Name (Age): Tassandra 'T.Love' Huggins (54)

Current Residence: Los Angeles, California

Occupation: R&B Retired Singer

Claim to Fame: Oh man, OH MAN, you got on my nerves, but I still love you I was the lead voice of my group The Bold Queens, we were popular during the 70's, 80's and early 90's and we had a bunch of musical hits.

Hobbies: I know that I look like an old woman, because boy, I'm a freakin' old woman, but I still have the soul of a hoochie mama! (laughs). There's a love of things that I love to do, I sing all the time oh going down the river, you will find my heart; I go with my fellow Bold Queens, Jayla, Becinda and Hina to play poker; my kids, I have four, Layla, Robin, Sean and Benni and they invite to visit some cool places.

Pet Peeves: This is weird, but it's also real, people that hates music, because oh man who doesn't love music? That's so insane, because music is medicine for the soul! And the fact that There's people that have the Audacity to say ugh I hate music that makes me feel mad, really mad!

If You Could Have Three Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: My notebook, I don't want to write my memories or something like that, I take my notebook because I usually find inspiration and that helps me to create new lyrics. Also, baby, I'm not stupid and a lighter is something that can save you, Your tribe has fire, then your tribe will sleep good, the tribe has a nice rest, then the tribe is capable to beat challenges. And finally, oh hum, my sweet wine, a big bottle of wine, wine can put me more happy than normal, but that's amazing! (giggles)

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like (can be my fanon or canon): Three names comes to my mind! First Taj, Taj from Tocantins, we have similar backgrounds, the two of us are singers with powerful Voices, the two of us are fun but also strategic. Sandra, because she's a queen and flips her hair T.Love is a queen too! I always find a way to save my ass at difficult situation, just like Queen Sandra did a lot of times! And finally my sweet and sassy queen Winona from Ivory Coast and Lombok, the two of us are sassy as hell.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I've been a big fan of the show since a long, LOOOOOOONG time, I've seen every single season, I have a photo with Jeff Probst and I kissed him! (giggles), I can name every single castaway that have been on the show, from Queen Sonja to hottie Tommy Sheehan, from people like Hazel to girlies like Haleigh! I want to live the experience, like I said, yeah, I'm old, but I've a young soul!

Why You Will "Survive" SURVIVOR: (sighs) Man, I've been on more difficult situations than this one, I've survive to assaults, to a bunch of fights at bars and I survived three marriages (and I'm surviving the fourth giggles), I can handle every situation that Survivor is capable to throw me, twists, crazy people, arrogant guys, catty girls, my love for Jeff Probst, insects, everything!

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Because I'll put the Con in the Dao BABE! Put me there, a lot of people will underestimate me, they will say that granny is the older one, but oh boy, I can play Survivor like Parvati Shallow, I'm not scare to manipulate, lie, throw people under the bus, but I'll do with a big smile, I'm sending this people out of the game giving them a big hug! At the end they will say, oh yeah, she deserves the title

Manga:

'''Rate you castway's strategic, physical and social game out of 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. Provide a reason why you chose the numbers.'''

Strategic: 8. T.Love knows that a fundamental aspect of Survivor is the skill of read people to know their strengths and weaknesses, this allows her to know who to ally with, who is a threat and when it is a good time to eliminate someone. Supported by her social game she is able to put together the numbers necessary to meet her goal.

Physical: 4. T.Love has the energy of a girl in her 20's but not the skills of one. She has a little bit of overweight, but she tries to keep her health in a good condition. She can compete on physical challenges, but the puzzles are her strenght.

Social: 9. T.Love is a personable woman, like Cirie or Sandra she has a lot of stories and loves to talk and know every person that she meet, probably some people can find a little bit annoying the fact that she sings a lot of time, but she tends to listen to the people and if they don't like something about her, she understand. She's also a hard worker, she's not afraid to get her hands dirty for build a shelter, get water or make some fire, she knows that the team is important too. What could cause your castaway to win? Her social charm mixed with her strategic game. She knows that she's not the strongest woman on the tribe, but she knows that is important to create unbreakable bonds with people in order to protect her and give her a vote in the end. What could cause your castaway to lose? Her physical game, if she's surrounded by a bunch of athletes, she's the obvious target due to her age and physical condition, while this one is not deplorable, there's people that can play a better physical game than T.Love.

What kind of castaways would your castaways align with? T.Love can work with every kind of castaway, but if there's someone that she likes to align with the most are the young girls because she looks them like daughters that she can take under her wing.

What kind of characters would your castaways avoid or be enemies with? Challenge beasts, because she knows that these kind of players can send her home with facility.

Please provide a small paragraph of backstory. Tassandra T-Love Huggins was born in a poor neighborhood, which allowed her to know the importance of hard work, this helped her fight for her achievements, which led her to form her group 'The Bold Queens' when she was young and likewise helped her get a college degree at age 30. Having the ability and empathy to know streetsmart people and booksmart people helped Tassandra move easily in any kind of circumstance. At 33, she married her first husband, Miller, with whom she had two children, followed by a second marriage to Joaquin St. James, with his daughter Layla, and some time later she met James McCarthy, her third husband with whom she had her fourth child; after James died, Tassandra met a pianist named Rodney Hiller, with whom she married two years ago.

'''Do you consent to having your manga altered (such as natural hair shades, eye colours, custom clothing/face details) if your castaway is cast? (under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will this impact your character's chances of being cast)''' Sure!
