Name (Age): Maria Rodemeyer (57)

Tribe designation: Wiỵỵāṇ

Current residence: Newport Beach, CA

Occupation: Judge

Inspiration In Life: Ronald Reagan. Not a lot of people who made it into politics managed to win over my support, as I view many politicians now as corrupt and selfish, but he did it when he became Governor of California when I was in high school. He is the definition of what a true conservative is, and it's people like him who made me want to pursue a career in public service.

Pet Peeves: Definitely not all, but a lot of liberals who get so offended by other people believing in different ideas. I sentenced a convicted killer to death a few years ago, and a bunch of anti-capital punishment protesters decided to set my car on fire outside the courtroom. My best friend's a Donald Trump supporter, who happens to be black, and she got lambasted by a group of white men for supporting him. She was called an "Uncle Tom" and I was called a "Nazi sympathizer". When you don't think the world can get any more ludicrous, you can leave it to liberals to push the boundaries one step further.

3 Words to Describe You: Savvy, Blunt, and Persuasive

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I'm in it for the same reason anyone else is - for the money. Imagine how one million dollars could benefit me and my children. In a few months I'll be a grandmother to a wonderful baby boy, and I want to make sure I have enough money to spoil him rotten.

Why Do You Think You Will Survive SURVIVOR: I'm definitely not the nicest person in the world, nor do I intend to be. I know I have my flaws, but I am very competitive. You will not see me quitting the game because of a little cut on my finger, or because a group of people want to vote me off. Do not expect me to cry and break down when or if my back is against the wall. I plan on sticking it out to the end for my family, for my friends, and for myself.
