Name (Age): Miles O'Connor (28) Current Residence: Detroit, MI Occupation: Professional Swimmer Personal Claim to Fame: I was one of the youngest to ever be accepted into my school and local area's swim teams. I know it doesn't look like much but it really was a boost to my confidence and assured me that I was on the right path. Inspiration in Life: My brother. Although my parents didn't always 100% support my ambitions, my brother always stood by me. He often drove me to practices and helped me keep fit. I wouldn't be doing what I love today if it wasn't for him. Pet Peeves: People who give up easily. You should be fighting to the bitter end, especially if you're on survivor! If you're just giving up because it got hard, then you didn't want it as much as you thought you did. Also people who eat with their mouths open. Gross. 3 Words to Describe You: Athletic, Funny, Quiet Survivor Contestant You're Most Like: I'm probably like Michele Fitzgerald. Bold claim, I know but I do think I wouldn't play a game focused on big moves. It's hard for me to open up fully to people, but I am good at connecting to people. It's weird, people just seem drawn to me. I think this would benefit my social game and really help me go far. Reasons for Being on Survivor: I really just want to get out there and do something! I want to survive, compete in challenges, vote people off. It would all be such an amazing experience that I think everyone should try and do in their life. Why You Think You'll Survive Survivor: I'm very strong physically and mentally. I'd be useful around camp and I don't think the elements would break me, so to speak. Why You Think You'll Be the Sole Survivor: I may not be the smartest, but I definitely have the endurance and athleticism to get to Day 39, be it through immunity or bonds with other players, I'm confident in my abilities and how far they can take me in this game.
