Modyford

 is a starting tribe from Survivor: Isles of Fate.

Arthur Bennett


Name (Age): Arthur Bennett (46) Current Residence: Bar Harbor, Maine Occupation: Crab Fisher Hobbies: Drinking with my buddies something I do a lot, and boy do we have fun! Sometimes things get crazy, but that just leads to more stories to have! What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: Probably the moments of doing nothing throughout the season. I'm a pretty active guy, so I need stimulation at a regular basis, so there's a chance I may lose it during those times. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: I'd say Terry Dietz. Despite's our ages, we both are very competent physically, and we're also straightforward, with a sense of loyalty. Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: I plan on letting everyone else bite each other's throats, but I'll be focusing on connecting with people, and winning challenges when I need to do so.

Cresta Long


Name (Age): Cresta Long (31) Current Residence: Decatur, GA Occupation: Writer/Journalist Hobbies: Binge-watching tv shows, drawing and exercising. I'd say writing, but that's my job now! What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: Uh, living in the wilderness, that's for sure! It's kinda glossed over on the show nowadays, but whenever I watch I always think about how hard it'd be to live in the woods for thirty-nine days without brushing my teeth or washing my hair and face. I'm a total neat-freak and I think it'd start to wear on my patience sitting in the same ol' clothes and sleeping on the hard ground. God I sound like a beauty queen. *laughs* Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: Michaela Bradshaw (33/34) or Courtney Yates (15/20). I'm definitely pretty athletic and I've got a must-win attitude like Michaela and even though I don't like to admit it, I've got a pretty wild temper as well. In regards to Courtney, I've been told that I've got a lot of snark and dry humor. I guess when I don't like someone rather than just get up in their face about I'd rather say sh*tty things behind their back. Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: Sit back and do the work people give me. Pre-merge the people that go are the people that can't pull their weight in the tribe or the people that get too bossy and in their head. I think as long as I work hard and use some of my people skills to get a few close bonds I can skate by until the merge where I will really start to ramp up building connections. I can win competitions but I'd prefer not to unless I really need to because that definitely puts a target on your back.

Danika Epps


Name (Age): Danika Epps (27) Current Residence: Couer d'Alene, ID Occupation: Interior Designer Hobbies: Walking my dog, Jazz, Shopping, Working Out, Making ugly ass houses beautiful on the inside, Being awesome! What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: Putting up with stupid idiots, DUH! I ain't one of those prissy bitches that pretends they're made of f***ing sugar and will melt in the rain! I am also quite active, so those challenges should be easy! I just can't deal with idiots! I enjoy being with people, don't get me wrong! I consider myself to be a very social person and the life of the party. But if you're gonna do or say something utterly stupid, get out of my face! Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: The Queen, Sandra Diaz-Twine! I definitely see a lot of myself in her in terms of how she plays the game and deals with stupid ass people! Also, if you people let me on the show twice, don't be surprised when I also become a two-time champion! Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: That's a little insulting, don't 'cha think? You really think I'm gonna compare myself to the Queen of SURVIVOR and NOT have a strategy?! I'm gonna let these people think I'm a non-threat and a shield for them 'cause I'm always gonna say what's on my mind! Even if some stupid idiots wanna get me out pre-merge, my superior athleticism will make them realize that I need to stick around if they don't wanna keep visiting Jeff at Tribal!

David Tabushi


Name (Age): David Tabushi (34) Current Residence: Grand Rapids, Michigan Occupation: Mechanical Engineer Hobbies: Well first of all, I can play 3 instruments extremely well. The trumpet, piano, and saxophone. Then, I spend some of my free time every month taking the time to learn new languages. I can already speak 4 decently, those 4 being English, Spanish, German, and Swedish. I also thoroughly enjoy many outdoor activities, such as Hiking, Kayaking, and Snorkeling. What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: Obviously, you're going to have the physical portion of the game no doubt. You're living off of barely anything for 39 days, with maybe an occasional reward. However, I think the worst part for me will be the emotional effects of the game. It's going to be tough spending time away from my family. I live and breathe for my family, I have 6 animals back home that I'm going to miss, as well as my wife and a 1 year old son. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: I'm personally believe that I'm somewhat of a hybrid here. I think I'll be a mix of Joe Anglim and Tony Vlachos. I'm going to be very good physically, and also have a good social game. However, my strongest asset will be my strategical ability. I think every single decision through, and I'll be able to backstab people when needed, but still be forgiven. Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: My strategy is to start of in the pre-merge somewhat quiet. However, as the game progresses I'll have to become more aggressive with my moves. I'll use the pre-merge time to secure myself a loyal alliance that can help me get to the end. However, I'm always going to be able to flip on someone if I feel that they're a threat to me. My plan is to be friends with everyone, no matter which alliance they're in. That way, everyone feels comfortable around me, and won't be as hurt if I have to betray them. I also would like to use the meatshield strategy, having one or two bigger threats than me in the game, and one of them in my alliance.

Jessie Seers


'Name (Age): Jessie Seers (23) Current Residence: Dallas, TX Occupation: Fashion Designer Hobbies: Fashion because it's my passion and job, doing volunteer work because it feels so damn good to be able to give back to the community, and visiting my mum and dad in the U.K. What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: I think that I will have the most trouble fitting in with my tribe. When I was 13, I moved to Dallas from the U.K, and I was bullied a lot for "talking funny", because I have an English accent. Some of my confidence was broken down because of that, and it made me timid and shy. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: I don't think that there is anyone like me. I will be different than everyone, given I have had my own experiences in England, and was raised differently than the Americans. Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: Although I will have to come out of my shell, I think that I am determined and am going to fight to win this game at all costs. I will probably sit back in the beginning, and then strike at the merge. In Survivor, you need to adapt at the pre-merge, through the many swaps and twists, but then once the merge comes, you can make your move, because no one will ever see it coming. That's exactly how I plan on playing this game.

John Salicco


Name (Age): John Salicco (54) Current Residence: Newark, New Jersey Occupation: Business Analyst Hobbies: Poker to stay in excitement, Basketball to stay in shape, and customizing my cars. Better to ride in style than in denial. What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: Dealing with a wonderful, diverse array of crazy people. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: Tony Vlachos, easily. Not really a contest. It'll be even more easy to see once I have my million, too! Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: Do whatever it takes to win. Not here to make friends. Plain and simple.

Patricia Lambert


Name (Age): Patricia Lambert (39) Current Residence: Chalmette, LA Occupation: Bar Manager Hobbies: Takin' care of my seven children, smokin' cigarettes, pettin' my cows What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: Definitely missin' my children, I've cherished them since I got my first one when I was 20, so it'll be really hard for a momma bear like me! (giggles) I'm not afraid of the nature and stuff, I've been livin' under the poverty line for a while now and things haven't always been easy. Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: Monica from the Blood vs Water season! She was playin' for her kids and was really loyal. I'd like to be as neat as her! Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: Fo' sho'! I'mma use my momma skills and every one of those young'uns will love me! I ain't too worried 'bout challenges, I've been keepin' up my shape when I was workin' on the farm until my hubby died. If I ever fall in the bottom, I'll use my story so these guys will feel bad for lil' poor Pattie! I mean, it's really hard to keep up with those food stamps so I'll do my best to win that million!

Takuma Doi


Name (Age): Takuma Doi (34) Current Residence: Morgantown, WV Occupation: Graphic Designer Hobbies: Spending time with my wife and 3 children, singing, drawing, designing, writing, playing my trombone, playing baseball, watching Survivor. What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be?: Definitely being away from my family. I know I am going to be missing them a lot while I'm out here, so that might get hard at times. But at the same time, with a lot of my friends and family also being fans of this show, if I ever quit I know I'm never going to live that down! (Chuckles) Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: I'd like to think that I'm a hybrid of Dale Cowan and Kerry Baker. Like Dale, I'm a fun-loving and social family man, who happens to also be strong in challenges. Like Kerry, I plan on being a ruthless strategist that won't at all be afraid to make bold moves and pit people against each other in the event I feel the need. Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: I definitely plan on laying low for the first few days and just getting to know everyone while creating a solid alliance of people I can trust. Once the merge comes though, I plan on pulling out the big guns and playing the game hard! I'm going to do whatever it takes to get to the end and I honestly don't care who I have to stab in the back, or who I have to pit against each other. I'll definitely try and maintain my social relationships all the way to the end, but I realize that I may make some people mad by writing their name down. I just hope people respect me enough once I get to the end and own my game in front of the jury.
