Name (Age): Alicia "Lecy" Rivera (40)

Tribe Designation: Chữa lành

Current Residence: Chandler, IN

Occupation: Registered Nurse

Personal Claim to Fame: My personal claim to fame is not an achievement in a traditional sense but the day I became a nurse was the proudest day of my life because the road leading up to that moment was so hard for me, so I'd call that my personal claim to fame.

Inspiration in Life: My husband Sebastian, 100%. He works incredibly hard as a fireman to help others, he welcomed me and my daughter in with open arms when nobody else was willing or able to help us and treated her as his own; and he is one of the most caring and loving people I've ever met...he has absolutely helped me become a better person since we first met 18 years ago. Without him and my kids (1 daughter of my own and 3 sons together ranging in age from 10 to 24) I don't know where I'd be.

Hobbies: Baking, Watching SURVIVOR with my kids, Hunting and Jogging

Pet Peeves: The type of person that has all of the qualities of what I hate in the world are spoiled, privileged brats who've gotten handed everything to them and have had no hard knocks in life. They're self-centered, narcissistic, naïve, and moronic and I don't have time for that crap either in my daily life or on the island.

3 Words to Describe You: Compassionate, Tough, & Tenacious

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Yikes...It's really hard to say how I'd play like someone not knowing what environment I'm getting myself into but if I had to choose someone it would be Sarah Lancina. She's from the Midwest so she's got the work ethic, she's tough physically, she's smart strategically, she's got good social skills; all in all I would say that's the totality of skills needed in Survivor wrapped up in a neat little package.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Not only do I need the money pretty badly to help pay the bills, but I want my family to be proud of me and to show that I'm more than just a wife and mother; that I'm a strong woman as well.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I can survive SURVIVOR because of two things: Firstly, I've developed the stamina that someone needs to keep going beyond your physical limits when your mind tells you to stop (it's the only time in my life that I'm grateful for 16 hour shifts at the hospital). Secondly, because I've been through incredibly tough situations in my life where I can cope with the physical and emotional toll this game takes on you (it's tough to talk about, but I was kicked out of my house at 16 for becoming pregnant by my "parents" and had to hustle whether it be taking odd jobs or couch surfing or whatever else for six years - prior to meeting my husband - in order to keep a roof over our heads.) Survivor should be a cakewalk compared to my personal experiences.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I think I'll be the Sole Survivor because I believe in the power of underestimation. People's general first impression of me is that I'm just a quiet little nurse from a rinky dink town that doesn't really know anything about how the world operates, but they soon come to find out I'm one tough bitch. That way I can seem like less of a threat, glide under the radar, and only really emerge when I need to make an impression on the jury.

'''How do you fit into your tribe's title? (Hero/Healer/Hustler): '''I fit into my tribe's title because I have I help people when they are at some of their lowest points physically and being a nurse gives you not only the emotional strength to heal others and to make your tribe stronger, but to heal yourself and to give yourself the strength to make it through a stressful game like SURVIVOR.
