A character description (50-word minimum): More of a know-it-all than he gives himself credit for, Allen is still like any fan of Survivor. He wants his chance. Growing up around the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, Allen was the starting quarterback for his high school all four years and was offered multiple scholarships to play at the collegiate level. He will be the first to tell you that he enjoyed the popularity. However, when his mother, who feared of his safety in football, passed away after his high school graduation, Allen rescinded any and all offers to play football. Instead, he chose the path of meteorology to fulfill his late mother's wishes and to have the potential of staying in the limelight one day. With this, he graduated after four years and immediately found himself being offered a well-paying meteorologist position that also included some TV time, much to his enjoyment, and has been doing it since. With his background, Allen believes he is the perfect player to claim the title of Sole Survivor. His only downfall may be his know-it-all, wanting the spotlight attitude. He needs to stay humble if he is to reach the end. If he does, his chances of winning are exceptional given he plays a great game up to that point.
