Name (Age):  Madison Rodburg (36)

Current Residence:  Benton Harbor, MI

Occupation:  ​​Social Worker

Hobbies:  Walking on the beach, Aerobics, Going to the Gym, Hanging out with friends, and Watching classic movies

Pet Peeves:  Judgmental people. I hate when people make assumptions about others based on how they look or what they do. Not everything is what it seems. For all you know, the person you see wearing the rags and pushing the shopping cart is a famous movie star practicing for a role in a new movie, but instead you assume they're a homeless person who's out looking for food. People have assumed many things about me throughout my life and I have had to work hard to try and overcome these assumptions

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:17pt;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0in;border:1ptwindowtext;border-image:none;color:black;font-family:"&quot",serif;font-size:10.5pt;">Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: ​ <span style="margin:0px;padding:0in;border:1ptwindowtext;border-image:none;color:black;font-family:"&quot",serif;font-size:10.5pt;">I'm on Survivor because I've had many people tell me "Oh Madison, you'll never be able to be on Survivor. You'd be voted off first! You wouldn't stand a chance". Well these words just fueled my desire to prove them wrong and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:17pt;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0in;border:1ptwindowtext;border-image:none;color:black;font-family:"&quot",serif;font-size:10.5pt;">Confessional: <span style="margin:0px;padding:0in;border:1ptwindowtext;border-image:none;color:black;font-family:"&quot",serif;font-size:10.5pt;"> "This game is so much more to me than winning the million dollars, although that would be nice. I'm here to prove that no matter who you are, you can do whatever you set your mind to and right now, my mind is set on winning Survivor. I'm not afraid to make moves the benefit me and me only because at the end of the day, this game is very important to me and I will do what is necessary to win. I think a lot of people are going to underestimate me in this game and that's fine with me. Not only will it be extra fuel for me to do well in the game, but by the time they realize how much of a threat I really am, I'll already be at the Final Tribal Council and they'll be sitting on the jury"

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:17pt;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0in;border:1ptwindowtext;border-image:none;color:black;font-family:"&quot",serif;font-size:10.5pt;">Strategy/Gameplay: <span style="margin:0px;padding:0in;border:1ptwindowtext;border-image:none;color:black;font-family:"&quot",serif;font-size:10.5pt;"> Madison plans to sit back in the pre-merge stage and let some of the other more threatening contestants take each other out while she secretly gathers a small army of people who she feels she can trust and try and gain the majority for the merge stage. She is someone who will try and play as honest a game as she can but she understands that sometimes she's going to have to backstab and betray people and she is not afraid to do just that. She plans to get people to see her as the older lady who isn't a threat and is someone they can use to further their own game, while in reality she will be a threat in challenges and a major strategic force. She also wants to connect with people and she will use her skills as a social worker to do just that so that the people will award her the million dollars at the end of the game.

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:17pt;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0in;border:1ptwindowtext;border-image:none;color:black;font-family:"&quot",serif;font-size:10.5pt;">Other Important Information: <span style="margin:0px;padding:0in;border:1ptwindowtext;border-image:none;color:black;font-family:"&quot",serif;font-size:10.5pt;"> Madison is only 5' 4", and throughout her life, many people have judged her based on her height, which is why she does not like people judging others. It is a very touchy subject with her and if someone uses her height as an attempt to insult her, she will not be afraid to put them in their place. She is very sympathetic towards those who are being judged by others and will often try and give them a shoulder to cry on.
