Profile
Name (Age): Derek Oxford (41) Tribe Designation: Kahoolawe Current Residence: Newcastle, New South Wales Occupation: Former NRL player Personal Claim to Fame: My highly successful career in the NRL of course. I've played for the biggest clubs, competed in state of origin and even played for the kangaroos internationally. If that ain't something to be proud of, I don't know what is. Hobbies: Well there is the obvious one in playing footy but I'm also into four-wheel driving and camping and fishing and a lot of those sorts of things. Pet Peeves: I don't like cooking. I love hunting, I love fishing but I don't like cooking. I am an absolute mess in the kitchen. 3 Words to Describe Yourself: Competitive, athletic, strong. If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? A footy to toss around with my tribe mates when things get boring. A fridge full of beers to crack open at any time. Also my wife, because she's the best damn cook in the whole world. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I need to prove that I still got what it takes. I'm also incredibly competitive and like joining any sort of competition that I can. Why will you be the sole SURVIVOR: Winning runs through my veins and in my blood. I'm not used to losing and I ain't about to start now.
