Bonnie Curtis is a contestant from Survivor: Naviti.

Profile
Name (Age): Bonnie Curtis (62) Current Residence: Baltimore, Maryland Occupation: Toxicologist Claim to Fame: Marrying my wife, Rose, in 2013. We had been dating since the 80s, but Maryland only legalised gay marriage in 2013. I've received awards and prizes, but our wedding will always be the best day of my life. Inspiration in Life: My inspiration has always been Marie Curie. She's the reason why I decided to pursue a career in science. Growing up, there wasn't a lot of female scientists, but learning about her in high school inspired me to continue my passion in science. Hobbies: Reading, writing, spending time with my wife and children, and of course, anything science! Pet Peeves: Bigots. As a gay female scientist, I've faced people who hate me because of my labels my entire life. It sucks, but the best thing I can do is just overcome them and prove to them that I am just as good, and sometimes better, than they are. SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: Rudy Boesch. He was an older contestant who didn't fit in with his initial tribe, but managed to overcome their differences and come close to winning. Hopefully, I can improve on his game with my own flair. Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I'm quite a smart and intelligent woman, and I've been through a lot, so it's easy for me to adjust to new settings and environments. Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: I'm a superfan, I've watched every season, so I know how this game works. I intend to make the right moves at the right time. I want to make genuine and long-lasting relationships with people out here, people who I can call friends, and that type of play can really help you out come jury time.
