Name (Age): Barbara Stevens (56)

Occupation: Substitute Teacher

Brief Description: Born in New York, New York, Barbara is a woman who likes to entertain and poke fun at herself. She hasn't quite had it easy in her life recently, having been divorced recently by her ex-husband due to the latter falling for a younger woman, and developing a phobia of hospitals for some time. Despite that, she is a strong-willed woman who loves to pitch in with the work, and has made friends with two other roomates.

'''Why Does She Want to Play? '''Despite her contempt with her ex-husband, Barbara wants to play the game for the family; She intends to give her children and grandchildren a fund for the future, and also plans to give her mother a pension allowance.

How Will She Play: Barbara is convinced that age is just a mere number, as she plans to become a key provider for the tribe as early as possible, and develop as (potentially) one of the strongest pieces of the totem pole. She also tends to build bridges with other tribe members, as she intends to form an alliance so that she could potentially reach the top of the mountain. 

Most Likely Placement: Barbara is a surprisingly social woman for her age - where she could pave the way for a possibly threating alliance, and has a reliable work ethic that could benefit the tribe for the long haul. Her age could unfortunately make her a liability in the eyes of others, and her placing could range from being in the merge to being one of the first castaways booted off. In other words, 7th Place to 16th Place.
