Name (Age): ​Ember Budding (23)

Tribe: N/A

Hometown: ​Aberdeen, South Dakota

Occupation: ​Mortician

What's your claim to fame?: ​Being able to stay positive in such a morbid job. Every day I have to deal with dead bodies and crying families and it absolutely breaks my heart to see the pain these people have to go through when seeing a dead loved one. However, I've never developed a morbid attitude where I ramble on about how we're all going to die one day. I'm able to keep my positive outlook on life and be happy every day I am on this earth.

Hobbies: ​Watching TV, hanging out with friends and family, listening to peppy music and dancing my heart out (laughs)​

Pet Peeves: ​Pessimists. I don't want to listen to people tell me how much life sucks and that it doesn't matter in the end; I already have to deal with negativity in work so I don't need you bringing people down.

Why will you "survive" Survivor?: ​My job requires me to socially connect with every one of my clients and I believe that will help me form bonds with fellow contestants. However, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, and if I have to play a little dirty, I'm totally okay with that.

Why will you be the Sole Survivor: ​​I'm someone who isn't afraid to play how I wanna play. Sure I'm a positive person, but that doesn't mean I'm your average young airhead whose main goal is to make sure everyone has a good time. I'm here to win. I'll play nice as long as it works for me, but if I need to play dirty and blindside an ally or make a huge move, I'm not about to just walk away from it. I'll grab the bull by the horns because I'm not afraid to do what I need to in order to win.
