Name (Age): Dominique Stoops (25)

Tribe Designation: Habagat

Current Residence: Paducah, Kentucky

Occupation: Garbageman

Personal Claim to Fame: Receiving a scholarship for an Ivy League school, but turning it down. School has always restricted me from feeling happy and free.

Hobbies: Basketball, working out, and taking out your trash!

Pet Peeves: People who graduate or go to school for a field that they do for the money instead of happiness.

3 Words to Describe You: Carefree, Charismatic, Exuberant

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: A clash of Fabio, Colby, and James. I'll be a workhorse in challenges and so damn likeable. They won't be able to get rid of me cause I won't lose a challenge!

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To become the richest garbageman ever...and to pay the bills now that I have a kid being born.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: Because I am comfortable with what I do and who I am. I deal with your rotten food and whatever your pet yacked up everyday! If I can handle that, then I can handle this!

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Charisma and muscle are my strong suits. They may see me as a lowly garbage guy, but that's what's going to get me to the end! It'll be too late before anyone realizes they need to get rid of me!

Dominique has had enormously high potential to succeed all throughout his life. However, he ultimately decided garbage collecting was what made him happy. Given the odd career choice, Dominique is still optimistic, very exuberant, and stress-free at this point in his life, and does not let others' opinions or criticisms bother him. While lacking a bit on the strategy side of the game, Dominique proves to be a pillar of strength in challenges and around camp. Will his carefree attitude be a ray of sunshine in the midst of conflict or turmoil, or will it make him a target early?
