Competitive, funny, charismatic.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like
I'm a mix of Boston Rob and Russell. They are relentless, clever, devious and will do anything to win. I'll play the game in a similar fashion.
Reason for being on Survivor
I want to win. To be on the show would be cool (no doubt), but to say you won Survivor - that's a whole other ball game. I consider it the ultimate challenge.
Why you think you will be the sole Survivor
I've been in those cutthroat pressure-cooker situations and I've succeeded. I am downright certain I could manipulate people and get them to vote my way. I will play this game hard!
