Francine Griffins

 is a contestant from Survivor: Japan - Izu Islands.

Profile
Name: Store Owner (47)

Personal Claim to Fame: Launching my nook of a store despite all the criticisms I heard from potential loaners and family. My new-age eclectic store is such a lovely atmosphere and one of a kind in my area, and I'm proud of it! It's gotten so much more people interested in crystals, spirituality and non-mainstream ideals and practices.

Hobbies: Crystal shopping, meditation, yoga.

Pet Peeves: People who leave store items in the wrong aisle. I have such a small store, it's not difficult to put it back in the right store, compared to lets say, a Walmart!

3 Words to Describe You: Confident, Compassionate, Cultured.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: The million dollars. While my business is a success so far, I still have loans I have to pay off. I'm not sure there's a candle or oil I can burn that'll help with that, unfortunately (laughs).

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I feel connected with nature, and I don't think I'll crack under the pressure of being out here. I'm calm, reasonable and likable.
