Jimmy Talbot

James "Jimmy" Talbot is a contestant from Survivor: Mozambique.

Profile
Name (Age): Jimmy Talbot (24)

Tribe Designation: Makhuwa

Current Residence: Little Rock, AR

Occupation: Law Student

Claim to Fame: I was the quarterback for my high school's football team. In my senior year, we won the state championship!

Inspiration in Life: I'll have to go with my sister, Jennifer. She and I have always had an amazing relationship and we always have each other's backs. Sure, we argue every once in a while, but all siblings do. She's just a very strong person with an amazing heart and a great spirit.

Hobbies: Playing sports, studying (law school is not easy), watching Survivor, surfing the internet, hanging out with friends.

Pet Peeves: People that cheat on their partner are the absolute worst! I've had two of my girlfriends cheat on me and the level of betrayal and heartbreak is just devastating. The second one, I actually walked in on her having sex with another guy. When I asked her why, she just coldly responded with "I'm human!" To be honest, I've had a lot of difficulty opening up and trusting people fully after that. Laziness is another big pet peeve of mine. If you're going to do something, give it your all! You can't expect things to just be handed to you!

3 Words to Describe You: Smart, Social, Hard-working

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: 1) I'd take deodorant for sure, for obvious reasons. 2) A football to throw around. 3) Finally, a voice recorder just in case I catch people lying to/betraying me out there. I'd be able to play the recording for other people as evidence as to why we should get rid of the liar. That’s not saying that I personally won’t lie in the game, but that’s a whole other can of worms. (Laughs) 

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I'd consider myself to be a mix of Aras and Vytas. I'm social like Aras was, but I'll be more cutthroat and have a similar strategy to Vytas in Blood vs. Water.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I want to win the money to pay my way through Law School. My tuition alone is over $10,000 a year, so the million would help a lot!

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I've always set very high standards for myself and stopped at nothing to reach them. I'm an extremely determined person and I will do whatever it takes to win the game.

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: From what I've seen of this game, it reminds me a lot of the L.S.A.T. (Law School Admission Test). It's an extremely long and grueling test full of logic puzzles and they are in many different styles. So, much like the L.S.A.T., I'm going to have to relax and approach this game with an open mind. Hopefully the fact that I've taken that test gives me a mental edge over my competition.
