Here's a third one because why not?

Name (Age): Bradshaw Nairn (25)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: Yankton, SD

Occupation: Veterinary Technologist

Personal Claim to Fame: I guess that would have to be my love for animals. I remember one time, I got into a car accident because I swerved to miss a stray cat that wandered into my lane. When I went to make the claim, the lady told me that next time I should just hit the cat. Well, my girlfriend just rolled her eyes and was like (imitates girlfriend’s voice) “Him? Hit a cat?! Puh-lease! This guy would run over a human before any animal!” (Laughs)

Inspiration in Life: I’d have to say my mother for sure because I credit her for instilling me with my love for animals. I grew up having lots of dogs and cats, and I remember that my mother would always make sure the stray cats around our house would always have fresh food and water, even in the winter. Speaking of winter, she built this little house outside for the strays and filled it with hay so that they never had to sleep outside. I asked her once why she didn’t just take the strays to the Humane Society, and she said she didn’t take them because the Humane Society will sometimes even kill healthy, adoptable animals if they’re too crowded. So yeah, she always made sure to take care of animals, and here I am working as a vet tech with the same kind of love for animals that she has.

Hobbies: Playing with my cats and dogs, hanging out with friends, playing my trumpet, going to church, watching movies, playing hockey.

Pet Peeves: Does it surprise you that I can’t stand people that abuse or neglect animals? (Chuckles) I mean, I just never understood that. If you can’t afford to feed your cat or dog, DON’T F***ING GET ONE! As for those people that actually physically hurt their pet, I think you must be some special kind of psychopath in order to assault something much smaller than you. It just sickens me to no end!

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I would say Tai Trang because of our love for animals… but Tai’s a complete and utter moron that got on my nerves so badly both times he played, so that’s not happening. (Chuckles) I guess I’ll say that I’m a mix of Aras Baskauskas and Stephen Fishbach because I have Aras’ compassionate side as well as Stephen’s strategic side.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want to win the money so that my girlfriend and I can move out of our apartment and into a nice house.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’ll survive the game because I know how to get along with all types of people as well as the fact that I’ll be a huge help to my tribe both around camp and in challenges. At the same time though, I also won’t be afraid to make moves every now and again if necessary to keep myself in the game.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I’m not just going to sit on my ass and let people play the game around me. I’m well aware of the fact that I’m going to need to take initiative and make moves in order to have any chance of being respected by the jury. At the same time, I also think that I’ll have the ability to develop good relationships with people so that if I do end up in the finals, the jury would feel good about giving me their vote from both a game perspective as well as a human perspective.
