Profile
Name (Age): Brianna Foy (25)

Tribe Designation: Rocha

Current Residence: Santa Rosa, CA

Occupation: Creative Writing Student

Claim to Fame: I haven't really done anything that interesting with my life yet that would warrant being listed as a "claim to fame". But if you're asking me what I'm known for, I guess that would be my writing. I've got about five novels going right now and about 20 different ideas for novels in my head. I haven't finished one yet though because I write when the characters speak to me and want me to tell their story. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do much actual writing out here. So hopefully none of them get too mad at me during this game! (Laughs)

Inspiration in Life: I can't really think of anyone that I pattern my life after. I'm my own person and don't strive to be like anybody else. I guess if I had to pick someone, it would be Jesus Christ because he sacrificed his life for us.

Hobbies: As I've mentioned, I do a lot of writing! In fact, I actually tell people that when I get out of school, I want to be a "homeless writer!" (Laughs) Hey, I have an Uncle that owns a publishing firm in Chicago, so it could work out for me! Beyond that though, I also: help run my church's youth ministry, read comic books, go camping, study for school, and watch a lot of anime.

Pet Peeves: Bad grammar is definitely up there. Call me a “Grammar Nazi" all you want; but, as someone who majors in English, and is critiqued on that stuff all the time, looking at poorly structured sentences and misused/misspelled words just irritates me so much! Another big pet peeve for me is when people say “Can you help me?” I respond with “What do you need help with?” and they say “Just come and help me!” First of all, what was the point of asking the question? Second of all, if they refuse to tell me what they need help with, how do I know they don’t want me to help them hide a dead body or something?

3 Words to Describe You: I guess I'll have to go with "creative", "writer", and "sarcastic".

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why: First and foremost, my notepad and a pen! You never know when you're going to get inspiration to write! Besides, I don't want my characters getting too mad at me for not writing them! I guess I would also like to bring some toilet paper, for obvious reasons. For the third thing, I'll have to go with either glasses or a magnifying glass to start a fire.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: This is kind of embarrassing, but I actually don't know too much about this game. From what I've seen though, I don't recall there being anyone like me that has played this game. So, let's just say I'm unique. (Giggles)

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want to win this game for the money! Just in case being a homeless writer doesn't bring in a lot of money right away, I'll certainly need some of that cash to stay afloat!

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I may not know a lot about this game specifically, but I'm quite competitive and really enjoy strategy games. From what I've seen, this game requires a lot of strategy, so I should be able to find my way quite nicely. I also know enough about surviving in the wilderness to help whatever group I'm with last as long as we need to.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: As I've said before, I am very competitive and really enjoy strategy games. Not only that, but I am determined to win that money, so I'll do whatever it takes to get to the end. I don't care who's throat I have to cut. If they stand in my way, they've got to go!
