Name (Age): Forrest Weaver (25)

Tribe: TBA

Hometown: Yankton, South Dakota

Occupation: Health Food Specialist

Claim To Fame: Losing over 150 lbs and turning my life around. I was a big ol' bastard in high school and junior high, Over 300 lbs by age 20 and it caused a lot of issues for me, not just because of the usual bullying and shunning in school, but also because I was literally eating myself to death. I had horrible cholesterol problems and was in danger of having a heart attack before I was old enough to drink! To make matters worse, I found out that my mother was pregnant with my second brother, Dean. I felt like I had already failed to be a good role model for my first brother, Thomas and I didn't want to keep failing. Now I'm down to 160 lbs and healthier than ever.

Hobbies: Exercising to stay healthy, playing with my little brothers and walking my dogs!

Pet Peeves: Bullies (Three guesses why), People who tell others they're failures, People who give up after one or less tries.

Why will you "survive" Survivor: Dunno, that's part of the fun! Sure I could say the usual stuff; I like camping, I know how to filter water, I can build fire or shelter, but let's be honest home much of an impact do those things really have in this game? It's all a game, a very unpredictable game, so the best I can do is stay out of trouble.

Why will you be the Sole Survivor: Because I'm gutsy enough to play this game hard, but smart enough to take things slow. I never intend on being anybody's pawn, and if I ever hear my name come up I'll do my best to make them go after my target. I'm also never going to tell anybody about my past. Inspirational sob stories are a good way to go from sitting on the beach to sitting on the couch, plus I really don't see what impact it has on the game, so there's no reason to bring it up. Most importantly though, this is a game, and I know that, but these are real people too. Yes there will be backstabbing, blindsides and betrayal, that's just part of the game, and I'm not going to be any exception, but you got to draw a line somewhere and have some morals. Get to know the people behind the game, but never use their home life to trash them.
