Contestant You Are Most Like: Christine Shields from Survivor: South Pacific who is an English teacher like myself, she did really well for herself despite her age and that must be commended.

Reason For Being On Survivor: I want to prove that older women can do anything they set their mind to. Across the world we are the most overlooked demographic out there. It’s about time people started seeing what we can really do.

Why You’ll Win: I am a tough woman. I was never sipping coffee and tea while working as a “social media manager”. I worked for my career, and my living. Raising a large family in a small town ain’t easy. I succeeded that is something that shows the type of person I am. I’m not just a mom, I’m a super mom.
