Profile
Name (Age): Randall “Randy” Davies

Tribe Designation: (Royals)

Current Residence: Providence, RI

Occupation: Psychologist

Claim to Fame: Becoming one of the most accomplished and respected psychologists in my field and in my home state of Rhode Island. My fascination with the human brain and the way it works has helped me to make a decent living for myself and my name is pretty well-known among other psychologists.

Inspiration in Life: This is an oddball answer, but the human brain. It’s so amazing how a bundle of cells can be so complex and can do so many different things. The beauty of the human brain has inspired me reach my fullest potential, as I wouldn’t want the beautiful organ in my head to go to waste.

Hobbies: When I’m free, watching Survivor is super interesting, because I can look at any of the contestants and their actions on the show and psychoanalyze them to see why they act the way they act. An erratic, emotional player might suffer from trust issues or have had a rough childhood, for example. It’s really fun, and is a huge reason for why I applied to the show.

Pet Peeves: I hate when people take things for granted. We as a species have been given so many gifts already, and many people have even more gifts in the form of wealth and a stable income. It’s awful when people act like these things are givens in their lives, when they could be taken away at a moment’s notice. Be more appreciative.

3 Words to Describe You: Introspective, insightful, and intelligent

What Makes You a “Royal”: I suppose with my rather traditional career and the way I got where I am, my life isn’t all that exciting compared to some people. I’m the textbook definition of a successful psychologist, and that’s really all there is to it. Nothing about me is all that rebellious or untraditional.

Who is More Suited for Survivor: Royals or Rebels: It’s easily the Royals, no question. From watching and analyzing the show, it’s clear that the loud, rebellious, and out-there players, who would fall under the “Rebels” label, usually flounder at some point in the game, while the more collected “Royals” will do better and almost always win. The craziness of the Rebels certainly makes for better TV, but I doubt the winner will come from that tribe.

Reason for Being on Survivor: As I said, I love to watch the show and psychoanalyze the characters as they are portrayed, so being there in person to do so is even more compelling of an opportunity for me. I can’t wait to start the game and approach my strategy with a psychologist’s lens. I’m interested in meeting so many new people and seeing how their backgrounds differ and affect their personalities.

Why You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I’m a psychologist, so I can tell what people are thinking and why they are thinking those things. In such a strategic game, having a good understanding of how the brain works is imperative to manipulating others to get what you want. I will dominate strategically while appearing as some crazy old man, so nobody will even see it coming. I know when I’m being lied to and if I’m in trouble, and I know how to manipulate people to get out of trouble.
