Name (Age): Cecelia Avidan (22)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: Austin, TX

Occupation: Student

Personal Claim to Fame: Becoming the valedictorian of my high school graduating class. It shocked a lot of people, including my parents, so it's definitely up there as one of my proudest moments so far.

Inspiration in Life: My mother, Maryanne. She worked almost three jobs for five years when my father was fired to keep us afloat. That woman has work ethic I can only dream of having. She also taught me a lot about life so I owe a lot to her.

Hobbies: Reading, going on long drives, dancing.

Pet Peeves: Anyone who treats me as a dumb blonde. Also anyone who chews with their mouth open. It's nasty! SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I have to say perhaps Michele Fitzgerald. I know a lot of people give her crap but I feel like she was one of the best social players in recent years and I think I have a lot in common with her.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I've been watching the show since I was eight years old. My parents would always watch it with my sisters and I and I was hooked from the very start.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: Growing up, I didn't really have it easy. People would always judge me for my looks and I would get treated a certain way. I had to work hard to change those first impressions and I think being able to change peoples perceptions of me can help me get further.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I've been watching for a long time. I know the moves to make, the moves not to make, how to treat people, etc. I'm gonna be able to use this knowledge to get further and hopefully sway the jury to vote for me at the end.
