Profile
Simon is a self-proclaimed nerd who currently lives in Wilmington, Delaware. Simon is a first generation American, his parents came over to America from India in 1977, and as such he always struggles with living a traditional American lifestyle or adhering to a more traditional Indian lifestyle. Simon’s father wants him to take part in an enraged marriage, but that is not something that Simon is open to as he wants to meet a woman on his own.

Simon loves comic books and watching any kind of science fiction movie or television show. He knows that being on Survivor will be a struggle for him because he probably will not be able to perform well in physical challenges. However, he feels like he will be an asset in any challenge that has to do with puzzles and he hopes his teammates see the value in keeping him around.

Simon is currently single and lives in Wilmington, Delaware.

Simon’s reason for being on Survivor is:

"cabot"

- To step out of my comfort zone really. I want to challenge myself both physically and mentally and I think the game of Survivor will do just that.
