User blog:Sinjoh/Survivor: Amazonia Cast Release 1

With me at the midway point of Survivor: Ghost Island, I'm going to show you guys the first four castaways of Survivor: Amazonia. I also apologize with slow updates for Ghost Island, just a bit of writer's block.

Ada Kim
Ada Kim, is a high school math teacher from Anahiem, California. Her parents are North Korean immigrants who escaped for political reasons. Ada was a happy girl, she excelled in mathematics, a former cheerleader, and had many friendships. But four years ago, after picking up her brother (who is ten years her junior) from a party early in the morning, Ada was involved in a drunk driving accident. Ada had minor injuries, but where the car hit (the rear end on the left) was where her brother was sitting. Her brother was barely conscious when brought to the hospital, but he died on the operating table. For the next four years, she is haunted by the accident, blaming herself for what happened, but puts on a facade everyday to hide her pain. Ada's reasoning for coming onto Survivor is to get away from everything, and to regain her self-confidence she lost after the accident.

Agnes Smith
Agnes Smith, a nurse from Geneva, New York, also had a horrible loss like Ada, but rather than becoming depressed, became the grumpy old widow, despite being 37 years old. Agnes's husband died ten years ago after becoming drunk on their honeymoon, and drowning in the hotel pool. Her husband also died a month into Agnes's pregnancy, leaving her to be a single mother. Being unmarried and with a child made her extremely grumpy for years. She tried to date again, but either the guy didn't like Agnes or she didn't like the guy. Agnes wants to be on Survivor because she needs the money to help her out with her son and to start a college fund for him.

Chris Courtney
Christopher "Chris" Courtney, a vehicle repairmen from New Town, North Dakota, is the definition of rude and crude. Chris hates following the rule or laws (ironic considering if he doesn't want to be ejected like Willie), and has a record since twelve, but mostly for vandalism or theft. After being released from jail for the tenth time, he promised his girlfriend to straighten out. He began tinkering with his car and learned he had a talent for it. Chris began employment at an auto shop seven years ago, and has changed, but still is defiant toward rules and laws. He joined Survivor because his girlfriend is pregnant and he wants the best for his child. Chris doesn't care how he gets to the end, as long as he gets the money.

Clair Lance
Clair Lance, is a herpetologist (person who studies reptiles and amphibians) from San Luis, Arizona. Clair's love for lizards began after adopting a young Gila monster for her ninth birthday. Since then, she began to wander out in the Arizona desert, drawing and studying lizards. She was able to get a degree in biology and moved to the field of herpetology. Clair's been to the Amazon before, and has been to the Sahara Desert, Australia, multiple Pacific Islands, and Central America. She believes her experience in living in foreign, undeveloped areas will help her in Survivor get to the end.
