Profile
Name (Age): Brendyn Garcia (30)

Tribe Designation: Makhuwa

Current Residence: San Diego, CA

Occupation: Parking By-Law Officer

Claim to Fame:  I guess getting married when I was 21 and divorced by the time I was 24. My advice for younger people, if you fall in love before the age of 20, just don’t! (Laughs) My ex-wife and I really did try to make it work, but it just wasn’t happening. We were both just way too young and stupid. At least I can say that I grew up and learned from my mistakes by the time I met my current wife, Tanya. But still, whenever I think back to my early 20s, I just shake my head and wonder what the hell I was thinking! (Laughs)

Inspiration in Life: My son, Samuel. Everything I do in my life is for him now.

Hobbies: Does “Losing faith in the human race” count as a hobby? I do a little bit of that every day! (Chuckles) Beyond that, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Tanya, and son, Samuel. I also like hiking, cycling, and watching TV, especially Parking Wars and Survivor.

Pet Peeves: I’d consider humans in general to be a pet peeve of mine, especially people that get in my face as I’m ticketing their vehicle. Now that I think about it, the thing that really pisses me off most about most humans is that they have such an inflated sense of entitlement and seem to think that the world owes them something, which is just complete and total B.S. that I’m sick of putting up with.

3 Words to Describe You: Savvy, determined, tenacious

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: First would be a journal to document my experience. Second would be a picture of my wife and son. For the third thing, I’d bring my iPod and a durable pair of headphones for the times when I want to completely ignore all the idiots around me.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: K.C. Newman hands down! He may not have been the biggest people person out there, to say the least. But he knew how to connect with the right people and run the game, which is someone I plan on doing.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I’m out here to win the money for my family and give us all a better life back home.

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I know what I’m here for and I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to get to the end and win. I honestly don’t care who I may have to stab in the back because I may or may not ever see them again after the reunion is over.

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: I am fully prepared to take full control of this game and pull out all the stops to win. I will make it damn clear that my family means more to me than anything else, and if people don’t like it, that’s their problem. I am going to take control of this game and since only heartless ass****s wouldn’t respect the reason I’m out here, I’m confident that I’ll be able to nab the majority of those jury votes at the Final Tribal Council!
