Name (Age): Gregory Smith (65)

Relationship to Significant Castaway: Jordan's regretful soon-to-be Father-in-Law.

Tribe Designation: TBA

Current Residence: Boston, Massachusetts

Occupation: Stay-at-Home Dad

Personal Claim to Fame: Raising the sweetest daughter that anyone's ever seen. Too bad she's wasted her life on Jordan.

Inspiration in Life: It used to be my daughter, before she met Jordan. Now, I don't have anyone else left, the closest thing to an inspiration I got is my cat.

Hobbies: Golfing, Sleeping, Jogging

Pet Peeves: Good-for-nothing deceiving men who want to steal my daughter!

Three Words to Describe You: Blunt, Dignified, Fatherly

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I think I'm most like Big Tom from Africa and All-Stars. I'm honest, I despise liars, and when I promise you something, it actually means something.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Jordan invited me to go out here with him so he could prove her's not a bad guy to me. He's gonna have a lot of convincing to do, because the minute Kelly walked through the door holding that guy's hand, I knew I was in trouble. Now they're engaged, and I'm about to be his family, but I've always known he was a bad seed, he's condescending, he's deceiving, and he's a piece of work. I don't know how he plans to change my mind, but he'll have to do something drastic.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I've always been an outdoors kind of person, I might not look athletic, but I can handle myself out in the wilderness. Bring on the rain, I say! I can take it.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: If I can get over the hurdle that is Jordan, then I truly beleive people will respect my honest gameplay. It was a better world 50 years ago, but maybe there's some decent people out there still. Maybe people will respect handshakes, and if that's so, then I think I'll make it to the end.

What Does It Mean To Play SURVIVOR With Your Loved One: Lousy, but if he's out there to prove something, then he better do it quick, because if I don't see anything soon, I'm gunning for him.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Personal Claim to Fame: Meeting the most beautiful, kind, and caring person in the world in Kelly, and having the pleasure to marry her. If she hadn't had the extra baggage in the form of Gregory, it would be perfect.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Inspiration in Life: My fiancé Kelly, she's the best example in life I could ever ask for.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Hobbies: Surfing, Swimming, Biking

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Pet Peeves: Judgemental people, who make judgements about you too fast.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Three Words to Describe You: Gregarious, Intellectual, Hard-working.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I think I'm like Yul Kwon from Cook Island, I'll be able to win the game while staying honorable, and just using my intelligence and sociality.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Ever since I met Gregory, he's assumed that I'm some sort of liar who doesn't actually care for Kelly. I have no idea where he got that from, maybe he thought my face looked deceptive or something, I don't know. Now that I've proposed to his daughter, I figured that for the sake of family, I might as well try to get on his good side, and by taking him out here, and playing an honest, straightforward game (things I know he likes) then maybe he'll be able to give up first impressions. We'll see.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I have the social skills to fit in with a crowd, and read people to see what kind of personalities they clash and bond with. I can be the class clown of the group or the quiet worker, whatever I'm needed to be. That's what's gonna win me the million dollars.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Well, in addition to social skills, I also have the brains required for this game. I'll be able to tell when people are lying to me, stay in touch with all my allies, and will be able to make the right calls in certain situations. I know people respect that kind of gameplay, and if I make it to the Final Tribal Council, there's nothing to stop me from winning.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">What Does It Mean To Play SURVIVOR With Your Loved One: If Gregory and I can overcome our animosity, it will mean the world to me. Hopefully he'll be able to ignore whatever he thought of me coming into the game in order to see me for who I really am. I know, a bit unrealistic, but one can dream, right?
