3 Words to Describe You: Smart, Creative, Calm

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why: SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Jenna and Heidi from the Amazon because I’ll take off my clothes for chocolate too! But really, I believe I’m probably most like Earl. I find us to be pretty similar and I want to play the way he did, perfectly. (Well, except for that one vote...screw you Rita Verreos).
 * 1) Books to keep me entertained
 * 2) Noise cancelling headphones so I can get to my safe place in quiet when I get angry or fed up
 * 3) Chocolate. I love chocolate. No chocolate for 39 days is the most daunting part of Survivor for me.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: My college girlfriend got me into Survivor. The first season I watched was Fiji, and Earl was definitely my favorite all the way through. I was hooked after that and I’ve seen every season at least twice.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’m not a particularly outdoorsy person, but I’m not one to shy away from a challenge. I’m willing to try it out, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to make do for 39 days.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I know this game very well, and therefore I think I can make it pretty far. I’ll be strategically sound. I’m also not weak although I’m not extremely physical. I’m not too threatening, but I have enough to be a competent player. I have all the parts, I just need to assemble them all together into a winning Survivor game!
