Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: I share DNA with my mother who was on season 2 so I can't relate any more than that! I can also relate to Whitney Duncan because she was smart, southern and was a musician.
Reason for Being on Survivor: Claiming the title of "Sole Survivor" would be a huge accomplishment. Being able to do this with my Mom is the coolest!
Why You Think You'll "Survive" Survivor: I am certainly not a quitter and the final Survivor has to earn that title, which I have every intention of doing. It's time to get down and dirty.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I'm wildly creative and that translates to everything I do - cooking, games and strategies that would put my team and I ahead of others.
What Does It Mean to You to Play Survivor with Your Loved One? My Mom is the single most amazing person I know. To play Survivor together definitely tops any experience we have ever had together. I can't wait to compete with or against this truly amazing woman, as a daughter and a best friend, it's an honor!http://web.archive.org/web/20220629094633/https://www.cbs.com/shows/survivor/cast/214731/
