Profile
Name (Age): Amelia Moore (26)

Current Residence: Los Angeles, CA

Occupation: Adult Film Star

Claim to Fame: Doing everything in my power to support my ten-year-old daughter, Lizzy. (smiles) Back when I was a teenager, I made some really foolish and drunken decisions that resulted in me falling head over heels for a man that couldn’t have cared less about me. As soon as I found out I was pregnant and told him, he ditched me, and my parents disowned me not long after Lizzy was born. (deep sigh) Since I turned 18, I did whatever it took to pay the bills, starting with stripping until I was able to land some high-paying gigs in the, uh, adult film industry. I’ve learned to own it, since I was and still am willing to do anything and everything to give Lizzy the life she deserves.

Inspiration in Life: The only thing that really keeps me going is the light at the end of the tunnel, the possibility of things getting better. There are many people I have met throughout my life that have supported and continue to support me, but it’s really hope that I use to inspire me to keep going even when things seem bleak or hopeless. It’s that hope that’s helped me raise Lizzy and get both her and myself in a relatively stable financial situation. (nods) Sometimes, a last spark of hope is all you really need.

Hobbies: I’m big on connecting one-on-one to people, so getting to go on little friendship dates with my closest friends back home is amazing and super fun for me. Whether that’s just chatting over a cup of coffee or a lunch or it’s something more extravagant like a concert, a trip to the club, or going to the beach, I’m having fun as long as a friend or two are there with me.

Pet Peeves: I can’t deal with close-minded people, those who cast judgment without putting themselves in other people’s shoes. My boyfriend a decade ago and my parents were just like that, and that’s how I got cast into such a rough spot for so long in my life. I could never imagine dismissing somebody or saying you hate them without first meeting them at their level. (shakes her head) It disgusts me.

3 Words to Describe You: Optimistic, open-minded, & relentless

SURVIVOR Contestant you are most like: Winter Alan! I think she and I both embody the spirit of never giving up and always persevering through the toughest of situations and scenarios. She faced a lot of adversity on the island, but used the awful things she went through to strengthen herself and make herself into a better person instead of letting them ruin her or turn her bitter. (shrugs) I think I’m the same way.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Although my financial situation is a lot less dire than it was a few years ago, I can’t pretend that I’m making bank. Adult film stars get paid a lot less than people expect, if you listened to Mia Khalifa when she talked about it, you’ll know what I mean. Stripping is a bit more lucrative, but it’s still not great and you have to deal with a lot of gross people, it’s part of the job description. (shrugs) I’d love the million dollars to make my life and, more importantly, my daughter’s life better and more financially secure.

Why you will be the Sole Survivor: I’m only 26 years old, so I’ll probably be one of the younger castaways out there, but I’ve gone through more than even a lot of middle-aged people have. (smiles hopefully) I’ve let those trials and tribulations shape me into a mature, hard-working, and unrelenting young woman, one who can roll with the punches better than other people my age. That and my love for deep, personal connections with others will put me in a good spot to win the whole thing. I have the mental fortitude and social skills to get myself to the end.
