Name (Age): Dale Slaughter (23)

​Hometown: Greenville, South Carolina

​Occupation: Sales Consultant.

​Personal Claim to Fame: I own three dogs and three cats, all shelter animals that I was able to adopt and nourish back to being full fledged pets, after they were abused and neglected by their previous owners, as well as that I've volunteered for the local animal shelter since I was 16.

​Inspiration in Life: My Best Friend Matthew. Throughout his entire life, he's worked as hard as possible and always gotten rewarded. When he was in school, he maintained a 4.0 GPA while playing for both the lacrosse and football teams and taking the hardest classes he could. He received a free ride to Ohio State for lacrosse when he was only 15, and since then he's played college sports, mantained a job, all while still being in college, and when he finishes next year, he'll probably end up in a very good job.

​Hobbies: I really enjoy just playing sports and hanging out with my bros on a weekly basis, just having a good time. I also still enjoy working out, as I have since I was a teenager trying to become more fit.

​Pet Peeves: People that chew with their mouths open, especially concerning gum. The feel and sound of chalk on a board. Pet owners that don't care after their pets, or leave their droppings on the sidewalk without cleaning them up.

​3 Words to Describe You: Caring, Athletic, Strong-Willed

​SURVIVOR Contestant You are Most Like: Terry Dietz, everything that he's done in his Survivor Career is admirable. I was absolutely heartbroken when the final immunity challenge in Panama was one that he couldn't win. He's also a hero for what he did in Cambodia, leaving the game for his son, and likely forfeiting the only chance to play again that he would have.

​Reason for Competing on SURVIVOR: I want to prove myself to my friends and my family, to show just how awesome I am. I want to show the world what you can be like, and how to be a hero.

​Why You Believe You Will Become the SOLE SURVIVOR: I believe that I will become the SOLE SURVIVOR because I will be able to showcase the hard work that is needed to win to my tribemates, gaining me respect. I also think that I can physically get myself far in the game, and I can pull out some strategy if I need to.

​Additional Information (to allow me to know more about him/her): Dale was born to be physical. He might not like to talk about it, because he wishes that it could have turned out better for him, but he played Ice Hockey all through high school, and played one year in college before a serious injury to his back took him out permanantly. Dale has always wanted to be successful in life and strived towards it, but was left in the dust after he couldn't play sports for a year, and was forced to dramatically change his course in life. Since then, he found a job that he moderately enjoys, and even though he still maintains an extremely physically fit body, he sometimes has had to leave it behind him, and he used to be a lot stronger than he is now. Before he left for college, Dale broke several school records in his high school. Dale's probable loved one would be his Girlfriend, Alexis.
