Profile
Name: Dexter Li (23) Tribe Designation: Tibat Current Residence: Pittsburgh, PA Occupation: Physical Therapy Student Personal Claim to Fame: Making it into the University of Pittsburgh for graduate school. It took a long road to get to the point that I am at today, but I'm there and I am loving every single minute of it. These are the best years of my life, so I'm definitely gonna make the most of them while I can. Inspiration in Life: My dad for helping me out of some real troubling times in my teen years. I suffered from a lot of anxiety attacks when I was in high school, and it got to the point where I didn't want to even get out of bed. I was the weird nerdy kid who no one really wanted to talk to, but my dad was the one who inspired me to get off my ass and put in the work to change myself. I started working out, went to therapy, talked out my problems, and eventually, things got easier. Life can still get hard at times, but I've learned that that is just what life is about, and it is all thanks to my dad's advice. Hobbies: Playing Video Games, Hanging out with Friends, Working Out, Jogging, Reading, Playing Basketball. Pet Peeves: Negativity and catty girls. I hate having to hear girls gossip and talk bad about someone who they were literally just smiling and chatting with before they left the room. There's way too much of that, and it really grinds my gears. 3 Words to Describe You: Intelligent, Fun, Adaptable SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I think I have to go with Stephen Fishbach. The nerd in me loved seeing him dominate his first season in the way that he did. It was sad to see him come up one placement short, but hopefully, I can overcome that obstacle that he couldn't. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I've been a big fan of the game for a long time. It's a dream come true to actually have the chance to go out and play. Not to mention that student loans are getting pretty hefty so that that cool mill wouldn't hurt either. Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I like to think of myself as a pretty adaptable person. I mean, that could be a total lie, and I may be in over my head, but I think that I am fairly well prepared for whatever comes my way in terms of the weather and elements out there. Whatever happens, happens, I guess. Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I think that I have the right amount of strength in each facet of the game to make it all the way. I'm physical, but I don't think I'll be a competition beast. I'm strategic, but I'm not some crazy gamebot. And I'm social, but not overly so as to draw unwanted attention towards me. I think just having enough confidence going in is what is key for me and ending up with that million dollar check at the end of this whole shebang.
