Name (Age): Eula Kostner (68)

​Hometown: New Canaan, CT

​Occupation: Nursing Home Manager

​Personal Claim to Fame: At the last potluck dinner, I saved one of the residents, Reginald, from choking on a piece of pork! It was one of many little moments that make me feel good about the job I do, it's just wonderful to work at a nursing home because as an older person I really understand the residents.

​Inspiration in Life: Mother Theresa, surely. Her selflessness and faith really left an impression on me and she led me to pursue service jobs.

​Hobbies: Crocheting, taking long walks, spending time with my enormous family (especially the grandkiddies!)

​Pet Peeves: Quitters, judgy people, and arrogance. Some people just don't know how to live life right and enjoy putting others down, and I really don't like people like that.

​3 Words to Describe You: Diligent, Sweet, Patient

​SURVIVOR Contestant You are Most Like: Probably Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien from Marquesas and All-Stars, just a little less intense and kooky.

​Reason for Competing on SURVIVOR: I know myself well already and my life back home is exciting, so this isn't a journey for personal discovery or to break the day to day monotony. No, the nursing home truly could use some money for expansions and repairs so we can hold more residents, and my husband Ernest and I don't have a lot saved up for when we plan to retire in our 70s, so we do need the money. Also, Ernest and I have watched the show since Borneo. I never really considered going on the show until recently, but I'm elated that I get to compete on the show I've watched my whole life.

​Why You Believe You Will Become the SOLE SURVIVOR: These days in Survivor, people go after threats over liabilities even in the first stages of the game, so I think even though I'm weaker than many I'll be able to survive. I'm patient and I plan to lay low for most of the game, forming strong friendships with everyone, and when the time is right I won't hesitate to make a move. I won't be a big strategic or physical player because those people always get targeted; I'll play a strong social game and use that to be a big player at the end, when it's too late to take me out.

​Additional Information (to allow me to know more about him/her): Eula was always an average student, and she became a social worker when she got out of school. She married her husband Ernest when she was 23, and they had five children: Anna, Constance, Joshua, Lillian, and Michael. They all have grandchildren so their family is very large. When Eula was in her 40s, she started working at the nursing home and took over as manager when she was 48. She loves it, but plans to retire at 75 with Ernest and move to Florida to live out the rest of their days.
