Profile
Name: Patricia Langstrom

Age: 51

Current residence: Cedar Rapids, IA

Occupation: Publications Editor

Tribe designation: Akal

Three words to describe you: Cooperative, Attentive, Galvanized

Hobbies: I love to go on long walks. Not only do I get a physical benefit out of it, but it's a way for me to unwind. As a publications editor, I'm basically the one who makes sure everything runs smoothly where I work. So, being able to find time to calm down and reassess a situation is key. If I burn out, then everything goes out of whack. Besides that, I love to bake. My niece says I have a knack for it, although I don't really believe her.

Pet peeves: Lazy people are the absolute worst. If you can't get your share done, then the rest of the group suffers. It's how it works in business, and it's how it works in Survivor.

Personal claim to fame: Getting to where I am in life! When I was a young girl, I worked so many odd jobs, it was like I had a new job every week! The, when I realized that I wanted to get into publishing, I worked hard to get the job that I have now. From here, it only gets higher!

If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why?: An endless supply of donuts, for starters. After that, hairspray, and then a fire-starting kit.

Reason for being on Survivor: You know, I'm just out here for the experience, for the challenge, and for the fun of it all! I want to see how well I can do out here in the jungle.

Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor?:
