Name (Age): Keisha Barnes (24)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: Beaufort, South Carolina

Occupation: Theatre Attendant

Personal Claim to Fame: Finishing school despite growing up in a poorer family. My mom had to work two jobs to make ends meet just to put food on the table. I'll admit the temptation was there to just drop out and go into the workforce to support the family, but I decided to stick it out. I'm so glad I did because I actually did quite well!

Inspiration in Life: Definitely my mom! She worked so hard just to support us kids, working two jobs while looking after the four of us. She's so selfless and caring and she's someone I aspire to be like every day of my life.

Hobbies: I love skating in my spare time. I took it up as a way to keep myself interested in the spare time I had between studying, 'cause mom was usually always out of the house working. I also love cooking which, again, I had to take up because mom was out of the house.

Pet Peeves: People who look down on the poor and those who need welfare stamps, saying they're wasting tax payer money. Some people actually need them, despite being able to work! Also, people who abuse those working in low-end jobs like the fast food industry and garbage disposal. Just because someone isn't as smart as you or doesn't earn as much doesn't mean they aren't still contributing! You have no right to talk down to them. Someone has to do the jobs.

3 Words to Describe You: Sassy, motivated, spiritual.

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be?

1) My Bible- It wasn't always the easiest time growing up and my religion really helped me through dark times in my life. I feel like it'd really help me out on the island too!

2) Red hair dye- Regrowth is disgusting!

3) My skateboard- to have some fun and chill out whenever I get stressed.



Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Cydney Gillon because I'm tough, social and I'm motivated to get what I want and find any way I can to do it. Plus family- my mom in particular- means so much to me.

Reason for Being on Survivor: Absolutely the money. The million dollars would mean so much to me as I'd be able to give back to my mom and finally be able to put myself through college. I want to do an economics major and get a great job so I can support my family. It would make me the first person in my family to attend and graduate college!

<p style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I have so much motivation; I'm playing not just for myself but for my family. I'm young, fit and social and I'm determined to get anything I want and take any paths I can to win the game.
