Profile
Name (Age): Evander Duprat (37)

Tribe Designation: Wai Wai

Current Residence: Hartford, CT

Occupation: Locksmith

Claim to Fame: My music, I think. I do some singing, rapping, and song writing on the side as a hobby ‘cause I think music’s a great way to express yourself. I only really sang or rapped in public when I was in school, and now I pretty much only perform at family or social functions and stuff like that. I may not be super well-known or anything, but it’s something I enjoy doing, and I haven’t been booed off a stage yet, so I guess that’s a good sign. (Chuckles)

Inspiration in Life: My wife, Simone, is just the most loving and passionate person out there. I grew up Christian, but I never considered myself super religious. But her devotion to everything she does, and the way she speaks about her family and her faith is something I find really inspiring. I converted to Judaism a few months after we met because of her, and I couldn’t be happier with the way my life is right now.

Hobbies: Singing, rapping, song writing, writing, making puzzles, reading, and working out.

Pet Peeves: Anti-Semetism, homophobia, sexism, et cetera, et cetera. Basically, if you wanna be an asshole to someone just ‘cause of who they are, then I automatically despise you. Honestly, fighting and conflict in general just really get under my skin. I try so hard to just be a peaceful person and avoid drama whenever I can because I hate seeing people argue.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I’ll say Earl Cole as he was just a nice guy that was fairly quiet and reserved, but was still a very good game-player and strategist when it came down to it, and rightly won the game based on merit.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: My reasoning for being out here is to help out my family and set up college funds for my children. I’m a fan of the game as well and really looking forward to the experience, but family is definitely the number one reason I’m out here.

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I’m a very hard-working person and put 110% into everything I do. I’m gonna do everything I can to ensure that I’m a good provider for the tribe so that we can physically survive during the game. I’m also gonna always be on my toes strategically so I can survive the votes.
