Jacob Gigley

 is a contestant from Survivor: Maluku Islands.

Profile
Name: Jacob Gigley

Age: 26

Current residence: Chesapeake, VA

Occupation: Survey Statistician

Tribe designation: Akal

Three words to describe you: Thorough, Observant, and Empathetic

Hobbies: I rather enjoy solving puzzles, like sudoku or crossword puzzles. They help me pass the time. I also enjoy getting to know people, as my job requires me to be a rather personable person.

Pet peeves: Ignorance. You have the right to be active in politics and in the direction your town or country turn, so why would you not try to mold the place in which you live to the way you most see fit?

Personal claim to fame: I once completed a survey (commissioned by my work) in the Los Angeles area while on a trip with my girlfriend and ended up taking the opinion and having a rather weighty debate about gun control with a celebrity. We might have had differing views, but it was certainly rather interesting to get to know someone you usually only see on a screen.

If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why?: How to Win Friends and Influence People, A cell phone to call my girlfriend, and a high-quality fishing rod.

Reason for being on Survivor: I'm actually a superfan of Survivor, and have dreamt of being on this show since I was child. I've been applying ever since I've been able, and now that I'm here? I won't take it for granted.

Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor?: I believe that I have the mental capacity and the people skills to make it to the end, not to mention my knowledge of the show will help me manuever my way to the Final Three as well. Also, while I might not be the most physically fit, I'm certainly not a stick or overweight, either. I can hold my own in challenges if need be.
