Bonnie Thomas is a contestant from Survivor: Nauru.

Profile
Name (Age): Bonnie Thomas (24)

Tribe Designation: Meneng

Current Residence: Madison, WI

Occupation: P.E. Teacher

Claim to Fame: Getting a medal on the school I work for as the coolest teacher. I live for being a teacher to those kids, so to get that kind of feedback, it’s super awesome. It really does melt my heart, it makes me feel like what I’m doing is the right thing.

Inspiration in Life: My inspiration is my deceased grandma. She was such a sweetheart and such a beloved woman, her funeral was one of the saddest things I’ve seen in my entire life, even if she fought hard against the cancer that got her. She was especially kind to her grandchildren and to children in general, which made me decide to follow a profession where I could be around children as well, because I get that love for kids from her.

Hobbies: Running, playing sports, being with my mom and dad, working out, being with my students, eating healthy.

Pet Peeves: As I love children I tend to dislike people that think of themselves as too mature, to serious to do this and that...it’s just boring! I really dislike corruption and vileness, these are two things I can’t stand for, and when someone messes with one my students.

3 Words to Describe You: Joyful, Athletic, Loyal

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I think I really did like the season where J.T. won. He was such a good player and he showed everyone it’s possible to win playing a very honest and loyal game, and that’s exactly what I’m aiming for on Survivor, to show my students you can be a good person and still win this show.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I actually really like watching it, one of the few things I watch on TV, and my students really motivated me to apply even more. I guess the experience and the money combined is what I’m looking for, and also the chance to prove my point about honest winners.

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I’m a strong lady that will definitely surprise people out there. I have this happy and joyful exterior but on the inside I’m hard to break. I do get emotional sometimes, but that does not disqualify me in any way or form. I’m still a strong independent human being.

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: As I said, I’m coming in trying to prove a point about there being no need to lie or cheat to get the title of sole survivor. I think in the end people will respect the choices I made along the way, and my loyalty and honesty will definitely help me as well.
