Carrie Kendrick

 is a contestant from Survivor: Mentawai.

Survivor: Mentawai
Age: 19

Hometown: Dallas, TX

Current residence: Dallas, TX

Occupation: Waitress

Hobbies: Riding horses! (Giggles) I wouldn't call myself a horse girl, but I think I fit the stereotype.

Pet peeves: People who lie unnecessarily, people who are fake and mean. Bullies.

Three words to describe you: Friendly, honest, and open.

What is your personal claim to fame? I haven't really... Done much, at all. I guess making it on Survivor!

Who or what is your inspiration in life? My Meema. She's my mom's mom and she's super sweet. I wouldn't be the woman I am without her. She took care of me when my Daddy died and basically became my new parent.

If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? Email or something so I could keep in touch with people and ask for advice, a Magic 8 Ball so I could be like Rob and offer my tribe superstitious guidance (Laughs), and my horse Tempest.

Which Survivor contestant are you the most like? I wanna play like Sugar from Gabon. I'll be really nice to everyone and honest, but I'm not gonna be afraid to take over the game when the time is right. She was huge that season and she was a necessary vote for everyone. That's how I'm trying to be.

What's your reason for being on Survivor? I wanna show that a good guy can still win! It's been a while since someone's played the game clean. Plus, I've spent my whole life in Texas, how often do you get to go somewhere like this?

Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? People are gonna keep me around because I'm a loyal number and they don't need to worry about me backstabbing them. I'll let other people do the dirty work for me and get everyone hatin' them, and then I'll vote out my competition and beat the people at the end! But I'm not afraid to make big moves -- it might look like I'm playing for other people, but I'm 100% playing for myself.
