Profile
Name (Age): Geoff Allison (38)

Tribe Designation: Sena

Current Residence: DeKalb, IL

Occupation: Personal Injury Lawyer

Claim to Fame: I was the very first person in my family to have gone to university. So far, I’m also the only person in my family to have graduated university.

Inspiration in Life: I’d have to say my Grandfather, Claude. My family never really had much money growing up, and I wasn’t that good in school, so I considered just not going to university and finding some mechanic job or something. But my Grandfather saw the potential that I had and kept me on track to be the first person in my family to attend university. I had to take out quite a bit of money in student loans and had a lot of debt once I got out of school, but it was worth every penny, and I can’t thank Grandpa enough.

Hobbies: Hanging out with family and friends, bowling, playing pool, basketball, board games, jogging, riding my bike.

Pet Peeves: Ignorance and recklessness are the two main ones. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that many of my clients receive their injuries as a result of one or both of these, but I just find it so mindboggling and sickening that people can go through life with a complete disregard for the people around them!

3 Words to Describe You: Persistent, Clever, Caring

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: Firstly, the gold watch my Grandfather gave me. It was the very last Christmas gift he bought me, and on the back of it, he had the phrase “Life is short, love is forever” engraved. About a week after he passed, I had his initials engraved underneath that phrase. So, as you can imagine, it’s quite special to me, and I live by those words every day. The second thing I’d take would be a book of sudoku puzzles to help pass the time and keep my mind active. Lastly, I’d make sure to take a large supply of toilet paper because I’m not too keen on the idea of wiping with leaves or anything like that.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I have the strategic mind of Stephen Fishbach, as well as the social game and athletic ability that J.T. Thomas had during Tocantins.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I’ve been a fan of this show for as long as I can remember, and it has been a dream of mine for a long time to come out here and play the game! So, as you can imagine, I’m out here for the experience and the thrill of not just playing this amazing game, but playing to win!

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I’ll survive because I’m an extremely competitive person that’s going to do whatever it takes to win. I’m confident that I have it in me to go all the way and win, so now I just have to do it!

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: As I mentioned, I believe I have the strategic mind of Stephen Fishbach and the athleticism and social game of J.T. in Tocantins. I know this game well, and I am prepared to do whatever it takes to get to the end. I also believe I have a leg up on many of my fellow castaways because as a Personal Injury Lawyer, I am no stranger to going in front of a judge and arguing my case as to why my client deserves compensation. So, when it comes to the Final Tribal Council, I’ll be using the same set of skills to convince the jury to give me the million as I do whenever I set foot in front of a judge.
