​Name (Age): ​George "Lucky" Mellen (39)

Current Residence: ​Salt Lake City, Utah

Occupation: ​High School Algebra Teacher

Hobbies: ​Baking different types of baked goods, curling up at home with my cat Pi, and hanging out with my fellow teachers

​What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: ​The hardest part for me personally will be trying to not look like the biggest fool on television. Everyone from my school will be watching and if I make any mistake, I'm never going to hear the end of it, so that adds some extra stress to the game.

Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: ​Probably Colby Donaldson. He had the makings to go far in the game, but every time he played he got screwed over by circumstances out of his control. That basically describes my life. My life has been a series of misfortunes and missed opportunities. The only reason my nickname is Lucky is because some people in high school called me that as a joke and it's stuck with me my whole life. However, just like Colby, I have never given up and I've worked hard to get the job I've wanted to my whole life.

​Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game: ​One thing that Survivor has taught me is that even when someone is in a terrible situation, there is always a way to get out of it. My goal is to insert myself into a majority alliance and use someone who's a bigger threat than me as a sort of shield and secretly make the moves for them. Then, if someone catches on or I end up in the minority, I'll fight tooth and nail to stay in the game because in no way am I going to sit there and give up.
