Name: Blaze Casiano (25) Tribe Designation: TBA Current Residence: Ruidoso, NM Occupation: IT Technician Personal Claim to Fame: Being the first person in my family of ten to successfully graduate from college. My grandparents emigrated from Puerto Rico before I was born, and even after my family wasn't exactly rolling in dough. However, I am extremely proud of myself to have pulled myself up by my bootstraps and made something of myself instead of being content with living paycheck-to-paycheck. Inspiration in Life: My mother, hands down. Dad died when I was just starting school and it took a huge toll on us. But she pushed herself to limits that I never thought could be reached with the way that she cared for us and kept our household afloat. I have a lot of people to attribute to my current successes, but she's the backbone of 'em, for sure. Hobbies: Lifting Weights, Shooting, Mixed Martial Arts, Playing Video Games, Getting Crunked with Friends at the Bar. Pet Peeves: Quitters. I got no words to say except that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Giving up and saying that you're done is just painful for me to see because it shows wasted potential and a lot of wasted time. 3 Words to Describe You: Flirtatious, Fun-Loving, Determined SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I have an upbringing similar to Nick Wilson but I want to play the game like Malcolm. He was able to beast his way through the game despite the fact that he was a triple threat with a massive target on his back. One of the best players to never win and I hope to be able to do what he didn't. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want both the experience of coming out to Japan and playing the best reality game on television and the chance to help pay back all of the work that my mother did for me when I was growing up. The money is for my family, the experience, though, that's all mine, baby. Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: Physically and mentally, I think that I've got it. I'm no quitter and I've been preparing up until the last minute for the elements out here. It's gonna suck out here sometimes, that's for sure. I know that I can handle it though. Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Despite my self-admitted "douchebag" look, I'm actually very smart. I spend most of my days fixing computers and you don't get to do that if you don't have a brain knocking around in there somewhere. My strategy, however, is to downplay those aspects of myself so that the other players think that I am just some dumb douchebag. Little do they know that I'll be waiting in the shadows, getting ready for my opportunity to strike.
