 is a contestant from Survivor: Aurora

Profile
Name (Age): Corey Briggs (31) Tribe Designation: Tuhinga Current Residence: Hattiesburg, Mississippi Claim To Fame: I mean being a firefighter is enough of a claim to fame that y’all will get from me. I’m a modest individual so being able to save lives from fires or to a lesser extent save someone’s pet from a tree means a whole lot to me. I just like helping people in general that’s why I became a firefighter, and I really enjoy doing it, so if I were to become famous for something it would be helping people by doing my job. Inspiration In Life: I’m a momma’s boy at heart ever since my pa passed away of cancer after I dropped out of high school to take care of the family. I was afraid it would affect ma strongly that she did something she would regret however she stayed strong and pushed through the unfortunate death in the family which I was really happy to see. That’s why she’s my biggest inspiration since she’s always been strong my entire, and been a shoulder to cry on when things got rough in my life. Hobbies: I like to go out jogging every morning with my girlfriend Sammy just to get out of our apartment and stay physically fit. I also like hanging out with my buddies from the firehouse at the local bar watching whatever sports game is on that night. I mean my work isn’t a hobby but a lot of my time is taken up by being a firefighter since you have to be ready 24/7 since fires can happen anytime of day or night. Pet Peeves: I would say ignorance since when people first see me they think I’m some sort of country “hick” or somethin’ like that, I also hate people who use their past as an excuse as to why people should feel bad for you. Like my dad died of cancer and you see me tell everyone I know my sob story and everyone should feel bad for me? No they shouldn’t, I absolutely have no sympathy for people who try to get attention with their past since they use it to motivate them not use it to manipulate people. It’s just honestly sad that some people are like that ya know? 3 Words To Describe You: Sweet, Polite, and Easy-Going Three Things On The Island and Why?: A grill so I can cook up some burgers and meats like the fish we can catch so we don't really need a fire, we already got some fire with the grill so we can go ahead and boil water on there too. My dad’s gun so my tribe can go hunting for the wildlife in the forest to help us eat even more. I would finally bring a large supply of seasoning to make the rice more tasty since plain rice isn’t exactly the tastiest dish in the world. All three of those items would be mighty helpful to the tribe I hope. Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like And Why?: Mike Calloway, he was a hardworking individual and even though he got into some hot water towards the end of the season, I feel like he was able maneuver the game pretty well up until that point where everyone turned on him. He ended up winning the season which also is a huge plus and I hopes I can do the same. I’m a hard working leader, who’s pretty sociable like Mike was so I think I could play a game like his minus the part of relying on immunities and idols to save myself. Reason For Being On Survivor: I’m playing for my family, like the prize is 1 million dollars and if I’m able to win that, it would help my mom who’s in Florida retired. If I gave a portion of that money to her, it would help her have a better life with her retirement, and I wouldn’t have to worry as much as I do when I talk to her over the phone and her issues with finances. I really want to also use some of the money for Sammy as well and kinda go on a vacation with her since we never really been on a vacation together, just me and her. What Makes You “Survive” Survivor: I think I’m a likable guy who’s going to be nice and honest which I hope people respect that. I’m also pretty strong from being a firefighter so they wouldn’t vote me out because of strength. If people see that I’m nice, honest, and never a mean person then I think people will keep me over let’s say someone who has manipulated their way to the very end. Why Would You Be The Sole Survivor: I’m probably going to do what seems to be in Survivor nowadays, and win being the nice guy. Gunnar did it last season, he barely lied to people and was honest although he still did some shady tactics. I want to show how to win being the most honest and genuine person. I’m always going to honest, I’m always going to caring, and I’m always going to be someone that is always open to options. There I hope the people of this game can respect and give me the win.
