Jaime Lynn Ruiz

Jaime Lynn Ruiz is a contestant from .
Bubbly and endlessly exuberant, Jaime played with overwhelming optimism towards her standing in the game and confidently wielded a fake Hidden Immunity Idol, oblivious to its counterfeit nature. As a member of the Ratu Alliance, she found herself on the right side of the numbers in the early merge, but when the numbers dwindled down, her decision to enter the end-game with the Tika Three proved fatal as they stayed strong to eliminate her at the final six.

Why do you want to be part of SURVIVOR? I am a day one SURVIVOR fan! We grew up watching SURVIVOR as a family. Thanks to our VHS recorder, we never missed an episode! As a superfan, it is a lifelong dream to be the Sole Survivor. I have learned a lot from the show especially that ANYTHING is POSSIBLE.
What's one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? My time in corporate America prepared me for the show. I spent over a decade navigating different personalities and building winning teams. Relationship building is EVERYTHING!
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? I relate to Angelina – she is bold & brilliant! I think I will play most like Erika. She played such a high-level game! Her social skills and strategic relationship-building was amazing!
What will you value in an alliance partner? I will value loyalty. I am looking for a ride or die partner!
Favorite Hobbies: Gardening, yoga, cooking, golfing, hiking, reading, painting, swimming, writing, eating, laughing, meditating, catching up on my shows.
Pet Peeves: Cold food, sound of the alarm clock on the iPhone (you know the one), the lack of potato chips in a brand new bag.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I am most proud of myself for having the courage to quit a 10-year career to follow my dreams.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? People would never know that I love scary movies and grew up watching Freddy, Jason and Chucky.
Who in your life is your biggest inspiration and why? My parents. They taught me to never give up and made sure I knew I could do anything I put my mind to.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I know I will be the Sole Survivor because I will have built solid relationships with all of my new best friends! Relationship building is EVERYTHING.https://parade.com/tv/survivor-44-cast#gid=ci02b6b05220002433&pid=jaime-lynn-ruiz
