Kara Newman

 is a contestant from Survivor: Trinidad.

Profile
Name (Age): Kara Newman (31)

Current Residence: Waco, TX

Occupation: Fashion Model

Claim to Fame: I’ve been a successful, high-profile fashion model for almost ten years now! Gettin’ to the level of fame I reached at just 21 years old… that’s harder than winnin’ a footrace against an angry bull! (chuckles)

Inspiration in Life: Ivanka Trump! A lot of people say she and I look similar, which is the highest flattery I’ve gotten… (giggles) Seriously, that woman knows how to run s***, and I have mad respect for that. I might not support all of her father’s actions, but I can applaud somebody who knows how to demand respect and gets s*** done, and Ivanka is just that. (smiles)

Hobbies: Goin’ roller bladin’ with my girlfriend, tryin’ on and reviewin’ the newest designer clothin’ and makeup brands on my YouTube channel, and, of course, watchin’ heaps of Survivor whenever I get the chance!

Pet Peeves: I hate, hate, hate when people complain ‘bout things and don’t take action. I’m not talkin’ ‘bout those protesters or activists or whatever, I have a lot of respect for ‘em for doin’ somethin’, even if I disagree with ‘em. I mean the people that whine on Twitter or Facebook without botherin’ to change their lives for the better. Those people are just plain annoyin’!

3 Words to Describe You: Chatty, cheery, & motivated

If you could bring 3 things onto the island with you, what would you bring and why?: Like, I know it’s all sandy and rocky and all on the island, but I really wanna bring my roller blades since I freakin’ love usin’ ‘em. Second thing would be a hammer to make the shelter buildin’ easier, and since I wanna prove to my tribe I’m useful. Third, a do not disturb sign I can put on the shelter for when I’m takin’ a nap and don’t want anybody to bug me.

SURVIVOR Contestant you are most like: Erica Foley is the f***in’ queen! Like, she was an annoyin’ queen, but she managed to make the chatty girl a freakin’ strategy to win. Tell me that’s not innovative! (laughs) Like, I’ll definitely be tonin’ it down since I get annoyed with the sound of myself talkin’ sometimes, but if my accent or my personality makes people underestimate me, I’m fine with that.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Beyond simply likin’ the show, I’ve kinda wondered how I’d fare out in the wilderness. Plus, goin’ on television is the natural next step for my career, since it could get me noticed by even more brands ‘n’ fashion companies.

Why you will be the Sole Survivor: I’ve been a hard worker all my life, and that’s not gonna stop with Survivor. I’m gonna do whatever I can to snatch that million dollar prize, even if it kills me! (laughs) Plus, I don’t think I’ll come off as a threat, and if I play my cards right, I’ll hopefully make a few key allies that’ll get me to the end of the game.
