Profile

 * Name (Age): Elsie Jennings (63)
 * Tribe Designation: TBD
 * Current Residence: Adelaide, SA
 * Occupation: Semi-Retired Cleaner
 * Season 01 Contestant You Are Most Like: Carolyn White, because we're both grandmothers looking to make a better life for our families and Shelley Vallis due to her kind and caring nature.

Elsie currently works as a cleaner for several small businesses in her community. Having worked as a cleaner for more than forty years, she has come to the end of her working career, taking on Survivor to boost her retirement funds.

"I've worked my whole life, through two pregnancies, financial struggles and personal difficulties. You name it and I've survived it. I think that will give me an advantage over some of my tribemates. I know the value of a hard day's work, I've seen a few people come on Survivor and struggle with the workload. I'm really hoping I get a few lazy people on my tribe, so I can convince my tribemates to boot them instead of me. (laughter)"

Elsie is a mother of two and a grandmother of four. Both of her daughters have since moved interstate and since the death of her husband in 2005, Elsie has lived alone. She maintains an active social life, often meeting with her friends for a night of rum and cards or a coffee and cake, depending on the mood.

"I'm a very social person, I'm never without friends. I can be friends with almost anyone regardless of age or social status, if you treat me well I'll treat you well."

Elsie's plan going in to Survivor is to play the "mother hen" role. She doesn't expect to make waves and would rather focus on the social game than the strategic.

"I think the thing that a lot of people don't understand about Survivor is that it is ultimately a popularity contest. That's why "goats" exist, the jury isn't going to vote for someone they dislike. They have before and will again vote for people who don't necessarily make the flashiest moves, but they have good relationships with. I am going to be friends with everyone and downplay my social threat status, I'll be in the Final Two with nine friends on the jury in no time. No-one will ever see me coming. (laughter)"
