User blog:Tanglefrost/Jeju Island- Cast Sneak Peek 3

Hey everyone! Since I'm going to be busy over the next few days to a week I'm not gonna have time to update the next episode of Lombok very often. So I thought I'd compromise by revealing the next four members of the Jeju Island cast! In case you've missed the first two cast reveals, click the links below:

Let's meet the next four castaways!



JOANNE STEINBECK

66, Corpus Christi, Texas

Gardener



Joanne has never been the one to take the easy route or rest, having recently retired from a 40-year career in marketing and sales, maintained while raising a family of five daughters with her husband of 42 years, Harold. Never one to sit idle, she has taken a casual job as a gardener to keep herself occupied. Coming from a family of eight herself, Joanne learned early that you had to do things to stand out, yet she knows how vital a strong team is when working towards success. She may not look like much, and she may not be as fit as she used to be, but she'll be willing to lay it all on the line so her team can get ahead. Having watched the show since day one, Joanne knows she'll be at a disadvantage because of her age and weakness, but believes her life experience and knowledge of the game will get her ahead.



CRISTIAN AGUILAR

24, Robstown, Texas

Paramedic



Working as a paramedic, Cristian is used to fast-paced life-or-death situations and working under pressure, all things he believes will serve him well in the game. As someone with physical strengths and smarts, he thinks he'll be a valuable asset to whichever tribe he lands on. Cristian loves to take the lead and be in control of situations and he is someone his friends look up to for guidance. Describing himself as an "opportunist", Cristian believes that an opportunity not taken is a waste and he'll use any advantage he can to get himself further in the game, even at the expense of the team or his own allies. He knows that he could leave a trail of destruction but, with a reputation as a smooth talker, he jokes, "Who doesn't love a sexy Latino accent?"



MERCEDES TRIFFITT

21, Corvallis, Oregon 

Hostess 



Mercedes considers herself a "free spirit" and has never been one to conform to societal expectations. She never believed in the message that you needed college degrees to be successful and considers colleges to be elitist; she refuses to align herself with a political party, changing her preference based on the candidates and describes herself as an agnostic. Mercedes works nights as a hostess for a local restaurant so knows how to communicate with people while hiding her true feelings about them, and has a second job on the side as a dog walker for people in her neighbourhood on the weekends, so believes she is doing just fine on her own. As far as the game goes, Mercedes doesn't believe in the "big moves" mantra and feels her methods of playing will be unconventional. She knows she'll have a hard time convincing the jury who hold different views on how the game should be played, but hasn't conformed to expectations her entire life and won't start now.

SANJAY BAKSHI 22, Annapolis, Maryland  Freelance Video Editor

Sanjay's freelance video editing career means he has shot and edited videos for all kinds of events such as weddings, parties, tourism and advertising, meaning he has had to work with a variety of different people. He thinks this will be an advantage for him as he knows how to interact with strangers. Sanjay is a superfan of the show, but not for the reasons people might think. Having a difficult childhood and adolescence, in which he battled leukaemia and faced homophobic bullying after being outed in high school, he often used Survivor as an emotional escape and therefore has a special attachment to it. Sanjay knows the game inside and out and believes his social and strategic game will help him get by. While he knows he'll have to get blood on his hands to win, he also is aware that betraying people too much will make it impossible to win. He believes he'll be able to find the perfect balance to get himself over the line.
