Name: Doris Meulcher

Hobbies: Reading, crossword puzzles, tutoring students, hiking with my husband Mike, anything that helps others and helps my mind grow

Pet Peeves: Loud talkers, people who dogear books, people who walk in front of you when you are taking a picture. Rudeness overall is a big turn off to me.

Three Words to Describe You: Observant, Reserved, Helpful

Which Survivor contestant are you most like? I would say I am a lot like Dr. Jill from Nicaragua. I feel we just have very similar personalities and she was someone I admired when I watched her season. Even though she didn't do phenomenal she's still one of my favorite players.

'''What's your reason for being on Survivor? '''Unlike many people who go onto this show, I would not venture to say I am a very enthusiastic Survivor fan or someone who is searching for personal growth. I've been an off again, on again viewer since Borneo, and I feel I already know who I am. I just felt as if signing up would be a fun thing to do, and lo and behold here I am! But don't think I won't put my all into this game. I might not be a player who is going to lie or backstab, but I think I can push through.

'''Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? '''In all my years watching the show, everyone lies. It seems unavoidable. But my idea is to play the most honest game possible. If I don't like someone, I'll tell them. If I'm targeting them I'll tell them. That may seem dangerous but if everyone sees me as a candid and trustworthy person, why wouldn't they want to keep me around? As an older woman who is neither the strongest nor most sociable, I think I need to try an inventive new strategy if I want to win this game, and through that I think I can "survive" Survivor. Honesty is the best policy, always.
