Profile
Name (Age): Noah Strickland (25)

Tribe: Zwazo

Current Residence: New Haven, Connecticut

Occupation: Theater Writer

Personal Claim To Fame: Getting as far as I did in Temotu, if you were to tell me before I went onto the show that I would end up getting runner-up in the game I would not believe in you in the slightest. Like that show really helped me overcome my confidence issues due to the fact I a disability, and I showed people on TV that you don't need to use it as a crutch, that you could push past it and show that people like me can really secure themselves a good place in the game without having to do a sob story next to it.

Inspiration In Life: I guess William Shakespeare? I know it's kinda cheezy for a theater person to say that but I believe he's a big inspiration to me since his plays are so complex and twisted that I kinda want to go in that direction of writing, and push myself so always bring a deeper meaning to what I write even if it's a small monologue or a simple one act play. It'd be fun to just be as famous as him, even though I know I'm not going to, it's still nice to imagine a life as luxurious as his.

Previous Finish: Temotu: 2nd Place

Favorite Past Moment: I think the main moment was really early into the game where Lacey came over to talk to me, and to help me open up a little bit more. I was for sure ostracizing myself, and Lacey pulled me back into the game because I was a little anti-social and a little shy going into the game. I would say she was the reason why I got so into this game, and why I was able to do the things I was able to do. It really just helped me push myself outside my comfort zone, and I completely thank Lacey for that.

Previous Survivor You Respect The Most: Corey Perkins, (Survivor: Temotu) I honestly love him to death, and it hurt when I had to face him in jury. Blind siding him was probably the worst thing I ever did in the game, and I'm honestly glad to see him get a second chance in Kinglake. I'm just glad he forgave me overtime, and that we sometimes talk with each other. We aren't as close as I'd like to be but at least I can say he's a friend and that's good enough for me. I don't want him to hate me so I'm glad he doesn't.

Previous Survivor You Respect The Least: Tiffany Carlisle, (Survivor: Temotu) Just because she quit, I mean come on I went out there with a disability and I never thought about quitting, but she decided to quit because she had enough. Like you knew what you signed up for and you shouldn't have auditioned in the first place. Sorry I'm ranting, I just don't like quitter, and I really hope no one quits in this upcoming season.

Why Did You Comeback: I'm not exactly proud of the way I played my game the first time around. I betrayed people, I didn't own up to moves I made, and I just wasn't too keen it. I know I cried a lot during and after the season because I just wasn't proud of how I played, and now coming back I don't want to be that way again. I won't let this game get into my head, and I'm going to play with a lot more honesty so I can be way more happier with the game I played. Overall I just want redemption for myself, and myself only even if I don't win, which I'm probably not but I'm always going to try my best.
