Profile
Name: Sophie Nguyen (28) Tribe Designation: Lan Xang Current Residence: Anniston, MO Occupation: Computer Scientist Personal Claim to Fame: Doing as well as I have in the occupational choice I've made which was to pursue my passion of computer science. I love my job and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Coming up with new systems and programs is actually going to be very useful to me in this game because I have to very strategic in coding as well as in this game. Inspiration in Life: Steve Jobs. He was one of the best computer scientists in the world and he came up with his own line, Apple. That's maybe what I'd like to do with my life too. I'd love to create my own company, my own brand. Maybe I can call it Orange or Pineapple or something like that. Wouldn't that be funny? (giggling) Hobbies: Playing computer games, coding, having virtual chats and meeting up with our colleagues. Pet Peeves: I don't like people who are obnoxiously loud. I understand that people may want to be heard but you can be heard even with a normal tone of voice, you don't have to destroy my ears. I also don't like people who are overly confident. There is a thin line between confidence and arrogance. 3 Words to Describe You: Dorky, Quiet, Intelligent. SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I think I relate the most to players like Cochran or Spencer Bledsoe. I've been a fan of Survivor for a really long time and I've actually been a blogger too. And I am kind of a dork too so that kinds of fits as well. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I need some badge of confidence to say this is what I've done. I have nothing like that. I could say that I've made great achievements as far as computer science but people really don't think that's interesting or that much of an accomplishment but everybody knows that winning Survivor is a big deal. Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I haven't been sick for the last ten years of my life which I take a lot of pride in. I also do some exercises to keep myself fit so I think I have great health. I think I can take the elements no problem. Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I feel like I have all the attributes in line for winning this game. I don't really know about my social game because I am not exactly confident in situations like that. However, I am pretty strong physically and I play strategic games all the time so the element of stabbing people in the back and then expecting votes from them doesn't scare me at all. Take on me.
