Name (Age): Grace Deerman (24)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: Dallas, Texas

Occupation: Cosplay Artist

Personal Claim to Fame: Opening my own online store to make and sell all the costumes I make.

Inspiration in Life: My Grandma! she's the one who taught me how to sew and how to use makeup. She was always encouraging me throughout my life, whether it was my artistic pursuits or my hobbies. Without her I wouldn't have discovered how mush I love doing what I do.

Hobbies: Sewing, Drawing, Video Games, Playing with Costume Makeup and Modeling.

Pet Peeves: People who pretend to understand my hobbies. Okay, so I like talking to people, and I love talking to people who share my interests, but if you don't then that's perfectly fine! I like people more when they're themselves more than when they try and impress me.

Three Words to Describe You: Fun, Positive, Motivated

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I don't know. I try to just be me, more than thinking about who I'm like, sorry.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: It just looks like so much fun! I love the show, the games and people have always interested me and I'm glad to be a part of it. The money is also a factor, I could really use it to help me with material costs and I could also use it to make more things to help my business and hobbies.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I'm a good middle ground player I think. I've definitely got the social skills to help me form relationships. Some people make think that because of my profession that I'm a weak girly girl, but I grew up in Texas and my dad was a marine so I know how to hunt and survive, plus when I make armor I make actual armor and wear it, so I'm a lot stronger than I look.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I don't see myself being a target very early on. I know those words have, "First boot," written all over them, But I don't. I'm confident in my ability to form relationships with people and earn my place in the tribe, but I'm not so over confident in my abilities to get cocky. I'll always be trying to keep myself out of the spotlight for the most part. I think I have the strength and skills to form a good alliance that can get me to the end, and when I face the Jury I know I can speak up and show them why I deserve to be the winner.
