FINALIST 1) Name: Angelia "Angie" Chen

Age: 31

Residence: Duluth, Minnesota

Occupation: Marine Biologist

Background Story/About: Angie is a Marine Biologist working at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. She studies the behavior and science behind all five of the Great Lakes and has a Ph.D in her job. She describes herself as being quite and reserved on the outside, but very smart, calculating, and even cunning on the inside. She also has a bit of sass to back her up too! Angie wants the money so she can put donations towards research to help clean out the lakes and help save the marine life from being killed by litter and waste. She describes herself with the words "What you see is what you won't get" and she is able to change her personality and mentality at the snap of a finger in order to serve her needs.

Character type (Hero, Villain, Mastermind, Big Personality, etc): Angie hopes to be a quiet mastermind. She wants to eventually call the shots, but knows that doing it too early is a death wish and that in order to get far she might have to back off in the beginning.

Strategy: Angie's strategy is to use her skills with people to let herself coast throughout the pre-merge section, then she'll use those same connections to her advantage when the merge hits and she can take over and get all the big threats out.

Strengths/Weaknesses (In terms of Surviving and Gameplay): Angie is very good at blending into the crowd and making herself a part of any group. She isn't much of a swimmer though, being that puzzles are more her thing. Although she is able to tolerate almost any kind of person, she does have a problem with girls who think they own the world and are entitled. But she has prepared herself to deal with that kind of drama.

FINALIST 2) Dan Zelouitz

Age I am 47.

Residence Tustin, Michigan

Occupation Right now, I own a gym, a few hours away from home. Background Story/About Um, I am living with my sister right now. My wife and I just got separated, and she took everything, and by everything, I mean EVERYTHING! She took the house and the car. My sister only has one car, so I can't borrow it. I can't afford to take the bus or a cab, so now, I am just walking 10 1/2 miles to work. Good thing I work at a gym, because you need to be in shape to do that!

Character Type I have a very big personality. It may seem like I'm under the radar, but if you mess with me, you'll never see the end! I'm loud. My personality clashes with just about everyone's, but who cares?

Strategy My strategy is to get a loyal alliance, and backstab them in the end. That will show the jury that I played smart and made big moves!

Strengths/Weaknesses Well, I'm very strong and very smart. But, I have a big personality, and an even bigger ego. Also, I can't swim. I can do anything physical, but I don't swim. Water makes you wet, and I don't like being wet.

Anything else worth mentioning I think that I'll be most like Johnny Fair play in terms of my game play. I will use the money to buy a house and a car. I also wanted to say that the only T.V show I watch is Survivor. Thanks for reading my application, hope the producers pick me!

FINALIST 3) Name: Natalie Martinez

Age: 23

Residence: Phoenix, AZ

Occupation: Ph.D Student

Background: Natalie describes herself as sweet on the outside and sour on the inside. She says she will have no problem being the sweet little innocent girl who goes around stabbing aeveryone in the back. She describes herself as smart, deceitful, and charasmatic. Her favorite activities include running, swimming, chilling with her friends, and dancing when no one's (hopefully) lookin'! Natalie has graduated from the University of Arizona a year early and is alreday working on getting her Ph.D in Biochemistry. Natalie has also had lots of experiences around the world such as scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, Traveling through the rainforests of Peru, and camping out in the Australian Outback, so she knows how to handle herself in exotic places. She hopes to top all of this with being on and, hopefully, winning Survivor.

Character Type: Villain for sure! Natalie aint no goody two shoes hero!

Strategy: Natalie's strategy is to find one person to trust and make a genuine alliance with, and then make a bigger alliance that she can destroy and flip on later on in the game. If all else fails, Natalie isn't afraid to bat her eyelashes and make people understimate her enough so that she can stab them in the back.

Strengths: Puzzles, Manipulating, and Endurance challenges.

Weaknesses: Gross food, Hypocrites, and people who try to use her strategy.
