Survivor: Sri Lanka/Cast (Kannaki)

Beatrice
How would you consider youself a Fan of Survivor: I'm a fan of Survivor because, quite simply, it's become a part of me. I fequent Survivor message boards; I listen to podcasts regularly; I'm always watching it either on TV or on the DVDS, and the off-season is one of the worst parts of my life. I feel like I'm there feeling the emotions of Tribal Council, or a medevac (one particular point being crying my eyes out during Russell Swan's evacuation). Being the manager of a nightclub, I work at nights and am home during the day, and when I'm not eating, sleeping or managing the club, I'm doing something Survivor related. Even at the Nightclub, we have a Survivor-themed night for both the premiere and the finale. Who's your favorite former player?: I would say Yau-Man Chan, because he allowed himself to play the game while still being a lovely person, and that's what I intend to do. People like Russell Hantz, NaOnka Mixon, Colton, they sicken me. Surely you can win Survivor while being nice? Why will you "survive" Survivor?: Because I will provide a boost to team morale and be there to motivate my tribe. I know what it's like to have to boost morale in a struggling environment, so that will come in handy for me. Why will you be the Sole Survivor: Because people will underestimate me; they'll just see me as an old gal who is easy pickings. I may not be the strongest woman on earth, but I can definitely hold my own against some of the younger ones.

How would you consider youself a Fan of Survivor: I have watched Survivor since the first episode ever! I have a sucky memory, so you might not consider me a total superfan, but I keep up with the episodes, fan bases, and have all my own opinions about things. I have introduced my entire family and most of my friends to becoming Survivor-obsessed. I have been to Reality Rallies in previous years. I collect buffs. No matter what happens, I always stay loyal to Survivor. Who's your favorite former player?: Oh god, I can't pick a favorite! But, Tasha Fox, I guess. She is a physical, strategic, and social badass and would have won the game had she been in the majority on her season. Why will you "survive" Survivor?: I don't know. But I will survive. I guess I'll just wing it and then we'll all be in for a surprise. Why will you be the Sole Survivor: I am a student of this game. I stay in physical shape, and have navigated the tricky processes of becoming a music star. But I'll definitely be there on Day 39.

"Coco"
How would you consider yourself a Fan of Survivor: The first season I ever saw was Survivor: Pearl Islands. My mom wanted me to help her with some errands and then watch the show with her (she was saying that I would love the show for a while, but I never bothered to watch). This time, the premier was on and I gave in. My mom was right and I was hooked on this show instantly. Not only did Survivor night become our night, but I also saw a lot of myself in Sandra as we are similar in terms of both athletic inability and personality (I just have slightly more patience). As soon as Sandra won Pearl Islands, I realized that I could also win this game and I’ve been auditioning ever since. Who's your favorite former player?: Sandra Diaz-Twine. The first (and so far only) two time winner! Why will you "survive" Survivor?: In the music industry, I have worked with all types of people; from hyper little children to grumpy old men, I’ve seen it all. I’m also used to being put into all types of rolls. As a music teacher, I mentor people, as a pianist, I am in the spotlight performing, and as a composer, I’m writing the story. I’ve developed a lot of patience and people skills along the way. Put me in any situation, I will adapt and find a way to survive. Why will you be the Sole Survivor: Sandra is the only two time winner for a reason, she is able to adapt very well. I am the same way. I know how to handle myself in any situation and how to tell people what they want to hear; that’s what this game is all about.

Cora
How would you consider yourself a Fan of Survivor: Besides watching season 1-29 at least three times, I consider myself a fan because instead of just saying every episode is good, I am able to relies when my favorite show has flaws. That makes me a true fan in my opinion. Who's your favorite former player?: Ken Hoang. He was an underdog and an outcast from day one and then started running the game. Why will you "survive" Survivor?: I can get social without getting annoying. I can be strategic but still lay low. I pose as a little challenge threat without being weak. Why will you be the Sole Survivor: "All I Do Is Win"- DJ Khaled

Denzel
How would you consider yourself a Fan of Survivor: I have written an assessment on every 460 castaways on my blog Survivor Fan HQ. I study every season and make long in-depth reviews on them. I use all of my past knowledge of the game to predict the next boot and I am accurate 80% of the time. (seriously ask my wife). I live for this show. Who's your favorite former player?: I really admire Richard Hatch and how he pioneered alliances and strategy in the game of survivor. I also love Chris from Vanuatu because I am a sucker for underdog story's. Why will you "survive" Survivor?: I have been in a forced plane landing and had to survive with very little for 12 days. I learned how to fish and make fire out there. That is crucial knowledge for this game as long as I don't tell them about the forced landing and just making something up like "I looked it up online". Why will you be the Sole Survivor: I know everything about every castaways game. From Mike Borassi to J'tia Taylor I can study there mistake sand learn from them. I can look like no competition when really I will be running the game. I have everything it takes. I will oblate the competition nod reign victorious. I don't think so, I know so. I have a guaranteed win.

Giancarlo
How would you consider youself a Fan of Survivor: I have seen every season and studied the game. I have always dreamed about being on Survivor and how I would do going up against all types of people. I watch as many interviews and podcasts as I possibly can. Almost everyone that knows me considers me to be “obsessed” with this game. I am always talking about Survivor. My wife has even threatened to call Jeff Probst and get me on the show so I will shut up about it. Who's your favorite former player?: My favorite former player would be Sophie Clarke from South Pacific. This seemed like a weird choice, but I think it is because she played how I would like to play. She was very methodical, got to know everybody’s motivations, and slowly inched her way to the final tribal council. My favorite Sophie moment was during her fight with Albert when she said “where’s your strategic mind now?” I love how she just blew up his game. She is amazing! Why will you "survive" Survivor?: I love camping and the outdoors. I have done so much camping recently because I’ve been trying to prepare myself mentally and physically for this game. Nothing will intimidate me. Why will you be the Sole Survivor: I have studied the game. I will look for people’s motivations. Through my job as a crime reporter, I know how to probe and ask the right questions, and also how to not be over bearing or intimidating. I will find out what their strong and weak points are and play to those. I know how to align with the right people to get myself to the end. I also know what to say at the final tribal so the jury will vote for me. With my determination and experiences, there is no way I am not winning this game.

"Jamie"
How would you consider yourself a Fan of Survivor: Well, I didn't start getting into after Philippines, but I loved it so much that a bought all of the seasons, and binge-watched them so I could identify as a super fan. And on a teacher's salary, paying that much money sure is saying something! Who's your favorite former player?: Andrew Savage. He was a natural born leader, and that's the way I feel about myself. He also played the most honest game he could, which is something I hope to do as well. Why will you "survive" Survivor?: I'm a very strong-willed person, and I will not quit. And, I go camping all the time, so I'm ready for living in the forest! Why will you be the Sole Survivor: I know that a jury would respect me if I play a completely honest game. And, I know that I can win a few immunity challenges to propel myself to that final tribal council.

Josh
How would you consider youself a Fan of Survivor: Because I do Survivor EVERYTHING! Seriously, when I'm not surfing, I'm watching Survivor, watching RHAP, reading Survivor blogs, the list goes on. You name it, I'm doing it. Every year, for my birthday, we have a little game of Survivor out in the backyard. I haven't won one yet, but now I'm hopefully going ot do the real thing! Who's your favorite former player?: I'd say Cirie, because she was basically the one that everyone was saying would leave really early, yet she made it so far. She's one of the smartest players to play, and everyone underestimates her because of her physical weakness. She really is the woman who got up off the couch and played Survivor. And she has my respect. Why will you "survive" Survivor?: I'm gonna survive Survivor because I know the outdoors like the back of my hand. I camp a lot, in case I ever get the chance to go on the show, so I can prepare myself for the outdoors. Plus I'm a okay physically and mentally so I'll be an asset to the tribe. Why will you be the Sole Survivor: Because I'm going to employ one of the most successful strategies in Survivor history: as long as it ain't me. I'll target the person who is next likeliest to go. Plus, I'm really good at sensing danger, so I'll be able to tell who's lying and who's not!
