Bio
Shii Ann Huang was a contestant on the reality show, Survivor: Thailand in 2002 and on Survivor: All-Stars in 2004.
She was the 7th person voted out of Survivor: Thailand and the 13th voted out of All-Stars (and the 4th member of the jury).
Knowing she would be voted out at Tribal Council in All-Stars, she took the opportunity to expose the two "Power Couples" (Rob-Amber and Rupert-Jenna, who also had a strong alliance) to each other and to Big Tom, so that no one could pretend not to know of the alliances.
She also "outed" Amber as being the person most likely to win the game because no one recognised her deception as they did Rob's, and warned others to be wary of her.
Amber Brkich did go on to win the million dollar prize. She was then told she could choose another player to receive a free automobile. She gave the car to Shii Ann, whom she credited as being the swing vote in her 4-3 victory.
Shii Ann was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and immigrated to the United States via New Jersey when she was eight years old. Two years later, she moved to Mesa, Arizona, where she became a state champion speech and debate competitor during high school.
She also raised a prize-winning sheep as a member of Future Farmers of America.
After high school, Shii Ann attended the University of California, Berkeley where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree (with honours) in English Literature.
She then moved to New York City, where she received a master's degree at New York University/Tisch School of the Arts' Interactive Telecommunications Program.
She previously worked as a web producer and an advertising account executive.
Shii Ann enjoys learning about new cultures, traditions and customs. Her curiosity has lead her to pursue diverse hobbies such as Afro-Cuban dance, Szechuan cooking, travel photography and writing.
She spends much of her time keeping up with New York City's diverse arts and cultural events. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring new restaurants around the city with friends.
Shii Ann is currently working in New York as a Senior Associate for the Corcoran Group, a prominent realtor.
