Nancy Klingbeil

**Nancy Klingbeil** was a castaway on *Survivor: Laos - Anarchy.*

**Current Residence:** Paducah, KY

**Occupation:** Meteorologist

**Tribe Designation:** None (Anarchy)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Patient, Adventurous, Driven

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I've worked at the same news station for over 30 years! I started as an intern and now here I am, the head meteorologist for all of my area in Kentucky! It's been a real journey and I've enjoyed every step of the way. I'm also a mother to two boys, both already through college and starting families of their own. And thirdly, I've actually been to every continent! I love to travel, and me and my husband Jim made it a goal to travel to every continent before we turned 50, and we did it, going to Antarctica for his 50th. It was an amazing adventure.

**Strategy, Social, or Physical?:** Social, my gosh, what else?! The explanation of this game is that it's a social experiment, so of course if your social skills aren't your strongest asset, I don't know if you're really all that cut out for this game!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I come in an inconspicuous package; I'm a little 59 year old woman who looks like she'd rather bake you cookies than backstab you! But I'm not afraid to play hard or dirty out here to win, because that's my ultimate goal, to make it to the Final Tribal Council and win. It's taken a lot of drive to work to the top in my occupation, and I'm not cowardly either, I just love exploring and trying new things. I'm going to put all my skills to the test to win this game!

Sam Gasko

**Sam Gasko** was a castaway on *Survivor: Guadeloupe*.

**Current Residence:** Holcomb, Mississippi

**Occupation:** LGBTQIA+ Counselor

**Tribe Designation:** Galante

Early on in his childhood growing up in New Orleans, Sam knew he was different from the other kids. Assigned female at birth, Sam realized he felt more like a boy from a very young age. Thankfully for him, his parents were supportive when he came out in middle school, and he was able to fully transition by the time he turned 18. However, growing up in the south, he knew many other queer kids were not as lucky as him, and thus he pursued a career as an LGBTQIA+ counselor. Sam recently graduated with his master's in community counseling, and just this year he opened his own practice in Mississippi to begin treating clients, specializing in kids under 18 struggling with their gender identity.

Sam is a very thoughtful person, the type to always think before he speaks. He is a great listener, always being the person his friends have gone to for advice throughout his entire life. He is very sweet and kind, gathering a large amount of friends through his genuine personality. He is very compassionate and sensitive, being easily affected by other people's stories and experiences. Sam hopes that this will not be a disadvantage to him in the game, but he plans to present himself as openly and genuinely as possible.

One of Sam's main motivations for competing on *Survivor* is his desire to show the true diversity of trans people by appearing on TV. He knows the importance of media on changing the beliefs of people, as his parents understood trans people from documentaries they watched when he came out. Thus, Sam hopes to make a major impact with his run on the show while also getting to enjoy the adventure of a lifetime, and possibly get the million to help him set up his new counseling practice. Sam plans to find a comfortable alliance, wanting to find a group of trustworthy, like-minded people he can trust all the way to the end. He believes he is well-rounded enough in all areas of the game that he will be able to succeed.

Sam is single. He lives with two roommates, Kwan (28) and Joseph (23).

Lauri Keppler

**Lauri Keppler** was a castaway on *Survivor: Socotra.*

**Current Residence:** Pella, IA

**Occupation:** Novelty Knitter

**Tribe Designation:** Thlath

**3 Words to Describe You:** Quiet, Focused, Kind

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** My knitting needles and yarn, maybe we don’t need knitted clothes out in the tropics, but it’s my job and favorite thing to do, it’s very calming so that would be helpful in the game. I’d also bring my phone so I can keep in touch with family and take pictures and videos to remember this once in a lifetime journey!

**Previous Survivor You’re Most Like:** I think I’m pretty similar to Catriona, in all honesty, just less rough and aggressive. I’m the nice, clean version of Catriona. New and improved, hahaha!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I’m not threatening at all. I’m going to keep a low profile, just like I do in my day to day life, and skid on by. No one will notice me and I’ll be able to make it very far. I’ll make a big move or two at the end, shocking everyone since they don’t expect anything from me, and that’ll be enough to sway the jury in my opinion!

Ariel Barten-Lee

**Ariel Barten-Lee** was the Sole Survivor of *Survivor: Namibia*.

**Current Residence:** Plano, TX

**Occupation:** Model

**Tribe Designation:** Ovambo

**3 Words to Describe You:** Calm, Ambitious, Caring

**Favorite Past Castaway:** It definitely has to be Xiomara Vasquez. She is definitely a lot tougher, smarter, stronger, the whole nine yards than me, but she's definitely inspiring as a fellow model. She proved she's more than her pretty looks by being in my opinion the best to never win, and I want to play a game that's a fraction as good as hers.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** To a lot of people, I seem like a pretty girl who won't want to chip a nail. However, I grew up in the country, I go duck hunting once a month, I can get down and dirty. I'm pretty unassuming in real life, so I surprise people with how social and clever I can be. It just only comes out when I want it to, and I'm going to utilize that under-the-radar part of me for this game to help me get to the end.

## Voting History

### *Survivor: Namibia*

Ariel started the game out quietly, forming a strong alliance with Kinti Faith and Ridolfo Vizquel early on in the game on the Ovambo tribe. They won out early, and at their two Tribal Councils, they voted out drama causers, coasting to the merge. There, they took decisive control of the game, controlling the first two votes with Morty Villegas. However, at the Final 8, the votes tied between Ridolfo and Shannen Smeltzer; Ariel and Kinti betrayed Ridolfo since he had become overconfident and grown closer instead to Morty, and voted Ridolfo out on the revote. Now free agents, they tried to keep Morty in at the next vote and failed. Ariel was targeting at the following vote, the Final 6, when Kinti won Immunity, but they were able to convince swing votes DaQuan Melton and Dorian Gelletier to vote with them. At the Final 5, Ariel helped carry out Kinti's plan to eliminate the threatening Dorian, and then at the Final 4 she made her first independent move of the game. She betrayed her closest ally Kinti due to her being the frontrunner to win, making her get 4th place. From there, Ariel continued to pick up speed and won the Final Immunity Challenge, where she voted out the heroic underdog Lewis Chang, taking the more controversial DaQuan with her to FTC. Although many jurors dragged her for not playing the game until the mid-merge, and Kinti had an emotionally charged speech about feeling betrayed, Ariel's FTC performance was generally good. She explained her under-the-radar game well and contrasted it well against DaQuan's more aggressive gameplay. Her FTC performance and many jurors' bitterness towards DaQuan caused Ariel to eke out a 4-3 win and become the 11th Sole Survivor!
Lizzie Ives

**Lizzie Ives** was a castaway on *Survivor: Laos - Anarchy.*

**Current Residence:** Waltham, MA

**Occupation:** Pharmaceutical Sales Representative

**Tribe Designation:** None (Anarchy)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Persuasive, Bright, Determined

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I've been employee of the month for two years in a row now! The bonuses are just flowing in, haha! But the second fact is that I live in a house with my sister, we're both still recovering from some debts we have, so it's not like I'm swimming in cash. And thirdly, my birthday's actually on Leap Day, so I'm technically only 8 years old!

**Strategy, Social, or Physical?:** While you do have to have some muscles, and an endearing personality, strategy is the biggest factor in my opinion. Everyone the show casts has enough charisma to stun a normal person, and have enough muscle to survive out here. It comes down to who can contrive the best strategies and figure out how to play the best in the end of it all.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I am going to be the next Sole Survivor because I'm determined to get that title! While I may not look like much, I'm both smart and fit, and I can work hard in this game and succeed. I'm going to find the strongest group of players, surround myself with them, and use them as shields until I dispose of them before the end. Pretty danger proof strategy.

Joshua Grahame

**Joshua Grahame** was a castaway on *Survivor: Corsica.*

**Current Residence:** Jenkintown, PA

**Occupation:** Cashier

**Tribe Designation:** Younger (Criscente)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Persevering, Caring, Awkward

**3 Things You'd Bring on the Island:** I'll miss my son Nicholas, but I wouldn't dare bring a toddler on the island! I'd definitely bring a photo album so I can stay close to my family, friends, and Nicholas while I'm out here. Then, I'd probably bring a water filter just because I want to be able to drink water on the first d**ay**. Also some Doritos or similar chips to satisfy my cravings!

**Thoughts on Your Age Group:** Younger people can be fun, and we're usually a little more optimistic and fun to hang around with. However, we do make our mistakes; I made mine by getting drunk at a party and having sex with my best friend's older sister. She got pregnant, and gave me our son Nicholas because she wasn't in a state to care for him. So sometimes it's great to be young, but we do make really big mistakes. I love my son so much, but he wasn't really planned and is an example of the sometimes stupidity of youth.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I work a low paying job just to make ends meet; my parents have been helping me support Nicholas and myself, but soon they're not going to be able to offer much funds. I need this money for my future and especially for my son's future, so I'm gonna fight with everything I've got to get this money.

Londra Pelaez

**Londra Pelaez** was a castaway on *Survivor: India - Blood vs. Water*.

**Current Residence:** Fresno, California

**Occupation:** Politician

**Tribe Designation:** Taaza

**Loved One:** Martina (Twin Sister)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Sharp, Observant, Diplomatic

**About Your Loved One:** Martina and I grew up as close as two young girls can be, being twins and all. She has always been a little softer, sweeter, and kinder than me, but we both are pretty driven and "hard-shelled" women because we have goals in life. We don't live together anymore, but we still chat on the phone everyday. I'm a very independent person, and I have little free time, but Martina's the one person in my life I make room for. There's no one in the world like a twin sister.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** As a student of this game, this is almost an impossible question to answer. There have been many great players on this show, just as there have been many great politicians in the history of my great state of California and in our country's history. If I was forced to select a singular player, however, I would have to go with Mitzi Vo. I was furious when I found out Mitzi lost the game because of a tie and Martina did not vote for her. Mitzi played a stunningly independent and strategic game, and I relate to her personality and her story on a gut level.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I will become the next Sole Survivor because I have set my mind to it, and I can achieve anything I dream. I am a born leader; I was president of my high school class, and when I moved to California as a 20-something, I soon became a member of Fresno's city council before becoming both the mayor and a representative in the state House of Representatives for a time. I am currently on a break from politics, as I am planning to run for a Senate seat, and this is my one chance to play the game I love almost as much as our country. I will lead the people in this game to the very end, where I will be able to claim the million dollar check for myself, and I will stop at nothing to accomplish this.
Beatrice Nagley

**Beatrice Nagley** was a castaway on *Survivor: Corsica.*

**Current Residence:** Saginaw, MI

**Occupation:** Maid

**Tribe Designation:** Older (Anzianu)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Brutally Honest and Hardworking

**3 Things You'd Bring on the Island:** A sleeping bag so I don't get uncomfortable while I sleep. Babycakes, this body ain't what it used to be, I'm already starting to ache enough so I'd like to be comfy while I sleep. Then some noise cancelling headphones for when the nature sounds or people get too annoying. And some iced tea, baby, that's the shit!

**Thoughts on Your Age Group:** I don't think of myself as "old" quite yet. 40s isn't old, so I'm guessing I'm gonna be one of the younger gals living it up on my tribe. However, I don't hate older people. They're wise and knowledgeable. However, many are also weak and brittle like leaves in the fall! They're not the best to have on your tribe in this game. I mean, I'm no athletic goddess, but the wind ain't gonna blow me over.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** Babycakes, sometimes my mouth gets me in trouble. However, brutal honesty is my best policy. Sometimes it causes drama, sometimes it causes controversy, but people will be able to trust my word and I will be trustworthy. People will want to use me as a shield due to my loudness, and I'll let them for a while. But then I will take them outta the game before they can do that and win it!

Jakob Sobol

**Jakob Sobol** was the Sole Survivor of *Survivor: Chad - Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty.*

## Bio

### *Survivor: Chad - Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty*

**Name (Age):** Jakob Sobol (26)

**Current Residence:** Indianapolis, IN

**Occupation:** Forensic Geneticist

**Tribe Designation:** Dhuki (Brains)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Nice, Social, Observant

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** I’d bring my dog Topher, he really helps comfort me whenever I’m hitting a rough patch and I’ll have someone to trust out there without having the unfair advantage of having someone to strategize with! And if Topher was coming, I’d have to bring his food and his favorite squeaky toy. Sure, I’d like to bring my laptop and coffee maker or something, but only the best for my pooch.

**Why are you a Brain?:** I guess because I’m a pretty smart guy according to tests and stuff, and because I have a science-y job. In reality, I don’t come off as much of a intellectual or whatever you wanna call it. I’m just a laid back guy, but I guess I’m a Brain cuz of the stuff I said before.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** Maybe I am, maybe I’m not. All I know is that people have told me that I’m nice and welcoming, and I’ve gotten away with quite a few lies in my time on this earth. I’ve watched this show for several years now and I think I have enough knowledge and life skills to do really well, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be the Sole Survivor. You never know!

## Game

### *Survivor: Chad - Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty*

Jakob began the game on the Brains tribe, and swiftly made a close bond with fellow Brain, Nick Wilkins. Those two would work together for the rest of the game. At the first and only Tribal Council the Brains attended, Jakob and Nick managed to flip the vote against the domineering Kerrie McCue that was trying to control the tribe, putting themselves into the power position. Jakob also found himself in a strong position after the first swap as a swing vote on the dominant Jamila tribe. However, Nick and Jakob found themselves in the minority when they were put on Qawiun in the second swap. Jakob used an idol to save himself, taking out Stephine Gaul in his place. Jakob made the merge and found himself once again in a minority position. He lost allies Storm Martin and Rodney Cauttle, and soon only Nick and himself were left from their minority alliance. However, the two worked together to fracture the majority alliance, particularly using the votes of Ivonne Chimwell, Helix Foster, and Kaguya Sato. This new majority alliance of five eventually imploded; while staved off by another idol play that took out social powerhouse Polina Sokolov, Nick's elimination happened soon after. Jakob, on his own, won the Final Immunity Challenge to get himself to the Final Tribal Council. He won the game 4-2-1 over Kaguya and Helix for a stronger and underdog style game, as well as for the relationships he built with members of the jury.
Faris Larsson

**Faris Larsson** was a castaway on *Survivor: Corsica.*

**Current Residence:** Manhattan, NY

**Occupation:** Rockstar

**Tribe Designation:** Younger (Criscente)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Angsty, Self-Deprecating, and Lovable

**3 Things You'd Bring on the Island:** My guitar to shred the fuck out of to impress my tribemates and keep my mind occupied when the paranoia starts to creep in and drive me mad. Probably then a second guitar after I'd have a fit after the vote doesn't go my way and smash the first one into a tree in anger. And then one of those disposable cameras to take cringy selfies with the other castaways to hang on my memories wall in my flat.

**Thoughts on Your Age Group:** Eh, a lot of us suck. I guess I'm sort of in the middle here; I'm not super young anymore but I'm not old either. I'm just in that weird limbo period that's called your 30s. I mean, I love being young but I'm not in the prime of my career anymore, getting wasted every night and banging sixty girls a week. My band's still popular but things are slowing down, and I don't like to be as crazy as I used to. I can feel the old age setting in, when I get a little cranky towards the college graduates flooding into Manhattan and crowding my Starbucks...

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** Well, fuck, I'm pretty charming, aren't I? And if people don't think I'm charming, I'll just self deprecate until I seem like I'm so worthless they won't want to vote me off! But in all honesty, you have to keep up appearances as a celebrity so I know how to do that, how to make people happy and liking you. It's all about climbing the social ladder in the music business, and I can do that in this game too, with my own special caustic flair.

Kandy Reese

**Kandy Reese** was a castaway on *Survivor: Nepal.*

**Current Residence:** Richmond, VA

**Occupation:** Docent

**Tribe Designation:** Lhotse

**3 Words to Describe You:** Caring, Informative, Helpful

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I retired two years ago; I used to work as a pretty high up executive at a large corporation, but I made enough to retire relatively early. I was able to keep up with the big dogs but I always wanted to have a stress-less job. So now I volunteer as a docent at the local history museum, giving tours and such, teaching people all about the museum's contents. It's a beautiful job! I also have six grandchildren from two kids; who ever said you can't have a family when you're a busy businesswoman?

**Favorite Past Player:** I really respect Augusta Hilliard. She was an older woman who came out here with this massive target on her back due to her age, and yet she passed that up and became a strategic and social threat, fighting deep into the game. Props to her, I hope to play a game like hers.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I come off as this sweet grandma, but I worked in the cutthroat business industry. I know how to fight and how to manipulate people, but I can do it all with this mask of kindness and warmth. While I'll have to work hard to make up for my physical lacking, I think I can do it and surprise everyone out there.

Artie Robinson

**Artie Robinson** was a castaway on *Survivor: Guadeloupe*.

**Current Residence:** New Albany, Indiana

**Occupation:** Pizza Delivery Boy

**Tribe Designation:** Desirade

Living a very normal life in the suburbs of Louisville, Artie grew up in a middle class family, the son of a firefighter and a paramedic. Always raised in the spirit of giving back to his community and helping those in need, Artie has gone on many mission trips throughout his teenage years while also volunteering often at his local food bank. This upbringing has inspired Artie to pursue a career in medicine, wanting to become an ER doctor in order to help people in need. However, he has just recently graduated from high school, currently working full time as a pizza delivery boy to help save up money to pay for tuition before he begins his studies.

The class clown in his local high school, Artie has always been the type of guy to make a joke when things get quiet. Thriving off of attention and humor, Artie enjoys making new friends and putting himself into new situations. He has always had a knack for getting himself into problems, especially when he is trying to pursue an adrenaline rush. This makes some people consider him stupid, but Artie knows he is just being a kid and trying to have fun. While he is this fun-loving kid, Artie has never dated anyone and harbors some insecurities about this, as well as feeling unprepared for college since he studied more than partying in school.

Artie is hoping that going onto the island will allow him to grow as a person, helping him mature before he begins the long journey to achieving a medical degree. He has never left the United States before and has lived in the same house his whole life, so he knows it will be a shock to go somewhere else entirely. However, Artie is thrilled with the idea of *Survivor*, as he has been an avid superfan ever since he was a little kid, watching the show with his parents. He knows the game very well, and he hopes to have fun on the island while playing smart, hoping to avoid the pitfall of playing too hard like many young superfans before him. More of a band kid than an athlete, Artie hopes his youth will help him keep up in challenges. He hopes to play a smart game, knowing that he will be underestimated due to his age but planning to use that to his advantage.

Artie is single. He lives with his parents Donna (45) and Jared (44) and his sister Millie (16).
Gerrit Kole

**Gerrit Kole** was a castaway on *Survivor: Kazakhstan*.

**Current Residence:** Chicago, Illinois

**Occupation:** Casting Agent

**Tribe Designation:** Jetyru

**Some Interesting Facts About You:** I'm lucky to have had a pretty successful career as a child actor! I got to be on a couple of child's shows, and it was great exposure. However, as I got older, I decided I didn't really want to be on the screen, and instead I wanted to work behind the scenes. Right now I work as a casting agent, choosing people to act in shows! It's a great job, and I'm happy to help people with their careers. I'm also currently engaged to my girlfriend Andie, and I can't wait for us to get married next year.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** My favorite past castaway is definitely Korey Rainn. I've worked with him on a couple of projects, and he's even acted in a play that I helped cast for. We're really good friends, and whenever I'm in New York I try to visit him. He's also a really good player, and I think he's severely underrated by the fans just because he was on a chaotic season and he's a quieter guy.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I think that I can be the Sole Survivor because I have a wealth of knowledge and experience about interacting with others as well as acting. I am going to be able to lie very well, but more importantly I know how people work, and I'm going to be able to make lots of strong connections. My cunning and my athleticism will also be useful tools to ensure I come out on top in this game.

Patti Christopher

**Patti Christopher** was a castaway on *Survivor: Namibia.*

**Current Residence:** Appleton, WI

**Occupation:** Ticket Taker

**Tribe Designation:** Khoekhoe

**3 Words to Describe You:** Hard-working, Tenacious, Stubborn

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I have lived in the city of Appleton, Wisconsin for my entire life, and I've only left the state three times over my whole 51 years of life. I just love it here! The one time I did leave it was to travel on a mission trip to Panama; it really was an eye opener and a memorable experience, and it helped me come closer to Christ.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I would say that I see a lot of myself in Pia Chavez. We are both hardworking mothers who will not give up and just keep working no matter what. I'm here to prove age is just a number and break Pia's record for oldest castaway to have won this game, just because I respect her so much.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** Because I can do anything I set out to do. I'm strong willed and I have God to guide me out here in this game. But just because I am a Christian does not mean I'm unwilling to lie, cheat, or steal here. I'm going to do whatever I have to to make sure I come home to Appleton a millionaire, and I know God will be willing to forgive me for it.

## Voting History

### *Survivor: Namibia*

A polarizing personality on the Khoekhoe tribe, some members loved Patti's brutal honesty and work ethic, while others detested her rudeness and stubbornness and did not get along with her. When Khoekhoe lost the first Immunity Challenge, stronger males Shannen Smeltzer and Zak Kallister stuck by Patti, believing she was stronger than the frail Mi Na Phan, who was struggling in the elements. However, the rest of the tribe deemed Patti's inflammatory personality and age too much of a deficit to the tribe, and she was the first boot of the season.

Lorne Vaughn

**Lorne Vaughn** was a castaway on *Survivor: Seychelles*.

**Current Residence:** Anchorage, Alaska

**Occupation:** Fisherman

**Tribe Designation:** Mahe

**3 Words to Describe You:** Stern, Patient, Realistic

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I come from a long line of fishermen. My great grandfather bought a fishing ship and moved to Alaska many years ago, and ever since that every man in our family has worked as a fisherman. My sons right now work beside me and my own father. I have four sons and one daughter with my beautiful wife Chelle. I've also never left the United States beyond Canada, so this is going to be an excursion for me!

**Favorite Past Castaway:** Ivonne Chimwell was a fisher just like me, and she played a badass game both times, so I have to give respect to my warm-blooded fishing sister. However, my absolute favorite has to be Jeffrey Schuyler from *Laos.* He was a vicious player, a very serious and successful man, someone I would've respect and gotten along with swimmingly. He was robbed in all definitions of the word.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** My life has not been hard in the sense that I have ever struggled to make ends meet or suffered severe loss, but I live a much rougher and tougher life than most people in this country, and I feel like it has prepared me to be resilient and patient in the game. I will be able to weather the elements, and my real-life experience will help me make allies and survive to the end.

Emanuelle Pouydebat

**Emanuelle Pouydebat** was a castaway on *Survivor: Ecuador*.

**Current Residence:** Stoneham, Massachusetts

**Occupation:** Animal Researcher

**Tribe Designation:** Cuevita

**3 Words to Describe You:** Curious, Practical, Resilient

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** Ever since I was a little girl, I've been fascinated with animals. I became an animal researcher so I could study their behaviors and learn more about them and spend even more time with them. My dad was also a veterinarian so that made me love animals too. I'm also French; my parents were both born there, and I lived from my early twenties until two years ago, when I moved back to the States for work. If anything my English can be worse than my French lately!

**Favorite Past Castaway:** She's a castaway from the early seasons that most people have forgotten, but I for one love Antonia Danieli! She is just quite the legend, with her idols, whip smart confessional, and more! She just really played the game hard and with everything she had, and it's unfortunate that people don't really remember her these days.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I have a lot of experience dealing with people, but one thing that is key is that I'm also used to loneliness. There's a lot of alone time as a researcher, and I lived alone in France for almost ten years. There is so much loneliness in *Survivor,* but I'll be able to persevere, be myself, and play the game I need to play to be able to win.

## Voting History

### *Survivor: Ecuador*

Emanuelle began the game on shaky feet, not connecting well with her tribe and only allying with Nobu Callait. After their plan to target the strong yet aggressive Zachary Heiffel failed for his volatile behavior, and Nobu was voted out, Emanuelle was alone on the tribe. By fabricating a rumor of a showmance between Zachary and another member of the tribe outside of the majority, Issi Londen, she was able to save herself from elimination in a 5-4 vote. Feeling rejuvenated after her strong gameplay and by the swap, Emanuelle began to play harder on post-swap Cuevita, working harder socially. She tried to make an all woman's alliance to target Everett Dax for being a major threat, but it fell apart once Kinti Faith realized Emanuelle was scared of the captains, and she compared notes with Everett. Because of that, Emanuelle was caught playing both sides. Emanuelle could not recover from this pitfall, and was voted out unanimously afterwards for being untrustworthy.

## Trivia

* Emanuelle received at least 2 votes at every Tribal Council she attended, and each time she attended Tribal Council, the amount of votes against her increased.
Ferdinand Harmon

**Ferdinand Harmon** was a castaway on *Survivor: The Moluccas*.

**Current Residence:** Stanford, California

**Occupation:** Medieval Historian

**Tribe Designation:** Tioor

Raised by his grandparents in rural Nebraska, Ferdinand had a lonely childhood on their farm. He found much of his solace in his grandfather's expansive library, and most of the books were either fantasy novels or history books. Ferdinand was a voracious reader, reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy by the time he was in 5th grade. Soon enough, fantasy began to bore him, and he found a new passion in history, especially of the medieval era. A top student, he earned scholarships to university, where he studied Classics and History, working his way up to a PhD in Medieval History. He now works as a historian and professor at Stanford University, and lives in the college town with his wife, who is a Middle English translator, and their three children.

Ferdinand is a warm and endearing personality, epitomizing the friendly and encouraging ideal that many professors attempt to emulate. He is deeply curious, always loving to learn new things and teach these things to others, and he is a very tolerant, loving kind of man. However, he is still a nerdy little boy at heart, and he sometimes struggles to feel confident in environments outside of academia, oftentimes stumbling over his words or becoming a total klutz in his anxiousness. This leads him to be a sweet but often awkward man, preferring the company of his close family and friends or a good book to a roaring party.

While Ferdinand isn't one to watch much TV, his oldest son Clovis is a Survivor superfan who got his dad into watching the show over the years. While Ferdinand started watching the show as a bonding experience with his son, he is now a fervent fan himself, and he is eager to try his own hand at winning the title of Sole Survivor. He admits he is there more for the title and the experience, saying he is well off as a tenured professor, but he says there's always more room in a college fund for three kids. Ferdinand plans to focus on being everyone's trusted confidant, the nice guy in the corner, knowing he has neither the physicality or the charisma to manipulate those around him. Hopefully by gaining everyone's trust, he will be able to use his sharp mind to then outwit them all.

Ferdinand lives with his wife Guinevere (48) and their children Clovis (16), Otto (14), and Christine (14).

Su's Amazing Race 10

***Su's Amazing Race 10*** is the tenth season of Su's Amazing Race series.

## Development

For this season, the producers decided to do something different. They changed the season to have three non-elimination legs, and only one U-Turn. They also cut down the teams to only twelve. These twelve teams were special this season however. 24 strangers, 12 men and 12 women, had been cast, and they would form 12 co-ed teams of strangers trying to navigate the world together in an all new twist. These teams would be chosen randomly right before Leg 1 began; they would have a half hour before it to get to know each other.

Donnie Keene

**Donnie Keene** was a castaway on *Survivor: Seychelles*.

**Current Residence:** Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee

**Occupation:** Baitshop Worker

**Tribe Designation:** Praslin

**3 Words to Describe You:** Kind, Shy, Hard-working

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I'm the oldest of five girls, so it's both really cool and really obnoxious to be able to teach and help out my four younger sisters. My whole extended family owns a baitshop and a diner by a lake in our little town, where we sell things to fish with and boats and other things to enjoy yourself at the lake. I work the baitshop counter in the summer, and I waitress in the winter; it's really all one big family effort.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I really love Ariel Barten-Lee! She's so pretty and kind, and she was quiet and not in your face just like me. And yet, she was able to win the game, and it was really awesome to see that happen. So it gives me hope that as someone who isn't crazily talkative, I have a chance to win this game too.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I'm not sure I will be, I'm not that confident that things are going to go well. I've just never travelled outside of Tennessee, and travelling to the other side of the world to play a game with strangers is so scary. But I want to get out of bubble, see the world, and meet people. So I hope that I can learn a lot from this experience, even if I don't win. If I do manage to win, it's because people see me as someone who's sweet and easygoing.

## Trivia

* Donnie is the second person to win Final Immunity in a Final 3 scenario and lose the game. Incidentally, the person who did this before her has a very similar name: Donald Stanfield. They both also lost the game 6-3.
Screw Strategy

**Screw Strategy** is the eighth episode and merge episode of Survivor: Chad - Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty.

## **The Merge: *Mirage***

**Qawiun and Jamila merge into a single new purple tribe, which the castaways name Mirage after the visions many of them have seen in the deserts of Chad over the days of their journey thus far.**

## **Immunity Challenge: *Uncomfortably Numb***

**Each castaway will balance their feet on a very narrow perch while holding a handle above their head. If at any point, they let go of the handle or a foot comes off the perch, they are out of the challenge. The last castaway left standing will win Immunity.**

## **Tribal Council #8: *Mirage***

 Storm (6 votes)
 Saanvi (4 votes)

## **Trivia**

* **Helix had the most confessionals this episode, with 7.**
* **Viviana had the least confessionals this episode, with 1.**
Carina Gibson

**Carina Gibson** was a castaway on *Survivor: Canary Islands - Blood vs. Water.*

## Bio

### *Survivor: Canary Islands - Blood vs. Water*

**Name (Age):** Carina Gibson (28)

**Current Residence:** Melbourne, FL

**Occupation:** Hand Model

**Tribe Designation:** Riada

**Loved One:** Jonny (Cousin)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Flirty, Witty, Manipulative

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** Nail polish, for sure. I love painting my nails, it’s one of main parts of my job and it’s so therapeutic, would be helpful in the stress of the game. Definitely some sangria or white wine for relaxation, also soap so I don’t get too disgusting out on the island.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I may be the pretty girl who doesn’t like to get all that muddy, but I am here to fight and prove that I’m more than just a pretty face. I’m here to manipulate anyone I can, and I plan on focusing on manipulating the hot young guys and making them do my bidding. They do it in real life so they’ll certainly do it on Survivor. Also, I wouldn't be opposed to putting together an all girls alliance if the guys are all taken, girl power amirite?!

Ginny Dupree

**Ginny Dupree** was a castaway on *Survivor: Seychelles*.

**Current Residence:** Spokane, Washington

**Occupation:** Receptionist

**Tribe Designation:** Mahe

**3 Words to Describe You:** Compassionate, Gregarious, Emotional

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** My younger sister Milly and I were raised by our mother after our father left when I was only five years old, and we struggled through some hard times together. However, we survived that trauma and right now she's in college to become an archaeologist! I'm so proud of her. Right now, I still live at home with my mom and I work as a receptionist to make ends meet, but I have dreams of eventually going to school to become a nurse.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** My favorite past castaway has to be Rhodeia Black. She was just such a vivacious and lively woman that had so much fun and was hilarious on the island, but at the beginning she was more shy and reserved. Seeing her transform and overcome her fears really tugged at my heartstrings; I'll admit I'm a crier! So it was definitely amazing to see her do so well on *Corsica.*

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I think that I have been through some hard times in my life, but it's made me a stronger person coming out on the other side of it. I feel like I can really relate to many different types of people, and I have the social skills to really connect with people. I'm a little bit worried about being able to play a hardcore strategic game, but at the end of the day I think I'll be able to handle it since a million dollars is on the line.
