Profile
Name (Age): Layla Alpento (40)

Current Residence: Roanoke, VA

Occupation: Beauty Salon Owner

Claim to Fame: I’m one of the four point five star reviewed salons in Roanoke! I’ve done a lot of peoples hair, and nails at my salon, and it’s super fun to do! I love making women feel pretty when they feel down or just want to talk!

Inspiration in Life: Nikita Dragun! She is such a beautiful woman, who is transgendered, and that takes guts to reveal on YouTube, because a lot of people won’t except you, but thousands of others will. She’s an inspiration all right.

Hobbies: I love shopping for new clothing, because it makes me feel new, and polished. I love make-up because it makes me feel special! And, I love hair because I can style it anyway I want it to be styled!

Pet Peeves: People, who don’t think good about the LGBTQ+ community. That community is full of tons, and tons of friendly people who have a lot of different quirks! It’s fun going to pride parades to experience what LGBTQ+ people do there!

3 Words to Describe You: Empathetic, sassy, & bubbly

SURVIVOR Contestant you are most like: Serena Garland! I love, love, love her! I met her at a meet and greet, and she was the nicest person ever! She played a good, solid game!

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want to win the money, so I can move somewhere new, like New York, or Los Angeles, so I can start a new salon there, because I want to experience new cultures, and different people!

Why you will be the Sole Survivor: I guess my strategic mind. I’ve been watching Survivor since I was twenty-five, and I know tons of the different strategies people do! It’s fun to watch people get into crazy chaos!
