Orselina Perkins

 is a contestant from Survivor: Ivory Coast.

Profile
Name (Age): Orselina Perkins (24)

Tribe Designation: Daloa

Current Residence: Cambridge, Massachusetts

Occupation: Receptionist

Claim to Fame: I'm very proud of my Italian heritage. I supposedly make the best ravioli ever. My mom told me it's better than hers, and she's been making them since she was little!

Inspiration in Life: US War Veterans who put their lives on the line every day so that we could live ours in peace. They forced me to stop taking life for granted and made me really appreciate what I have.

Hobbies: Cooking, shopping with friends, coin collecting

Pet Peeves: People who call me dumb- I may be a little naive at times but I'm certainly not dumb- ignorance about Italy and Italian culture; I've met people who honestly think Italian food begins and ends with pizza and think we say "Mamma Mia!" all the time because of the Mario Brothers. It's really frustrating!

3 Words to Describe You: Girly, polite, selfless

If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: 1) An Italian flag to celebrate my background 2) A photo of my family- Family is huge in Italian culture, and we're very close 3) Some spices- let's face it, rice is bland as hell and will get boring after 39 days!

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I'd say Darrah of Pearl Islands because people underestimated her as a player, and she ended up being taken out as one of the biggest threats left in the game.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I've been a fan of the show for a while now, and the money wouldn't hurt.

Why You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR: I'm a polite person who won't rub people the wrong way, and I can cook, clean, build shelters and make friends!

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I'll win Survivor because I think people will underestimate me as a girly girl who can be taken advantage of. I'm definitely not that kind of person, and if people think I am, they'll be the ones who get taken advantage of!
