Profile

 * Name (Age): Leo Payntor (24)
 * Tribe Designation: TBD
 * Current Residence: Adelaide, SA
 * Occupation: Retail Worker
 * Season 01 Contestant You Are Most Like: Probably T-Bone

Leo is a young guy currently working at a clothing store in one of Adelaide's biggest shopping centres. Though he may be the shortest contestant of the season, he intends to play a big game. What Leo lacks in stature, he certainly makes up for in personality.

"I grew up short and skinny and well, as you can see, nothing has changed. I've heard every joke under the sun about it, so you know, I probably don't think I'm going to try and hide my height out there, but I will let people know that I'm short when I'm ready."

The cheeky prankster promises to bring a sense of fun to the game that he feels like was missing in Season 01. Leo is a Survivor superfan and believes that the most successful castaways are people who are able to combine humour and strategy.

"I want to be everyone's best friend, I'm like a puppy, I'll get along with anyone until they get mean or boring. I really don't want to hear about your seven cats, Janet, tell me what drugs you did on the weekend, you know? Survivor is the experience of a lifetime, so I'm going to play until I can play no more, but I want to have fun doing it. The boring people, dumb people and bitches can check themselves at the door."

Leo currently lives at home with his mother and younger brother. He would use the money to buy himself a house.

"I'm kind of at the point in my life where I've grown stagnant. People my age are starting their own business' and having kids, I'm just smoking pot and working the same dead-end job I was six years ago, so maybe Survivor will help me grow up a little."
