Misty Lamoureux

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

Profile
Name (Age): Misty Lamoureux (21)

Tribe Designation: Stovel

Current Residence: Naperville, Illinois

Occupation: Exotic Dancer

Claim to Fame: Going back to school to work towards completing my certificate of travel and tourism to pursue my dream of becoming a travel agent.

Inspiration in Life: My brother, Andrejs. My parents had high hopes for me and wanted me to become a doctor or lawyer, but I was never interested in college and dropped out, instead using my looks to my benefit and becoming an exotic dancer. Of course this wasn't my dream and I wanted to become a travel agent, but instead of supporting me, they disowned me. The only person I have contact with in my immediate family is Andrejs. He loves and supports me no matter what I do.

Hobbies: My two loves in life are animals and travel. I'm frequently volunteering at my local animal shelter or researching about other cultures and countries, preparing for all the travel I want to do in life. My love of travel stems from my mixed Latvian-French background. Due to the rich culture of my background, I've always been fascinated by other cultures. Pet Peeves: People who take one look at me and just see the dumb stripper. I'm actually quite smart. Also, people who assume that exotic dancers like me are being exploited. I actually enjoy my job and don't feel exploited in the least.

3 Words to Describe You: Sociable, calm, trustworthy

If You Could Have Three Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: 1) Travel books or books about other countries. I just love the idea of travelling so much and would love to share it with people as a conversation starter. 2) A hairbrush. My looks are everything right now and I'd hate to have my hair looking horrible. 3) The Latvian and French flags, to celebrate my culture.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Michele Fitzgerald, because I'm more than capable physically, but my biggest strength is my social relationships.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To give my parents a reason to be proud of me and show that I'm more than just the dumb whore who didn't go to college and became a stripper. I don't care about the money. All I want is to win back my parents' love.

Why You Will "Survive" SURVIVOR: My strong social relationships and my ability to get along with everyone. I'll provide a morale boost at camp, a shoulder to cry on, anything. I'll be very valuable to my tribe.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I'll aim to build many strong social relationships, which will hopefully get people to be more trusting of me, approaching me for information or moves and leaving my options open. I believe I'll be very heavily underestimated due to my looks and by the time people realise I'm a threat, it will be too late.
