Jacob Chapman

 is a contestant from Survivor: Bermuda - Brain vs Brawn vs Beauty.

Profile
Name (Age): Jacob Chapman (26)

Tribe Designation: Stovel

Current Residence: Princeton, New Jersey

Occupation: TV News Anchor

Claim to Fame: My mother, Beatrice Chapman, competed on the show twice before.

Inspiration in Life: My Mom. She and I have a very close bond because I'm her only child. She was the first person I came out to and she welcomed and accepted me, which gave me the courage to come out to everyone. She's taught me everything I know in life and I'm so grateful.

Hobbies: Taking care of my three dogs, Lola, Dolly and Rufus; going out to clubs (my Mom manages a nightclub so it's a great excuse) and playing checkers.

Pet Peeves: People who abuse animals. They're poor and defenseless and all they want is to be loved, yet some people suck so much they can't even do that. Hearing about animal abuse makes me absolutely sick to my stomach.

3 Words to Describe You: Friendly, approachable, mediator

If You Could Have Three Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: 1) This is gonna sound weird, but one of my dogs' toys. I won't be able to physically bring my dogs out here but the toy would serve as a reminder of them. 2) Soap because I'd hate to smell bad. 3) A razor and shaving cream because facial hair is gross and untidy. Being a TV presenter I have to care about my appearance.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Aras, from Panama and Blood vs Water. I consider myself a people person and sort of a mediator. I think I could keep a struggling alliance together, just like he did.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Mom did it and loved it, so now it's my turn!

Why You Will "Survive" SURVIVOR: I'll survive because I'll come in with the advantage of already having some idea of what to expect, given that my Mom has played before.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I'm a very approachable person who gets along with just about anyone. I'm a very genuine friend and I can look at both sides of the story, so I'll be able to be a mediator if there's cracks in my alliance. That'll make sure my alliances stay intact and we'll avoid any surprises.
