I will apply two of mine that were supposed to compete in Peru as well :)

Manga:



Name: Shawn Voyse

Age: 27

Current Residence: Newark, Delaware

Occupation: HVAC Technician

Personal Claim to Fame: When I worked in the dairy/meats section of my local Walmart about 6 years ago, I remember some stupid old lady wondering what was so special about the chickens they sold. I kind of tried to dodge the question so I could actually, ya' know, do my job. However, she kept pressing me, saying that she'll buy some if I told her what was special about them. So I told her that they were special four-legged chickens and that Walmart was the only company that has ever been able to catch those little buggers... she bought five packages of them! (Laughs)

Inspiration in Life: My Great-Grandfather, Norman. He served in both World War 1 and World War 2! He's one of many people that sacrificed so much so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we do today, and I wish he would have been alive when I would have been old enough to thank him personally.

Hobbies: Hanging out with friends, date nights with my fiancee, Melina, going to pro-wrestling shows, curling, playing football, hunting, getting tattooed (well, when I have the money.) (Giggles)

Pet Peeves: People that act like their s*** doesn't stink and that the world must bow down at their feet. I also can't stand people that get offended by every little thing and people that seem to think free speech is a crime. Oh yeah, and to go out into left field for a bit, people that don't replace the empty roll of toilet paper! (Chuckles)

3 Words to Describe You: Funny, Free-Spirited, Savvy

Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: I think I have the fun-loving and free-spirited nature of Fraser De Haan from Tasmania, the competitiveness and determination of L.J. Jones from Rosario Islands, and the intelligence of Spencer from Cagayan and Cambodia.

Reason for Being on Survivor: Honestly man, I'm a huge fan of this game and I want to win a million dollars! It's just that simple!

Why Do You Think You'll Be the Sole Survivor?: I'm gonna win this game, not just 'cause I'm athletic and competitive, but also 'cause I know how to have fun and I'm good with people. People seem to naturally like being around me for whatever reason, and even though I know I may need to lie and backstab once in a while, I know that if I'm going to win, I need to make and maintain friendships along the way with potential jurors, and keep them liking me enough to vote for me, and I feel like I have the ability to do just that.

Manga:



Name: Claudia Medlock (39)

Current Residence: Joplin, Missouri

Occupation: Defence Attorney

Personal Claim to Fame: Going to trial and defending the so-called "worst of the worst" criminals, many who were charged with murder, and convincing a jury to acquit many of them. I believe everybody deserves a fair trial and that every person should be considered innocent until proven guilty. I don't fight to get these people off and quite honestly really don't care if they're guilty or not when I agree to defend them. I simply fight for the truth to come out at trial.

Inspiration In Life: Rosa Parks. She was just a normal person that got tired of the status quo and being oppressed because of her skin colour. When I heard that she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on that bus, thus starting the bus boycott movement, it really showed me that normal people can make a difference in life. With that being said though, I can't stand people that use their skin colour/"racism" as an excuse for crime.

Hobbies: Researching, taking care of my 3 children, going to church

3 words to describe you: Passionate, Competitive, Hard-working

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: 1) A pocket knife to use around camp and for hunting. 2) An umbrella in case I have to go walking in the rain. I don't care about a little rain, but hey, I bet my tribe-mates would appreciate it too so they don't feel obligated to be trapped in the shelter the whole damn time if it storms. 3) A voice recorder in case I want to do a little eavesdropping or catch people lying.

Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Twila from Vanuatu. I'm a very strong, hard-working, passionate woman, and people will know for sure if I do or don't like them. I tell it like it is, and if you don't like that, too damn bad.

Reason for going on Survivor: I have been a huge fan of this game since season 1, and it's something I've been thinking about doing for a long time. The million dollars is a huge bonus, but I'm mostly looking forward to this exhilarating experience and being able to just go out there and play big!

Why do you think you will "Survive" Survivor: I HATE quitters. If you're going to start something, finish it. Besides, in my eyes, there's no such thing as "I can't." When people really say that, they mean "I won't". I can and I will make it to day 39!

Why do you think you will be the Sole Survivor: I'm not just here to play the game, I'm here to win! Besides, if I can convince a jury to acquit people accused of murder when they've already been convicted in the eyes of the public, I can convince a jury to vote for me to win this game.
