Profile
Name: Callan Douglas

Age: 27

Occupation: Freelance Artist

Current Residence: Gold Coast, QLD

In life, Callan’s one true passion is art. Now, his passion is a career. A lover of art, he considers himself a “jack of all trades”, specialising in hand-drawn portraits, but also excelling in graphic design and, as of recently, trying his hand at painting. He has turned his love into a business and is living his best life.

Callan considers himself a very physical and social person. When he’s not working on his art projects, he’s going for runs or working out at the gym. He loves to cook all kinds of food and also loves the social scene of the Gold Coast. You can often find him at the clubs if he’s feeling in a partying mood, or at a pub, Somersby Apple Cider in hand, if he’s more relaxed.

Callan has seen several seasons of Survivor and would place himself somewhere in the middle of “casual” and “superfan.” He is excited to get to Taiwan and experience the adventure that the game has to offer. He’ll be the first to admit that he’s not a devious person and is mostly interested in the social part of the game.

“Everyone back home will tell you I couldn’t hurt a fly. I have a cat who I spoil like she’s a princess and I’m always loaning friends money if they need a hand.”

Because of this, Callan knows the deceptive part of the game will be a challenge for him and is looking to get by on his ability to make friends. He knows, realistically, he could win challenges to save his alliance and his strongest bet will be to form a partnership with someone who has that killer instinct, hoping to capitalise off their mistakes.

Other people going away for two months may miss their family, partners, friends, or even pets more than anything else. But Callan has a different love on his mind.

“I’ll miss rocking up to my local pub for some calamari and chips. I’d sell my soul for that. Hey, maybe that’s what I need to motivate my killer instinct!”
