Sheila Feigenbaum is a contestant from Survivor: Tasmania- Vengeance.

Profile
Name (Age): Sheila Feigenbaum (49)

Tribe Designation: Pyengana

Current Residence: Cambridge, MA

Occupation: Stay-at-Home Mom

Claim to Fame: Retiring at the age of 35 to stay home with my 4 children. My husband and I were both accountants for a high-end corporation and made decent wages. We then won about 10 million dollars in the lottery and we decided that we could afford for one of us to stay at home with the kids full time. That was the best decision we could have ever made.

Inspiration in Life: My 4 children. My decision to retire so early was for them because now I get to be an even bigger part of their lives as they grow up.

Hobbies: Taking care of my children, volunteering at the schools, volunteering for various charities, traveling.

Pet Peeves: People who seem to value money over family. Even before we won the lottery, I always took as much time as I could to spend with my children. I understand that budgets can be tight, but I don't understand people that work excessive overtime to the detriment of their children.

3 Words to Describe You: Compassionate, Adventurous, Competitive

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why: Some fireworks and a lighter so I can set them off on days 1 and 39. A camera to document my adventure. Finally, a polygraph test to see if I can trust people. I mean, let's face it. You can probably tell if someone's trustworthy simply based on whether or not they're willing to take the damn test.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Definitely Sandra. We're both badass, competitive women who know how to win! I also see some of her sass in me.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I am very competitive and always up for an adventure. I may not need the money, but I'm so pumped for the opportunity to test myself in this environment and see how far I can get.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I'm extremely competitive and hate losing at anything. I will never ever quit, no matter what.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I may be older and non-athletic, but I feel like I'll definitely bee the "cool mom" out here. I know how to fit in with the younger crowd, but I also won't take crap from anybody. People are going to underestimate me, but I fully intend on proving them wrong and earning their respect by reaching day 39 and getting their jury votes.
