Profile
Name: Brady Stewart

Age: 22

Current Residence: Geelong, VIC

Occupation: Architecture Student

Born and bred in Geelong, Brady is in his second year of an architecture degree at Deakin University, having dropped a science degree and pursued his true passion. Brady says the experience helped him become more confident in standing up for what he wanted, which will be beneficial to him in the game.

“When I told Mum I wanted to drop science, she spat the dummy. She wanted me to finish what I’d started and didn’t want to be wasting time and money if I was going to switch degrees all the time. I stood up to her and said I was doing architecture because it was my passion. She gave in and now I’m much happier. It was the best thing I’ve ever done.”

Brady describes himself as a “middle of the pack” type person, generally chill with anyone he meets, and credits his time at Deakin for helping him come out of his shell and be more of a people person. Brady wants to continue that growth playing his favourite game. He knows that a larger cast and longer game will mean he’ll have to lay low for a while and thinks loyalty goes a long way.

When he’s not watching Survivor, Brady is a sports fanatic. He is a diehard Geelong Cats and Melbourne Storm fan who often attends live games and enjoys the atmosphere. Despite this, Brady knows his place is in the stands and not on the field, although he thinks he’ll be an asset in puzzle challenges for whichever tribe he lands on.

Being just 22, the money is a huge motivation for Brady, who wants to change his life for the better, such as paying off his uni debts and buying a new car for his mum and himself.

“My mum has given up a lot to help me get to where I am today. It would be great to be able to give back to her by giving her the new car she’s wanted for years but can’t afford.”
