Profile
Name (Age): Cleo Cashion (44)

Occupation: Funeral Director

Claim to Fame: My meticulous planning, honestly. People will tell you that I’m the most prepared person in the world. I plan everything I’m eating, doing for the day, allotting time and getting everything done. It drives my friends crazy that I’m so prepared but I still do allocate certain nights for fun and if I’m done with everything I need to do, I’ll relax early.

Inspiration in Life: My mother, the one who instilled in me how important it was to have a schedule during my education years. This worked perfectly as I’d often finish assignments a week or so in advance and give myself time to prepare, plan for any setbacks and make sure that it was always the best it could possibly be. We’re very close and I make time to see her quite a lot.

Hobbies: I’m always wanting to learn new skills or try new things, and so I love to cook new dishes I find online or do arts and crafts. I absolutely love a new book, too. I’d definitely consider myself a bookworm, and I’ll read any genre.

Pet Peeves: Taking someone else for granted and assuming they’ll always be there 24/7 whenever you need them, like some on call maid; undisciplined children. They are the bane of my existence. I understand experiencing a childhood and believe me I’m not trying to be the fun police. Kids are allowed to be excited and have fun, but I’m talking about the children who run amok in supermarkets or are incredibly rude and entitled.

If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why:

1) Some craft supplies so I can make some things from what I find on the island.

2) A great book. I feel like we could have storytime and then they’d never want to vote me out because they’d want to know what happens next! Haha.

3) Salt and pepper. It’s a life saver when cooking and it could really add some sort of flavour to the rice and beans that we’ll be cooking out here.

SURVIVOR Contestant You are Most Like: I think I’m an Aubry Bracco type. She struggled to adjust to the elements initially but soon she became one of her season’s stronger players and was able to lead some great moves. In my opinion, she should have beaten Michele.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I’ve spent every day of my life planning down to the last detail, while Survivor is a game that doesn’t allow that. You have to adapt on the fly, make split second decisions and be willing to completely go against your plans if it ends up being best. I want to push myself out of my comfort zone and see what happens when I don’t have the safety net of my plans.

Why You Will Survive SURVIVOR: Because I researched before coming out here, of course! I know about the fruits, the wildlife, how to weave palm fronds, what makes a good shelter, everything there is to know about surviving.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I genuinely think this will be a growth experience for me and I’ll come into my own with more confidence. I’m coming in here willing to adapt to the changing situations that will come my way and I think I’ll be able to work myself into a great strategic position with some trustworthy people and hopefully be able to use challenges as a backup. I’m no beast but I have a lot of skills that could come into use.
