Ash Matthews


Name (Age): Ash Matthews (27) Current Residence: Seattle, WA Occupation: Stock Car Racing Driver Hobbies: I mainly enjoy racing whenever I can whether it's competitively or just for fun. I mean it is dangerous, but I haven't died yet! What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: Being away from my family, my mom and dad, two sisters, and brother, will be extremely hard for me considering the large family we have. Also, I just recently got engaged with my longtime partner in crime, Porter. He's been in my life ever since high school, and I am glad he's still here today. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: This one is hard for me, considering how I don't really relate to many Survivors, but I will say Joe Anglim. We're both strong, family guys so I guess there's something there. Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: I just want to play as best as I can. I want to align with strong people of both genders and help advance them forward by working as a team, since I am a huge team player. However, if that core alliance I form isn't solid, I am not afraid to jump the gun and make moves if the time is right. Ideally though, I just want to be that "likeable" guy around camp while also playing a good game at the same time.

Dylan Heiland


Name: (Age):​ Dylan Heiland (21) Current Residence: ​Eugene, Oregon Occupation: ​College Student Hobbies: ​Playing pranks on my fellow classmates. Seriously, it's SUPER funny! One time, I filled my roommate's car with water and when he opened it, he got DRENCHED! It was hilarious! Another time, I gave this guy a thing of roses to surprise his girlfriend with. Well, what he didn't know was that I had given the exact same roses to three other girls and said they were from him, so when he gave his girlfriend them, she went ballistic! I was laughing so hard, my side started hurting! Besides that, I enjoy partying and causing drama! Dude, you will not believe how many people have broken up because I've intervened. Seeing their faces is just priceless! ​What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part Of Survivor Will Be?: ​Honesty, the hardest thing will be keeping a straight face the entire time. I mean, this is a game where you're meant to lie. The thing that's going to be the hardest to do is making sure I don't burst out laughing at all the outrageous lies I'm going to tell. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: ​Hmm, let me think...absolutely no one! I'm my own person and I refuse to be associated with any of those oldies from Survivor Past. Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: ​I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve my goal of winning. If I need to betray my ally from day one, I'll do it in a heartbeat if it gets me farther. I'll lie to every single person here. I'll make moves that benefit my game and no one else's; and if I decide someone's trying to take the power position from me, then I'll pull them off their pedestal so fast they won't know what hit them.

Nadiya Perez


Name (Age): Nadiya Perez (18) Current Residence: Sacramento, CA Occupation: Runway Model Hobbies: Hitting the beach and going to the bar, getting manicures and pedicures, the rest of that s**t. What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: The outdoors. I cannot HANDLE all of it. It's just so disgusting. Bugs are everywhere and it can get soooooooo hot! I f***ing hate it! It's just like, ew ew ew! By the time I take home the million I'll probably have a billion bites on my boobs! Though, if thinks go my way, the bites won't ALL be from bugs... Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: Um, hello, bitch? Isla Barrett! I'm a bitch like her. We both flirt a lot and we both have a nice ass and boobs that'll help charm the boys if our faces won't do the work. Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: I can be catty and I pick fights with anyone--boy, girl, ugly, hot--but meanwhile I'll flirt with the sexiest men I can find. If he has a nice body and face and he's tall and tan or at least just strikes me as hot, he's mine.

Selena Cornett


Name (Age): Selena Cornett (25) Current Residence: San Jose, CA Occupation: Beautician Hobbies: The obvious for someone like me. Shopping, keeping myself beautiful because I'm a bitch but I'm a beautiful bitch and I intend to keep it that way. And then the surprising, fencing. I enjoy it and I can do whatever I want so don't tell me I can't do that. What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: I'm experienced with the outdoors. I'm not a fan of it, but it'll be easy. Ironically, the hardest will be the bugs. I'm prepared for everything out there except for those bitches. Excuse me, they bite and I just can't stand them. Also, my mouth has definitely gotten me in trouble before. I'd be surprised if I didn't get in an argument with someone within the first few days. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: I'm not really like anyone else on Survivor. But if I have to choose one I'd say someone like Winona Kelly. I can't stand these other bitch asses. I am the only bitch allowed here. All other bitches can go themselves. Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: Uh, duh! I'll find someone who actually understands people like me and he or she will be my number one. Next, I'll make sure anyone who pisses me off will be treated horribly and their experience won't be so fun. And I'll find a boy I can count on to be my little...sugardaddy.

Shakur Davbose


Name (Age): Shakur Davbose (25) Current Residence: Tierra Santa, CA Occupation: Spa Receptionist Hobbies: Listening to rap music, hanging out at the coffee shops with my friends, and watching Survivor and Big Brother. What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: The biggest challenge for me will be taming my personality. I was named after legendary rapper Tupac Shakur, and I get a certain sense of confidence from that. I also HATE people who cry and whine about everything. I never have shed a tear since I was a baby, because real gangsters don't cry! Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: I am definitely like Cirie Fields or Michaela Bradshaw. I have the strong and determined mind of Cirie, and I also believe that I am a gangster in an Oprah suit. I am like Michaela because I don't play games with you, and am trying very hard to tame my large personality. Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: My strategy is to just be the full package. I'm not going to hold anythin' back. As the man I was named after once said, "Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that." I'm going to be able to bounce back, from any scenario I face, and will never give up on hope until my torch flame is snuffed by Jeff Probst.

Thomas Dean


Name (Age): Thomas Dean (42) Current Residence: Sedalia, Missouri Occupation: Computer Analyst Hobbies: I like playing chess, playing computer games, playing video games, playing just about any game there is out there that isn't sport related. I also love writing and showing my creativity to the world! What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: I'm more of an indoor type of person so transitioning from the indoors to the outdoors for 39 plus days will be a big struggle for me since I'm used to having electricity and other things that will entertain me. I wouldn't say I'm lazy however I just rather relax indoors than do things outdoors. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: Thinking about it I would probably say Todd Herzog just because he think strategically a lot and so do I. When you play tons of video games and stuff you get a knack for strategy and being able to compromise with others, I hope I can use that to make sure I can win the game and not well um get voted out. Do You Have A Strategy For Winning The Game?: Uh yeah I think really talking to everyone and trying to use their strengths and weaknesses to my advantage will help me out. It's like playing dungeons and dragons where you have to find the enemies weak point and use it so you can destroy them with it. I don't like to say these people are chess pieces and I'm the chess master because it sounds really cocky and I hate to sound cocky.

Virgil Straughn


Name (Age): Virgil Straughn (33) Current Residence: Appleton, WI Occupation: Stand-Up/Improv Comedian Hobbies: Making people laugh, working out, jogging, cycling, playing baseball, hanging out with friends and family, camping, drinking beer, watching TV What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: Is "nothing" a valid answer? (Laughs) I mean, the elements and the challenges will be a breeze since I love being outdoors as it is, and I am also a pretty athletic person. Being a comedian, I do a lot of travelling, so I know what it's like to be away from my family and to have to be resourceful in order to survive. I'm also just naturally someone that people like to be around and have a good time with. Sure, there may be some jerks I never want to see again, but I don't see myself having a problem getting along with most people, nor do I see myself having a problem getting into a good alliance. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: None! I am my own unique person and I plan on playing the game my own way. There's nobody I want to compare myself to... except for the winners when I join that group! (Laughs) Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: I'm just gonna go out there, be myself and make these people laugh while going balls to the wall and playing this game hard! Since I've been doing stand-up now for almost 15 years, I know how to tell the most ludicrous stories while keeping a straight face! I just love it when people come up to me after a show and ask if whatever ridiculous story I told on stage was true! (Chuckles) My key of course to winning this game will just be the fact that I'll always make sure I'm in a good position, and if I'm ever in a pickle, I'll just lie my way out of it, I don't give a s***! Over the years, I've gotten myself to the point where people can't tell by looking at me whether or not I'm lying. Even better for me is the fact that I've been doing improv comedy since high school, so I have tons of experience just making s*** up on the spot and running with it. So yeah, there's not a doubt in my mind that I've got a very good chance of winning this thing, and I am just so excited to start playing the game!

Yanisa Nepinak


Name (Age): Yanisa Nepinak (58) Current Residence: Juneau, AK Occupation: Financial Advisor Hobbies: Taking care of my family, knitting, cooking, camping, fishing (all year round), playing cards, telling jokes, watching Survivor, celebrating my Native American heritage. What Do You Think the Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: Probably keeping up with the younger people in challenges. If there's any reason I may go out early, that would unfortunately be it. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: I consider myself to be the perfect combo of Kel Bronder and Joan Zdrill. Kel was tough as nails, worked her butt off around camp, and never ever gave up, which are all qualities I see in myself. Joan on the other hand was very sweet and caring, just like I am, and she was also a superb strategist like I hope to be! Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: At first, I'm going to work hard around camp and play the part of the sweet, caring, motherly figure. Once I get to the merge though, I plan on causing a little bit of chaos here and there, while doing my very best to simultaneously stay out of the drama. That way, my opponents will be too focused on taking each other out to recognize me as a threat to win. As a result, I will be able to sneak into the finals and claim my million dollar check!
