Sivu Xabanisa (23)
Astrophysics Student
If you're an astrophysics post-graduate student, you have to be smart - very smart. Khayelitsha-born Sivu is indeed the show's 'nerd', believing that education is the key to everything - on the condition that you use that key.
He taught himself how to swim and is busy learning the rules of tennis.
Sivu has analysed international seasons of Survivor to devise his strategy, but as all Survivors quickly learn, the game is not scripted television.
Will his status as the 'Survivor nerd' isolate him or be to his advantage?
