things with the sleight of hand, and I can create elaborate plots simply to mystify you. That will hold true in Survivor; I'll do whatever it takes to win the game, and even if I confuse you in the process, when it's all said in done I hope I amaze everyone with the whole picture.

Who is Your Favorite Past Survivor Player and Why?: Tony Vlachos. He made moves left and right for reasons only he saw. Everyone else on the sidelines said he was unnecessarily stabbing his allies, but he knew what he was doing and in the end it gave him a million bucks. That's what I want to do.

Who is Your Least Favorite Past Survivor Player and Why?: Fabio Birza. At one point, I thought his dumb act was all a scheme in order to drop the guard of others to win the game, but as I continued to watch, I realized that he was really that dumb. He might have won the game, but he did it with the least pizzazz of anyone, and I can't support that.

What Makes You Unique?: Well, I think you can tell by my get-out that I'm the biggest fan of Ireland ever, but what makes me unique is that I understand how to trick someone. I understand how to amaze someone, and I understand how to view the big picture instead of the tiny details. I'm a mystifier in real life, and that will carry over into the game.

Are You a Brain, Beauty, or Brawn?: As much as I use my brains to outwit others, I can never deny that my obvious beauty is my best asset. (laughs)
