Name (Age): ​Jason Savage (23)

Current Residence: ​Huntsville, AL

Occupations: ​Model/Rancher

Hobbies: ​Hunting, Fishing, Spending Time with the Boys, Barbequing, Reading, Watching and Playing Football, Soccer, Handball, Listening to Tunes, and Alcohol Drinking... I mean, testing (​chuckling)

Pet Peeves: ​I'm not a fan of pessimists, but that's pretty much it. I'm sort've an open guy, and not a lot of things get to me all that much. I guess people who don't respect personal space can get under my skin a little, but not much can come to mind at the moment in terms of "pet peeves".

3 Words to Describe You: ​Outgoing, Athletic, and Humble

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: ​I'm on the show for a few reasons. 1) I love my mom. She's a strong force in the family household and she is a fan of Survivor​. I think it'll be a good thing for her when she sees that her son made it to the show. In addition, if I win, a large chunk of the money is gonna go to her. 2) The money is a motivator. I want to be a father and a husband, but I need the money to do so. I want to make sure I can emotionally and financially benefit for any future kids I have. 3) I would LOVE to test my experience in the outdoors, as I've never really gone camping before (aside from a few occasions in middle school). I think it'll be nice to go out into the wilderness for 40+ days or so.

Confessional: "It's so exciting to get on Survivor​! I mean, I love the show and I've been auditioning for a while. I tried to get on a Blood vs. Water season with my mama, but sadly it didn't work. I hope that I can prove to myself, my family, my friends, and to my contestants, that I am ready to play this game! (​smiling)"

Strategy/Gameplay: ​Jason is VERY likable, which can be both a hindrance and a help. In the game, it is known that the social are bound to be targeted, and Jason is aware. However, he knows that his best move would be to not make waves and to make friends and friendships that are genuine. Strategically, Jason might have a harder time and might need to align with someone with more strategic ability. Jason is a good person to have in the pre-merge portion of the game as he is strong with running, swimming, and throwing. But it's probably not the greatest move for the contestants to keep him around too long, or they might see the, what many of his friends call, "Challenge Train" slice them in half.

Predicted Placement: ​I believe Jason has no chance of winning, but we all know how I am with predictions. My prediction is that he is voted out late pre-merge or early post-merge. Anyone with a brain would not take him to the finals... I certainly would not.

Other Important Information: Jason was born on July 1, 1994 and is a passionate Christian who goes to his local church every Sunday (with the exception of possible family emergencies). Although he carries his bible with him at all times, but he does know about how religiously diverse people are, and he does not want to let his religion define who he is. That being said, Jason is openly tolerant of everybody regardless of race, gender, or sexual preference, considering his brother is openly gay. Jason left his old Christian church in return for a new Christian church because they would not accept a gay couple. Jason is single, but if he is attracted to a woman on the island, and the feelings are mutual, he does not have a problem with forming a romantic partnership.
