(Last one I promise! XD)

Name (Age): Taci Calkins (44) Current Residence: Montpelier, Vermont Occupations: Cartoonist

Hobbies: Drawing, badminton and other similar sports, volunteering, hanging out with my family

Pet Peeves: Overly negative people, spicy foods, sitting still

3 Words to Describe You: Creative, Energetic, Quirky

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Fan since day one! I've been applying since I saw Vecepia claim that crown in Marquesas, and I finally have my shot to go and win the title of Sole Survivor!

Confessional: Every day of my life, I have to make people laugh or smile. I'm so blessed to be given such a job where I get to do that, and it's really taught me a lot about people. I know what makes people happy and what makes them laugh so hard they snort! I'm going to put that stuff to use out on the island. I'm going to make everyone laugh so hard that they'll keep me in the game and won't realize I'm a lethal threat to win with my charm and my wit!

Strategy/Gameplay: Taci is out there to make everyone around her have fun. She wants to brighten everyone's mood and keep everyone going. She knows she's not the best competitor or survivalist, so she'll have to focus on her social game to get her far. She knows if she makes everyone her friend, she can make it to the end and win. She knows she may have to make some moves that will hurt people to get farther, but she is hesitant to backstab people she's close to and will struggle to play ruthlessly.

Predicted Placement: She could really go anywhere. She could be the first boot for not being the strongest out there, she could be the winner for being dragged to the end as a goat and then winning against a villain with her good social game. If I had to guess I'd say runner-up if she makes the merge, getting beaten by a stronger player.

Other Important Information: Taci is a single woman, but she is a foster parent and has helped raise a dozen or so teenagers and prepare them for life. She's unable to have kids herself and isn't really interested in any serious relationships, and plans to stay single. She runs a successful cartoon in many newspapers across the country and has done so for over twenty years. She's Methodist and attends church every Sunday, although she's not the type of try and convince people that being Christian is the only right way or anything like that.
