Name (Age): ​John Kalsalda (19)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: Washington DC

Occupation: Government Intern

Personal Claim to Fame: Being able to say I actually stepped foot inside the White House. And no, I haven't met President Trump, but I have met the Vice President on two occasions in the past six months.

Inspiration in Life: Martin Luther King Jr. He was the epitome of bravery, courage, and determination. I respect anyone who's willing to die for what they believe in.

Hobbies: Playing Video Games, Swimming, and Spending Time with Friends

Pet Peeves: People who aren't willing to listen to other people. I have a problem with anyone who will speak for a large amount of time, but walk away when someone else speaks up with a different opinion.

3 Words to Describe You: Charismatic, Witty, and Tough

'''If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be? '''1) I'd bring at least $5,000 so I could bribe my fellow contestants to do what I say. 2) Earmuffs to block out anyone who irritates the hell out of me 3) Pen and Paper, so I could not only make a possible fake idol, but it would be easier for me to trick others into believing where the actual idol is. If I have pen and paper, I can make fake clues for my tribemates to follow.

Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: I personally believe I have the strategic mindset of Robert Angle. He was patient, and he always waited until the right time to make the moves he made. Also, he was likable enough to be able to win the money, and I'm hoping to do the same.

Reason for Being on Survivor: 1) the money. I would be lying if I said I was going out here for free. 2) to get away from life. I'm 19 years old, I go to college and I work in the government. I have more stress than a prostitute in church, and with money on the line, why would I turn this down?

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I'm hoping that I'll be able to socialize with my fellow tribemates, as well as strategically being an overall decent player. I believe if you are both social and strategic, you have a better shot at winning the million dollars as preferred to someone who is strictly physical.
