Deidre Ott

Deidre Ott is a contestant that will be appearing on Survivor Palawan: Death Islands. Special thanks to Uke for letting me adopt this character.

Player Profile
Name (Age): Deidre Ott (21)

Current Residence: Dickinson, ND

Occupation: Cashier

Claim to Fame: I was voted "Most Likely to Become Famous" for my high school yearbook. I know that isn't much, my life hasn't been that interesting. Who knows though? Maybe I'll become famous when this game is over!

Inspiration in Life: My mom without a doubt. My parents divorced when I was 4 years old, so she ended up raising me and my 2 brothers by herself while working 2 jobs. I have no idea how she did it! She is by far the strongest person I know and I strive to be more like her every single day.

Hobbies: Singing, dancing, curling, bowling, working out, taking long walks, hanging out with my boyfriend, Corey.

Pet Peeves: Rudeness, especially to people that are just trying to do their jobs! I've been a cashier at a convenience store for about 3 years now and I find it disgusting how downright rude people can be when they don't get their way! It baffles me even more when they act like that with their children present. I mean, all that does is set a horrible example for their children and the cycle is just going to continue!

3 Words to Describe You: Determined, Kind, Intelligent

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why:

1) A picture of my boyfriend so I can still see his face everyday!

2) A toothbrush and toothpaste to keep my teeth nice and clean.

3) Some free weights to help keep myself in shape.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I'm a unique mix of Natalie White from Samoa and Cydney Gillon from Kaoh Rong. Natalie not only won, but she was very sweet and kind to everyone and I consider myself to be the same way. At the same time, I want to play the game like Cydney. She was a real fighter and had a great strategy by riding the middle. I will also be very strong in challenges like Cydney was.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: As I said, my mom raised me and my brothers by herself, so we didn't have much money growing up. I'm a cashier now simply because I couldn't afford to go to college! I want to win the money here to not only help out my mom, but I also want to be able to go to college and pursue a degree in Child Psychology.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I'm a very determined person and I will do whatever it takes to get to the end. Not only can my mom really use the money, but I also want to afford college! As far as I'm concerned, I will "Survive" Survivor because I have to.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I have all the necessary skills to win this game. I am athletic, so I will do well in challenges. I am very kind and social, so I should be able to get along great with my tribe. Finally, I am a fan of this game and I consider myself to be a smart person. I'm going to do whatever it takes strategically to get to the end and win. That's all there is to it!
