Yoshi Ueno

Yoshi Ueno is a contestant from Survivor: Tasmania- Vengeance.

Profile
Name (Age): Yoshi Ueno (39)

Tribe Designation: Pyengana

Current Residence: Kansas City, MO

Occupation: Pharmacist

Claim to Fame: I share the same name as a fictional dinosaur from the Mario series.

Inspiration in Life: It sounds really stupid, but my own name. In Japanese, Yoshi means "The best". Every day, I try to live up to my name and strive to be the best in everything I do.

Hobbies: Reading, writing, playing chess/checkers.

Pet Peeves: People that ask me if I lay eggs every time I swallow something like Yoshi in the Mario series. That joke was funny the first few thousand times I heard it, now it's just gotten old. I'm also not fond of people that don't cover their mouths when they sneeze, cough, etc. I may be a self-professed "germophobe", but I don't think I'm out of line when I say that if you're sick, you shouldn't try to get everyone else sick.

3 Words to Describe You: Smart, analytical, determined.

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why:

1) A chess set.

2) A good book.

3) A big bottle of Purell hand sanitizer.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Definitely Ken Hoang. I'm not the most social or athletic, but I know how to play this game strategically.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To win the title of Sole Survivor and prove to my family and friends that I can play this game well.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I have the strategic mind to get me to day 39. Being a pharmacist, I deal with people all day, so I believe I have enough social skills to get by.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR:As a pharmacist, I not only deal with people, but when filling prescriptions, I have to go through it with a fine-toothed comb to make sure they're getting the right stuff at the right dose. There's a reason that people say "Pharmacists know more than doctors". Not only that; but, I strive to be the best in everything I do. I plan to dominate strategically so that I get myself to the end of this game and win it.
