Allan Flores

Allan Flores is a contestant from Survivor: Mozambique.

Profile
Name (Age): Allan Flores (29)

Tribe Designation: Makhuwa

Current Residence: Knoxville, TN

Occupation: Firefighter

Claim to Fame: Following in my late father’s footsteps and becoming a firefighter for the City of Knoxville. Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted a job that involved helping people in some way, and my father was always a very proud firefighter. Unfortunately, cancer took his life six years ago. But it was at that moment that I decided that I needed to honour his memory and become a firefighter myself, and I am so glad that I made that decision.

Inspiration in Life: Again, that would be my father because it was his passion for helping people, and for firefighting in particular that ultimately inspired me to become a firefighter myself and follow in his footsteps.

Hobbies: Partying, drinking beer, playing baseball, spending time with my girlfriend, Joanie, playing with my dog, Bowser

Pet Peeves: For the most part anyway, I’m not a huge fan of a lot of this political correctness bulls***, and people policing what we can and can’t say because it’s (uses finger quotes) “too offensive.” That being said though, I think that people that joke about or make fun of mental illness are worse than any social justice moron that goes around telling people that “Merry Christmas” is offensive. I say that because there are so many mentally ill people in this world that don’t get the help they need because of the stigma surrounding mental illness, and that’s just not right. However, the absolute worst people in my opinion are the ones that drink and drive! Not only are you putting your own life at risk when you drive drunk, but you also endanger the lives of everyone around you! I just have zero tolerance for that kind of stupidity, and zero respect for anyone that thinks driving drunk is even slightly okay!

3 Words to Describe You: Friendly, athletic, witty

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: Well, the first two things would be a large case of beer and a working fridge to keep the beer cold! I mean yeah, you don’t need alcohol to have fun, but it certainly helps… right?! (Chuckles) The fridge would also be great for the tribe to keep the food fresh in case we don’t eat it for periods of time. For the third thing, I’d have to say lots of coffee, because let’s just say I’m not the most pleasant person in the world when I don’t get my morning coffee. (Giggles)

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I can definitely relate quite a bit to Adam from Millennials vs. Gen-X since his mother had cancer while he played the game. I know my Dad’s been gone for a few years now, but cancer took him too, so I definitely could relate to him in a lot of ways. I also think that Adam played a great game, and he won every single jury vote, so if I could accomplish what he did, I think that would be awesome!

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: The main reason I’m here is to win the money for my family. Family’s always been the most important thing in my life, and I know that if I won this game, the million dollars would change their lives in so many ways!

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I’ll survive this game because I am one tough S.O.B. (Laughs) I’ve been running directly into fire and saving people for a few years now, so there’s no way the elements are going to break me! Not only that, but as I said, the main reason I’m here is for my family. So thinking of them will also keep me going.

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: I will be the Sole Survivor because I’m not going to be afraid to make moves to get rid of anyone that stands in my way of winning the million dollars! Of course, my ultimate goal is to make enough friends and get to the end having built strong social relationships with the people on the jury. But at the end of the day, I don’t care who I have to get rid of if it means getting me just that much closer to the million dollar cheque.
