Ferdi

Ferdi, otherwise known as VanDerVrucht, is the Impact Player of Survivor: Isère. He previously participated in Survivor: Buryatia.
Ferdi was able to harness the innate insanity of Petey to take control of his six-person tribe. Alongside a loyal ally, Time, he didn’t have much to fear before the swap, and very easily purged the minority alliance. When the tribes were distributed by performance in a challenge, Ferdi found himself eaten alive by the very insanity he had once managed to contain within Petey, being eliminated in an unpredictable 3-1-1-1 vote.
==Profile==
===Survivor: Buryatia===
Name: Ferdi (19)
Pronouns: He/Him/His​​
Current Residence: I live in Utrecht in the Netherlands, I just moved there a week ago to live with a friend because of my studies! It's Amsterdam time / 6 hours ahead of New York
Personal Claim to Fame: Uhh... I never really made it on national TV or anything, probably not even regional. But I am very proud of the fact I got into med school on my first try (with 4 times as much applicants as spots) en gettinig great grades so far.
Hobbies: Mostly just listening to some music and in particular the Eurovision Song Contest. This is taking place in a little over a week, so Eurovision fever has taken over me temporarily... Other favourite artists include Sara Bareilles, Lindsey Stirling, Within Temptation and The Naked and Famous. Obviously I love Survivor although I haven't watched the latest 2 seasons yet oops. Also love Grey's Anatomy! Apart from this I love to take a walk from time to time as I used to live nearby nature (back at home with my parents). I'm also an active member at the student body of my studies (medicine) as I am in the committee organizing the bring-your-parent-day and I plan to join the committee organizing a trip abroad. I go to a lot of activities, including the most recent trip abroad, a gala ball, weekends away etc.
Pet Peeves: Negativity, people complaining about stuff that is actually a humblebrag, apart from that I can take stuff. Dishonesty fits here too but eh, I guess I'll have to put that apart for Survivor, I guess
3 Words to Describe You: Enthusiastic, Loyal (IRL!), Listener
Favorite Season of Survivor: I don't have a definitive favourite but China, Kaoh Rong , Phillipines and HvHvH are up there (standard boring answers, I know, sorry)
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Well I don't know what I'll be like in the game - that depends on the circumstances - But I wanna say Stephanie Johnson for her never-ending fighting spirit, and awesome personality. Also because my last org (iirc, it's been a while) ended after a shitty swap.
What’s your strategy coming into the season? I put this into my app a bit, but I plan to try and make sure others are always the biggest threat, but with me linked to them somehow - Never be the biggest threat until the end, and try to shift the blame onto others. If it fails - Well, I'll be fighting for my time in the game, and I'm ready to make some promises I might not keep to at least make the jury.

If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be? Not hungover anymore (for real: Excited, social, cautious)
Why do you think you were asked to participate in this all-returnee season? Do you feel deserving of the distinction? Are you worried about being out-classed, or washed away, among a group of returnees? I didn't do particularly well last season (hi jorden hi Russ) but people liked my confessionals I think, so yay! Still really want to play and I will show it again. I think I have a decent shot at a second chance. Kelley Wentworth could do it so here I go!
What do you think went wrong last season, so that you weren’t successful in winning the season? How are you planning to improve upon these flaws? I actually didn't start off that bad, talked to most people at least a little bit, but not everyone. Joseph and me didnt talk, but I feel I reached out. Evidently come the swap I didn't reach out to Russ and Jorden enough as I wanted to target them; I put too much trust in Taco to side with me and in Jiv and Petey to not vote each other. In the end Taco was loyal to Russ and Jorden and because I hadn't reached out and (deceptively) say I was with them, I became their target, and the boot. I plan to improve on that by well, trying to talk more. I think if I'm anything out of the 3 pillars of social, physical and strategical, I'm social. So I need to put more of my eggs in that basket. Knowing it's a 3 tribe situation, I need to get some bonds quick, and make sure I have at least 3 people on my side, waiting for an inevitable swap or absorption.
What’s your strategy coming into the season? laying low won't really work anymore. I still think if I make the merge I want to try to never be the biggest threat right until the end. I'd say I'm a trusty player overall and while i tmight help me make bonds, it might just as well be my downfall
Is there anyone you’re particularly looking forward to seeing on the season? Is there anyone you’re particularly dreading seeing on the season? Do you think feuds and partnerships from original seasons will carry-over? Season 7 premergers!!! Icons. Fal and Chie are great people to spec with and both seemed very loyal and I need that kind of people in my game (and life). I hope I can work with them. Euro is also a cool dude and well we all know he's loyal. I like Jorden lots and hope we can bury the hatchet from Buryatia and just play together this time at least for a while. I didn't want to see Joseph. He and Meghan are the only people to have a reason to hold a grudge against me after Buryatia as well, I sent him off. I still want to argue it was the best move for me, and he was the one who should've replied when I tried to talk to him (tbf I reached out 1 time). Also judging from his double play with Petey in buryatia he doesn't seem too trustworthy to me. Plus as I said he is the only person aside from Meghan I pissed off (also, Meghan>Joseph in character rankings pls). Shane, Cheryl, Jake and Xalec don't know me apart from day 1. Zach... wasn't there. Time saw me as his closest ally, I feel and rightfully so. Tim thought/knew I would still be down to work with the Dutchies. Jiv and Petey shot themselves in the foot, and might after my vote out only be sure that I'm loyal. Kyle, James and Josh I barely met. Russ and Jorden, well, I think they regretted voting me out after a while lol and I don't see why they would have a grudge against me. same for TAco.
Do you think your reputation will help or hinder your game, and why? As basically said above I think my reputation barely extends (yet!) to funny, savvy and mostly loyal in Buryatia so yeah, that may help me. Especially against people who have a spec lounge reputation (GJ), got far last time (Jorden and Russ maybe Sachi) and the like.
