If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why: SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I think I am pretty similar to T-Bird from Survivor: Africa. She was my favorite that season, and we are both smart, kind women.
 * 1) My bird books so I could fully enjoy the birds of the island
 * 2) A notebook and pencil so I can doodle to let loose steam.
 * 3) A cellphone so I can stay in touch with my daughter.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To prove to my daughter Sparrow that even a quiet woman like me can step outside of her boundaries and do great things.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I have lived in the wilderness for several day stretches working out in the field so I’m pretty accustomed to outdoor living.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I will be a non-threat, and I will use my social game to advance all the way to the end, where I can use those relationships to get enough votes to win the game! I’m also not terribly averse to turning on people, although I’d rather not if I don’t have to.
