Profile
Name (Age): Emil De Bruyne (19)

Tribe Designation: Makhuwa

Current Residence: Newark, NJ

Occupation: University Student

Claim to Fame: I’d say both my skills at hockey and my Jersey pride, man! I’m the top scoring player for my team, the Princeton University Tigers, I kill it in the face-off draw, and I’ll be enterin’ the NHL draft next year! My pride for Jersey is also well known ‘cause I just love rootin’ for and representin’ my home state, the Garden State, which is where I’m from. My ultimate dream would be to get drafted by my home team, the New Jersey Devils and take ‘em back to the Stanley Cup!

Inspiration in Life: Martin Brodeur for sure, man! He was with my Devils for 21 seasons and was a prime reason they made it to the [Stanley] Cup final 5 times and won the Cup 3 times! As a kid, watchin’ him do his thing on the ice and bring the Cup home to Jersey, was just so awesome and it kick-started my dream of goin’ to the NHL and doin’ the same thing he did.

Hobbies: Playin’ hockey, partyin’, hangin’ with friends, pickin’ up Jersey girls, watchin’ sports.

Pet Peeves: People that disrespect Jersey, man! My Jersey pride runs deep and I’ll be happy to beat some respect into anyone that talks s*** ‘bout the Garden State!

3 Words to Describe You: Loud, tough, and social

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: Firstly, an endless supply of Jersey-made bagels, man! For one, I don’t wanna starve out there. Secondly, it has to be Jersey-made bagels ‘cause tastin’ all of that other crap is like bitin’ into an oatmeal/raisin cookie thinkin’ it’s chocolate-chip. Anyway, I’d also take with me some toilet-paper ‘cause wipin’ my ass with leaves will not be fun! For the third thing, I’d say some Jersey girls to party it up with out there!

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: Definitely Malcolm! He’s a smart, likable guy, who also knows how to kill it in challenges! The difference is of course, that I’m gonna win.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I’m comin’ out here ‘cause I think this game’s just gonna be such a cool experience to have, man! Plus, when I get drafted to the NHL, I think it’ll be so cool to have all those announcers and analysts referrin’ to me as the star NHL-er that won Survivor. I think it’ll be even more awesome when I become the first person to win both the title of Sole Survivor and the Stanley Cup!

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I’ll survive this show ‘cause of my superior athleticism, my supreme social skills, and my never-say-die attitude!

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: ‘Cause I’m a likable guy, man! I just have this way with people and I don’t doubt for a second that the jury’s gonna love me when I get to the end!
