Clarence - played by GateGod (SurvivorSucks)

Name/Identity: GATEGOD
I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

I do nothing all day, except be on the computer. So, I can check the internet just about at any time all day long. Only problem hours would be when I'm sleeping/waking up. (12:00-10:00)

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

You asked me to play and it sounded super fun and cool. Still not sure how all this works, but it'll be fun figuring it out. If I were to play, my motivation would be to win!

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

Nothing like this. The closest things I can think of are the rpgs I used to be in/run for settings like Star Trek, X-Men, Buffy, etc.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

Russell Hantz, John Cochran, Rob Cesternino.

I'd say I think about the game in an overly strategic way like the above three. I'm OTT Confident in my abilities. Think I'm the best at whatever I do, etc. Also anti-social and awkward like a Cochran/Rob C when not on the interwebs.



5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Yul Kwon: I think he's the greatest player to ever play the game. I like him because of that reason and his level headed personality. Cerebral players are usually my favorite. Not usually a fan of the annoying characters, lol.
Brenda Lowe: Hottest contestant of all time. Everything about her is adorable. Loved her CPN Nicaragua edit and her CPP edit at the end of Caramoan. Love that she's a huge strategist and is mindful of everything she does.
Rob Cesternino: Played an incredible game in Amazon and has wooed me with his podcasts.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

To apologize, and then ask them to align with me. That or tell them how terrible and pathetic they are. It depends on my mood.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

CPN or CPP! Anything but OTT. x'D

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

UTRN Comp Beast.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

People who are quiet, flirtatious, or laid back.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

People who think they are better than they actually are.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

Strategic games like Yul Kwon's and Todd Herzogs. Even Russell Hantz/Malcolm Freberg type games.
Don't respect games like Sandra's.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

My strategy would be to align with as many people as possible, and attempt to win all the challenges so that I'd always be safe each week. Giving up in challenges would never happen. Ozzy Lusth mentality would kick in and I'd be unable to throw anything.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

My favorite pizza is the Pizza Hut Pan Supreme. You should try it. :3

Diane - played by Paperthinarsen (Reddit)

Name/Identity: paperthinarson
I am a member of the following forums: Reddit
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

I'm available at all hours of the day. I only work on weekends so Fridays and Saturdays are my schedule problems, however, you've stated that there are no games these days.

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

Who doesn't want a chance to experience the game of Survivor? I always say that if I were on the show that I would be more interested in playing the game than the money. Well, this is an opportunity to test my skills at playing the game without having to worry about any cash prize.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

Only games like The Stone around 10 years ago. Never anything actually live before. Of course the occasional Facebook game like Farmville.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

Cochran - I would say Cochran because I am intelligent, witty and sarcastic, yet I have a social anxiety similar to his. However, with an online game the social anxiety aspect isn't really an issue. I'm good at puzzle solving and strategizing, so I think that would be to my advantage.

Kat - While watching One World I realized that Kat exhibits certain personality traits like myself, mainly her kookiness. Her fellow contestants were taken aback at some points and I find it quite hilarious.

Ozzy - The third contestant I'm most like is probably Ozzy in the physical aspect. While I do have a bit of a social anxiety, I'm quite fearless when it comes to pulling physical stunts like Ozzy. I would have no problem climbing trees and diving the way he does. Granted, in this game that may not really be a factor.

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Malcolm- Mainly because he is a very physically fit and attractive guy. Malcolm is fun to watch because he's charming and great at both physical and mental challenges.

Eliza - Don't ask me why, I can't really tell you what draws me to Eliza. She's not very good physically, but she's a great strategist. Plus, her reactions at Tribal Council are always priceless.

Brenda - I have to say Brenda just because I really liked her game both in Nicaragua and Caramoan. She played two very different games both times, and I think she was likeable in each. It doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous either.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

Confrontation can usually be handled by listening to the other person. I don't see the point of creating drama for drama's sake. While this is a game, there are also social aspects taken into account in the Final Tribal Council. I think I would always try to help ameliorate any tension with others. To piss people off would be a player's downfall in the end.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

I think I would like to be portrayed as a smart but wacky person. I would hope my personality comes out in the show. If I were on the show I'd want to be a big personality so that I could make a name for myself as a good strategist who makes big moves. Even if those moves don't get me to the end, I would want them to be memorable.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

I think I may be suffering from delusions of grandeur in my beliefs about how I would be portrayed. I think I would be portrayed as a great strategist, but maybe not so much as a big personality. My edit probably wouldn't be as upfront as I would like, though people would definitely remember me.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

I can usually get along with most people. I had a person tell me once that his wife didn't think I liked her. His response to her was that she was being paranoid because I like everybody.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

While I do tend to like everyone, certain personality quirks that bother me are people who like to play devil's advocate. As a very logical person I don't see the point in playing devil's advocate, it just irks me. Really overtly arrogant players can get on my nerves as well, especially if they're undeserving of that arrogance.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

I respect an honest style of play, though there is room for strategy. I would find a much greater satisfaction in bringing my friends to the final three with me and losing to them, than to vote them out and bring an unlikable person who I know I can beat. Like I said, I care more about the gameplay than the money.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

My strategy is go by the numbers. For starters you find the majority alliance and stick with it until the merge. Always make friends and align yourself with the larger group without alienating people or using them. Make honest connections with people and truly develop relationships. I don't think I would play a ruthless game, but I do think I would play 100 percent to win the title of Sole Survivor.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

If I get the chance to play I would be fully dedicated to this game. While I do want to create relationships, people better watch out.

I recently finished up my Master's degree in Theology with plans to move on to my Doctorate soon. I think this is evidence of my intelligence and determination to get things done, as well as a testament to my honesty and integrity. Plenty of people on the show have played a religious game, and they've been generally likable by the viewers. I think I could bring a religious aspect to this season in Venezuela online.

Name/Identity: albert2006xp

Kim J - played by Limeandacoconut (SurvivorSucks, Reddit)

Name/Identity: limeindacoconut
I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks, Reddit
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

Summers coming up, so really I can devote all the time that is needed for me to stay afloat in the game. If I'm away or gone, I can still log in with my phone.

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

Next year I can audition for the real survivor, so why not tone my skills off of this?

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

I've played a few scattered ones that I can't really remember. They were all terrible and unmemorable. This one, 18 seasons in, already looks to be a winner. There was one that was decent on a website, however it was promptly cancelled after I was invited back to all-stars. It was Survivor, Japan on the website "Tengaged".

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

Oof, 3? I really don't want to sound snooty when I spout my answers. I'd like to think of myself as a JT, because he was such a nice guy, but knew what he had to do to better himself in the game. I do plan on being more under-the-radar then he was. Another example of how I'll use my friendliness to improve my standing is probably Jake Billingsly of Thailand. He had immense odds stacked against him, being the oldest man in a predominantly young tribe. His personality helped him merge, and despite being a boring guy, he really could talk to people that he had no similarities with. The last one, dare I say it, is Natalie Tannerelli. I hate to identify myself with a girl that didn't really play the game as hard as I would've liked, but to be honest, I think I will play a very similar game. I'll attach myself with a powerhouse who thinks this is his game, and watch him faulter. The difference between Natalie and I will be the fact that I won't be afraid to make moves, and I can easily pronounce myself at the Survivor Finale. I was in my high school debate team, so I can easily trounce a foe in the final. None of these people describe me 100%, as I am a completely different person in my mind.

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Oh man, my favorite? The way Erik Reichenbach composed himself in Micronesia was outstanding, and he was my favorite. His Caramoan display was sadly, badly edited. His Micronesia showing was still great though. I also have this soft spot for Dave Ball. He is my favorite, underrated survivor contestant. I feel that not enough was shown of him. Lastly, I would have to say, Yul Kwon. He has always been my favorite winner. He was smart, and knew what was going on. He was very lucky though, but I always believe that you have a little bit of luck while playing survivor.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

It kinda depends. If it's in private, I will obviously try to explain myself calmly. I don't want anyone to be mad at me in this game. If it's in public, then I will kind of kiss any chance of a alliance with that person goodbye and instead burn all my bridges with that person. I don't think I'll find myself in that position though. Then again, anything happens in Survivor.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

I'd like to be shown as smart, but not arrogant. I'm hardly confident that i'll make it far without a little bit of elbow grease and luck. I would also wan't to be known as the guy that let everyone else play the game. I'll still play the game, but only when I need to. I won't make any unnecessary blindsides and I'll likely just try to align myself with whoever has burned the most bridges. To summerize: I won't win my game, i'll force the other person to lose his game.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

Probably as a "Purple", or a "Pleb". I'm just there. That's only because survivor is becoming more of a personality contest, and not a strategic contest. If I were on the show back around the Vanuatu seasons, then I would probably be shown as the guy with the "leash strategy". I have this "Leash Strategy" in mind, where I "control" everyone, and I let them believe their playing this game. In reality, I have them on my leash.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

I'm not a picky guy, I'll get along with anyone that talks to me back. I prefer someone with a sense of humor, but anyone really is fine with me.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

People that honestly believe they can win the game just by walking on the beach. I know there will be at least a few people who will honestly believe that they will win this game with the strategy they pre-planned for this game. They don't realize that Survivor is a forever-changing game. You can't walk onto the island with a strategy. Instead one needs to come to you.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

Adaptability. People that change according to their surroundings to improve their placement.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

I have a vague strategy, which is to talk to everyone and find where everyone is at. But honestly, Survivor is viable to change. I'm not set as to what I'm doing yet. I'll need to see the cast, and see how many people are willing to team with me.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

I like to think I'm funny, but I'm also very critical of myself. I will second and third guess myself constantly. I 'unno. If this was real-life survivor, I would probably tell my interviewer that I played rugby for 3 years. Physical fitness really doesn't matter though. So I guess, to generalize my strategy: I'll let others make the big moves, and take the faults for them.

Kim P - played by PLA (SurvivorSucks)

Name/Identity: PLA
I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

I have done ORGs before and have always had the time. Especially now with school ending on Wednesday I will have much more time! My problem hours would probably be like 4:00 AM-9:00 AM (Most likely sleeping during those hours)

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

ORGs have always seemed like they would be fun to do. I played one on Survivor ORG wiki and got 6th. It was a blast and I would really like to play on these instead of the wiki because these seem a lot mor professional.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

I have played in one ORG on Survivor ORG wiki and got 6th out of 21.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

I would say that I have the lip of Courtney however I feel like I would be much more gamebot. I think I would be like Rob C who is at the core a Gamebot but doesn't come off as boring. The third would probably be Brenda because I would like to have developed, real, honest relationships with the other castaways but at the same time play the game as hard as possible.

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

My favorites would be my little trio of female HBICs Parvati, Brenda, and Ami. I love how they pretty much ran the game and didn't need a man to do the dirty work.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

At first shock and then I would bite back. I am not someone to be taken lightly and I don't have a problem speaking my mind.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

I would want to have funny one-liners like Courtney and Tyson. I wouldn't mind being portrayed negatively if it was for strategic reasons. I would want people to see me as strong-minded, capable and a real threat to win.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

My jokes probably wouldn't come off as very funny and probably come off as more mean-spirited. I may come across as a bit ditzy when it comes to common sense things but trust me I know my stuff when it comes to Survivor.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

I get along with people who are witty and smart. People that don't take life too seriously. I like hardworkers, because I had to work to get where I am now. I also really like people who are free-spirted, open-minded, and worldly.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

Ignorant people. Growing up gay in rural Michigan I had to deal with a lot of ignorant bible humpers who told me I would go to Hell for being me. I also hate people who conform to anything mainstream and don't like things that are not mainstream just because they don't know about it. People who like Nicki Minaj or Lil Wayne just because that is what they hear on their mainstream radio stations.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

I like the people that get their hands dirty. The people that play no-holds barred. Putting that aside I also do respect the people that play UTR games as well.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

Depending on my tribemates I will either be super hands on and work them like putty, or stand back and observe them. I want to get to know the people I am playing with. Yes I will backstab if necessary but at the end of the day this is a game so I'm not to worried about that.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

Well I am 21 years old. I was born in St. Johns Michigan. I graduated 4th in my class. I am gay and had to deal with a lot of shit in my life but I am definitely in a better place now. I am currently attending MSU where I swim for the MSU team and am planning to become a Speech Pathologist.

Lex - played by sylReverie (Reddit)

Name/Identity: sylReverie
I am a member of the following forums: Reddit
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

I have a lot of time in the afternoon/evenings to devote to this. I can also check messages very frequently throughout the day. Problem hours are very late nights and around noon.

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

Survivor is very interesting to watch for me and I'd love to be able to simulate it.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

I'm a Diamond 1 League of Legends player if that matters.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

John Cochran - Smart, good at puzzles, under the radar.
Yul Kwon - Great strategy and social game.
Denise Stapley - Very likeable, friendly, also under the radar, everyone enjoyed having her around.


5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Malcolm Freberg - Smart, good at challenges, likeable, enjoyable to watch.
Jonathan Penner - Knows the game well, interesting to see his thoughts on events in Survivor.
Andrea Boehlke - Also smart, persistent, thinks ahead, good at challenges, friendly.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

Ask them what they're thinking/want to talk about. Other than that it depends on how much I know them and if I want to ally with them or not.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

Smart, likeable, good social game, good at challenges.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

Smart, under the radar, maybe lucky.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

People that are smart (cunning), friendly, likeable.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

People that are cocky or bossy.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

I really like the way Malcolm plays Survivor. He plays it smart, he's very social and likeable, he's very good at challenges and he knows when to use immunity idols (not to mention he keeps finding them). Overall smart, friendly players who are honest.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

Try to come off as likeable, friendly and not a threat. Try to be friendly with many players and not be seen as threatening or conniving. However I'll be doing much thinking about what my best move is and try to pull it off without anyone noticing.

Linda - played by TheDarkSheppard (SurvivorSucks)

Name/Identity: TheDarkShepard
I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

Since it is summer I should have a large amount of time to devote to this. I could see myself picking up some work hours, but that is honestly doubtful where I live(small towns! Woo). I think there are 2 weekdays where I will be busy at nights during this.

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

Have fun, something to do. I loved Survivor(not it's current shell), and I am currently enjoying the ORG I am in right now

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

2 ORGs. Neither was full Survivor, they all had different typesof "rounds" with different stuff.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

Stephen is definitely the number one match. Smart guy with almost no outdoor experience. Not the most talkative. Sophie in the very smart, behind the scenes kind of person(in real life I end up doing a lot of the planning stuff with my friends, but it isn't really obvious as I am still an introvert) who can be very blunt. I'd like to think I could be a fun, snarky contestant like a Rob C or Courtney too, though I may fit the more assholish funny Randy sometimes

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Cesternino, Courtney, Randy. All very fun contestants who were always a joy to watch. Especially as they ripped on other people.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

Assess the situation. Find out what the problem is, whether or not their information is true, and how to deal with it/diffuse the situation.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

I'd like to be portrayed as a CPN, but a fun CPN as opposed to a douche or gamebot CPN. Like my relationships with other players being more important than just "SO I need to get rid of fan favorite John because he's too much of a threat". How boring.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

I'd probably be portrayed as UTR by the current editing team, though I may get a few narrational confessionals since I think I'd be decent at that. UTR/MOR edit, possibly with an N tinge.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

I get along with other introverts, so long as they do talk at all. People I can talk intelligently too or make jokes with, so high intelligence and good sense of humor are a must.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

Over the top crazy people. I can usually deal with them to an extent because it can be fun, but if it doesn't stop. I also can't take people who jump from idea to idea or person to person because I am very much an organized, planned person. I mean I always have other things in the back of my mind, but if I have an idea, I am most likely to stick with it.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

Someone who makes good relationships while still having a controlling part of the game. Doesn't need to be a mastermind, just have some sort of input/influence.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

My strategy would be to take it as it comes, Meet a few people on my tribe who I want to work with, start that alliance. Not necessarily stay true to old tribe lines, and always keeping my ear out to know everything that's going on. Not be seen as the major threat, but just as someone who knows what they are talkin about. Willing to jump ship if it truly benefits me(not a Cochran situation, but a Neleh situation basically).

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

Um. I've found I'm not necessarily the best at keeping a confessional, though I also havn't had people ask me questions during it really so that might be a difference. I do hope not to be a disappointment, and I'm not very experienced. I mean I guess thats it?

Lindsey - played by Diamondmachine (SurvivorSucks)

Name/Identity: diamondmachine
I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks, Other
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

I can devote a lot of time to this game. I play ORGs very often on a different forum and I'm known to be one of the most dedicated players there. When I play a game, I always devote a lot of time to scheming.

Since this game starts on June 14th (if I'm reading that correctly?), I'll be free a lot of the time. I'm in high school and I get out of school this coming Friday (June 7th). The only times I'd be consistently unavailable during would be when I sleep, which is like... All morning time EST (like usually around 3 AM-noon ish).

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

As much as I enjoy playing at the other forum I'm on and as much as I enjoy the people there, it gets a bit repetitive. The alliances are the same in most games and it gets kind of old. I'm looking to apply and play this game because it will be a refreshing change of pace - I'm looking for a REAL test that really shows how good of a player I am, without my friends here to help me along. And I'd love to make a few new friends along the way, too.

Also, I was reading about your philosophy and as a huge mega fan of the older seasons of Survivor I love the way you approach the game, because each player has their own unique point of view and story to tell. I LOVE that.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

As previously mentioned, I play games consistently at another forum that I'm a moderator on (rtvgames.com). I've probably played about 15 Survivor games there and I won 2 of them. However, there are also lots of other games there like Big Brother and I Love Money and some completely innovative and creative new concepts as well that I've played in and loved, too.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

1 - Katie Gallagher, for the bitchy and witty qualities she possesses and just generally being a fun person to be around.

2 - Todd Herzog, for being an overly ambitious player, for being gay, for being a Survivor superfan, for getting overexcited and being caught up in himself sometimes while playing the game.

3 - Helen Glover, for always wearing her emotions on her sleeve and having an extreme reaction to everything, whether it be elated or pissed off. Helen was always the first to show emotion to everything and her emotion was always the most extreme and real. I'm also an emotional person like that who wears everything on their sleeve.

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Narrowing it down to three is pretty impossible!

1. Sandra Diaz-Twine. She is, without contest, my favorite castaway of all time. There is no one who I have ever enjoyed and loved and rooted for as much as her. She is pure, unadulterated and unfiltered entertainment and every scene with her in it is instantly bettered for me. She's also one of my favorite players because for me, Sandra's style of play exemplifies what I think Survivor is all about: adaptation.

2. Richard Hatch. There's hardly anyone better than the original. Like Sandra, Richard is a great blend of amazing gameplay and endless entertainment. He's so intelligent and I really just never get tired of like... Listening to him speak? I don't really know a better way to put it. He pretty much invented Survivor, he's hilarious and entertaining on both of his appearances and I just love him both as a player and as a character and I can't stress that enough.

3. Courtney Yates. The first two were easy to come up with and this third spot was a lot harder. Do I put Cirie? or Rob C? or Katie, Kathy, Randy, Sugar, Coach, Lisa or Ami? Nope! The answer in my heart is Courtney. No one else made me laugh as much as Courtney did on China. Courtney was unfiltered entertainment. She was a bitch who also somehow managed to be endearing as well. She was also extremely self-aware, which goes a long way in my book and almost caused her to accidentally win China. Love her.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

One of my main issues both in games and in life has been not thinking before I speak. I've been trying to change that, because I hate how buckwild I can get in conflict situations. When I look back I usually get pretty embarrassed by the things I can say in the heat of the moment. I'd like to say that I'll think things through and argue rationally with people when I'm confronted, but odds are I'll get caught up in the moment and get pretty heated.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

One of two ways:

1. An edit similar to that of people like Kathy or Helen - a complex force where the show is able to present all the facets of my personality, both positive and negative, and make me seem human.

2. An edit similar to Courtney or Katie - aka "the bitch." I'd like to think I'm a pretty witty and bitchy person and I'm sure being around the same people 24/7 would drive me up a wall and give me plenty of nasty things to say about them. I could easily be a sound byte queen.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

The second one - the bitch. They'd probably simplify me into the stereotypical and catty gay. Which sucks because I think there's more to me than that.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

1. Alpha bitches. I'm generally a pretty submissive person who goes with the flow. Being in control of things actually makes me really anxious. I'm not a mindless follower, but I'd much prefer to not be the one in charge. I'm okay being the right hand man.

2. Funny people who don't take things very seriously. Life is to be laughed at.

3. Catty/witty/bitchy people. Mean is usually funny to me.

4. People who are genuinely nice/caring/compassionate/genuine.

5. People who may not be always nice, but are always real and upfront.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

1. People who take themselves too seriously.

2. People who use intimidation as a form of exerting power or control.

3. People who think they're better than they are or talk down to you.

4. People who indulge in self-pity.

5. People with no self-awareness.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

People like Vecepia or Sandra who are constantly adapting to the changing social dynamics of the game and constantly jumping off of sinking ships. There is nothing I respect more than when someone betters their own position in the game by jumping off a sinking ship. Survivor is an individual game. There's only one winner. Make it be you by whatever means necessary.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

If I haven't made it clear by now by saying what type of game I most admire, I want to take this opportunity of not knowing anyone and use it to play like a Vecepia. Make alliances and if they go down, I'm sure as hell not going down with them. I wanna be sneaky and I wanna be deceptive. Basically, I wanna be a shady, flip-floppy bitch and just have a lot of fun.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

There's not much else that I want to say that I haven't already said. I really hope you guys can put me in the game and if not, well... I'll be back next season! But I hope you enjoyed this application as much as you'd enjoy me being in the game. ;) #Ratings!

Gabriel - played by Skylar (Reddit)

Name/Identity: Skylar
I am a member of the following forums: Other
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

Nearly all of the day can go to the game for me. I don't really have problem hours. If I do, they're really early in the morning. I'm in the central time zone.

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

My main motivation for playing is to get out of the Proboards community I'm apart of and in to something extremely different. The use of PMs instead of AIM is incredibly different for me and it would be fun to adapt to that. I'm an extremely competitive player and would love to experience the ultimate game, and reading through this board it definitely seems like this has potential to be the best ORG I've ever played.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

I have! I'd say a total of 20 or so. I haven't been playing long, maybe only a year, so I still have a ton to learn. I know the ropes, at least, but I think this would be a lot different from what I've used to, and that's what makes me so excited!

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

Um, first I'd probably say KAT EDORSSON from One World because really she was just a big goofball at heart and I love that. Having fun is the best thing. :D She was able to get into a good alliance from the get-go and keep herself solid in that until she was blindsided. She definitely played the social game instead of a strategic game, and that's what type of person I am.

Secondly, I'd say... MICHAEL SNOW from Caramoan because he was fun and is an embodiment of what I'd like to be when I'm in the real world. He was cut short because of a lack of numbers on his side, but he was able to make friends in Corinne.

Lastly I'd say ELIZA ORLINS, because she never seemed to have good luck and that's definitely me. She had to do stuff on her own to progress herself through the game, and that's the kind of player I want to be!

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

My favorite are usually the ones with good/big personalities and are still good players.

My favorite contestant of Survivor would be CRYSTAL COX from Gabon. She had a huge personality and was able to stay in the game for quite a while with her partner in crime Kenny. She made tons of people laugh at home and executed big moves in the game. She was the person that really got me into SURVIVOR. Love her! <3

Next would be someone like KOURTNEY MOON, who had really bad luck but was really really quirky and cute. Her personality obviously wasn't shown too much on the show but in follow up interviews and stuff, she seemed like a REALLY nice person and wasn't upset about leaving. I just felt really bad for her because I felt that she had a lot of potential.

And CIRIE FIELDS from Panama and Micronesia is also one of my favorites. <3 She was hilarious and never took the game way too seriously. She had tons of fun in the game was a ton of fun to watch.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

Confronted over what? And who is it? What is my position in the game? It'd definitely depend on stuff like that. I mean, if it was in real life I'd probably and totally honestly cower and make up a lie. I HATE being confronted. I hate being put out of my comfort zone and am willing to lie and do whatever I have to feel comfortable again.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

If I had the option, I'd want to be portrayed as a social guy that's able to stay strong in adversity and trouble. I'd want to be portrayed as someone who has a level head and was always aware of what was going on, and executed moves when I needed to.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

I think I would be portrayed something similarly to that, depending on what other big personalities are there with me. I'd probably be portrayed as the token gay, and would probably in actuality be a bit clueless in their spot in the game. I could see myself being edited as a social but stupid player.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

Talkative introverts, people with punny senses of humor, and people that are honest. Those are really the type of people I LOVE talking to. I like people that get straight to the point but can also carry a lengthy conversation. I can get along with just about everyone but I think I'd be a bit more honest if I was cast, and wouldn't be afraid to say whatever I wanted to people if I needed to.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

Loud, abrasive, and outwardly vulgar people. And people that consistently try to one up everyone. Personalities like that sicken me and usually get a target on their back, courtesy of MOI.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

I respect a very social game, and not a cowardly game. A cowardly game would result in taking goats to the end instead of the most deserving. I respect the opposite (i.e. taking the most deserving to finals and winning against the best. Like Cochran in Caramoan with Dawn.) I also like a gameplay that's prevalence from being an underdog. Having to fight your way out of a tough spot is always really admirable.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

My strategy going into the game is to play a very middle of the radar game. I just want everyone to like me at first, and then if things were getting annoying I would easily make a name for myself by telling some people that so and so are annoying or so and so is a threat because ___. I'd want to lay low for a few episodes and then get better and better and more visible as the game went on.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

I've put a ton of work into this game and I hope that me applying late doesn't put me at a disadvantage! I would LOVE to play this game. If possible, IM me to let me know that my application was received! I'll be on practically all day for the next however long. I'm a really online person. :) Hopefully you guys like me! ~ SKYLAR

Name/Identity: ornithomax

A few years ago. Tough i'm currently into an non-survivor related ORG.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

Cirie Fields: Social and Strategic threat
Scout Cloud Lee: Ultimate underdog. Underated game overall.
Courtney Yates: Very funny character, witty. lots of one liners

I'm a passive person. So I wont go all out on a fight! But behind his back, I'll probably try to pull out the rug under him

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

Well as a student of the game, pretty strategic

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

Probably invisible like Carter lol. 'cause i'm not a social person

Gina - played by SpringfieldMonorail (Reddit)

Name/Identity: springfieldmonorail
I am a member of the following forums: Reddit
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

A lot of time- problem hours would be 8 to 5 M-W and occasionally 2-11 on Thursday or Friday as I work, but I already sneak off to check things on my phone anyway so this would be fine. Plus, I take long lunch hours.

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

There is so little percentage chance of getting on the show- I want to experience it in some form even if I can't play the real deal.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

I've always considered it but never have.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

Jonas, One World. Charming and charismatic, but not in a sleazy car-salesman way (Mick, Heidik, Reynold). Naturally trusted by everyone. People intrinsically trust me with incredibly personal details after knowing me for minutes. I am good at building rapport with people. So many people try to make friends by talking about themselves; if you simply shut your fat mouth for ten seconds and listen people will like you a lot more.

Jamie, Guatemala. I'm super paranoid. In professional situations, particularly. There's no way that won't transfer to the game. If I so much as hear my name come up as a target I know I'll freak. The idea is that hopefully everybody will trust me so much they won't even think about taking me out.

Dawson, Philippines. Her and I have the same humor. She knew Jeff Kent was a baseball player and she fucked with him just for the fun of it! It may have cost her but that's the kind of stuff I totally would see myself doing. If I can't have fun playing this game then what's the point of playing?

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Greg, Borneo. This guy would just take jokes so far down the rabbit hole no one knew what the hell was happening by the time he was done telling them. He was the Andy Kaufman of Survivor.

Courtney, China. The only person funnier than Tyson. Her off the cuff one liners and complete and utter hatred of everything was so damn hilarious. And anyone who has the stones to call Probst 'Jeffrey' has my respect.

Penner, Cook Islands. C'mon, the man is practically a legend by now. Him quietly consoling Lisa in the water in the Philippines is one of the greatest moments of all time. His combination of humor, self-awareness and passion (not to mention that voice) make him the most entertaining contestant to watch, bar none.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

I'd listen and hear their concerns. Understand the argument from their point of view. Most arguments are easily resolved by simply understanding what the other person is saying without losing your cool. You can't be defensive in a high stress situation like this.

Then I'd vote them out for daring to speak to me.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

Hopefully as the kind, funny guy with a big heart who made camp life a little more bearable.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

Probably like Dawn in Caramoan- people put all of their trust in me, and I vote them out to further my own position. Rinse, and repeat. It's not her fault nobody ever learned not to trust her, and it wouldn't be my fault that nobody learned not to trust me either.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

Every other personality type except those listed below.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

Control freaks, anti-social self-diagnosed autistics, people with huge egos, exclusionary people, incredibly irrational people.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

Big moves by players who aren't really in danger. It's easy to make a hail mary when you're sure you're the next one out and you've got very limited options. But a big move by someone who may be 3rd/4th/5th in an alliance refusing to get complacent and using those on the outside of their group to their advantage is so much more exciting.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

Strictly adhering to a pre-set strategy is dangerous. All I can really say is I'm going to try and understand my circumstances and what's happening around me to the best of my ability and react appropriately. Whatever that may entail in the moment.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

I really want to play as Dan Kay for some reason.

John - played by C-Gorr (Reddit)

Name/Identity: c-gorr
I am a member of the following forums: Other
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

I can pretty much devote as much time as I need to towards the game, my job as a teacher allows me to almost always be able to check messages etc. My two main problem days in terms of availability are Saturday and Sunday but I know Stranded doesnt usually run on these days it should be all good.

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

To get something as close to the Survivor experience as I can, to kill some boredom and to try and create a name for myself within the Stranded alumni.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

I've played in a couple of online Big Brother games on imdb under the username C-Gorr 2007. I cant really remember all of them but I do remember I kicked some serious ass competitivly and strategically in at least one.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

Johnny Fairplay: I love to lie, I love playing the villain and I dont really care about winning as much as I care about having as much fun as I possible can.
Rob Cesternino (in Amazon NOT All-Stars): I like to think that I could play a REALLY good social and strategic game and also be increadibly entertaining for people to watch. Plus I think I'm pretty damn funny...
Chris Daughtry: Daughtry's comeback is the stuff of Survivor legend and I like to think that I could make a similar comeback if I have too. I also think his ability to wrap the women round his finger in a non sexual or flirty way is also something I am good at in real life.

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Rob Cesternino: Strategic, social, entertaining and undderated.
Parvatti Shallow: Played an increadible game in FvF and HvV, should definatly hsve won the later.
Earl Cole: An increadibly undderated player, played a pretty much perfect game in my eyes, had complete control almost the whole game and made all the right moves while still remaining likable.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

Play it cool. Always. I want to make people lose their head's while keeping mine.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

As a strategic villain, no question. Also I would like to be portrayed as funny and charming in a Cochran or Cesternino type of way.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

See above. ;)

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

I generally get along with most personality types. I like people who dont take things personally, can have a laugh at themselves and others and dont take things too seriously. I also like average, common people, the kind of person that I dont have to worry about feeling to intellectual around.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

I cant stand people who think they are smarter than they are. I also dont like people that are too overbearing or controlling in an obvious manner. Lastly I cant stand the cheerleader/popular type young females.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

Definatly the social/strategic type of game play. I think the ultimate Gamedoc contestant is Will Kirby, he can control a game while people know he's a villain and never winning a competition. I must admit though I do have some respect for challange dominators like Terry Dietz which I know alot of Survivor fans dont.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

Start by making as many friends on my tribe as possible. Not making alliances straight out of the gate and just generally laying back for a while, really working to touch base with everyone as much as possible, making them think that I am a close ally of theirs without making an official alliance (because making official alliances early on makes things messy later on in the game if people start talking.) Also making sure that I am at least putting in some effort in challanges, making sure I'm not the lowest rung on the ladder (but not the percieved top dog either.)

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

Just know that casting me on this season will make it the most memorable yet. I'm here to entertain myself and the viewer as much as possible. I have no trouble cheating and lying to others in order to get ahead (infact I relish it). Also believe that no matter what happens everyone will have an opinion on me by the end of the season, they might hate me as much as hardcore fans hate Russell Hantz or love me as much as casual viewers love Rupert Bonham but no one will be indifferent towards me.

Patricia - played by Waka (ORG Yuniverse, Australian Stranded Community)

Name/Identity: Waka
I am a member of the following forums: ORG Yuniverse, Australian
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

I should be able to be on a computer during the appropriate hours of the day

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

I've played in a few ORG's but have yet to have the quintessential Stranded experience, and I've heard so much about it.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

I've played in a myriad of online ORG's, Survivor, Big Brother, and a handful of hybrids. My first was Australian Stranded as Rob Cesternino.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

Erik Reichenbach's attitude, Rob Cesternino's humour and Aras Baskauskas' rationale.

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Erik Reichenbach because I relate to him as a fan of the show and we have similar humour so I love rooting for him. Rob Cesternino because he is one of the funniest and best contestants to ever play. Tyson Apostol is another favourite because he is THE funniest Survivor contestant in my opinion, and I know someone in real life exactly like him.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

Initial reaction would be to talk it out and find the logic behind what they're saying, and see if I can reason with it. If it was illogical then there's no helping them and best to ignore them or move on.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

I'd like to be portrayed as the funny guy. I'd like to be shown as a solid strategic and logical player above all else, albeit with slight oddities due to my

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

Unless I won, I'd probably just be funny guy who provides narrator-y colour commentary. I'd have strategic moments but someone else would probably be shown as the main guy.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

I get along with logical people the best, but I'm an impulsive guy at the best of times and so I like people willing to do something a little crazy and odd in the world.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

Anyone who makes a self-reasoned argument. i.e "Do this because I said so" "I know this is true because it's obvious" etc. It's outrageously dumb and I can not exist around people like that :P Also Trolls.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

I respect someone who had a plan to get to the end and executed on it. No matter what, if it works it's worth more than someone who got there by happenstance. Of course there are extremes of this, like Phillip in RI who got to the end by virtue of the strategy of being someone to be beaten, but if you can say "At this point in the game, I decided this, and I followed through and now i'm here"

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

Have 3 types of relationships with every single person in the game. Either be a friend, be an enemy, or approachable. I want my allies to like me around for my contribution, I want my enemies to want me gone (and most certainly let people know about it) and I want anyone left to feel like they can talk to me about a plan. If I can be aware of people's perception of me (or impose a certain perception of me onto them) then I'll fare well

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I won't disappoint.

Multiple times during the day, usually not more than one hour at a time, but just about as many times as I need.

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Rupert because of his loving teddy bear/ huge monster appeal, Russel because he makes an extremely entertaining game strategically and adds a spice no one else has, and Malcom because I see so much of myself in him.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

Really friendly, never shut anyone down so I have options with everyone.

The Good Guy, that everyone loves, but has a hidden agenda to win throughout the entire game.

NOT be a huge threat early on, and contribute a lot around camp.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

I will send in an application twice a year for the rest of my life until I make it on, i love the game and respect it so much, that I would win the game. I will one day, remember the name Chandler Davis!

Sarah - played by Kenny (SurvivorSucks)

Name/Identity: Kenny
I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

I can devote a lot of free time during the summer. I'm a 17 year old guy without a job so I'm good to go. I have a sporadic sleep schedule so that could lead to a few problems but other than that I'll be fine.

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

I play a lot of ORGs and I'm a big fan of the game. I'm a casual fan of the show but I'm a huge fan of the game. I really want to experience something new in ORGs and this seems perfect to me.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

Yes, I've played countless ORGs since 2010. I play mostly Survivor games but I've done Big Brother and two Next Top Model games. :P

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

I'd say Abi-Maria for sure. I'm a male Abi-Maria, I'm very abrasive and I can get very mean. I don't mean anything by it but I get very competitive and spiteful in this game. And like I said, I'm a casual fan of Survivor so I've never really thought about it before. Sierra's just really outspoken and not afraid to say something and that really reminds me of myself.

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

I'd say Sierra from Tocantins because she made it far and she was really a great player. I'd say Parvati because it's fucking Parvati, hello! I'd also say maybe Erik because I really love when true fans of the game get on the show.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

I'd probably have a quick knee-jerk reaction and probably make everything worse for myself. I have that habit of making myself the villain as the result of one small moment and it really tears my game down.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

I'd want to be portrayed sort of like Lisa from Philippines with a little more of Denise's strength. I'm definitely an emotional creature like Lisa and I wear my heart on my sleeve and I really think that's a strong point of mine, I really wish that if I got on the show I would be portrayed favorably like that.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

I'd probably be the villain, breaking off and insulting people by accident. I'd be a strategic villain but a very oppressive villain which would ultimately end in my demise.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

Strong willed people who have a personality. I really appreciate a good personality. I love humor. I like the sweet and shy types too. I'm drawn towards protecting them and that occasionally leads to my downfall. I trust the wrong people and get fooled by the fake people

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

I clash with people like myself and loud extroverts. I'm an introvert by nature but in ORGs I tend to be boisterous but I can't stand long conversations. This puts me head to head with the extroverts who take to calling me anti-social. I that that personally.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

I love a good balanced game with the right amount of social and strategic game while being able to maintain challenge wins. I love the people like Parvati who can balance an alliance and the people who like Cochran who can bounce back from not starting off at the top of the totem pole.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

I'll try to lay low and maybe get one or two on my side. I'll definitely try to hold by tongue but I don't think that will last long. I really will try to dominate challenges to get myself to merge while maybe being as average as possible.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

Well, I'm Kenny. I'm 17 years old and I live in North Carolina. I love reading and writing. I'm active in online text-based roleplaying games. I've been in ORGs since January 2010. I'm a recent High School graduate and I'll be enrolling in college in the fall.

Name/Identity: kuchakyle
I am a member of the following forums: None
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

I am available most of the day, all day during the summer. There will be two weekends in June that I will be hard to reach 5pm-1am, and then in july I will work 3 days a week 9-5pm. Other then that I will be completely available. During those times i can also use my phone to check email.

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

The thrill of winning.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

Yes, I have 5 years experience playing ORGs on facebook. I have played a large number or variety including game types like hidden identity,and different games such as the Mole, Big Brother, Survivor, etc.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

1. Ethan (S3)- I think i have a genuine personality and nice guy persona like him and athletic competitiveness that he had.
2. Rob C. (S6) - sharp mind and tend to make non-emotional decisions
3.

5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

1. Elizabeth (s2)- childhood crush back when I was 10 years old.
2. Parvati - Love the flirty, cut throat game play that she plays.
3. Rob C(s6)- Amazing Player, i can't really explain it besides his briliance and love for the game.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

I'd let them rant. Odd are they are giving you some sort of information about other players and where they stand now. After gathering as much info as possible I would do a bit of damage control and explain how whatever they were ranting about is in there best interest. If they still have their panties in a bunch, i'd cut them before they cut me.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

I would like to be portrayed as a cut throat manipulator that used and exploited his relationships with people to do his dirty work.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

From games that I've played I've had polarizing effects. Either I am a very disliked player who gains that reputation or I am a very popular player that is seen as a threat in the social game. It really depends on who I am playing with andtheir personality.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

I get along easier with female players. I find it easier to gain their trust.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

i can't stand people who try to be a heroic leader and are overbearing.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

Cut throat, anything it takes to win.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

I call it the onion alliance. Have one core member that I trust to the end . Then add two others- one i build a relationship with and the other that my other alliance member builds on with. That way they each trust one of us and wont pair up. But are our core 4 then add a few more to gain majority in the beginning. Then as the game goes on you shed the layers.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

Mia referred me to this game. He said it was a great series.

Vecepia - played by Vsman (SurvivorSucks, Reddit)

Name/Identity: vsman
I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks, Reddit, Other
Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

I can devote a few hours a night to the game. My problem hours are 8 am -5pm.

2. What is your main motivation for playing?

I am a huge fan of the show and want to participate in the social experiment that is Survivor.

3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

No, this would be my first experience in this type of social competition.

4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

Malcolm Freberg: I am very witty and charming. He also plays a risky and strategic game.
Pete Yurkowski: I like how he could instigate problems without seeming like the bad guy. I can be very manipulative but innocent just like him.
Rob Cesternino: As said before, I think I am funny and witty like Rob C. I can also play both sides without being suspected of doing so.


5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

Malcolm Freberg because of his strategic, social and physical dominance. Parvati Shallow also has these 3 qualities. Finally, I like Rob C. because of how he is able to play both sides and switch alliances so quickly.

6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

I would be elated at the sight of a fellow castaway. I would like to find out how their personality dictates the way they play the game.

7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

I would like to be portrayed as a likable person. However, I would want them to show my more strategic side. I'd want to be shown as likable but willing to make big moves and cut ties with people.

8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

I think I would be portrayed as an innocent person. Similar to how Erik R. was shown as a clueless guy.

9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

I usually get along with cerebral and logical thinkers. It's easy to deal with people who have the same problems and goals as I have. It also helps that they can chime in on making decisions.

10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

I clash with personalities that are abrasive and illogical. It's hard to deal with people who don't think out their decisions clearly. They are very hard to get a read on and predict what they are going to do next.

11. What style of game play do you most respect?

I respect people who remain likable but play hard and cut ties with people. You can be cutthroat but at the same time likable. I also respect people who make big moves and people who are willing to take risks.

12. What is your strategy going into the game?

My strategy is to stay under the radar during the pre-merge phase of the game. I would get into the majority alliance and not draw any attention to myself. I would perform well in challenges without being a threat. I would try to stay calm with people. After the merge, I would change from a seemingly clueless player into a very strategic person. Everyone wouldn't see it coming. I would have to have good timing to pull this strategy off.

Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

I am a risk taker and am not afraid to make big moves. I am well liked and am good at not drawing attention to myself.
