3 Words to Describe You: Strong, Driven, Determined

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why: SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I believe I am pretty similar to James Clement. We’re both muscular, strong guys who will do many of the tasks around camp and are pretty likable. I don’t plan to get voted out with an idol, however!
 * 1) A football to play around with
 * 2) Soap and shampoo to keep clean
 * 3) Dr. Pepper. Drinking that stuff gets me pumped before every game, and I’ll be missing that boost before challenges.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: My wife Penelope is a huge fan. She has bad asthma and can’t compete well, but she’s urged me to try it for her, and I certainly will. I started watching with her last year to get prepared, and I’ve seen quite a few seasons by now; my favorite’s China.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I have gone camping and stuff a lot in my childhood. I grew up in Mississippi so I was used to roughing it sometimes. I’m not scared of the wilderness, and I’ll help the others survive it too.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I am a strong physical competitor; that fact will help me get far in this game. I am also a pretty honest and likable dude, so I think many people will realize it’s better to align with me than not, as I can be a useful ally.
