Profile
Name (Age): Anu Abdulle (26)

Tribe Designation: Wai Wai

Current Residence: Idaho Falls, ID

Occupation: Waitress

Claim to Fame: Gaining my American citizenship is my proudest accomplishment thus far. I left Chad when I was 17 and came here as a refugee. I worked long and hard, and gained my citizenship a few years ago. Now I’m a waitress and going to school so I can make something of my life and give back to the country that helped give me a fresh start.

Inspiration in Life: That’s gotta be my best friend, Hailey. She was one of the first people I met when I got off the plane in Seattle and she really took me under her wing, so to speak, when it came to adapting to life here in America. I’ve since gotten married and now life in Idaho with my husband, Darnell, but I definitely credit her with helping learn all the skills I learned since moving to America.

Hobbies: I’m quite a social person, so anything that involves going out and meeting new people, I’m usually up for. I love going to the bar or nightclub, pool halls, bowling, and also baseball and soccer games. I also work out quite a bit ‘cause I wanna start training to get into the police academy soon. I also quite enjoy just laying on my bed and listening to music. I’ll listen to almost anything, except that crap people call “Country.”

Pet Peeves: Closed-minded people is probably the main thing that gets on my nerves. Life is full of opportunities to learn and grow, and it baffles me that there are people that are closed off to experiencing new things and won’t even hear other points of view. I also can’t stand looking at anything that’s broken. If someone else won’t fix it or throw it away, I’ll do that myself, thank you. Lastly, my favourite thing about America by far is the abundance of air conditioning. In the years I’ve been here, I’ve come to hate when people don’t have it, or don’t use it in the summer.

3 Words to Describe You: Driven, Persistent, Intelligent

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: Hazel Barellias from Eyre Peninsula is a police officer, and I want to go into the police academy. Plus, she also played exactly the kind of game I want to play, and she won.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: As I said, I wanna get into the police academy and winning this game will definitely give me the funds to do that… and also to buy good quality contact lenses ‘cause those things aren’t cheap and I hate having to wear glasses

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I lived in Chad for the first 17 years of my life and it’s full of corruption and poverty, and overall just not a good place to live, hence why I got my butt outta there as soon as I could. But if I can survive that for 17 years, I can survive this game no problem.

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: Who’s gonna stop me? (Shrugs) I’m confident in my abilities and I’m ready to go out there and give it everything I’ve got. I’m not going to be afraid to lie, cheat, steal, manipulate… you name it. I came out here with a purpose, that purpose was to win a million dollars. I’m not about to just leave with anything less than that.
