Durão Mariano

Spending nearly the entire game on the bottom, Durão's opportunistic strategy allowed him to float through the competition all the way into the Final Three.

Surname: Mariano

Occupation: Hotel Guest Liaison
From: Newlands East, Durban
Charming, confident and diplomatic Durāo from Durban holds a finance degree, but decided to go into the hospitality industry because he loves food, people and travel. Changing careers indeed took him all over the world, where he has learnt to adjust to many different environments. Durāo believes life is full of endless possibilities and if someone tells him that he doesn't take life seriously enough, he will reply calmly that it's his life and he chooses the best way to live it. Working in the hospitality industry, difficult customers happen to be his bread and butter, but on Survivor he plans to have his bread buttered on both sides! The one thing he won't do, however, is use foul language. He claims to have never uttered a swear word in his life.https://m-net.dstv.com/show/survivor-island-of-secrets/castaways/durao/profile
