User blog comment:CambodiaAaron/Survivor: Honduras CONTESTANT APPLICATIONS!/@comment-26485526-20170916210922

Name Catherine Lynyshyn

Age: 50

Current Residence: Minot, ND

Occupation: Family Lawyer

Personal Claim to Fame: Having represented well over five hundred clients throughout the 20 plus years that I have been an attorney.

Inspiration in Life: Sweetie, I am my own inspiration! I grew up in an old-school farm family where I was merely expected to grow up, find a husband, have some babies, and work in the kitchen my whole life. By the time I got to high school though, I was like “Screw that! I’m going to make something of myself!” So, I worked my ass off, paid my own way through law school, and now look at me! I’m now a successful Family Lawyer who has been practicing for over 20 years!

Hobbies: Playing piano, spending time with my family, seeing horror movies with the girls, reading

Pet Peeves: Misogynists are most certainly at the top of that list! Just because I have a pair of boobs and a vagina doesn’t mean that I am any less of a person, or that I’m only good as a mother, or for sex, or whatever. On the flip side though, I also can’t stand people, usually women, that use their gender as leverage to get what they want or to guilt trip people.

 3 Words to Describe You: Passionate, Competitive, Sassy

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I guess the best match for me would be Destiny Holloway of Seychelles. We’re both successful lawyers, and I admit that I can be a bit of a bitch like she is at times.

Reason for Competing: Being a successful and respected family lawyer, I’m pretty well off in life. So, I’m mostly out here because I’m a fan of the game and I want to see how far I can get.

Why will your contestant win? Catherine is ready to play the game and do whatever it takes to win. She is an extremely competitive person that won't settle for anything less than getting to the end. Being a Family Lawyer for over 20 years, Catherine has dealt with all types of people and knows how to talk to them and how to persuade them into doing what she thinks is best. Catherine also knows how to keep her emotions in check and think logically in almost every situation as she is no stranger to dramatic cases in which her client can get emotional/distressed, especially if it involves the custody of children. She is also no stranger to dealing with divorce cases in which her client's soon-to-be ex drags it out for as long as possible, seemingly determined to make her client's life a living hell. Catherine knows she's not the most athletic person, to say the least, so she's prepared to scratch and claw her way through the pre-merge phase of the game. As long as she makes it to the merge, where challenge strength no longer matters, there is no doubt in her mind that she's going to win.
