Profile
Name (Age): Veronica O'Hara (48)

Tribe Designation: Gombey

Current Residence: Glen Burnie, Maryland

Occupation: Nurse

Claim to Fame: When I was around 19, I formed a moderately successful jazz band. I have very fond memories of it and had the time of my life.

Inspiration in Life: Ella Fitzgerald. She was the greatest female jazz musician of all time, and listening to her growing up was what inspired my love of jazz. Although I've long since left the music business behind, to this day I still adore it and I have the music of Ella Fitzgerald to thank for inspiring me to live my dreams.

Hobbies: Although I'm not in the business professionally anymore, I still love to get together with old band mates and sing every now and again. I'm also a frequent activist for LGBT rights and issues and if there's anything I can do to help, I will.

Pet Peeves: Anyone who tries to deny the rights of LGBT people; those who are judgmental and fail to realise that others have different morals and beliefs to them.

3 Words to Describe You: Passionate, misunderstood, motherly

If You Could Have Three Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: 1) Jazz music. This needs no explanation. 2) A picture of my husband and two daughters. I'm doing this for them. 3) An endless supply of oreo cookies and milk. They're my guilty pleasure. SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Dawn Meehan. I can be emotional and I'm definitely a motherly figure who can make strong social relationships.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To be remembered as something more than the woman who used to have a jazz band.

Why You Will "Survive" SURVIVOR: Being in the jazz life was tough and there were times where I had to go without a lot of things because we just didn't have the money. I know what it's like to live off very little and that will serve to my advantage out here.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I'm a strategic player. I'll still make the strong social relationships but I won't let them stop me from making the strategic moves necessary to advance in the game. Despite this, I hope that I'll be able to balance the two well enough to win the game.
