Current Residence: Petersburg, VA

Occupation: Personal Trainer

Claim to Fame: Not only was best friend Vicktor Hernandez on Survivor: Tasmania - Vengeance, but I also predicted that he would be eliminated pre-merge. Right before he left, I told him “Watch, they’ll see you as a threat and blindside you pre-merge,” and look what happened! (Laughs) Yeah, Vick did claim he hated me for a little while because I “jinxed him,” supposedly. But whatevs, we’re still friends, so it’s all good.

Inspiration in Life: My sister, Sylvia. She’s been more than a sister to me through my life, she’s been an amazing friend. When I sat my family down in the living room and came out to them, while the rest of my family kind of just nodded and expressed that they still loved me, she came over to me, gave me a big hug and actually congratulated me, which just blew me away! Then, when I made the mistake of coming out to my homophobic grandparents, she stood by me and said that if I wasn't going to have anything to do with them, then she wouldn’t either. Thankfully, 8 months later, my grandparents called and apologized for the way they acted (hey, better late than never). But yeah… the constant love and support that I’ve gotten from my sister through my life just means so much to me.

Hobbies: Working out, helping people get fit, watching Survivor, playing basketball, jogging, hanging out with friends

Pet Peeves: Quitters are the absolute worst in my opinion, especially when they quit something that’s vital for their health! I get that working out is a huge change for some people, and I do try and take it a bit easy on newbies. But it does piss me off when people come to one or two sessions and just give up because “It’s too hard” or they “don’t see results.” (Pretends to gag) I also hate it when I tell people my name’s Kane and they go “Oh, like the wrestler?” Trust me, that got old so quickly!

3 Words to Describe You: Strong, confident, nice

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: Well, I guess Vicktor would be the first thing because not only would he be a loyal, trustworthy person, but he also has lots of experience from playing before, which would be very helpful to me! Next, I’d probably take some free weights to help keep myself in shape. For the third thing, lots of soap so I can stay clean out there!

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I would say Vicktor, but no! I’m a much better player than he can ever dream of being! (Chuckles) I’ll say that I am like a black Boston Rob… except for the fact that I’ll win on my first try!

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: With Vicktor making it onto Tasmania, that gave me all the more drive to continue trying to get on this show so that I can prove to the world that I’m much better at this game than he can ever dream of being! (Giggles) I also want to win that million dollars… because who wouldn’t want to win a million dollars?!

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I will survive because I’m mentally and physically tough, so I don’t see myself cracking out there. Also, since I hate quitters, there’s no way that I’ll ever let myself join that group!

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: I will win this game because I have been a huge fan of this show for a long time, and ever since Vicktor actually got cast, I’ve been thinking long and hard about how I’m going to go about playing this game for myself. I think I’ll figure out pretty quickly the right people to align with. Not only that, but I also know to lay low enough to not be voted out as a threat, but not to lay too low that people see you as a goat. From there, all I need to do is make a few key moves at the right times, and I’ll guarantee that I’ll be a million dollars richer when this game is over! Oh yeah, I also know that I can’t be a jerk during the game, but then again, that little fact would be obvious to anyone with common sense. So yeah… I think my chances of winning are pretty damn good!
