Winter Alan

 is a contestant from Survivor: Mauritius.

Profile
Name (Age): Winter Alan (25)

Tribe Designation: Aapravasi

Current Residence: Reno, NV

Occupation: Bartender

Claim to Fame: My skills when it comes to getting tips at the bar. Seriously, I’m a bar owner’s best friend because I rake in tips like it’s nothing. All I need to do is slightly bite my lip or subtly brush my hair with my hand and thirsty guys will toss tips at me like it’s nothing. My boss is always complimenting me on how good I am at what I do, but it’s literally so easy. I guess I was meant to be a bartender?

Inspiration in Life: Marilyn Monroe! She’s, like, crazy cool in so many ways. She was a beautiful woman who owned her good looks and used them to her advantage, which is similar to how I approach my job, but more than that, she was this awesome political activist! Her views were really radical, so I can’t say that I agree with them, but just the fact that was a part of her personality makes me love her even more!

Hobbies: Getting drinks with my friends when I’m not working a shift, going on runs by myself through the local parks, and watching Keeping up with the Kardashians. Not because I like them, but because they’re so trashy that I get morbidly curious and need to know more.

Pet Peeves: Easily, when people see how I present myself and try to rant to me about feminist s***. Like, I get that women’s rights are awesome and I love seeing people fight for them, but come on! You should be getting mad at men who sexually assault people, not at me for wearing somewhat revealing clothing. (laughs) A lot of the time, it’s MEN that do this to me, too!

3 Words to Describe You: Positive, flirtatious, & snarky

If you could bring 3 things on the island with you, what would they be and why?: A bottle of Rose for when the people get on my nerves and I need to escape from them, a flashlight for when I need to go pee in the middle of the night, and some sort of camera to take pictures with. I bet the sights in Mauritius are beautiful.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I know that Parvati Shallow is the generic answer that every vaguely pretty girl gives to try and give themselves far more personality than they actually have, but I do think that I’m the most similar to her. (giggles) I tried to think of somebody else! We’re both use flirting to our advantage, but more than that, we’re cunning players who can manipulate people to get ourselves on the top.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: Uh, to be honest, I might’ve lost a What are the Odds game and been forced to apply. I haven’t seen the show, I’m sorry, but my friend Monica is obsessed with it and was trying really hard to force one of us to apply, and, well, she got me. I’m excited to see how the game goes, though, and I did do my research before coming here!

Why you will be the Sole Survivor: I’m just naturally good at getting along and bonding with people, and that for sure will be helpful for me out here. Beyond the obvious, I don’t know a ton about the show, and while that sounds bad for me at first, I’m not going to be seen as some superfan strategic genius who needs to be taken out. That buys me enough time to get a good alliance going and find people I trust, and those people will help me make it all the way to the end.
