​Name (Age): Brian Dahl (28) ​Current Residence: New Orleans, Lousianna

Occupation: Body Modifier

​Personal Claim to Fame: Dropping out of College to pursue my passion for art.

​Inspiration in Life: I don't really think about that honestly, I'm more of a "in the now" kind of guy. I do what I need to do and enjoy myself doing it. I've never really thought of anyone as an inspiration.

​Hobbies: Reading, Writing, Working on my art, solving riddles and puzzles and working out, I like challenging myself and staying in shape. Oh yeah, and Metal crafting, Most of my piercings are hand made.

​Pet Peeves: People who give up or say, "I hate that" without even trying. You can grow as a human being if you limit yourself.

​Three words to Describe You: Fun, free spirit

​​SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: Joe Anglim, I like his attitude about things. I'm coming out here to have fun and make a million dollars. I'm definitely the "No-Collar" guy who just wants to have a good time and see where it gets me.

​Reason for Being on SURVIVOR​: I love challenges, and going out to an unfamiliar Island with nothing but the clothes on my back sounds like the biggest challenge out the. It sounds like a blast! Recently I was diagnosed with a condition called Macular Degeneration, An eye disease the destroys your vision over time, (Hence the new glasses) If I win the million dollars I plan to use it to get retinal surgery and then use the remainder of my winnings to help myself and my family through life. Nothing too extravagant, I just want to give back to all the people who've been there for me in life.

​Why you think you'll "survive" SURVIVOR: I hope to get by on my social game. I have a decent chance in a physical game, but I don't want to stand out as a big threat. I was in the Boy Scouts when I was young and have even practiced making fire with my Glasses at home. Hopefully my tribe finds me to be indispensable until it's too late to get rid of me.

Why you think you'll be the SOLE SURVIVOR: In my line of work looking cool and acting cool are just as important as making your clients comfortable with your presence. You need to be approachable and likable, but distant enough to keep things professional if things go wrong. Be friendly, but not their friend. I think this will give me an edge socially, compared to other castaways, some of whom have never worked a customer service job, much less one that involves drunk dudes asking for "Personal Work." I can handle mental stress better than almost anyone.
