Name (Age): Laval Perrault (34)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: Eau Claire, WI

Occupation: Career Consultant

Personal Claim to Fame: Being able to tell people what to do with their lives, man! I mean seriously, not many people get paid to do that. (Chuckles) So yeah, I think I’ve got the greatest job in the world for sure.

Inspiration in Life: I’d have to say my father. Not only did he teach me how to be a man and stand on my own two feet, but he’s someone that lights up whatever room he walks into. He seems to get along so well with everyone he meets and he’s someone that everyone seems to look to for leadership and guidance. Every day of my life, I strive to live my life like my father so that I can have the same kind of amazing impact on people as he does.

Hobbies: Spending time with my family, telling jokes, playing baseball, going to the bar/pool hall with friends.

Pet Peeves: People that are too damn sensitive and can’t take a joke! I’ll also add people that hold grudges for extended periods of time over stupid things. Life is too short to let every little thing get to you or to live being full of anger.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I think I’ll have to say Jonathan Penner. As much as I try to be quote unquote “heroic” in my everyday life, during the game, I’m not gonna be afraid to speak my mind like Jonathan always did. Nor will I be afraid to be a villain and stir up a little s*** every now and again to keep things interesting around camp.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: As much as winning the million dollars would be nice, I’m honestly quite content with the way my life’s going right now. As a fan of the show, I’m mostly here for the experience of playing the game and to have a little fun. If I happen to win the money, as far as I’m concerned, that’ll just be an amazing bonus.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’ll survive because I’m not gonna be afraid to make moves to get myself further in the game. I’m also not gonna be afraid to speak my mind and cause a little chaos every once in a while. So yeah, I’m ready to play big and have a hell of a time doing it!

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I talk to many different kinds of people through my job who are at many different stages of their lives. From students who are graduating and looking to get into the work force, to people looking to recover from being laid off or fired, to people looking to change or advance their careers. As such, I feel like I can read people very well and know who I can and can’t trust, as well as how people will react to certain moves, which will help me tremendously. So if I do manage to get myself to the end, I’m sure that I’ll be able to win enough jury votes ‘cause I’ll know what each juror wants to hear.
