Name (Age): ​Wesley Collins (26)

​Current Residence: ​Overland Park, KS

Occupation: ​Pro-Poker Player

​Personal Claim to Fame: ​Coming out to my family around four years ago. My parents, especially my father, were raised in a very Christian household where the chance of them attending a gay wedding is as likely as a serial killer going to heaven (​laughing). It took me a while to have the courage to actually come out as gay, but I'm really happy I was able to.

​Inspiration in Life: ​My mother, for being the first person I told when I came out. She knew that everyone should be accepted as normal human beings no matter what color, religion, or sexual orientation, and she's without a doubt, my best friend. She puts others before herself, and I'm so thankful to have her as my mother.

​Hobbies: ​Playing Chess, Soccer, Track, and Listening to Music (Once I begin fangirling over Ariana Grande, I can't stop!)

​Pet Peeves: ​People who demean or bully others, and people who aren't able to accept other people's opinions. I also can't stand those who pick on others for their weight. it's their choice what they want to do with their body, not yours!

​Three words to Describe You: ​Compassionate, Caring, and Single

​​SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: ​Oh boy (​laughing) To be honest, I don't really know who I'd relate myself to. I always believed that I'm my own person, and I just don't see any of the previous contestants having the same personality.

​Reason for Being on SURVIVOR​: ​I want to see how I'd do in a game like Survivor ​where social skills is the #1 element to win the game. You have to make the right friendships with the right people, and I'm really interested to see how the other contestants on my tribe are.

​Why you think you'll "survive" SURVIVOR: ​I really hope the weather doesn't mess up my hair (​laughing) I'm only joking. When I was a kid, I actually was an Eagle Scout, and I was known for being able to start a fire using nothing but sticks after only three weekends, in addition, I learned swimming when I was five years old, and I won gold in my High School's "Student Olympics" for track & field, against a senior (I was a sophomore when I won).

​Why you think you'll be the SOLE SURVIVOR: ​I want to keep my physical capabilities as low as possible, whilst still being able to hold my own in challenges. I want to make sure the jury views me as a decent competitor and an overall satisfying winner, but I'll be sure not to be the break-out character too early in the game. Socially, I want to form bonds with as many people as I can, but I also worry that it could come back to bite me. I think I'll be ready for this game after a long time of watching it. (smiling)
