Profile
Name (Age): Sylvester Gerrard (80) Current Residence: Portsmouth, NH Occupation: Retired Doctor Hobbies: Anything that keeps me active, really. Even though I just turned 80, I still do lots of curling in the winter and lots of golf in the summer. I also train for the Boston Marathon year-round and have been running in that race every year for almost 50 years and plan to run again next year. Yes, you heard me right, I just turned 80 and I am still planning to run in the Boston Marathon again next April! Besides staying active, I really enjoy cracking jokes, spending time with my family, and playing with my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: I think just getting to the end would be difficult in and of itself 'cause SURVIVOR is not an easy game to play by any means. That being said, I can't really single out a specific thing that I think will be difficult. Dealing with people? I was a doctor for 44 years before I retired! Even now, I still enjoy being social and having a good time with people. The elements? I really enjoy camping and being outdoors, so I don't see the elements bothering me too much. Challenges? Sure, I may not be as agile as I once was, but hey, I'm still quite active despite turning 80 not long ago, so I think I'll surprise a lot of folks with how well I can hold my own in challenges. The strategy? I think I'll do pretty well in that department as well considering that I am a huge fan of this show and haven't missed an episode since Borneo started! Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: OZZY! Just kidding (laughs), but seriously, I do think I will surprise folks with how well I do in challenges. I guess if I had to pick someone, I'd say Rudy Boesch considering that despite his age, he showed that he was one tough son-of-a-gun! Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: My strategy at this point is simply to try and find a couple of people that I really trust and take this game one vote at a time. SURVIVOR is a very unpredictable game and I think that if you have your entire strategy laid out before it even starts, you're guaranteed to lose! So yeah, I guess you could say that my strategy is to be flexible with my strategy! (Laughs)
