Adrian Redford

 is a contestant from Survivor: Bermuda - Brain vs Brawn vs Beauty.

Profile
Name (Age): Adrian Redford (22)

Tribe Designation: Gombey

Current Residence: Anchorage, Alaska

Occupation: Aerospace Engineering Student

Claim to Fame: I've got not one but two claims to fame: Firstly, my IQ of 140. I've always been the smartest in my class wherever I go and I'm quite proud of that. Secondly, I can play the piano in complete darkness. I once entered my school talent show and played Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in utter pitch black. Everyone was amazed. Inspiration in Life: My inspirations in life are the great musical composers and literary writers of the world. They opened my eyes to the wonders of piano and creative writing and for that I am forever thankful.

Hobbies: In addition to playing the piano I'm also a writer in my spare time. I don't really have a specialised genre I write about. No topic is off limits for me. I currently have three ideas on the go at once and return to them when I feel a burst of creative energy. I have an obscure habit of checking myself into hotels and motels just to be alone with my stories. I find the ideas are far more free flowing and I'm a lot more productive when I'm alone in a hotel room.

Pet Peeves: People who call me pretentious or stuck-up for using a more sophisticated vocabulary that they deem to be appropriate for my age. Just because I'm smart doesn't mean I'm stuck up about it. Furthermore I can't stand people who ask me if I'm autistic. There's perfectly reasonable explanations for being of above average intelligence and being able to play the piano in the dark other than autism. I've been tested and the results have come back negative. That's what I hate about people: the second someone is smarter than them or has a special talent they assume they're autistic. It's ridiculous.

3 Words to Describe You: Composed, analytical, intelligent

If You Could Have Three Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: 1) Definitely a piano to both entertain my tribemates and prevent me from going insane with boredom 2) A notepad for when inspiration strikes for a story idea. You never know what's going to happen out there and any life experience can be turned into writing material. 3) A large supply of glasses-cleaning wipes. Given how busy I am going to need to be out there I certainly won't have time for smudged glasses.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I would consider myself most like Yul Kwon. He was one of the smartest contestants to appear on the show, always building strong social relationships and being very aware of his surroundings. That's how I'm going to play the game, Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: It's the ultimate social experiment. This show has intrigued me for years and years. Whereas other shows generally fade away and lose my interest over the years, this is the one show I cannot turn away from. I've always wondered how I would do on the show.

Why You Will "Survive" SURVIVOR: I'm a very practical kind of person and can figure out a logical way to do anything. Also, being an aerospace engineering student I know how to structure things, which will be of vital importance when constructing a shelter.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I'll always aim to be the middle man of an alliance; always building the strong social relationships, being the glue that holds the group together so to speak, yet I won't be the head who will be targeted. I'll control things without making it seem like I'm controlling them and then, by the time they realise I could actually win this show, it will be too late. I'll already be sitting at Final Tribal Council having played a formidable strategic and social game. If anyone could win over the Jury unanimously, it would be me.
