Everett Dax

**Everett Dax** was a castaway on *Survivor: Nepal* and *Survivor: Ecuador*.

**Current Residence:** Cocoa Beach, FL

**Occupation:** Surfing Instructor

**Tribe Designation:** Pumori

**3 Words to Describe You:** Funny, Athletic, Sociable

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I've lived in Florida all my life and I've been surfing since I was like 6 or 7, so I have a lot of experience in the ocean and on the surfboard. I actually used to compete in competitions, although I was never good enough to go pros. Now I teach tons of classes on basic surfing for a living, and it's honestly such a fun job, better than being a bartender like I was in my early 20s.

**Favorite Past Player:** Uh, my favorite past player...that's a hard question. I've watched this show since Canary Islands and I went back and watched the first two as well, and there's a lot of players I like. Thom Glover reminds me of myself a lot, but my favorite player just has to be Xiomara Vasquez. A true triple threat, just like me, and a legendary player.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I'm not going to say I'm for sure the next Sole Survivor. Like come on, any guy that says they're for sure going to win this game is both a cocky prick and an idiot. This game is tough, and no one wins for sure. But I do think I have a great shot, I'm really athletic especially in the water, and I love social situations so I think I'll thrive during the game.

### Profile

**Name (Age):** Everett Dax (29)

**Previous Finish:** 11th Place...oof.

**Tribe Designation:** Cuevita

**Favorite Past Moment:** When Pumori finally won our first, and only, Immunity Challenge. It was just such a high to finally be safe from the vote and not have to worry about scheming and ruining people's dreams.

**Biggest Regret:** Definitely not splitting the vote during the Tribal I went home. Even though Moriah and Daniel did flip, we still would've had 8 votes and it could've been 4-4-4, instead of me idoled out 4-0. It's just one of those lapses in judgement, or laziness honestly, that just ends your game like that.

**Previous Player You Respect Most:** I'd have to go with Nick Wilkins. Usually people say people from their own seasons, and everyone on my season was great, but Nick really is just the nicest guy you could ever meet. I see now how he got through *All Stars* without only a vote against him.

**Previous Player You Respect Least:** Greg Immins has had a lot of emotions towards me after our season, and they are not of love. He didn't take kindly when I said I didn't feel like spending a week with him in Florida. Sorry dude. You're cool, but we're just not close like that.

**What Makes You a Good Captain?:** I think I was a pretty terrible leader in *Nepal*, actually! My group lost like everything! But I still think I did lead Pumori the best I could, and that I have the qualities and strengths to be able to guide these newbies through the game and get some loyal followers to help me through this. Being often listed as one of the most robbed castaways will help me gain some superfan goats probably!

**Why Are You Back?:** How could I say no to this game? It takes everything you have inside of you, and puts it to the test in every possible away. Stress, anxiety, deprivation of sleep and food, loneliness, pushing your body to the limit in challenges, oversocialization, etc. It's just so much, but then you leave the game and you just hunger for it, to face such a grand challenge again. I just need to relive that glory again, and win to prove I'm more than just an overrated, "robbed" castaway.
