Ryan Medrano

Ryan Medrano is a contestant from .
Throughout the game, Ryan clashed with Cassidy Clark due to their differing personalities, even throwing a challenge in the hopes that his tribe would side with him and his ally Geo Bustamante to eliminate their nemesis. However, Ryan's overconfidence frequently got the better of him, as he deliberately isolated himself from major strategic talk, which planted a growing target on his back. Eventually, Cassidy got her way and Ryan was eliminated on Day 17.

3 Words to Describe You: Charismatic, outgoing, humorous
Pet Peeve(s): Bullies, laziness, self-entitlement.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? My connection that I made with my mother after her stroke. I helped her to understand that just because she wasn't the same as before didn't mean she couldn't live a full life. She just had to approach things from her newfound perspective.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I was born three months early with mild cerebral palsy. Doctors said I would never walk but after four years of therapy, I finally was able to.
Who is your hero and why? My father. He helped raise us while fighting for our country and putting 110% into both.
Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Rupert. I like the way he provided food for his tribe, which helped them keep their strength for the challenges.
Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I'm a triple threat. I can socialize easily, am naturally strong and quick in puzzles. I am great at forming bonds and can influence others with a silver tongue. I have a great resolve to do what needs to be done to earn the million dollars.https://parade.com/tv/survivor-43-cast#gid=ci02aa2327800025c7&pid=118723_1172bc
