 is a contestant from Survivor: Taiwan - One World.

Profile
Name (Age): Nessa White (24) Current Residence: Daytona Beach, Florida

Occupation: Swimsuit Model

Personal Claim to Fame: Being on the cover of multiple magazines! When I first started modeling, I had tons of people telling me that it wasn't a real job, I wasn't gonna make it, and that I would be broke for the rest of my life. Being able to prove them all wrong meant so much to me and was so refreshing, and being able to make a good amount of money relieves so much of the stress that I've had in the past.

Inspiration in Life: It would definitely be my older sister Sheila, who I look up to as an angel. We came from a very poor family, so we didn't have much of an education, and our parents were constantly fighting. When I was eight and she was thirteen, my mom and dad divorced and we were both deeply affected by it, but nevertheless she acted as a mother figure to me, someone I could always lean on. She helped me through our financial problems and supported me as I started modeling. With the money I got, I bought a small house and we live together, and support each other through tough times, such as our relationship troubles.

Hobbies: Hanging out with Sheila, going shopping, trying new clothes, going to the club, and meeting new guys.

Pet Peeves: People who abuse their lover in a relationship. I had my first boyfriend when I was thirteen. He was sixteen and I was so infatuated with him that I didn't realize his intentions. One night, he raped me and continued to sexually abuse me through the next few months, and when I tried to leave him he tried to beat me. Once again, when I was nineteen, my boyfriend and I constantly got into fights because of the way he treated me, and I barely escaped that toxic relationship. Whenever something like that happens, I connect to it on a personal level and I feel angry on their behalf.

3 Words to Describe You: Beautiful, Flirty, Cheerful

SURVIVOR Contestant You're Most Like: I'd say I'm similar to Kara Kay. We're both pretty, young girls, who are bubbly, cheerful, and pretty, and I'd love to play an under-the-radar game like she did.

Reasons for Being on Survivor: I want to prove to everyone I know how far I've come, and I want to take that million home so I can build a family with my future boyfriend, and so I can support Sheila, because lately she's been considering turning to stripping to make money, and I don't want to have to put her through that type of lifestyle.

Why You Think You'll Survive SURVIVOR: I'm determined and I've been through plenty of hard times before. There are multiple aspects of the game, and I think I could master all of them and survive the game.

Why You Think You'll Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Well, I can make it deep into the game because I'm physically fit, socially aware, and mentally strong. I think having a good balance is very important in this game, because if you're too weak in an area, you might be caught off guard and promptly voted off, and if you're too flashy and strong in an area, then you become a huge threat, and you get sent home. As a young, blonde woman, people will expect me to just be another one of those flirty, social girls, and that's what I'll show them because I don't want them to be aware of my strengths. I plan to go through the entire game like that, and I intend to prove to the jury that I deserve to win by revealing all the different strengths I had.
