Sonnie Yuka

 is a contestant from Survivor: Dueling Desert.

Profile

 * Name (Age): Sonnie (40)
 * Tribe Designation: Wangi
 * Current Residence: Seattle, Washington
 * Personal Claim Of Fame: Moving over to the United States in my twenties to start a fresh new life. I'm not the type of person to stay in one place for a while, so being able to support that lifestyle makes me happy.
 * Hobbies: Chess, butterfly watching, and kayaking.
 * Pet Peeves: Those who assume I have to be zen and love rice and everything for the simple matter that I'm asian. Yes, I teach yoga to people, but I also find myself to be intellectually driven.
 * 3 Words To Describe You: Cunning, observant, calm.
 * If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why?: I would bring my yoga mat so that I could both practise myself as well as teach others to lower their threat perception of me, I would bring a chessboard to keep myself occupied, and I would bring a lighter so that we could keep fire going easily.
 * Survivor Contestant you are Most Like: I am most like Earl Cole. He was always running the game in Fiji and yet no one ever saw that because he was able to let himself slip through the cracks and not be perceived as someone that people should ever have a reason to target.
 * Reason for being on Survivor: If this is truly the world's greatest game, then it should be something that challenges me mentally, physically and emotionally, and I'm always up for a challenge no matter the extent.
 * Why do you think will be Sole Survivor: As someone who is older but still works with young people on a daily basis, I have a grasp on what all walks of life hope to strive for or hope to achieve. This has made me perceptive to what goes on around me, and I think I'll be able to use that to my benefit.
