Profile
Stan Bailey, a 46 year old Electrical Engineer from Jefferson City, Missouri, has always been a super fan of the show. Contributing to many Survivor blogs and fan websites, Stan hopes that all of this has prepared him to take on the real thing. He claims he isn't doing this for the prize money, but for the sheer enjoyment of the show.

Survivor: Caucasus
When the game started, Stan was placed on the blue Alazani tribe. He was very eager to start playing the game, claiming that he'd been a great fan of the show and has been a keen observer since it first aired.

Once his tribe got to their camp, newly appointed tribe leader, Sebastian Hibbard, gave Stan the task of gathering supplies for their shelter along with Samantha Marino, Mary-Jean Pettie, and Amy Corazon. However, as he was doing work around camp, Stan noticed that fellow tribemate Van Stevenson was taking advantage of the girls as he had them do his work for him. These actions would enrage Stan as he would later try to convince the rest of his tribe to vote him off. Unfortunately, the tables would then turn on Stan as his poor challenge performance in the season's first Immunity Challenge put him on the block.

At Tribal Council, Stan pleaded with his tribe to keep him instead of the untrustworthy yet stronger Van, even going as far as throwing him under the bus and telling Phoebe Noyola and Lauren Faas that they were being used. This angered both females which then stated that he was getting their vote. After the votes were cast, Stan, convinced he was going home, pulled out a Hidden Immunity Idol, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a fake and he was still voted out in a 8-2 vote, with the only person voting with him being Mary-Jean.
