User blog comment:Coolio15/Survivor Collab Season Five Applications! (Closed)/@comment-25121279-20151221160749

Name: Savannah Rodd (23)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence:Fayetteville, NC

Occupation: Barista/Painter

Personal Claim to Fame: Buying my own house at the age of 21, after my own hard work. I worked as a barista and on my free time I painted some frames and sold them on the internet. It was great having this feeling of liberty and independence, and it was even better because me and my parents don't have a good relationship.

Inspiration in Life: My inspiration is my older brother. He faced the same problems as me while growing up, due to my parent's alcohol problems and he was able to overcame it and today he is a well-known lawyer in New York. He was the force behind all my hard work to move to my own house and start living my own life.

Hobbies: Painting, Reading, Watching Survivor, Playing board games, Puzzles, Pilates.

Pet Peeves: I dislike people without culture, or whiners or spoiled persons.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: There's no one like me on Survivor, but if I have to say someone who I think played a good game I must say Kelley Wentworth from Cambodia, Kathy at Marquesas, Cirie on Micronesia, all these robbed queens that were voted out one step before winning all the money. I want to play like them, but actually succeed in my mission.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Having your own house it's nothing easy, the money would come very handy. Besides that, I'm a fan of the show, and I think I have what it takes to get to the end with a good game. Also, sometime time by myself in a desert location would also be awesome.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR:I've dealt with some pretty rough stuff in real life, I know it doesn't compare to Survivor, but I can handle it, I'm tougher than what I look like. I'm very strong mentally and my body is also ready for this adventure. Bring it!

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR:I may be young, but I'm very mature. I had to leanr "how to live" since I was young, and by my own. I'm a dedicated person and I can say that I'm pretty smart based on the education I received. If I can align myself with the right people and make the right moves at the right time, I should be just fine. I'm not that good socially, but Survivor will also help me overcome this barrier, I want to try to be all friendly and cute. It's a part of me that lives in the shadows of my rough childhood.
