Bio
Mitchell Olson is an aspiring singer/songwriter who was a contestant on the second season of reality television show Survivor, set in the Australian Outback.
Olson was the 4th person voted off the show. He had made a strong alliance with Jerri and Amber, who believed Colby was with them in the vote.
However, Keith and Tina proved to have stronger ties to the Texan, and Colby sided with them in the vote, creating a deadlocked tie.
As Mitchell admitted he was ready to leave the game (having been targeted in the first place for being too weak), a past vote cast against him at the previous tribal council voted him out of the tribe (Keith, voted for by the Jerri/Amber/Mitchell alliance, had no previous votes).
He was thus voted out 3-3.
Olson has traveled around America performing in various stage productions. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in vocal music performance from South Dakota State University.
Having been raised on a farm in Vermillion, South Dakota, Olson currently resides in Union City, New Jersey, when not traveling with a production.
He is a member of the National Academy of Popular Music for Singers/Songwriters.
