Tatum Pierce is a contestant from Survivor: Nauru.

Profile
Name (Age): Tatum Pierce (24)

Tribe Designation: Baitsi

Current Residence: Chicago, IL

Occupation: Olympic Swimmer

Claim to Fame: Well, I bet you guys saw that one coming, but is making the olympic team and actually competing on Rio 2016. Since I started swimming classes I’ve been training for this moment, and it’s easy to say it was everything I expected and more.

Inspiration in Life: My inspiration is my little brother, I know it may sound crazy of me being inspired by a 10 year old child, but I just have a big connection to him. I guess i’m kind of jealous of him too, since he is having the perfect childhood I never had. Of course I’m not complaining, I love what I do, it’s my passion, but I just wish I didn’t start so soon on this road, because it kind made me lose some good moments.

Hobbies: Swimming, being with my girlfriend, Emilia, spending time with my family, watching a good basketball match on TV.

Pet Peeves: Unfortunately what gets me really mad are people that don’t even know me and consider me this golden boy that is perfect and everything else. I guess it is the price of fame, and I was indeed raised to eb that person, but my life isn’t perfect, you know? I have my issues as everyone else, and I don’t feel confident being anyone’s role model.

3 Words to Describe You: Competitive, Focused, Kind

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: Unfortunately I have only watched the more recent seasons, but I did see something of me in Nick about coming from this poor background and becoming his own Goliath...and I really liked Chris win last season as well, I hope to play as good as a game as he played on those last few days.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I’m here for the experience and for the money. Even though now my family is in a way better position in life, some money will always come in handy, and I would love to travel around the world with my girlfriend and also give my little brother everything he wants. Yes, I spoil him a lot.

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I’m a professional athlete, an elite athlete. I guess you guys have an idea of how tough that is, well multiply that idea and multiply it by one hundred, that’s how tough it actually is. Survivor is almost like a vacation for me, some weeks without having to worry about performing better and better and making the coach and my family proud.

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: I have this competitive blood in my veins that makes me qualified for a competition like this. I’m also doing this for me and for others, I have a lot in stake and I’m focused on winning. If I can maybe hide my threat status for some time and get to know really cool people to trust, I do believe I can take it all home.
