 is a contestant from Survivor: Curaçao - Nightmare Island.

Profile
Name(Age)- Vincente Salazar, 50

Occupation- Cancer Research Scientist

Current Residence- Hartford, Connecticut

Tribe Designation-

Claim to fame- My confidence. I dealt with so many people that are lacking confidence when I worked as a doctor. I’m proud that I’ve never lost confidence in myself even through tough times.

Hobbies- tennis, drawing, and taking walks

Pet Peeves- white chocolate, ketchup, eggs, I could go on. I’m picky when it comes to food.

Inspiration in life- My wife is the obvious choice, but she’d be embarrassed if I said her. I’ll say myself. After being diagnosed with cancer, I knew I wanted to go into the cancer research field. Luckily I had stage one cancer that was easily removed, but that opened my eyes to how quickly everything can be taken away from you.

Three things you would bring on the island and why-

1. First aid kit. Being evacuated would be the worst case scenario.

2. Pen and paper. Art is a favorite pastime of mine.

3. Contacts. I hate wearing my glasses. I’m not looking forward to wearing them on the island.

Reason for being on Survivor- It’s a check off the bucket list. Let’s be real, Survivor’s made for young people. I’m nearing the age when Survivor would become too extreme for me.

Why will you be the Sole Survivor- I know just the right way of how to act around all different types of people. From my time of being a doctor, I’ve handled every personality you could ever can think of. I’ve learned the right way to act around different types of people.
