GiGi van Schalkwyk

Perlé "GiGi" Van Schalkwyk is the Ultimate Survivor of .
An underdog from the beginning of the season, GiGi's general likeability allowed her to coast through to the merge, where her Chibudu tribe found itself down in numbers. Not to be deterred, GiGi hung on until she made a fortuitous women's alliance with Ashley Hayden and former tribemate Sade Giliberti. Together, the women covertly controlled the merged tribe until the final four, where GiGi turned on Sade before being picked by Ashley to enter the Final Two. In contrast to Ashley's extensive record of betrayals, GiGi was viewed as the more congenial finalist and won the jury vote 6-3.

Claim to Fame: GiGi is most well known as the owner of The Lollipop Lounge - an exotic dance club in Randburg, Johannesburg. She might have danced her way into the limelight with voluptuous moves, but as a trained actress she's also stunned audiences with her phenomenally successful stage productions, Nipplecaps and G-strings and Whore and recently appeared on the big screen in Poena is Koning.
Age: 40s
Home Life: Married.
Charity: Hospice Houghton, Johannesburg - part of the Hospice group that offers palliative care service that focuses on the quality of life, promoting physical and psychosocial well-being for people with active, progressive and advanced diseases for whom the prognosis is limited. 
Factoid: GiGi has a Bachelor of Drama at the University of Stellenbosch and is trained in ballet; jazzart; mime; and piano. She was part of PACT and whilst performing in Spellbound at Sun City, her passion for dancing really set off.
Why she could win: Girls don't necessarily like exotic dancers, but showgirls like Gigi know how to survive in the urban jungle and how to manipulate the guys.https://web.archive.org/web/20100122211507/http://www.mnet.co.za/Survivor/Default.aspx
