Profile
Name (Age): Rebecca Jones (25)

Tribe Designation: Abaiang

Current Residence: Dallas, TX

Occupation: Journalist

Claim to Fame: Chasing all sorts of important stories for my newspaper; most recently, the bombings in Austin.

Inspiration in Life: My dad's work in journalism is what inspired me to follow the same line of work. He's a great man who has constantly devoted himself to other people, which is how I hope to be someday.

Hobbies: Learning new things, watching SURVIVOR, and having educational discussions with my colleagues and friends.

Pet Peeves: Ignorance. Not just in a political sense; more so people who are perfectly fine with not knowing what's going on around them.

3 Words to Describe You: Curious, critical, & personable

If You Could Bring One Thing on the Island With You, What Would You Bring and Why?: No question, I'd bring my notepad. It reminds me of home and my job, yes, but it'd also be nice to take notes on what people to say to me so I can tell when they're lying or when their stories don't match up. It'd make it a lot easier to find people I can trust.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: SURVIVOR is almost like another story to me. It's something I want, no, something I need to learn more about and experience firsthand. I watch the show all the time, but that's not the same as actually playing the game. It's also a great chance for me to go out of my comfort zone; ever since I started college way back when, I've been in a bubble of other super highly educated people, and, to be honest, they're kind of annoying and full of themselves.

What is Your Strategy to Become the Sole Survivor?: I know how this game is played. I've watched 36 seasons and over 500 episodes. I'm going to be really, really nice and likable and get along with everyone, find the people I can trust to bring me to the end, and get rid of the others. It'll be amazing to see. I will be the mastermind this season, mark my words.
