3 words to describe you
Outgoing, strong-willed and self-motivated.
Survivor contestant you are most like
J.T. He played a great game and won. He is country, strong-willed, a great competitor, good to get along with, not a quitter and true to his word in the end. I'd like to think if you put 15 years on him, he would mirror me - except I'm better.
Reason for being on Survivor
It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to prove that you can survive with next to nothing for 39 days and be one of 23 people in the world to be named Sole Survivor. (And a million dollars would be nice).
Why you think you'll "survive" Survivor
I'm used to living out in the elements on a daily basis. I'm a hard worker. I can build a fire, shelter and I can hunt and fish. I'm easy to get along with, always have a positive attitude and a lifetime of little tricks to make life nicer while camping in the dirt.
Why you think you will be the sole Survivor
After applying 14 times, I am driven and very determined to win the game. I will stop at nothing!
