Name (age): Ulmer Torgrimson (46)

Occupation: Wedding Photographer

Residence: Rapid City, South Dakota

Inspiration in Life: My beautiful wife, Samara. We were high school sweethearts, but what stood out to everyone was that I was the weird, fat, nerdy kid, and Samara was a beautiful cheerleader. Nobody could understand why she wanted to be with me, of all people, and we both got bullied for it. But she never let it bother her, and all these years later, not only are we still together, but we got two wonderful children. I honestly don't think I could've survived high school without her, let alone gotten where I am in life.

Claim to Fame: I guess you could argue that a so-called "loser" like me landing a beautiful woman like Samara is a claim to fame in and of itself. (Laughs) But my photography is absolutely my claim to fame. I've always felt right at home behind the lens of a camera, and now I'm pretty well known around South Dakota for being able to create beautiful wedding albums for people to commemorate that special day in their lives.

Pet Peeves: I'm a pretty impatient person, so long lines piss me off, especially when there's a browsy person at the front that can't make a damn decision. Also, considering all the bullying that I had to endure when I was younger, I can't stand people that cast judgment on others for the way they look, or for anything they can't actually control.

Survivor Player You are Most Like: Chris Daugherty from Vanuatu. I'll suck hind titty on balance beams, but nobody will see me as a threat until far too late, I think I'm a pretty sneaky social player, and I'll probably drop an f-bomb when I'm declared the winner. (Laughs)

Why you will win SURVIVOR: Nobody is going to see me as a threat, so I'm hoping they won't waste a vote on someone like me, even pre-merge when challenges actually mean something. But I think I'm also pretty decent at being an instigator and stirring up trouble, while also not getting caught up in the drama. My strategy is to make sure that the spotlight is on everyone except for me, while making friends, and slithering my way to the end, and I think I can manage that.

Additional Info: Ulmer is 5 foot 6 and weighs 240 pounds prior to the game starting. He has a tattoo of a dragon going all the way up his right arm and a lion tattooed on his back. He and his wife have two daughters named Charisma (16) and Lyric (13).
