Ivana Banfić

Ivana Banfić is a contestant from Survivor: Dominikanska Republika.
Ivana B. was Azua's oldest and weakest player, but she saved herself from elimination by integrating herself into the tribe and keeping them entertained with her songs. On Day 7, Ivana B. was injured during her round against Mao's Milica Dabović in the Reward Challenge and was taken away from the island to be treated. She was being tended to by the medical team for 6 days, missing several challenges and a Tribal Council, but she was deemed unfit to compete. She was allowed to visit her tribe for one last day, which she did while on crutches. After a heartfelt goodbye, Ivana B. was finally pulled out of the game on Day 13.

Jedna od natjecateljica koja će se okušati u borbi za preživljavanje bit će pjevačica Ivana Banfić, poznata kao jedna od prvih predstavnika hrvatske dance scene devedesetih godina. Ususret uvom izazovu za novatv.hr portal Ivana je otkrila koja su joj očekivanja, što će joj predstavljati najveći izazov, što je će joj najviše nedostajati za vrijeme ove avanture života
Ivana Banfić poznata je hrvatska pop pjevačica koja se osim bogatom pjevačkom karijerom može pohvaliti titulom diplomiranog integrativnog psihoterapeuta. Osim toga, vlasnica je video produkcijske tvrtke koja se bavi snimanjem turističkih video tura pod nazivom 'Jedi, putuj i uživaj' te snimanjem video recepata za IBee Cooking Show. Ivana je odrasla u Velikoj Gorici, a već tada pokazivala je interes za glazbu i sport. Sebe opisuje kao avanturisticu i istraživačicu koja živi život punim plućima i voli isprobavati sve što joj se sviđa. U slobodno vrijeme najviše voli putovati, boraviti u šumi, kuhati, plesati i pjevati, meditirati i družiti se s prijateljima, a u životu je pokreću novi izazovi i novi ljudi. Kao svoje najveće vrline Ivana ističe empatiju, mudrost, upornost i pozitivan stav prema životu, a njezina je najveća mana, tvrdi, nestrpljivost.
„Avanturistički sam duh i ne volim biti u zoni komfora, ako sam duže od mjesec dana u istom, venem.. Zapravo od kad znam za sebe nisam u zoni komfora, nisam taj tip osobe.. Bila sam i u Amazoni prije par godina u jednom plemenu usred Džungle, prošla sam Indiju po nekoliko puta.. Volim istraživati život, moj stav je da sam ovdje da bih živjela život pun iskustava i doživljaja", poručuje Ivana.
Uskoro počinje „Survivor", svjetski poznati zabavno-natjecateljski show prepun adrenalina u kojem su snalažljivost, vještine preživljavanja u prirodi i uspješno svladavanje mentalnih i fizičkih izazova ključni faktori za uspjeh.

Ivana B. immediately struggled at the start of the game. Placed on the tribe with her fellow Croats, Ivana had trouble completing the marooning challenge, as she stumbled on her way to shore. She then failed to impress in the first Reward Challenge. Despite losing the first two challenges, Azua ended their first night on the island cheerfully, singing along to Ivana's songs in the shelter. Ivana continued integrating herself into the tribe and singing songs to make up for her bad challenge performance. This payed off when Azua went to their first Tribal Council, as Sanja Močibob was unanimously nominated for saying she wouldn't mind going home. Her wish came true when she lost the first duel and was eliminated from the game.
On Day 7, when it was Ivana's turn to compete in the Reward Challenge, she was accidentally injured by 's Milica Dabović, and had to be taken out of the game to be treated. She was not present for the next week, even missing a Tribal Council. On Day 13, the tribes were invited to an impromptu Tribal Council, where the hosts announced that, because of her injury, Ivana had to be taken out of the game, much to everyone's shock. Ivana visited Azua's camp for one last day while on crutches, and said goodbye to her tribemates. She was then pulled out of the game. On Day 26, she was replaced by Ivana Peček.
