Gabby Ellis

Gabriella "Gabby" Ellis is a contestant from Survivor: Mauritius.

Profile
Name (Age): Gabriella “Gabby” Ellis (30)

Tribe Designation: Le Morne

Current Residence: Manchester, NH

Occupation: Real Estate Agent

Claim to Fame: Staring my parents straight in the face when they told me not to dye my hair, leaving the house, and coming back with my beautiful greenish-blue hair that I have now. They were pissed with me at the time, but I stuck to the look for so long that they got used to it, and they appreciated how brazen and confident I was to defy them so openly.

Inspiration in Life: Hayley Williams! I’m a huge fan of Paramore, and Hayley has been through a lot of s***. She suffered depression, had almost every member of the band leave at some point, and even lost her husband during her career, but despite that, she continues to release music and has a smile on her face. She’s also the exact same age as I am, so I see her as a role model in pretty much every way.

Hobbies: Listening to music, laughing my way through terrible Tinder dates, and drawing. I’m actually not too bad of an artist!

Pet Peeves: People who judge a book by its cover. Like, they see that I’m a short girl with blue hair and assume I’m some crazy SJW that’s going to yell at them about the patriarchy or something. Uh, no, I’m not insane, thank you very much. On that note, I can’t stand political correctness. Everybody should just mind their own business, seriously.

3 Words to Describe You: Brazen, confident, & rebellious

If you could bring 3 things on the island with you, what would they be and why?: Uhh, probably some hair dye because my hair’s gonna look f***ing terrible as the game goes on, a picture of my family because, even though I rebel against them from time to time, I do love them, and a notepad with some pencils so I can draw when I get bored.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: Skanda Fox from Upolu. I f***ing love her look and we're both women who know what we want. I believe that I will play a strong game just like she did, and I’m planning on finding my Johannes - my ride-or-die - as soon as I possibly can.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I could really use a million bucks. I’m a real estate agent, so I’m not poor by any sense of the word, but like… it’s a million bucks! I’m also just happy to be on a TV show like this. I’m not big on reality TV, but it’s just exciting to compete on a national stage. Like, what if I win the million dollars and get famous out of it? Sign me up!

Why you will be the Sole Survivor: I might come off as brash and unlikable, but in my daily life, people tend to like me because I’m not fake and I don’t really beat around the bush. I’m also willing to do anything to get through another three days in this game. I’m going to find my ride-or-die as early as I can, and if somebody suggests something that’s bad for my game, they’re going to know about it! Just because I’m willing to pull out all the stops and I’m not here just to play nice, I’m going to get very far in this game.
