Name (Age): Taras Lamberti

Occupation:  Therapist



Current Residence: Detroit, Michigan

Reason for Going on Survivor: Life's been hitting me hard lately, and I could use the money from playing Survivor to help myself making a living.

What is You Main Strategy on Survivor?: I'm a therapist in real-life, so while I may look like this big, muscular, tough guy, I still know how to deal with people's feelings. I'm going to play the social game like no one else ever has, and since I know a lot about human psychology, it shouldn't be hard to bend people to my will.

Who is Your Favorite Past Survivor Player and Why?: Aras Baskuaskas, we almost have the same name, and the guy really knows how to relax his mind and keep calm. I have that same ability and bet I can pull the same result he did his first time.

Who is Your Least Favorite Past Survivor Player and Why?: Andrew Savage. I never liked watching the guy, and he has it all wrong that this game is about building shelter's and leading tribes. It's a social experiment, and he treats it like it's a team sport. I can't stand behind someone who ruins the integrity of the game that way.

What Makes You Unique?: I know the psychological patterns of others that will give me the starting advantage in this game, and I will be able to deduce what makes people tick. I have a personality that makes you want to tell me all your secrets, and I'm going to use that to my advantage like no one else.

Are You a Brain, Beauty, or Brawn?: I'd call myself a mix between Brawn and Beauty. Brawn because I'll dominate the challenges, and Beauty because I'll be able to make the social relationships needed to win this game.
