Name: Heather 'Heat' VanZant

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: Raleigh, North California

Occupation: Retail Manager

Personal Claim to Fame: 2015 was my year, I had the chance to travel around the world after 15 years of planning, really, since I was a young girl my biggest dream was visit a lot of fantastic places of the Earth, like Egypt, China, Mexico, Italy, Australia, Brazil, Greece and I can continue naming countries but I think that all understand the point hahahaha. It's by far the most amazing experience of my life.

Inspiration in Life: My brother Alec, he's older than me, and he has been my role model since I was a little girl, he's my best friend, my confident, my crime partner, is the best. When he enlists in the army I felt sad, for obvious reasons, but well, he's my hero because he taught me to be brave, to never give up and fight even when the way looks terrible.

Hobbies: Travel, I love the nature; extreme sports, the adrenaline is my best friend, bodyboarding, canoeing, motocross, parkour, hangliding, ice and rock climbing, jet skis, yeah it's insane but I love it hahahahaha.

Pet Peeves: The quitters, I hate when the people say I can't and they give up, yeah, sometimes we have to beat our fears.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: A mixture of Tyson Apostol, I have an acid humor sense; Kim Spradlin because I have a great social game, I can convince so easy the people that I'm telling the truth, my physical skills are good too and Tony Vlachos because I'm an aggressive, lethal but astitute player.

Reason for Being on Survivor: I love the challenges, Survivor for me is the perfect opportunity to beat an awesome challenge, I have a lot of respect for the people that came here and play with their souls, I want to put my mark on the history of the show.

Why You Will Survive Survivor: I'm not afraid of anything, I'm not afraid of the people, of the nature, of the food, the rain, the water, the fire, hard moves, make strategy, nothing scare me, I think that I have my mind and my skills ready for this.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I know that I'll compete against people with great skills, but that don't scare me, I'm sure about what can I do, I'm not afraid to beat my fears, my social skills like I said are really good, I'm a team player too, I can adapt to everything and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty making moves, this is a competition, you need think in what's the best for your game.
