Ricardo Gonzalez

Ricardo Gonzalez is a contestant from Survivor: Naviti.

Profile
Name (Age): Ricardo Gonzalez (27)

Current Residence: San Diego, California

Occupation: Physiotherapist

Claim to Fame: Leading my high school football team to victory in the State Championships! We put so much hard work and effort into getting there, and to win was the icing on the cake for us.

Inspiration in Life: Cristiano Ronaldo. Even though he doesn't play American Football, he is still such a icon in the football world. He always bounces back when times get tough, and never lets anything stop him from being the amazing athlete he is. It's also not often you get a Portuguese athlete who is recognised worldwide.

Hobbies: Working out, cooking, and playing football.

Pet Peeves: People who don't maintain a healthy diet. It's so important to stray away from highly-processed foods and empty calories. We should treat our body like the temple it is, I just can't understand why some people choose to eat the way they do.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I would say Chris Underwood. Whether you disagree with his win or not, his entire win was based on the relationships he built, which is a very important aspect of the game for me.

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I'm physically strong and I know how to cook with natural ingredients, so I'll certainly be a asset to the tribe. People like being around me, and I like being around people, so the social game will be a walk in the park.

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: I want to play a loyal game and play with my heart, so it'll be difficult for me to take on the strategic role and send people home, but that's such an important part of the game, so I'll have to learn it as I go. Quiet and loyal is best way to describe my game.
