Name (Age): ​Gwen Wankaner (33)

​Current Residence: ​Yuma, Arizona

Occupation: ​High School Drama Teacher

​Personal Claim to Fame: ​When I was a freshman in high school, I tried out for my school's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and I got the lead role of Hermia, which is huge for someone new to the school.

​Inspiration in Life: ​My music teacher Susan. She was the one who encouraged me to try out for my school's play and that was when I really got into theatre and it became one of my passions.

​Hobbies: ​Acting in community plays, watching musicals and plays, hanging out with my friends, and enjoying a nice bath at home.

​Pet Peeves: ​People who are to afraid to try something new. I was a super shy kid before I joined theatre and I had to be willing to try something new and it was worth it in the end. You never know if you will like something or not if you aren't willing to try something because it's scary, it's disappointing and disrespectful in my opinion.

​Three words to Describe You: ​Dramatic, Bubbly, Caring

​​SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: ​Riley Wahlstedt without a doubt. She put on this whole façade of being this bubbly and airheaded person when in reality she was an amazing strategist who had a huge part in controlling many of the votes and she created social bonds that helped her gain votes needed to make moves and get people to trust her.

​Reason for Being on SURVIVOR​: The money obviously (laughs)​. I mean, a high school drama teacher doesn't exactly get paid a lot and it would be nice to have a little bit of money for myself and my students. I would love to be able to perform a musical at my school but that costs money.

​Why you think you'll "survive" SURVIVOR: ​Are you serious? I mean, my whole career is pretending to be someone I'm not and that's exactly what I plan to do while I'm playing Survivor. I'll make people believe that I'm the perfect ally for them to have and then I'll let them sit in the driver's seat while I'm in the passenger seat guiding their Survivor journey how I want it to go.

​Why you think you'll be the SOLE SURVIVOR: ​I'm someone who can control herself and make others see me how they want to see me. I plan to downplay my strengths strategically, physically, and socially. I'll let all the bigger threats take each other out while I latch onto a few of the so called "goats" and use them to further my own game. I'm not afraid to make moves that benefit me and me alone; and I'm able to lie without so much as a blink of an eye so I can cover my tracks. Then. when I face the jury, they'll see that I played the best game and that I deserve to win the million dollars.
