Name (Age): Tamiciea Davis (58)

Current Residence: Atlanta, GA

Occupation: Judge

Claim to Fame: I was recently appointed to a judgeship in Atlanta's municipal court after working for nearly 25 years as a prosecutor in the Fulton County District Attorney's office. It is, in my view, the culmination of all of my achievements in the legal profession

Hobbies: Jogging, Reading the newspaper and Cooking

Pet Peeves: People who are unable to take responsibility for their actions, Laziness and Uncleanliness

If You Could Have Three Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: A photograph of my beautiful wife Angela because she truly is my rock, a copy of War and Peace by Dostoyevsky because I love to be intellectually stimulated and a cookbook so I can make good food for the tribe from the island cuisine.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like (can be my fanon or canon): I would choose Denise from the Philippines because we both come from backgrounds and occupations where we do not fit in to what is traditionally expected as the norm and because I would like to emulate her observational and emotional intelligence in my own game.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: My reason for being on SURVIVOR is because I want to show my wife, my family and my colleagues that just because this tough old broad is well within middle age, does not mean I do not have a lot of fight left in me! (Laughs heartily) But seriously, I want to prove to myself that I can conquer something massive in this stage of my life when it seems like there's nothing left to fight for and SURVIVOR is the ultimate equalizer - it does not care who you are or where you come from.

Why You Will "Survive" SURVIVOR: I will "survive" SURVIVOR because being a prosecutor and a judge for as long as I have, you see people from all different walks of life come through the courtroom so in all honesty, I'm ready for anything. I've faced off with gangbangers, sleazy white collar criminals, people who have done horrific things to their wives and children....so there's not a lot that can shock me anymore.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: (Sighs deeply and pensively) This answer probably won't make popular, but I will be the Sole SURVIVOR because I have the abilities to be victorious in this game and I have full faith and confidence within myself that I can execute. It's as simple as that.

Additional questions for you (Answer AS YOU, not as your character)
 * Rate you castway's strategic, physical and social game out of 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. Provide a reason why you chose the numbers.
 * Strategic: 10 - Tamiciea's strategic game is strong because she understands how to adapt quickly to changing circumstances, she knows how to and is willing to think outside of the strategic box in order to get the desired solution and she knows how to create multiple paths to get the desired outcome she wants. She has proven her ability to do all of these things throughout her time as a prosecutor and has honed her skills since as a judge.
 * Physical: 4 - Her age will probably slow her down in comparison to her tribemates, but for a 55 year old female Tamiciea is reasonably fit and is willing to compete in every challenge and to contribute around camp. However, puzzles would definitely be one of Tamiciea's strong suits and if she can overcome the physical stuff to get to a puzzle round - watch out.
 * Social: 5 - While Tamiciea may have some advantages due to her authoritative manner and knowledge of how to settle disputes between parties, she can often come across as stubborn and condescending, especially towards people who she feels aren't on her intellectual level. However, if she finds a loyal ally she will absolutely have their back for as long as possible. It would be nice if she made a friend, but Tamiciea understands that this is a game for a million dollars first and foremost
 * What could cause your castaway to win? Tamiciea would win because of the fact that I believe that the agility of her mind and her willingness to make big and ballsy moves will allow her to compile a resume that not a lot of people would be willing to approach, let alone beat.
 * What could cause your castaway to lose? The biggest thing that could cause Tamiciea to lose would be her pride because she is a very proud person and it's difficult for her to admit fault in a situation. Her temperament and the way she composes herself could also make her a target, because of the fact that she is chomping at the bit to make a big move.
 * What kind of castaways would your castaways align with? Tamiciea would align herself with those people who would be the LAST people she would be expected to align with, she would align herself with people that she feels like she would get along with well and if she's well and truly desperate, she'll align herself with people solely on the basis of interests until something better comes along.
 * What kind of characters would your castaways avoid or be enemies with? Tamiciea would avoid people she considers to be ignorant and has a very limited tolerance for liars and fools, and would be vociferous enemies with racists and sexists, people who she feels are behaving condescendingly towards her and just overall deplorable people.
 * Please provide a small paragraph of backstory. Tamiciea Davis was born in Detroit, MI, the only child of an Oscar, an automobile factory worker, and Eve, a homemaker. Throughout her life she experienced highly charged racism as her school years coincided with white flight and forced bussing. However, Tamiciea excelled in academics while her mother fostered in her the sense that she has to be "twice as good to get half as far". Believing that Detroit would not provide her the opportunities as other places could, she moved to Atlanta after she graduated high school and attended law school at Emory University with a partial scholarship. After graduating from law school and interning at a large firm, she decided to work for the District Attorney's office in order to make a difference. It was easy for her to not attend to her personal life for many years because her work was her personal life until 2010, when she met Angela, who was then a 19 year old culinary student. After a whirlwind romance, Tamiciea came out of the closet. Her friends and coworkers were supportive, but her mother was shattered, which led to a seven year estrangement (her father died in 1986 of emphysema). Only when Tamiciea and Angela invited Eve to their wedding in 2018 did the wounds begin to heal. Now she currently works as a judge in Atlanta municipal court and she and Angela are looking to use the million dollars to save some money for retirement and provide foster care for at-risk teenagers.
 * Do you consent to having your manga altered (such as natural hair shades, eye colours, custom clothing/face details) if your castaway is cast? (under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will this impact your character's chances of being cast) Sure
