Profile
Name: Annalise Brooks

Age: 52

Current Residence: Sydney, NSW

Occupation: CEO

With her business worth millions of dollars and commonly mingling with the upper class, Annalise is well accustomed to the finer things in life. Don’t let that fool you, though, this is one woman who isn’t afraid to work hard and get her hands dirty to get herself ahead. The word quit is not in Annalise’s vocabulary, something that is proven by her starting her empire from the ground up.

"I didn’t get anywhere by taking a rest day and I did have to step on some people to get ahead. I have no problem with that.”

Being in the business world, Annalise knows you’re only as strong as your weakest member and isn’t afraid to make decisions that hurt people’s feelings. She once fired her assistant for being twenty minutes late twice and forgetting her double shot almond milk latte along with it. If  she needs to be a little ruthless and cutthroat, she won’t think twice.

“We all signed up to manipulate and be manipulated. If you can’t handle it, get over it or go home crying to your mummy.”

Partially motivating Annalise’s success is motivating her three daughters, Jacinta, Daisy and Violet. She wants to show them that women can be strong and successful, achieving whatever they want in life.

Despite her cold exterior, Annalise does have a softer, vulnerable side but knows that showing too much emotion will have her written off without a chance at the $500,000 prize. If she needs to show her nice side before stabbing someone in the back, though, she will.

Annalise thrives in a competitive environment and is looking forward to the adrenaline rush that Australian Survivor will bring. While not playing for the money, she wants the win for bragging rights.

“If they want me out, they’re going to have to drag me kicking and screaming. I’m a winner in life and I’ll be a winner in this game.”
