Profile
Name (Age): Panda Rhodes (51)

Tribe Designation: Korhogo

Current Residence: Baltimore, Maryland

Occupation: Zookeeper

Claim to Fame: My obsession with pandas! I have stuffed toy pandas, pictures of pandas, panda bedsheets, and I even changed my name legally from Julie to Panda.

Inspiration in Life: I have to say Pink, who pushes boundaries within her industry, stands up for what she believes in, and doesn't take crap for anybody. I am that sort of person.

Hobbies: I love swimming. I go swimming every day, and I'm damn good at it too. People joke that I should change my name to Fish because I swim so much! I also love going fishing too, which means I probably shouldn't change my name to Fish, or I could be classed as a cannibal! Pet Peeves: JUDGMENTAL PEOPLE! I'm sorry, I can't stand anyone who  judges people for superficial things such as their name, style of dress, lifestyle choices, anything like that. They need to get a life.

3 Words to Describe You: Dedicated, cunning, self-aware

If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: 1) Sports drinks, because I exert a lot of energy in my day and need to keep hydrated 2) Fish bone tweezers. I eat a lot of fish, and one thing I can't stand is bones 3) A salt shaker- let's call it "emergency salt".

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Debbie Warner. Both of us get perceived as crazy at first, but deep down, we're strong players.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To test myself both physically and mentally. Why You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR: I'm a strong swimmer, I'm very comfortable around the outdoors, and I'm a hard worker.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I think people will see me as some crazy girl who is obsessed with pandas, and won't see me as a strategic player. I'm actually very smart behind the crazy panda thing, and I will take them all down!
