Profile
Name (Age): Francine Harrington (26)

Tribe Designation  Sena

Current Residence: Johnson City, TN

Occupation: Student Teacher

Claim to Fame: I was voted “Most Likely to Become President” by my high school graduating class.

Inspiration in Life: My mother for sure! She’s currently an editor for the local newspaper and I got my love of research and history from her.

Hobbies: Researching, reading, writing, people watching, watching TV, hiking, playing with my cat, Rascal

Pet Peeves: Apathy!! I just can’t stand when people don’t seem care at all about what’s going on around them, especially when it comes to issues facing the world today. Specifically, people that don’t vote in elections are the absolute worst! As far as I’m concerned, if you didn’t vote, you have absolutely no right to complain about the politicians currently in office. On a similar note, I can’t stand laziness either because it just shows complete disregard for the people around you.

3 Words to Describe You: Analytical, Intelligent, Passionate

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: The first thing would be a good book to help pass the time. The second thing would be a radio so I could listen to some good music, radio shows, and even the news. The third thing would be my cat, Rascal, because he never fails to help me unwind and relieve stress after a hard day.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: Without question, Fran Xie from Laos! No, it’s not just because of our similar names. (Chuckles) Call Fran overrated all you want, but she did a great job of analyzing her competition, stirring the pot when she needed to, and most importantly, keeping her mouth shut when she needed to! That is definitely how I plan on playing this game, and I just hope I can get that one step further by actually making it to the Final Tribal Council and winning that money!

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: The main reason I am here is for the money, like most people are. However, I also became a big fan of the show fairly recently, with the first season I watched being Survivor: Philippines. So, I must say, I’m very excited to be actually playing this incredible game of social politics as opposed to just watching it.

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I’ll survive because I am an observer and I understand people very well. By carefully analyzing the people around me, I’ll know when I need to speak up, and when I need to shut up and listen. I also don’t see myself having a problem figuring out who’s trustworthy and who’s not rather quickly, so I think I’ll do just fine with picking the right people to align with and knowing when to make certain moves.

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: I’ll be the Sole Survivor because I am a thinker and I don’t rush into anything! Far too often I see that people have played this game with their emotions, and it costs them big time! I’m not going to make that mistake, and I think that’s going to be my key to victory.
