Profile[]
Name: Ivan Zalinsky (30)
Tribe Designation: Cusco
Current Residence: Richmond, VA
Occupation: Gym Owner
Personal Claim to Fame: Coming to America from the Ukraine when I was only eight years old. It was a big change to adapt to but it was ultimately better for my family's situation at the time and we've been able to come across so many more opportunities.
Inspiration in Life: My parents for giving me the opportunity to make something of myself. If we had stayed in Europe, the chances of that would've been not so good. But they have done everything they can for me and I am thankful for that everyday of my life and I still continue to be thankful for their devotion and kindness.
Hobbies: Reading, Boxing, Hanging out with my girlfriend, and Hiking.
Pet Peeves: Those who judge others based on first impressions and first impressions alone. There is so much more to a person than just their appearance and their occupation. I personally get judged on my accent and it drives me crazy when people write me off for that without even giving me a chance to get to know them.
3 Words to Describe You: Athletic, Active, Laid-Back.
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I don't know of any past contestants that I'm like. I'm my own person and I think that I'll make my own mark on this show like everyone else in the past has done.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want to save up some money so that me and my beautiful girl can finally tie the knot and get married. That requires some good financial backing and I think a million dollars would definitely suffice for that.
Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I'm a strong person both physically and mentally. There is nothing in me that is going to just quit and let everyone watching back home down. No, that is not going to happen. Whatever mother nature has prepared for us, I'm ready for it.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I am a strong guy who can do good in the challenges and I know that my tribe will want me around for that. However, I also have the ability to just chill-out and be quiet when I need to be. I'm definitely not the type to take on that alpha-male role, that's for sure! I'll be able to blend in really well and once people start to notice that I'm still around, I can kick it into high gear and start making some moves to get to that Final Tribal Council.
