User blog:Tanglefrost/Jeju Island- Cast Sneak Peek 4

I've reached the finale of Lombok and, as promised, here is the final cast reveal post for Jeju Island! There are six people left, so I'll reveal the last three for Hwangie and then for Jeonsa. Ready? Here they are:



KIRSTEN MARSHALL

35, Champlin, Minnesota, 

Dental Assistant 



At first glance, Kirsten knows that she'll stand out from the other women: she's a little bigger, a little quieter, and struggles to open up to people. She has lived on her own for the last few years, having survived domestic violence from her last relationship. She knows that she will have difficulty in a social game, but Kirsten knows she has been getting stronger over the last few years and feels ready to put herself out there again by going on Survivor. Over the last few years, Kirsten has relied on the strength of her friendships and knows the value of friends can get you far in the game. She doesn't think she'll have the cutthroat ability in her, but believes she'll be the most loyal person out there if she can break through the ice of the first few days.



MATTHIAS EBERT

Davenport, Iowa

Project Manager 



Matthias believes he has everything it takes to succeed in this game: being physically strong, capable under pressure and with a lot of outdoor experience, he is most looking forward to the challenge Survivor will bring. A loving husband and father, Matthias devotes his life to his wife and children, trying to make sure they have the best lives possible. A huge passion for Matthias is the military, as his father was a respected army veteran. In his spare time, he works for charities supporting veterans and often heads organisation of fundraising events. Matthias also believes that everyone has a story, and people should stay in the game based on merit, not preconceived biases. Despite the warm and friendly vibe he wants to give, he is playing for his family, he will not be afraid to make cutthroat betrayals.



THERESE PARKER-SMITH

46, Crown Point, Indiana 

Housewife 



Therese is your typical housewife: taking care of the domestic duties while her husband goes off to work and earns money. A strong feminist, she knows that other women may take issue with her lifestyle, but she believes that feminism is about the woman's choice, and this is hers. Having grown up with divorced parents, she knows the importance of family, and didn't want to miss a moment of their lives as they grew up. She has raised two strong-willed, children, a son and a daughter, who are now teaching and medical students respectively. In her spare time, Therese regularly volunteers or can be found enjoying lunches with her friends. In the game, Therese believes that everyone deserves a chance and will endeavour to give them that. Having served her family for over twenty years, she believes it's time to do something for herself and looks forward to the adventure.



ALISSA TRUMAN 

50, Lake Charles, Louisiana 

Sign Language Interpreter 



Alissa describes herself as a social butterfly who can back it up with strategy and physical performance. Having reached her fifties, Alissa devotes a great deal of time to maintaining her physical shape, including regular visits to her local swimming pool and gym. Alissa's interest in sign language began when her daughter, Isabella, was born deaf. She made it her mission to ensure there were no communicative barriers with her daughter and dedicated the next few years after she was born to mastering sign language. She and her daughter frequently communicate in this manner and she now works as a sign language interpreter for others. She is a strong advocate for the rights of deaf people and those with disabilities. In the game, Alissa knows she will have a target on her back for being an older woman and will look forward to shocking those around her with how strong she is.

<p style="text-align: center;">FORREST STEPHENSON <p style="text-align: center;">47, Washington D.C. <p style="text-align: center;">Insurance Broker  <p style="text-align: center;"> Being strong physically, a good leader and with a sharp mind and ability to make people feel comfortable, Forrest believes he has everything it takes to succeed in this game. Forrest's life motto is, if you want something done right, you need to go in and do it without messing around. He won't be afraid of challenges and is open to adapting plans on the fly given the information he has.. He wants to play aggressively and be one step ahead of his opponents but believes he has the means to control whatever situation he's in, be it a deep minority or a strong majority. Forrest's drive to succeed comes from a life of having to earn everything himself and work hard to stand out, as well as the strong examples his father set for him growing up.



<p style="text-align: center;">GIACOMO MALETTA 

<p style="text-align: center;">30, Bridgeport, Connecticut 

<p style="text-align: center;">Computer Technician 

<p style="text-align: center;">

Coming from a strong Italian-American family, Giacomo is loud, proud, the life of the party and ready to have a good time. Loyalty runs deep in his family, but he also knows this is Survivor and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to move ahead in the game. Despite his loud exterior, Giacomo is very smart, knows how people will perceive him and plans to use that to his advantage. He believes himself to have a good read on people and thinks if anyone has the means to sneak in and be a dangerous threat at the end, it's him. When quizzed on what he'll miss the most, his immediate answer was "Food." Used to hearty Italian meals and going back for seconds, he believes his biggest struggle will be the hunger. Giacomo wants to win to give himself a better life and have a little fun.
