 is a contestant from Survivor: Successors Vs Socializers Vs Strategists.

Profile
Name (Age): Bernard Abbate (45)

Tribe Designation:

Current Residence: Knoxville, Tennessee

Occupation: Lawyer

Why are you a Socializer?: I love my family, and it sickens me to leave them for many days, but I'm family oriented and that's why I am good with people, as I treat friends like family and don't put down anybody.

Inspiration In Life: My father. He suffered abuse, he was left in the woods for many, many days and his parents abused him as they were offered drugs and went insane. My father took it greatly, though. He found my mother and they married.

Hobbies: My yearly family reunions, of course without my grandparents, as they are not only insane, but dead. It gives us a good bonding session.

Pet Peeves: I really dislike social media, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, anything. Those people believe they have many "friends" but they're just online friends. Technology, you've ruined us.

Reason for Being on Survivor: I want to push myself to my limits. I will be away from my family, but I am older and I want to have an adventure before I retire.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I am very well spoken and very smart. I have a high IQ and I know that I will survive because I am a very open guy, like a teddy bear.
