Cloe Mercado

 is a contestant from Survivor: Royals vs. Rebels.

Profile
Name (Age): Cloe Mercado (25)

Tribe Designation: Tikehau (Rebels)

Current Residence: Ephriam, WI

Occupation: Cashier

Claim to Fame: Probably that one time a few years ago I trained and completed an entire marathon! I like to think of myself as athletic, and that experience just made me a lot more confident in that.

Inspiration in Life: My brother Jamie, rest in peace. When I was a lot younger, he lifted my spirits when I was feeling upset, made me feel more confident and overall just more proud of myself as a whole. Losing him was one of the toughest experiences of my life, but I know he would want me to get past it, so that’s what I’ve done.

Hobbies: It may be a surprise coming from a fairly girly type girl, but I love wrestling! The trill you get from fighting another person in a fun, overwhelming experience like wrestling is just so much fun for me, and I do it whenever I have free time. I also love going shopping, I know, basic white girl stuff (laughs).

Pet Peeves: I pretty much live the basic, do-whatever millennial lifestyle, so I get really catty whenever someone tries to get me to live more traditionally. I mean, come on, times are changing! I can work at a job for, like, 8 months, quit, and start something new, it’s my choice! And I know I sound really spoiled saying this, but people who couldn’t care less about how they look just annoys me. I can understand if you’re not doing financially as good and can’t afford to look like a supermodel, but come on, at least put in some effort.

3 Words to Describe You: Ambitious, Independant, and Pretty!

What Makes You a “Rebel”: I see a bunch of, you know, guys in their older years, bored out of their minds at jobs they’ve worked at for, like, 15 years, and I don’t want to be remotely close to living that lifestyle. You’re here for a good time, not a long time. I plan on finding what I want to do the most and stick with it, but right now, I haven’t found that, so I’m switching from job to job, trying to pursue my dream. If that’s not a Rebel, I don’t know what is.

Who is More Suited for Survivor; Royals or Rebels: Rebels have the upper hand when it comes down to it. I think the Royals will have this “Look at me, I’m so great” mentality, and that’s going to trouble them when it’s time to put their egos aside and play this game. Rebels are used to working their way up from rock bottom,and that’s what we’re gonna do.

Reason for Being on Survivor: People think of me as just a pretty face and no brains, you know, a dumb blonde of some sorts. Everyone that knows me in real life is going to be shocked when they see me playing this game hard and coming out on top, and I’m just really excited to see those reactions!

Why You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I already have this game figured out. I’m an expert flirt, so all I need to do is find a gullible guy, and make him do my bidding. Preying on guy’s emotions may seem a bit messed up, but this is a game, people. I do what I need to do to bring this cash home to my family.
