Profile

 * Tribe Designation: TBD

 * Season 01 Contestant You Are Most Like: Colonel Nicole Thompson, an Australian hero. Nothing but respect for our men and women in uniform. I respect the way Nicole played the game, leading a loyal alliance and I hope to do the same.

Violet is a wife and mother from Albury-Wodonga on the New South Wales and Victorian border. As someone married to a member of the armed forces, Violet has had experience living in many towns across Australia.

''I grew up in inner-city Melbourne and lived there for the first twenty-six years of my life. It wasn't until I married my husband that I moved away. We've lived all over the country, depending on where he was stationed, but that's what happens when you marry into the military. I've changed friendship circles and jobs that many times that I'm an expert at it now, I'm hoping those skills will help me on Survivor.''

Violet has been married to her husband, William, for sixteen years. Together they have two daughters, Grace, 14, and Jane, 12. Violet currently works part-time as a teacher's aide, but her primary role is as a caretaker and homemaker for her daughters.

''When Will is on deployment, he can be gone for months at a time. It can be really tough on the family back at home, so we're very close-knit, because we pull together to support each other. This will be the longest time I have been away from my kids, but I know that I can do it, their father does three times as long when he's on tour.''

Violet's husband is currently on tour of Afghanistan and will return the day she is to arrive home in Australia.

''I keep imagining this triumphant scene at the airport, Will returning from duty, safe and unharmed, and me returning from Venezuela a millionaire. We'd both get to come home as heroes. It's hard to leave my kids in the first place, but even harder to leave when their dad isn't there. If I win though, it will all be worth it, the money could just change our lives.''
