3 words to describe you
Driven, positive and enthusiastic.
Survivor contestant you are most like
Sandra, Parvati and Stephenie. I'm physically strong like Parvati and Stephenie. I'm in this to really play and win - like these women.
Reason for being on Survivor
Survivor is the best game on Earth! There's so much application to "real life." After watching as a fan for 10 years, I just know in my soul that it's my turn to play and win. Plus, it's the adventure of a lifetime and one million dollars!
Why you think you'll "survive" Survivor
I'm driven, tenacious, adaptable, funny, optimistic, intelligent and resilient. I can motivate/persuade people, and I think that's powerful/important at every stage of this game.
Why you think you will be the sole Survivor
I've got the drive and determination to dominate this game. And, as cliché as it sounds, I'm really "in it to win it."
