Name (Age): Spencer Mortensen (18)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: St. George, UT

Occupation: High School Student

Personal Claim to Fame: Last year I was simultaneously on the debate team and the track and field team in my high school where I won a state championship in track and field and multiple regional debating tournaments.

Inspiration in Life: My inspiration in my life is my oldest brother Corbin. Corbin has been a role model for me all my life and my best friend in the world as well.

Pet Peeves: Cussing, Bullying, and Laziness

3 Words to Describe You: Moral, Headstrong & Honorable

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: The Survivor contestant I am most like would be Colby Donaldson from Australian Outback because he was very strong physically (he does hold the record for most challenge wins in a season) and he is a very loyal person who won't take the easy way out when the going gets tough. That is a competitor I can admire.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: My reason for being on Survivor is to win the money and give my family a better life (like getting them a nicer house, a new car, the practical things but nothing too fancy)

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I think I will Survive Survivor because I have very strong social skills that will allow me to make connections to other people and not isolate myself in camp and I have the outdoor experience that will be useful to my team (I'm an Eagle Scout, so it's fair to say I know a lot of tricks to survive in the wilderness).

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I think I will be Sole Survivor because I know that loyalty will get me far in this game and if I can make the right moves early on and ride that to the end, then I think I have a decent shot at winning the money.

What Is Your Dream Guy/Girl: My dream girl would be someone who shares my values, who can be a shoulder for me to lean on in times of need, someone who is caring and compassionate towards others and someone who can pick up my blind spots and let me know when I'm going about situations the wrong way.

Do You Think That You Would Get Along With You Partner: I think I can get along with anybody reasonably well (I'd put my all in trying to anyways).

What Is Some of The Qualities You Would Hate in Your Partner: The qualities I would hate in a partner would be someone who has a hot temper, who doesn't know how to play the game and who thinks they're better than everyone else.

Manga:

Name (Age): Francesca DiGenova (23)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: Brooklyn, NY

Occupation: Guitarist

Personal Claim to Fame: Being a part of an up and coming rock band that's on the rise in the New York rock scene. Being recognized in my neighborhood is definitely a startling thing, but it definitely gives you that boost of confidence that tells you you're on the right track.

Inspiration in Life: Courtney Love. She is a talented musician and a fierce feminist who doesn't take any crap from anyone and doesn't care about what other people think.

Pet Peeves: Conformity, Misogyny, and Playing the Victim Card

3 Words to Describe You: Strong-willed, Analytical, and Edgy

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: The Survivor contestant I am most like would be is Natalie from San Juan del Sur because I have a very similar mindset as hers towards approaching this game: I have a tough edge, I'm confident in the way I tackle situations, I'm physically fit, I'm absolutely willing to play dirty if the situation calls for it and I will not use my body to get ahead.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Of course, the money is the obvious factor but more than anything else, on a deeper level, I'm here to push myself to my limits and come out the other side victorious.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I think I'll survive Survivor because I think I'm pretty used to dealing with tough situations and being around people from diverse walks of life. I also think I can use my interpersonal skills and knowledge of the game to determine which people will the the right fit for me to align with and which people will be toxic for my game.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I think I will be the Sole Survivor because I have the capabilities to be an all-around competitor physically, strategically and socially and to also mask those capabilities when needed so that my competitors won't see me coming. This is what I think will take me to the end of the game.

What Is Your Dream Guy/Girl: My dream guy is someone who knows how to have a good time, someone who can challenge me intellectually, and someone who is willing to step outside the box and experience new adventures.

Do You Think That You Would Get Along With Your Partner: As long as they park their ego at the door and be willing to play the game collaboratively with me, then yes. Otherwise, I'm perfectly willing to vote my own partner out and go rogue.

What Is Some of The Qualities You Would Hate in Your Partner: I would hate for my partner to think that they're better than me or anyone else for that matter, I would die if my partner was a total idiot and I have no patience for anyone who tries to act big and bad because it signals deeper insecurities.
