Profile

Age: 31
Hometown: Lynnwood, Washington
Current Residence: Sedro-Woolley, Washington
Occupation: Flight attendant
Hobbies: Violin, running, winterguard
Three Words to Describe You: Hopeful, positive, funny
Pet Peeves: Being asked a question and the answer being ignored
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I've always been willing to make a change, pick up and go. It makes me feel brave to know I've changed my career when unhappy. I've purchased a one-way plane ticket not knowing what to expect, just to audition to dance around the country and succeeded. I've moved alone to new states on a whim. I only have this one life, I don't want to waste it doing what's easy.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I am deaf in one ear. I focus heavily on reading lips and am fluent in ASL.
Who is your hero and why? My husband, Andy. He has navigated through life after many setbacks, struggles and the tragic loss of a parent in a car accident. Andy focused on putting his physical comfort behind his and my desire for our family to grow and carried our children as a transgender man. I cannot think of a better human.
Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Aubry Bracco, but win.
Why do you believe you can win Survivor? The ability to show kindness, but also not take certain attacks and situations seriously feels like most players' downfall. They succumb to the emotions and get voted out. I have awareness of my being while also being very observant of others and loyal, but not to a fault.

Trivia
Ricard is the first deaf man to compete on Survivor and the third deaf castaway overall, following Christy Smith and Nina Poersch.

Survivor 41 is the forty-first season of the CBS competitive reality television series Survivor.

Production
Production for Survivor 41 and season 42 were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As has been the norm since Survivor: Samoa, the seasons were scheduled to be filmed back-to-back beginning in March 2020, but had to be put on hold due to the global outbreak of the coronavirus.[3]

In March 2021, it was announced that production for the two seasons had resumed in Fiji. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the production team were forced to modify their protocols to ensure the cast and crew's safety. This included staggering the largely international crew's arrival into Fiji, in compliance with the local government's health and safety rules.[4]

In an interview with Rob Cesternino for Rob Has a Podcast on the red carpet premiere of Survivor: Winners at War, host Jeff Probst acknowledged the negative response to the format of the Edge of Extinction twist, as well as its inclusion in that season. Though insisting his personal preference for the Edge of Extinction, Probst revealed that it would not be used for Survivor 41, but did not rule out eventually using it again.[5][6]

Casting
Following criticism over a lack of racial diversity in its reality programming, CBS announced in November 2020 that Survivor and its other reality shows must cast at least 50% persons of color beginning with the 2021-2022 television season.[7][8][9]

Twists/Changes
Shorter Game: The game lasted 26 days, 13 days shorter than most seasons.[10]
