**Oliver**and his brake van Toad were saved from scrap by Douglas, for which they are very grateful. With a new coat of green paint, he works proudly on Duck's branch line. The Troublesome Trucks used to play tricks on Oliver until he taught S.C. Ruffey a lesson.

## Availability

Oliver was first produced in 1995 and was retired in 2003.

In 2005, he was included with the Smelting Yard and had unique painted eyes.

In 2006, he was reintroduced individually for a limited time. This model featured a whole new shape and face. This version of Oliver was later seen in the 5-Car Gift Pack. In the United Kingdom, this version was never released. The 2005 Oliver was the last version produced there, and it was retired in 2009.

In 2014, Oliver was included in the Oliver's Fossil Freight multi-car pack. This model was based on Oliver's appearance in the *Tale of the Brave* and featured another new shape and face.

After Culdee & the Apple Orchard Cars was retired, the Apple Cargo Car and cargo were released in the Thomas' Tall Friend pack with new liveries and details.

## Trivia

Elf

A humanoid race, the **elves** typically stand taller than humans, have slender, lithe bodies, large eyes, and pointed ears. During the Ancient Era, the elves were the dominant race of Antica and possessed several advanced civilizations.

## Appearance

Elves are lithe humanoids that typically stand just over six feet in height. They have tall, willowy frames, thin faces with large eyes and straight noses, and long, pointed ears.

Elves mature at roughly the same rate as humans until around twenty-five years of age. At that point, their aging slows to about 1/5th of that of humans. Unlike humans, Elven women are only fertile for ten days every year, normally in the fall.

Elves possess senses sharper than humans. They're capable of seeing a drop of dew on a blade of grass from several feet away, and their ears can hear a conversation from two rooms away.

## History

The history of the elves is an ancient one. Elven historians debate on which of their races has the oldest civilization. According to archaeological evidence, the city of Invarin in on the Tohthra Isles is older than the Khemis Empire. The Elven civilizations peaked during the Ancient Era, before the founding of the Taldian Empire.

## Culture

Like humans, Elves have a diverse array of societies and customs, depending on their ethnicity. These range from the honor-bound, warrior customs of the Tiamrás to the more intellectual and artistic culture of the Osirrás.

### Religions

The Elven religion tends to vary based on ethnicity and region.

### Ethnicities

* Tiamrás
* Khonrás
* Osirrás
* Nephrás
* Hathrás

Dahlia Zhou

**Dahlia Zhou** was a castaway on *Survivor: Barbados.*

**Current Residence:** Carmel, IN

**Occupation:** Graphic Designer

**Tribe Designation:** Osona (Younger Women)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Smart, Subtle, Innovative

**3 Things You'd Bring on the Island:** I'd bring my computer, just for the entertainment and also for the manipulation value. "You wanna email your wife? Well you've gotta vote with me then!" It would be a great game tool. Then I'd also bring my wifi hotspot so the computer could run. And on the more selfish side, I'd bring this little stuffed elephant named Vinny that my dad got me when I was really sick when I was a little kid. I always have it and it comforts me whenever I'm feeling sick or stressed so I'll miss Vinny more than I'd like to admit.

**Previous Survivor Contestant You're Most Like:** I'd say I'm a lot like Becky Lee from Cook Islands, and I see some of myself in Xandera from Swaziland, being an oftentimes quieter Asian girl. I think a lot of me can also be seen in Natalie Anderson.

**Why Are You the Next Sole Survivor?:** I think I've got a good mix of characteristics that many people lack. I have intelligence but also creativity; I have people skills but I can also blend into the background and not be noticed as much. I think that interesting cocktail of a personality will really help me survive and thrive in Survivor.

Neil

* Production Model
* Prototype

**Neil** is a small, green engine used for light yard work and pulling small freight. He looks anxious, but that's only because he wants to do a good job--and he does.

## Availability

Neil was first produced in 1999 and was retired in 2001.

He was sold in a multi-car pack with a green Sodor China Clay Car in 2001 at Zany Brainy toy stores.

Despite being retired individually in 2001, he was still included in the Bridge & Tunnel Set until 2003.

## Trivia

* Neil's prototype model featured a thinner face and brighter **S & M 2** lettering on his sides.
Caitlin

Ama Phillis

**Ama Phillis** was a castaway on *Survivor: India - Blood vs. Water*.

**Current Residence:** Annapolis, Maryland

**Occupation:** Medical Sales Rep

**Tribe Designation:** Taaza

**Loved One:** Brock (Fiancee)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Adventurous, Persuasive, Endearing

**About Your Loved One:** Brock and I are engaged, and we were actually supposed to be getting married in about a week, but we decided to take this offer to come play together even though his season just finished airing! He's my soon-to-be husband and boyfriend of almost four years now, and we have such a special bond in my opinion. I'm excited for us to go on this adventure together before we start a life together.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I'd have to say that Ivonne Chimwell is my favorite past castaway. She was absolutely amazing in *Chad*, and I'm still shocked that Kaguya beat her in fire. And then on *All-Stars*, I know she got 3rd place, but I really think her game was underrated and that FTC was a crapshoot. She just had a really rootable personality and good game skills, and she seems like someone I'd love to go on a journey somehwere with.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I think that I can be the Sole Survivor because I come in a bit of an inconspicuous package. I look like the bottle blonde bombshell who isn't going to have her own ideas or a strong understanding of the game, but Brock has taught me all there's to know about the game. I'm really good at getting close to people and I'm not afraid to go out here and play hard to prove I deserve a spot on this season with a bunch of returning players.

Lana Riveras

**Lana Riveras** was a castaway on *Survivor: Rome - The Underworld*.

**Current Residence:** Miami, Florida

**Occupation:** Bikini Waitress

**Tribe Designation:** Proserpina

**3 Words to Describe You:** Sweet, Pretty, Positive

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I'm a second generation American; my grandparents immigrated from Guatemala back in the day and brought my family to this country. When I was little I wanted to be an actress, and I still have that dream deep down in my heart, but I'm still very happy with the life I lead now as a bikini waitress. I might not make the big bucks but at least I get to have fun and rock the bod! I've also been dating my boyfriend Rolando for the past two years, and he's seriously the love of my life. I can't even look at another man, that's how much he means to me.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** Is this a question? There should be one answer for everyone who's ever watched this show, and the answer is Xiomara Vasquez! She's just everything you could ask for. Equal parts hero and villain, equal parts sexy and strategic, equal parts funny and relatable...she's just someone I want to emulate so badly out here. I don't think I'm as cutthroat or gorgeous as her, but gosh, it'd be a dream to play anywhere near as good as her.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I feel like I'm a people person, and that's something I've been proud of all my life. I've always been able to get along well with other people and understand their perspectives, be it the other girls at casting calls or the people who come to my workplace. Yeah, I'm in good shape and I know the show, but I have an ability to get along with anyone and I think that's a skill almost everyone else will lack.

Rawan Abdullah

**Rawan Abdullah** was a castaway on *Survivor: Seychelles*.

**Current Residence:** Seattle, Washington

**Occupation:** Video Editor

**Tribe Designation:** Digue

**3 Words to Describe You:** Geeky, Introverted, Detail-Oriented

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** My dad was in the Air Force when I was a little kid, so I moved around all over the country when I was in elementary through high school. I think I went to like eight different schools in twelve years. The last place we ended up was Seattle, and I loved it so much so I just stayed here, and now I work as a video editor for some pretty famous YouTubers that I'm not allowed to name. Also, I'm a really big BTS stan. Go Army!

**Favorite Past Castaway:** Hmm...that's a hard question for me. I would probably go with Xandera Liu, I don't think I'm anywhere near as cool or strong as her, but I feel like she was a nerd, and I stan and protect nerds. She was like, the evolved nerd, and seeing her play so hard in both of her seasons was so awesome. She's also from Washington and I got to meet her once which was so fun!

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I don't think I will be, to be quite honest. I'm very worried coming out here, that I'm not going to be able to relate with any of these people and that it's just going to be a big bust. I'm not that strong or social. But I'm going to try my best to be confident, make some friends, and put my big brain to work, because I'm not flying out halfway across the world for nothing hopefully!

## Voting History

Belinda Maslowski

**Belinda Maslowski** was a castaway on *Survivor: Guadeloupe*.

**Current Residence:** Bath, Ohio

**Occupation:** Historical Intepreter

**Tribe Designation:** Galante

Belinda grew up in a strict Catholic family in rural Ohio in a family of six siblings. Belinda was the black sheep as a teenager, listening to metal music and sneaking off to rock concerts at Blossom. This reputation culminated when Belinda became pregnant from a one night stand at nineteen. She was kicked out of her house, which led her to raise her daughter on her own. Belinda worked as a mailwoman for many years while getting a degree in history from the local community college at night. Eventually, she got her degree and started work at the Hale Farm & Village, a reenactment center of pioneer life in 1700s Ohio. Belinda's own daughter got pregnant when she was in her early 20s, and after having the baby she began working at the Hale Farm & Village as well, bringing her daughter along and making it a family affair. Belinda works in making traditional soaps, while her daughter works as a tour guide.

While she plays the part of a conservative settler woman during the daytime, Belinda's true personality is far from the meek and mild-mannered Josephine Hale that she pretends to be in the Village. Belinda loves loud music and parties, always loving anything counter-culture. She is a fluent curser, the type of person who sees swearing as an art form. Despite this, however, Belinda is also a warm and loving person, quick to trust. She is the type of person to give you a hug when she first meets you, living life by the motto that you must do all you can before you die. Belinda does not plan to mask her personality, thinking it is what makes her unique in life.

Belinda has watched *Survivor* for many years with her daughter, as it is one of their favorite pasttimes. She has been applying for the past six years straight in hopes of making it on the show, and now that she has the opportunity she says she will not squander it for anything. While Belinda knows that many older women often play up the motherly or grandmotherly role to get them far, Belinda rejects this idea, wanting to play as her authentic self. She believes by being her genuine self she will be able to make friends in the game. She wants to play the game, knowing you have to strike the right balance between playing hard and falling into the background to win in the end. She believes her biggest hurdle will be the physical element of the game, as she can't remember the last time she was able to touch her own toes.

Belinda lives with her daughter Deirdre (40) and granddaughter Jonie (17).
Black is the New Black

***Black is the New Black*** is the first episode of *Su's Project Runway 1.*

## Day 1

On the roof of a building overlooking New York City, ten fashion designers can be seen walking in a line with anxious and excited looks on their faces as the wind blows back their hair. Waiting for them on the other side of the roof is Su Sangster, their host, who is dressed in a slim black suit. He smiles and welcomes them.

"Welcome, designers, to the first season of Su's Project Runway!" he says with an excited grin, and the ten designers whoop and cheer excitedly. "The ten of you have been selected for your immense skills in fashion design and construction, and these skills will be put to the test in this season. Only three of you will advance to have a full collection at New York Fashion Week, and one of you will become the winner. The winner will take home $250k cash as well as $50k worth of materials, a spread in a fashion magazine, and an internship with an esteemed fashion designer. Are you guys ready to begin?"

The ten designers cheer with enthusiasm, and then Su continues. "Well, if you guys are ready, let's get the season rolling, shall we? Right now, we are standing on top of the Work Room. And in a couple of moments, you will have twenty minutes to go down there and sketch, and then we'll head out to Mood for fabrics. But first, I have to tell you what the challenge is. Any guesses?"

A young man with a long, sandy brown ponytail raises his hand. "Is it going to be a suit challenge?"

"Not quite, but close. For this challenge, you will be creating your own version of a very popular and cliched fashion trope: the little black dress."

There are various reactions to this. The young man who has just spoken, Kasey, looks intrigued, while a short Korean woman named Cantara looks worried.

**Eulalie Brixton** was a castaway on *Survivor: Seychelles*.

**Current Residence:** Topeka, Kansas

**Occupation:** Retired

**Tribe Designation:** Digue

**3 Words to Describe You:** Witty, Realistic, Persuasive

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I've been single my entire life, and not ashamed of it. I'm straight as an arrow and all of that, I just found marital life to seem like such a bore and men to be tedious in long-term relationships. Before I retired, I worked in a big pharmaceutical company in New York City, but once I retired, I moved back out to Topeka where I grew up to enjoy my hard-won relaxation.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I'd have to go with Mitzi Vo, even though *Ecuador* just aired. She didn't give a damn about what anyone thought of her, or that she wasn't best friends with everyone. She was there to play her game and play it hard, and play it hard she did. Her strategy was stellar, she was majorly robbed in my opinion.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I believe that I may be seen as a liability; I have no doubt I'll be the oldest castaway on this season by over a decade, and even my daily calisthenics won't allow me to keep up with the 20-somethings in challenges. But I also believe I am deceptively cunning and manipulative, and people won't expect me to be as much of a strategic powerhouse as I am capable of being. I imagine if I can get past the hurdles of being a challenge liability pre-merge, that I'll surely be able to strategize my way to the end.

Maura Phipps

**Maura Phipps** was the runner up of *Survivor: Barbados.*

**Current Residence:** Las Cruces, NM

**Occupation:** Attorney

**Tribe Designation:** Zsalet (Older Women)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Intense, Focused, Merciless

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** My journal, it helps me express my emotions and make sure they won't leak out into the game, because I'm not here to play emotionally. Then some comfy stuff like pillows or blankets to make the bamboo planks of the shelter more bearable. Oh, and some cash so I could bribe people into doing what I want. Kidding! (Not really...)

**Previous Survivor Contestant You're Most Like:** I was rooting for Chrissy Hofbeck in HvHvH harder than anyone else I've ever rooted for (she was *extremely* robbed, and I'll stand by it). I'm guessing that's because we're very similar, both tough moms who work in cutthroat, male dominated industries.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I have studied this game for years. When I'm not at work or taking care of my family, I'm watching Survivor, talking about Survivor, thinking about Survivor, writing up little Survivor stories. It's by and far my favorite show (what else do you need out of a show?) I know what I have to do to win this game, and I know my strategy will be far ahead of most of my competitors. The hardest part will be the social game, since sometimes I get a little gamebot-like, but I know that I'll be able to work it out.

Christopher Holt

**Christopher Holt** was a castaway on *Survivor: Honduras - Fans vs. Favorites.*

## **Bio**

### ***Honduras***

**Name (Age):** Christopher Holt (26)

**Current Residence:** Fresno, CA

**Occupation:** Graphic Designer

**Tribe Designation:** Fans (Llegada)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Smart, Millennial, Innovative

**3 Things You'd Bring on the Island:** Maybe this is a little raw or whatever but my favorite music is stuff like Twenty One Pilots and MCR and P!ATD, so I'd just have to bring some of their beats on an old iPod shuffle just for the effect. Then Flaming Hot Cheetos, because fuck yes. And finally, to actually be conventional and not just a grubby sarcastic slob, I'd bring a water filter so we can drink on the first day without having to get a fire to boil water over.

**Previous Castaway You're Most Like:** I actually thought Faris Larsson was about as close as you can get to my doppelganger, minus the fact that you know, he's white and blonde. But like, fuck, I'm probably edgier than him which is saying something, and I get him.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** So obviously I'm pretty raw and edgy and awkward, but that's just part of what's going to help me in this game. When I'm going into a serious challenge, I can cut down the frills and focus on the task, and succeed. I know this game extremely well, I've seen every season multiple times, and I want to win this. I'm going to bring new strategy and new life to this game while hiding behind this cringy Millennial persona, and trust me, it's going to be fuckin' great.

## ***Honduras***

**Placement:** 9/20

**Votes Against:** 12

**Challenge Wins:** 5

**Days Lasted:** 28

Christopher found himself getting into the majority easily in the early parts of *Honduras* due to his strategic chops. In the Fans majority alliance, he bonded closely with Freya McClain and Cressida Anube. He was keen on keeping the original alliance together despite some changes in the game plan. After the swap, his alliance maintained control, and he was never in much real danger. The only time he received votes pre-merge was when two members of his alliance voted against him just in case their target had an idol. At the merge, his alliance found itself in the minority, and Christopher was seen as its strategic mastermind. At the Final 11, he used his idol to save himself, idoling out traitor Uriah Masterson. His alliance gained the upper hand after Pia Chavez flipped to their side at the Final 10. However, the next round, Tae Min Kim was the target, but he used an idol. Tae Min and his allies pinned their votes on Christopher, eliminating him in hopes of fracturing the majority by removing their strategic leader. At Final Tribal Council, Christopher was stuck between voting for Pia or Nichole Tarquin, one of his allies. He eventually voted for Pia due to her answering his question more strategically while Nichole tried to flatter him.
Stacie Heyman

**Stacie Heyman** was a castaway on *Survivor: Guadeloupe*.

**Current Residence:** Tustin, California

**Occupation:** QVC Presenter

**Tribe Designation:** Desirade

Born into a wealthy family on the east coast, Stacie lived comfortably and happily throughout her childhood. She attended private schools her whole life before getting a degree in acting from Columbia. She moved to LA when she was 21 to pursue a career in acting; while she scored some minor roles, she never made it big. She ended up marrying a film director and being a stay-at-home mom for many years until their divorce four years ago. Since then, Stacie has picked up a job she has come to love as a presenter of items on the QVC channel, helping support herself and her kids.

Often seen as an airheaded blonde ditz as she was growing up, Stacie presents herself very confidently and intelligently, trying to fight this stereotype as much as she can. While she toned herself down for many years with her overbearing ex-husband, Stacie is reclaiming her independence after their divorce, being more and more outspoken and courageous. Beyond this confident exterior, Stacie is nurturing and sweet to those she is close to, trying her best to be an attentive parent after she grew up with distant ones that never showed their love as much as they should've.

Stacie is playing *Survivor* because her oldest son got her into the show a few years back, and she has been unable to put aside the dream of playing the game since. Having watched every season, Stacie feels like *Survivor* is the perfect opportunity to prove to herself and to the world that she is fully capable on her own. While she admits she doesn't need the money, she is still motivated to win the game, wanting to win for the title most of all. Stacie plans to play up a motherly role on the tribe, knowing coming in as her confident self might rub people the wrong way. She hopes to lay low in this way before breaking out later in the game to begin playing much harder. With her daily pilates classes, Stacie knows she can physically handle the game, and she knows that if she plays it right she can become the next Sole Survivor.

Stacie is single. She lives with her children Alexander (19), Emma (17), Lucas (15), and Samuel (14).
Amy Donahue

**Amy Donahue** was a castaway on *Survivor: Barbados.*

## Bio

**Name (Age):** Amy Donahue (41)

**Current Residence:** Bonner Springs, KS

**Occupation:** Homemaker

**Tribe Designation:** Zsalet (Older Women)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Compassionate, Kind, Faithful

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** I would definitely have to bring my bible, it'll be tough going without it! Then probably a phone so I could call my family and play my favorite game, Candy Crush. And then sunscreen, I burn pretty easily!

**Previous Survivor Contestant You're Most Like:** People have said I'm sort of like Dawn, which I can see! I personally think I'm also a lot like Lisa Whelchel, she's probably the person I've been most inspired by from Survivor, and I loved the Facts of Life!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** People have always told me I'm sweet and personable. I plan to make lots of friends and be the tribe mom. People won't see me as threatening but I'll be able to win and pull of some good moves because they won't see me coming! God also gives me strength every day and I know he'll help me persevere.

Antonia Danieli

**Antonia Danieli** was a castaway on *Survivor: Barbados.*

## Bio

**Name (Age):** Antonia Danieli (38)

**Current Residence:** Altoona, PA

**Occupation:** Baker

**Tribe Designation:** Zsalet (Older Women)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Chatty, Funny, Caring

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** Stuff to bake, there's no way to someone's heart like their stomach! Also an oven or something like that, so I could bake the stuff and also we could use that for most stuff instead of a fire which would be nice without flint. Ooooh, and potato chips!!

**Previous Survivor Contestant You're Most Like:** In preparation for this season I watched Panama, which was divided in the same way our season is going to be, and I have to say I'm a lot like Cirie and Melinda! Those two were hilarious together, too bad Melinda went so early! But I've heard Cirie does really well and comes back a lot so that's nice.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I may not be the biggest fan to walk the Earth, my strategy may be deceptively simple, sometimes I talk too much, and maybe I eat a few more cookies than I should at the bakery, but that doesn't mean I don't have a chance in this game! I'm going to work my butt off to play a strong social game, and I know that if I get everyone to like me it'll be much easier to get through this game.

Hayley Corin

**Hayley Corin** was a castaway on *Survivor: Corsica.*

**Current Residence:** Calabasas, CA

**Occupation:** Model

**Tribe Designation:** Younger (Criscente)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Fighter, Beautiful, Leader

**3 Things You'd Bring on the Island:** An array of bathing suits, if I'm going to be on everyone's television screens or whatever I've gotta have some changes of clothing, but the producers won't let me! Huff! Also, my whole giant makeup kit, that thing is probably over the carryon weight for a plane, but I've gotta stay looking perfect out there! And then my boyfriend Thomas so I don't get thirsty and do things I shouldn't with the other hot guys out there. It's happened before...

**Thoughts on Your Age Group:** When I get old, I'm going to basically like kill myself. This face is staying beautiful forever no matter what though, so I guess it wouldn't be that bad. I'm serious, I think I might be the first immortal person, just look at my skin, not a single blemish besides those pretty freckles I had tattooed on to complete my look! Anyway, young people fuckin' rock, and we have the best sex. Ayyyyyy!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** Are you going to be? Of course not, you don't have the goods and the moves to pull it off, dumbo. I radiate excellence and hotness, and I can manipulate people better than anyone I know! I was the head of the cheer squad in high school, I'm a born leader, and I'm going to line up my ugly little goats and tug them to the end in fantastic fashion, just you wait.

Mellorie Ispen

**Mellorie Ispen** was a castaway on *Survivor: Ecuador*.

**Current Residence:** Bronx, New York

**Occupation:** Jewelry Designer

**Tribe Designation:** Cuevita

**3 Words to Describe You:** Unconventional, Creative, Aesthetic

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I wasn't always this fashionable, believe it or not! Once upon a time, I was a little girl in the backwaters of Mississippi. Thankfully, I got out of there. I originally wanted to be a Broadway actress, but I realized that was both hard to do and that I loved jewelry more. I currently work as a jewelry designer for an alternative jewelry shop in the Bronx that makes crazy and out of the box pieces for high end clientele.

**Favorite Past Player:** Easy! It has to be, without a doubt, Ursie Hale. What a beast at this game! She is just a strategic, social, and physical monster, being able to get what she wants while not being targeted by anyone. Her game wasn't just perfect on paper, it was perfect in real life too. She's a role model to play this game like and she's also so sweet that she's a role model for real life, too.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I think I can be the Sole Survivor because I come in an inconspicuous package. I'm not very athletic, I seem a little out there, and I'm wearing these big ass green glasses. People are going to totally underestimate me, but people underestimated Ursie too and she wiped the floor with them. I can win this game if I can make people believe I'm not as much of a strategic and social threat as I really am.
Mitzi Vo

**Mitzi Vo** was the runner-up of *Survivor: Ecuador*.

**Current Residence:** Council Bluffs, Iowa

**Occupation:** Glassblower

**Tribe Designation:** Cuevita

**3 Words to Describe You:** Meticulous, Artistic, Introverted

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** When my parents got divorced when I was 8 years old, they couldn't agree on a settlement and they had moved to opposite sides of the country. So I had to fly between California and North Carolina until I turned 18 every couple weeks. It was hellish. After I got out of high school, I cut off most ties with my family and went at it alone. I still am pretty distant from them, and I'm single. When I was in my early 20s and working as a secretary, I met an old man named Larry who offered to teach me glassblowing. I was bored off my ass in an office so I agreed to it, and I've been creating glasswork ever since.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** Soo Jung Kim is a coldhearted strategist who takes no prisoners. She is by far my favorite castaway, and I feel like I can relate to her struggles to make bonds outside of the game and often feeling overshadowed by more vivacious, talkative people. And she was fun to root for on *Canary Islands* too. In my opinion, they should've given one of Tae Min's two returning spots to her!

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** Because I have the ability to be completely emotionless and detach from relationships I make with people. That's what trips a lot of people up in this game, they struggle to separate friendship from game. If anything for me, I'll struggle to make a lot of relationships, not struggle backstabbing. But if I can get a group of allies, I know I'll be able to outwit and outlast my way to the finale.

## Trivia

* Mitzi is the first castaway to lose at Final Tribal Council because of a tied vote.
* Mitzi holds the record for most votes gained by a runner-up with 4, shared with Xiomara Vasquez.
Kara Leibovitz

**Kara Leibovitz** was a castaway on *Survivor: Ecuador*.

**Current Residence:** Eagan, Minnesota

**Occupation:** Karate Instructor

**Tribe Designation:** Charca

**3 Words to Describe You:** Competitive, Disciplined, Determined

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** My parents divorced when I was little, and when I was like 6 or 7 my mom remarried to a Japanese guy who ran a marshal arts studio. Love you, Otosan. I fell in love with karate right away, and earned my first black belt by age 14 through lots of hard work and practice. Now, I’ve been teaching kids my favorite sport for a living for fifteen years, with my own studio for the past six, and it’s my favorite thing to do.

**Favorite Past Player:** I’ll have to go with Alondra Sanchez. She was just a crazy, competitive beast in Corsica, and she was my favorite from that season by far. And she was so, so, so robbed in Honduras that I don’t even want to talk about it. She really deserves a third chance, because she’s a legend in my books.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I’m incredibly disciplined. I can be calm and patient, which will help in the stressful situations this game puts you in. I’m also very good physically so I’ll be able to dominate in challenges. This patience with all of the crazy types of people in the game plus my athleticism will help me nab the title. I’m also so competitive that they’ll have to drag me out of challenges or Tribal Council kicking and screaming.
Ben Singh

**Ben Singh** was a castaway on *Survivor: Laos - Anarchy.*

**Current Residence:** Naperville, IL

**Occupation:** Comic Artist

**Tribe Designation:** None (Anarchy)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Imaginative, Nerdy, Funny

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I've been making my own comic books since I was in preschool! Granted, they weren't published until right after I graduated high school, but it's always been my passion. Also, my favorite superhero of all time is Batman and I live for everything Batman related! I had to wear this Batman shirt on the island of course! And then, I'm allergic to tree nuts which sucks but like, at least it's not something like sugar or flour!

**Strategy, Social, or Physical?:** Strategy, honestly! People always make a big deal out of the social game, but I think you have to have a strategic sense of how and when to socialize with different people. Without strategic tact, you fall apart in this game, so anyone who's inferior strategically isn't going to be able to keep up in my opinion!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** Maybe I'm just the token nerdy superfan they always want to cast who always says they know this game better than anyone, but I really feel like I do! The only things I love more than this game is my family and Batman, and I think I'm going to be able to kick butt out here, especially since looking at me you might not expect much from me especially socially!
