Name: Corey Jones (19)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence:New York, NY

Occupation: Law Student/Cashier

Personal Claim to Fame: Well, I don't have a big personal claim to fame, but I would like to say winning the basketball junior league at my school. I dream of being a basketball player, so it was a very important moment for me. It may sound stupid for your guys, but that's the most interesting thing that happened in my life.

Inspiration in Life: My inspiration in basketball is Michael Jordan, and I guess I don't even need to explain that, but my real life inspiration is my mother. She was abandoned by my father and had to take care of three children, and it was pretty tough for her since we came from a very poor family, but still she was able to give us the education we needed. Being the oldest one, I had to help my mom a lot and I kind of saw all the difficulties she passed through her life and I can say she is a warrior.

Hobbies: Playing basketball, playing with my younger sisters, playing video-games

Pet Peeves: I'm a calm guy, but people without respect for others really bother me. I suffered a lot being a poor black guy trying to get education and I think no one deserves to pass by that.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I don't watch Survivor a lot, but from what I've know Cliff Robinson played in one season so that's awesome, I would like to be like him.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: It's weird to say that, but for the money. The money would help my family a lot, my mom, my sisters...myself...We just need it now. I try to make some by working as a cashier, but I don't get a lot. One million dollars would be more than awesome.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR:I've heard it's a tough game, but I'm willing to do it. My family is the force behind my strength, and the love they have for me will make me endure every little storm or challenge out there.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR:I'm young, but I have a lot in my baggage. I'm good in communicating with people and sending a message, also I'm physically ready for the game. I don't know a lot about the strategical part, but I'll do my best to get to the end with a story of a deserving winner.
