 is a contestant from Survivor: Son Doong - Elements.

Profile

 * Name (Age): Zina Nguyen (54)
 * Tribe Designation: Vayu (Wind)
 * Current Residence: High Point, North Carolina
 * Personal Claim Of Fame: I once tried cross-stitching and managed to wind up in hospital after piercing the needle through my hand. Shows my terrific level of patience. In terms of accomplishments, being a principal for my wonderful elementary school for twelve years now. I've seen many bright and hopeful young children mature and grow over the years before moving on to do great things, and the thought that I had something to do with that process is heartwarming.
 * Hobbies: The colour purple, putting popping candy on everything, paintball, collecting seashells, filling in for the drama teacher at our school so I get to see the children's imaginations, baking cakes in the shape of... well... my students will probably read this so I won't elaborate... I just like to have fun, no matter what the circumstances are.
 * Pet Peeves: Boring people that feel the need to impose that boring-ness on others. Feel free to be boring, I don't mind, we can't all be hyperactive and happy all the time, but I'm always on the move and excited, so don't drag me down with you to your boring level. If you're not down to live a little, don't stop me, because I'm having a good time... having a good time and I don't want to stop at all!
 * 3 Words To Describe You: Some people that know me call me 'zappy, zany Zina', so let's go with that.
 * If you could have 3 things on an island what would they be and why?: Ryan Reynolds. Three of him. I don't think you need me to elaborate further than that on what my reasoning is, it's Ryan Reynolds.
 * Survivor Contestant you are Most Like: Let's take a bit of Keith Nale comedy, add in some Shii-Ann Huang ferocity and fierceness, add a nice amount of Dawn Meehan kindness and compassion, then maybe sprinkle on a little bit of Russell Hantz desire for chaos and then I think you've got the well-balanced individual that is Zina Nguyen.
 * Reason for being on Survivor: Are you kidding me? This is the coolest show out there! It's been my dream to be on the show forever, and so when I got the opportunity to play, I was never going to turn it down. I want to accomplish all my dreams. I'll find an idol, win an individual immunity challenge, take out an alpha male threat with a blindside that nobody saw coming, probably cry because he was a nice person, make someone give me their idol once I've already played mine, and to top it all off I'll win with every single jury vote. That's the master plan, anyway.
 * Why do you think will be Sole Survivor: Who doesn't love me? People my age love me because I show them that you're never too old to capture your youth still. People younger than me love me because I'm the cool lady that has all the energy in the world to still do fun things. If you need me to be your Survivor mum, then I can totally do that, and I'll raise you to be a strong and emotionally stable person... so you won't be mad at me when I cut you. And look, I'm loud, so I'm not exactly going to be a master of stabbing people in the back, so instead I'll just stab you in the face. Who's going to take that seriously and see me as a threat? Nobody.
