Matilda Cosgrove

 is a contestant from Survivor: Temotu.

Profile

 * Name(Age): Matilda (20)
 * Tribe Designation: Science
 * Current Residence: Southfield, Michigan
 * Personal Claim Of Fame: Being one of two students from my high school selected to have a scholarship to study abroad, travelling and doing research across seven different countries, which ultimately lead to me growing a love for so many different cultures.
 * Hobbies: Chinese literature, eating foreign cuisine, knitting.
 * Pet Peeves: People who think you can't be both smart and a girl.
 * 3 Words To Describe You: Solaced, scholarly, proper.
 * If you could have 3 things on an island what would they be and why?: I'd bring a collection of books to read as reading is my favourite way to pass the time. I'd also bring a knitting kit because - and this will certainly make me seem like an old grandma - knitting is just one of my favourite things to do. Finally, I'd bring a telescope. I'm not even a huge astrology nerd, but out on an island where there's no city lights or pollution that could potentially block the sky, having a telescope would be incredible.
 * Survivor Contestant you are Most Like: I'm most like Heidi Strobel because people will think I'm odd and quirky and probably won't see me as super intelligent, in the meanwhile I'm probably going to be the most intellectual person out there.
 * Reason for being on Survivor: I want to try show that a young person can totally win Survivor if they have the right mind state and can work cleverly to advance themselves in the game.
 * Why do you think will be Sole Survivor: Because I can relate to people of any culture with how much I've travelled, and can also be someone that holds their own for the tribe in both challenges and the strategic dynamics at camp.
