Name (Age): Josh Ryder (23)

Hometown: Sacramento, California

Occupation: Professional Surfer

How would you consider youself a Fan of Survivor: Because I do Survivor EVERYTHING! Seriously, when I'm not surfing, I'm watching Survivor, watching RHAP, reading Survivor blogs, the list goes on. You name it, I'm doing it. Every year, for my birthday, we have a little game of Survivor out in the backyard. I haven't won one yet, but now I'm hopefully going ot do the real thing!

Who's your favorite former player?: I'd say Cirie, because she was basically the one that everyone was saying would leave really early, yet she made it so far. She's one of the smartest players to play, and everyone underestimates her because of her physical weakness. She really is the woman who got up off the couch and played Survivor. And she has my respect.

Why will you "survive" Survivor?: I'm gonna survive Survivor because I know the outdoors like the back of my hand. I camp a lot, in case I ever get the chance to go on the show, so I can prepare myself for the outdoors. Plus I'm a okay physically and mentally so I'll be an asset to the tribe.

Why will you be the Sole Survivor: Because I'm going to employ one of the most successful strategies in Survivor history: as long as it ain't me. I'll target the person who is next likeliest to go. Plus, I'm really good at sensing danger, so I'll be able to tell who's lying and who's not!
