Name: Jessica Ivy

Occupation: Hair Stylist

Personal Claim to Fame: I haven't had the best life, and my family and I were never particularly wealthy, but I still managed to work my way through school and gradyate from beauty school.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want to win the money to help support my family. But I also want to do the show because I've been a fan for a long time and I want to prove to myself that I could do it.

Why Will You Survive: As a kid I camped with my father a lot. He taught me how to search for food and start fire with limited kindling.

Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR: I'm a hard worker, and I don't start drama. So people will want to have me around. I just hope I can break out of my shell enough to show people the real me.
