Pomelo

**Pomelo** was the Sole Survivor of *Random Survivor 5: Fruit.*

Pomelo's pre-merge tribes often floundered in challenges, but their strong challenge peformances kept them safe on their original tribe. After an unlucky tribe expansion, they were able to scrape by to the tribe dissolve due to their challenge skills, endearing personality, and a vital idol play that saved them from being voted off at the Final 23. After the tribe dissolve, they were reunited with close ally Quince, and the two rose to power on Azucarada, forging a lasting partnership that would define the later stages of the season.

After the merge, Pomelo was immune more often than not, winning the Merge Feast Challenge that kept them immune for the first three post-merge rounds as well as five Individual Immunities. This established them as the fiercest physical competitor on the season. However, they were not purely a competition beast, becoming one of the major underdogs of the season. As Quince's right-hand man, they were able to help topple Guava's expansive majority alliance, using the second idol they found pre-merge on Quince to begin the destruction of the majority. The used their "himbo" energy to minimize their threat level after this impressive early merge performance. Still, they were often targeted by the now-minority, led by Guava, who saw them as a social and physical threat. However, they were always able to survive elimination due to their Immunities and their social play combined with Quince's sharp strategic instincts.

Pomelo maintained control with Quince until Quince's elimination at the Final 6, where they were the only one to vote with them. From there, Pomelo lost control of the game a bit, being used as a vote at Final 5 to accomplish the plan to vote off Nectarine they had been unable to pull off with Quince at the Final 6. At the Final 4, despite being seen as a massive game-long threat, they avoided fire. They were brought to Final Tribal Council by Pomegranate, widely regarded as a goat, who Pomelo had forged a strong endgame relationship with.

At Final Tribal Council, Pomelo was praised for their epic physical gameplay as well as their social gameplay that had left many jurors with warm feelings towards them even if they had not worked together. However, Pomelo was also berated for falling in Quince's strategic shadow, not making many visible individual moves in the post-merge to differentiate themselves, and losing control to competitor Durian in the last two votes. However, Pomelo was able to argue their case, pointing out their two game-altering idol plays as well as their ability to get Pomegranate to bring them to Final Tribal Council despite their impressive resume. In the end, Pomelo was awarded 8 of the 13 jury votes, as their strong physical and social gameplay along with a solid Final Tribal Council performance outweighed the doubts many jurors had about their strategic independence. At the Reunion Show, Pomelo was awarded the "Hero of the Season" title for their likable personality and satisfying underdog arc.

However, she knows she is in good shape, excited to try out the fun challenges, and she hopes to make lots of new friends.

Rojelio Ibarra

**Rojelio Ibarra** was a castaway on *Survivor: Guadeloupe*.

**Current Residence:** Baltimore, Maryland

**Occupation:** TSA Officer

**Tribe Designation:** Desirade

The son of Guatemalan immigrants, Rojelio has always been grateful for the life his parents have worked hard to give him. Growing up in a cramped Baltimore apartment with his parents, his siblings, and his grandmother, Rojelio has always been very close with his family, but also ready to live on his own. He dreams of becoming a pilot, wanting to travel the world, but his parents disapprove of this, wanting him to stay close to home. Unable to afford flight school on his own, he has had to put this dream on the backburner for the moment. Rojelio got a full-time job as a TSA Officer after high school in order to help out his parents while hoping to make some connections while working there to the aviation industry.

Always the type of guy to never be phased by anything, Rojelio has been described as chill by his friends his entire life. While he is often times one of the quieter people in the room, he has always been very kind and approachable, the type of guy to get along with almost anyone. While he is more reserved, always going with the flow, he is extremely loyal once you win his trust, and he prides himself on his honesty. However, he says he is willing to bend his morality to win the game.

While Rojelio hasn't been a long-time fan of *Survivor*, he sees the show as the perfect opportunity to travel abroad while he is still young while also working towards winning the grand prize. While he is excited for the experience, he is playing mostly for the million dollars, which he hopes would allow him to help out his family and let him attend flight school. Rojelio knows he won't be the most knowledgeable castaway on the island, but he hopes that his chill personality will allow him to vibe with his tribe. He also knows he is in shape, due to being a varsity football and wrestling player in high school, so he hopes to use his physicality and approachable personality to get him to the very end.

Rojelio is single. He lives with his parents Josefina (46) and Rolando (48), his siblings Junior (25), Liliana (23), and Domino (18), and his grandmother Serafina (69).
Martina Pelaez

**Martina Pelaez** was a castaway on *Survivor: Ecuador*.

**Current Residence:** Killeen, Texas

**Occupation:** Broker

**Tribe Designation:** Cuevita

**3 Words to Describe You:** Focused, Persuasive, Brave

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I actually have a twin sister, named Londra, and the two of us are identical. I love her to death but it's frustrating to have a carbon copy of you sometimes. I'm also a land broker, so I sell plots of land to people. It's a job that takes a lot of gusto and knowledge. Even though I'm a broker now, I originally went to school to become an engineer, but I realized that wasn't the path for me so I switched lanes.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** Pia Chavez is an answer so many people say, but I just have to reiterate it. She's the biggest hero and underdog to ever appear on the show, going from being alone on the bottom on Day 3 to winning the entire season and coming back and not doing too shabby in *All Stars*. She shows what a woman who isn't a 20-something can do if she's tough and smart.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** Throughout my life, believe it or not, I've always been less serious and analytical than my twin sister. This led me to develop strong people skills and learn how to manage conflict. And now that I'm an adult, I've also learned how to think logically and how to manage crazy or angry people. I think those two halves of me will allow me to excel at this game.
Dorian Gelletier

**Dorian Gelletier** was a castaway on *Survivor: Namibia*.

**Current Residence:** Latham, NY

**Occupation:** Aspiring Songwriter

**Tribe Designation:** Ovambo

**3 Words to Describe You:** Curious, Creative, Competitive

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I'd probably have to go with Emerson Wilmot. I think he's totally a shafted winner, people constantly say he's the worst winner we've had, and sure he's not the fanciest one, but he still played a great game! He was really empathetic, a smart player, and someone I'd want to be friends with, and it doesn't hurt that he's really cute too!

**Why Will You Be the Next SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I think that I have what it takes to be the next Sole Survivor because I'm a passionate student of this game, but I also have life experience outside of being a sheltered gay nerd from a wealthy family. I lived in Los Angeles alone for two years chasing my dream of being a songwriter, and if I can survive that, I can survive this game. I'll use my social skills and knowledge of the game to go as deep as I can.

## Voting History

### *Survivor: Namibia*

Dorian immediately clicked with fellow more quirky castaways Steff Morgensen and Odelia Firth, sticking by them even though he was offered a spot in the majority. Although Odelia went home early, Steff would be Dorian's ride or die throughout much of the first half of the game, and his game skills helped keep her alive in the pre-merge during her nasty rivalry with Kooper Longland. At the merge, Dorian soon lost Steff, and found himself having to fend for himself. He helped split the majority alliance at the Final 8, and narrowly escaped elimination at the Final 7 by painting Morty Villegas as a bigger target than him. He managed to get himself into a swing position at the Final 6, but at the Final 5 he found himself running out of options. He tried to target Kinti Faith for being the frontrunner to win, but Ariel Barten-Lee and DaQuan Melton both thought he was a bigger threat and voted him out in 5th place. At Final Tribal Council, Dorian came in undecided, saying he saw the pros and cons of both finalists (Ariel and DaQuan). In the end, he decided to vote for Ariel because he thought her kinder and more under-the-radar game was more pleasing and successful than DaQuan's rugged, aggressive game. His vote was the determining vote that made Ariel the Sole Survivor in a tight 4-3 vote.
Korey Rainn

**Korey Rainn** was a castaway on *Survivor: Seychelles*.

**Current Residence:** Manhattan, New York

**Occupation:** Broadway Actor

**Tribe Designation:** Digue

**3 Words to Describe You:** Lively, Passionate, Charismatic

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I'm an actor on Broadway, which has always been a dream job for me! My most recent appearance was in *Hamilton,* and I've also been in several other musicals. My mother was an opera singer, and from a very young age I'd always wanted to follower in her footsteps and become a performer as well. And yes, I am gay; I think theater is for everyone, but us gays just know how to sell it!

**Favorite Past Castaway:** My favorite past castaway has to be Dorian Gelletier. He may be a singer-songwriter, and I'm a Broadway musical actor, but seeing him talk so openly about his coming out story on national television while also being a lover of music made him someone I just had to root for! And even beyond that, he played a great game in *Namibia* that I hope to emulate.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** Some might say that being an actor would help me lie in the game, but more so I think it will help me be the best communicator on the island. The issue many people have is expressing their ideas and communicating with others; communication and passion will be my strengths. I am also in great physical shape, and I've watched every season of the show to prepare myself before coming out here, so I think I will surprise everyone.
Mi Na Phan

**Mi Na Phan** was a castaway on *Survivor: Namibia.*

**Current Residence:** San Francisco, CA

**Occupation:** Korean Translator

**Tribe Designation:**  Khoekhoe

**3 Words to Describe You:** Nerdy, Quirky, Logical

**Favorite Past Castaway:** Xandera Liu, 1000%! Watching the very first season of the show, I didn't know what to expect, but I was always rooting for Xandera to win, and when she won *Swaziland*, I was so happy. I still think she got robbed in *All Stars*, also. She just shows what Asian girls like us can do in the world and how we can rock this game!

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** Growing up with non English speaking parents, as well as being a first generation college student, I had to fight hard to get where I am today and to get to my level of success. Sure, I might like Star Trek and Settlers of Catan, but I also know how to interact with people of all cultures even if I can be a little nerdy or weird at times. I'm here to prove that I'm smarter and stronger than everyone thinks, and to prove it to myself too.

## Voting History

### *Survivor: Namibia*

Soon after beginning the game, Mi Na began to struggle with the elements, not being able to pull her weight around camp or in challenges very well. However, her happy personality and good strategic skills enabled her to form an alliance with Christelle Bofale and Lewis Chang in the early days of the game. Khoekhoe struggled in challenges, and at their first Tribal Council, Mi Na narrowly avoided elimination when swing votes Mellissa Podridge and Morty Villegas deemed her positivity more beneficial to the tribe than Patti Christopher's negativity. However, when Khoekhoe lost again, Morty and Mellissa could not ignore Mi Na's weaknesses and voted her out.

Omarosa Manigault

**Omarosa Manigault** was the Sole Survivor of *Random Survivor 2: CBBUS1.*

Omarosa came into the game intending to control it strategically. Early on she aligned with Shannon Elizabeth, and the two women ran the game, eliminating threats to them. This was until Omarosa was able to blindside Shannon at the Final 7 since people saw Omarosa as Shannon's side kick. From this point in the game, Omarosa worked hard strategically to get herself to the Final Tribal Council. She was able to manipulate Ross Matthews into bringing her to the end due to her villainous gameplay, where she was awarded the win due to stronger strategic control throughout the game.
Stephine Gaul

**Stephine Gaul** was a castaway on *Survivor: Chad - Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty.*

## Bio

### *Chad*

**Name (Age):** Stephine Gaul (29)

**Current Residence:** Sacramento, CA

**Occupation:** Professional Basketballer (for the WNBA)

**Tribe Designation:** Brawn (Qawiun)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Headstrong, Athletic, Sarcastic

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** A whoopie cushion to pull a prank on some unsuspecting gamebot, some water because I hate being dehydrated, and my best friend and teammate Alletta to remind me to get my head out of my ass and not make a fool of myself on national TV.

**Why are you a Brawn?:** I’m a professional athlete, duh. Just because it’s the WNBA doesn’t mean it’s not real dumbasses!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** Pfft, I have a big ego and I’m annoying, people will wanna use me as a shield but I’ll use that against them, letting them help me to the end before I blast those Immunities like a goddess and win! And I promise, I’m gonna try at a good social game!

Nelson Bromwell

**Nelson Bromwell** was a castaway on *Survivor: Guadeloupe*.

**Current Residence:** Kaufman, Texas

**Occupation:** Firearms Inspector

**Tribe Designation:** Galante

Growing up on a variety of different military bases as a child, Nelson struggled to ever make lasting friends as his parents had to move him regularly due to their professions. While Nelson originally hated this lifestyle, he ended up serving in the military as well after high school, serving in the Army for twenty-two years before leaving it behind once he saw what it was doing to his own children. He left, getting a job as a firearms inspector, interviewing people interested in selling guns and explosive devices to make sure they will not misuse them. Recently, his wife of forty years, Laura, passed away from cancer, leaving Nelson in a state of shell-shock.

Very much a stoic and reserved individual, Nelson is the type of person who can't remember the last time he shed a tear, outside of Laura's recent funeral. He believes in putting in dedication and working for what you want in life. He is a very analytical and practical person who believes emotions cause all evil in the world. He has receded even farther from his emotions after Laura's recent passing, becoming very grumpy and distant. Family has always been important to him, although he has been struggling to remain close with his children after Laura's death.

Nelson has always been a casual fan of the show, but never thought about playing until his daughter secretly filled out an application for him. After being cast, Nelson begrudgingly agreed to play the game upon the urging of his children, who hope the experience will spark new joy in him. He is unsure about how he will do on *Survivor*, worrying his old age will hinder him in challenges and in making bonds with the younger castaways. However, Nelson knows he has been receding from the world, and he knows Laura would want him to go on the adventure for the two of them since they have done nothing but work hard in their lives. Thus, Nelson goes in with no plan for the game, hoping he can prove himself to his fellow competitors and come away with the million dollars to go towards his retirement fund.

Nelson is single and lives alone. However, he has three adult children, Megan (39), Harold (35), and Lindsay (33), who all live within a couple hours of him in Texas.

Nathalie Pershing

**Nathalie Pershing** was a castaway on *Survivor: India - Blood vs. Water*.

**Current Residence:** Plandome, New York

**Occupation:** Embroiderer

**Tribe Designation:** Taaza

**Loved One:** Nichole (Sister)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Kind, Content, Family-oriented

**About Your Loved One:** Nichole is everything to me. Our mom passed when we were very young, so it was always just us two and our dad. The three of us are so tight knit, it's crazy; Nichole insists on living in the little villages out here with us even though most people who do her job live in the city. She was my maid of honor at my wedding to my husband Jerry, and the godmother to my two sons. Without her, I don't know what I would do, and even though I'm a homebody I'm coming out here for her.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** Besides my sister, my favorite castaway must be Polina Sokolov. She and Nichole were inseparable on their season, and whenever Polina comes to New York to visit, I stop by and see her because she's a very fun person to be around. I even liked Polina from the several episodes of *Chad* I saw before coming out here. She showed how older women can be strong and successful in this game just like my sister, which I think is a powerful statement, and she's a heck of a player too in my opinion.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I am very nervous coming out here to play this game, in all honesty. My entire life, I've never lived anywhere outside of Nassau County in New York, and this is the biggest adventure ever. I'm happy with my life at home, but I want to do this with Nichole to show how much I love her, and also to prove to myself that I have a little mettle. I'm going to put out my best effort to try and win, and maybe I'll surprise myself, but however long I last will be an accomplishment for me.
Orlia Jacobsen

**Orlia Jacobsen** was a castaway on *Survivor: Ecuador*.

**Current Residence:** New Haven, Connecticut

**Occupation:** Psychology Student

**Tribe Designation:** Charca

**3 Words to Describe You:** Smart, Quick-thinking, Perceptive

**3 Interesting Facts About Yourself:** I'm currently a psychology student at Yale! I just love psychology, ever since I read a book about it in middle school, and I want to be a psychologist so I can help people and learn all about the human mind and emotions. Yale is also awesome too, I'm going to be a senior and I'm just really looking forward to enjoying my last year on campus. When I get out of college, I want to work as a psychologist with either kids dealing with trauma or veterans with PTSD.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I'd say that Kismet Skor is my favorite castaway of all time. Like, come on, she's just so great! She's cute, she's kind, and she's a lot like me in a lot of ways, and she's also a badass Sole Survivor and strategist. She knows this game so well and she is just a beast at it, and I really love her and everything she's done on the show.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I have a deep and complex understanding of human development and the human mind and its emotions. I'll be able to understand when people are lying, what their motivations are, all of it. I'm also a huge fan of this game so I know all the strategy and history of it. Overall, I'm just going to be so well equipped to win that I think I can really do it well.
Marvin Lowe

**Marvin Lowe** was a castaway on *Survivor: Corsica.*

**Current Residence:** Chicago, IL

**Occupation:** Saxophonist

**Tribe Designation:** Older (Anzianu)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Skeptical, Stingy, "Retro"

**3 Things You'd Bring on the Island:** My saxophone, Jeanette, she's like my fifth limb. She's how I make my (meager) living and she's probably my best friend, no matter how lonely and depressing that sounds. Thank god I'm gay or someone might think I believe she's my wife! Then I'd probably bring a bathtub to wash Jeanette just as much as myself. And then to pamper me, I'd bring some gummy bears, my favorite candy, to eat when we get to the point where we're starved beyond belief.

**Thoughts on Your Age Group:** People suck, no matter how old they are. If someone's 18 or if they're 75, they're probably going to be an asshole either way if they are one. Some people are more of an asshole when they're young and pretty, but the same can be said of older people in their 70s and 80s who bitch and moan about everything. I'm dreading getting into my 70s; I enjoy living middle aged, and I'm on the brink of leaving it. Gah!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I've had to work for everything I have. Sure, it's not a lot; a condo, my saxophone, my cat Ginger. But it's still something. I grew up in poverty and I'll probably die just a little out of poverty, and that's some real progress there. I'll use my work ethic to really fight through this game, and I'll do whatever it takes. I'm not afraid to get dirty, to make friends and hurt them, to backstab and do whatever I need to. I will, happily, viciously even. A million dollars would do wonders for my lifestyle, so I'm willing to put it all on the line to win this game.

**Kolton Shallows** was a castaway on *Survivor: Nepal.*

**Current Residence:** San Francisco, CA

**Occupation:** IT Technician

**Tribe Designation:** Lhotse

**3 Words to Describe You:** Analytical, Confident, SUCCESSFUL!

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I skipped eighth grade because I was just that smart back in my school years, and yet I was still able to fit in with all the older kids. That's like one of those things I'm really proud of. I also graduated at the top 2% of my class in college. And now I'm receiving bonuses almost every month from my job. I guess you could say I'm quite above average, haha.

**Favorite Past Player:** Zebulon Grath was a great player, and I still cannot believe he got idoled out like that. He had that game down lock and that little Hispanic woman managed to get him out like that, it was sort of gross. He was a true fighter and he should come back ASAP!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I mean, I've been great at almost anything I've ever done. School, sports, relationships, I'm always the cream of the crop. I'm not crazy, I'm confident. I know my strengths (lots of them) and weaknesses (not really any!) and I'm going to succeed like I always do. What could go wrong? This game's mine for the losing.

**3 Words to Describe You:** Quirky, Queer, Qool

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I am a Twitch streamer, which means I play video games for bunches of people to watch me and I make movie off of it. My favorite games to play are Fortnite and Call of Duty. My nickname is The Gaymer because I'm, surprise, GAY! Hahaha, I know you would've never figured it out. I'm currently dating my boyfriend of three years, Mark, and I love him so much, almost as much as video games! Just kidding.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** My favorite past castaway just has to be Emerson Wilmot. He was such a cute tall twink, and he gets so much hate for a good game. Sorry y'all are salty he won, his strategy worked and I think he's cute as hell and played really well. If he was on my season, I'd definitely try to work with him.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** Survivor is one of my favorite shows, and I'm so excited to be able to come out here and play hard. I think I have great focus and patience, because playing video games gives you that, and I'm also a very naturally sociable and talkative person. Sometimes I rub people the wrong way, but you know, I'm here to have fun and play hard, and I think I can do pretty well.

**Why are you a Beauty?:** I live to dance, and the things I can do onstage are the purest creative expressions many say they’ve seen. That artistic beauty, coupled with my attractiveness, is why I’m most definitely a Beauty.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I’m extremely athletic but in a slight and deceptive frame. People won’t expect much from me, but I can act extremely well and that means I can lie well too. I have many skills that I can use to my advantage in this game.

Tunes are essential, so I’ve gotta have them on Survivor. And then probably my anxiety meds so I don’t go ballistic on the peeps out here. I am getting those, right?

**Why are you a Beauty?:** It’s definitely not my physical looks, I like to destroy my body as a way of rebellion, blah blah blah, I used to really be into that shit in my 20s, not so much now. I guess because I make pretty art on the dirty subway walls? Blegh.

**Current Residence:** Temecula, CA

**Occupation:** Filmmaker/Director

**Tribe Designation:** Beauty (Jamila)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Reserved, Empowering, Creative

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** I would bring a set of my favorite movies that inspired me to become a filmmaker along with a DVD player so I could watch them and my tribe could keep themselves entertained. I would also bring my favorite bottle of wine for a night of celebration after a good challenge win or successful blindside.

**Why are you a Beauty?:** Yeah, I get it, I’m not the prettiest woman on Earth. But I strive to make the most beautiful works of art in my films, and I seek to empower people and to help them accept their inner beauty just as I’ve accepted mine.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** To become a good filmmaker, you must know people well. You must know how they interact and how they respond to pressure and how they react, what their little gestures and expressions mean. These people skills will help me excel socially, and with a strong strategy in my pocket I’ll be able to go deep into this game.

## Stats

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

In episode 7, the votes tied 3-3 between Kaguya and Rodney, and then tied again 2-2. The tribe couldn't come to a unanimous decision, so they went to rocks. Since Kaguya was involved in the tie, she was immune from the rock draw.

In episode 14, the votes tied 2-2 between Kaguya and Ivonne. The two competed in a fire making tiebreaker. Kaguya won and advanced to the Final Tribal Council.
Elton Simmons

**Elton Simmons** was a castaway on *Survivor: The Moluccas*.

**Current Residence:** Cruz Bay, Virgin Islands

**Occupation:** Windsurfer

**Tribe Designation:** Tioor

Orphaned from birth in Malaysia, Elton was adopted when he was three months old by a wealthy British couple. He lived the first five years of his life in London, with frequent trips to the sea since his mother was a former Olympic swimmer. That was how Elton developed his love for water sports. When he turned 6, his family moved to the Virgin Islands, where they live in a mansion facing the ocean. There, Elton discovered his passion for the sport of windsurfing, quickly becoming one of the best on the Virgin Islands. His wealthy parents supported his ambitions, allowing him to pursue a career as a professional windsurfer while completing school online. Currently, Elton is semi-professional, trying his best to break big in windsurfing competitions around the world.

Describing himself as first and foremost "chill", Elton has the young adult aloofness down to a science, rarely seeming to care much about anything that isn't windsurfing, partying, or traveling abroad. This carelessness combined with his athleticism leads him to seem mysterious to his peers, and he is very popular around the islands. Elton shrugs this popularity off, saying "real recognizes real" and that anyone who has to try too hard should just stay at home. Most things come naturally to him, and spending time mastering something hard doesn't appeal to Elton. He struggles to work hard on things he doesn't "give a flying fuck about", leading some to see him as spoiled. However, Elton just insists he won't waste his precious time.

Elton was recruited to play Survivor after a viral incident at one of his windsurfing competitions where he had a nonchalant reaction to completing a stunning maneuver. He hasn't seen the show before and didn't bother to study up on it before coming out on the island, expecting his natural ease to help him glide through the competition. Not very concerned with either love of the game or the money, which his parents have plenty of, Elton is playing Survivor moreso for the experience, saying it seemed "cool." He doesn't have a set strategy, just planning to find the people he "vibes" with most and get rid of the rest.

Elton is currently single. He lives with his mother Laetitia (60) and father Edmond (63).
Freya McClain

**Freya McClain** was a castaway on *Survivor: Honduras - Fans vs. Favorites.*

**Current Residence:** Lebanon, NH

**Occupation:** Botanist

**Tribe Designation:**  Llegada (Fans)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Inquisitive, Natural, Patient

**3 Things You'd Bring on the Island:** I know it's going to be rough out there and we're going to want as much protein as we can get, but I am a vegan and I plan to stay that way on the island, so I'd bring some tofu, my favorite! I won't go on a vegan rant though, don't you worry, I'm not one of those. I would also bring sunscreen because I burn pretty easily and I would hate being a burnt crisp for my whole stay on the island! And thirdly, I'd bring my parakeet Thomasina because it would be comforting to have something or someone that understands me and is from home, even if it is just my little bird.

**Previous Castaway You're Most Like:** I think I am a lot like Rhodeia Black from last season, Corsica! She's not the most out there person either but she put herself into the game just like I am, and used her niceness to get far and overcame her fears. She also works in a biology field, so I think I'd love to meet her!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I'm not super athletic, and I was never a social butterfly who had lots of friends in high school and all of that. But I'm healthy enough, and I know how to work with other people and I think I'm pretty good at figuring out when people are lying. If I can use my loyalty and my ability to read people's honesty with me, I think I'll have a pretty good shot of doing well.

## Game

### *Survivor: Honduras - Fans vs. Favorites*

Freya was a key player on the Fans tribe, warming up to most of the tribe and being one of the founding members of the Fan majority alliance. She resisted Pia Chavez's moves that fractured the alliance, sometimes voting in the minority but staying in the good graces of the other Fans. After the swap, she was in a strong majority alliance of Fans on NuVuelta, and was the main force uniting all of them. Favorite Kit Prichard recognized this, and tried to get her out in hopes of fracturing the Fans. When Kit used her idol to save herself from a unanimous vote out, she pinned her vote on Freya and sent her packing.

Cass Ronald

**Cass Ronald** was a castaway on *Survivor: Kazakhstan*.

**Current Residence:** Geneva, Indiana

**Occupation:** High School Graduate

**Tribe Designation:** Jetyru

**Some Interesting Facts About You:** I just graduated from high school and I'm so excited to see where my life goes! I'm currently taking a break to find a job and save up some money before I go to school, but my plans are to get a job as an early education teacher. I'm from a really small town, and I grew up with a single mom, so things were pretty tough for a while, but they're getting better now. I recently realized I'm non-binary, and I've started using she/they pronouns, and I'm debating if I want to use fully they/them or not right now!

**Favorite Past Castaway:**  Gosh, Survivor is just my favorite show ever, and it's so hard to pick a favorite player because I love so many of them. There's so many legends of the social, physical, mental game, it's crazy. If I had to narrow it down to one person...I'd have to go with Kismet Skor. She's just my idol, with how well she manipulated everyone in *Nepal* without being gross. She's also a queer icon as well, and her ASMR is my guilty pleasure!

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I'm honestly incredibly nervous so I'm not sure how well I'll do! I'm like an encyclopedia of Survivor knowledge, and I know when I'm calm I can be a really nice person who gets along with most. I just hope I can reign in my anxiety, because I know my biggest obstacle is going to be keeping calm and not playing super hard. If I can manage that, I think I'll be a real threat.

### Voting History

 1
Joanne Vernon

**Joanne Vernon** was the co-runner up of *Survivor: Corsica.*

Joanne played a quiet game throughout *Corsica*, staying out of the limelight early on. She bonded closely with a few people on Anzianu, namely Karis Gatlin. After the swap, Joanne and Karis aligned with Ursie Hale and her alliance, and they stuck to that alliance after the merge. A few votes into the merge, Karis was blindsided out of the game. Joanne managed to recover, becoming closer than ever to Ursie and making herself look even weaker. Joanne survived to the end using this strategy. However, the jury viewed this strategy as weak and easy, and it earned her no votes as she became co-runner up alongside Kitty Willett while Ursie won the game unanimously.

## Bio

### *Corsica*

**Name (Age):** Joanne Vernon (51)

**Current Residence:** Murray, KY

**Occupation:** Bookkeeper

**Tribe Designation:** Older (Anzianu)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Reserved, Cautious, Sweet

**3 Things You'd Bring on the Island:** Firstly, I would bring this little pocket sized painting that my son Billy made for me when he was in 2nd grade for Mother's Day. He's in college now, but it just reminds me of my family and how much I love them. Secondly, I'd bring my journal so I can keep track of my thoughts and to vent my feelings during a frustrating day out there. Finally, I would bring my purse so I could store things inside. They do give us bags but they look itchy and uncomfortable, while my purse would make me feel at home!

**Thoughts on Your Age Group:** I have nothing against old or young people; we're all just people, so I don't see the issues people have with certain age groups! Sure, younger people can be too chatty or wild, and old people sometimes too cranky or tame, but judging people purely on age and grouping people together like that doesn't sit well with me! God says to love all people, so I would never judge a group just based on one characteristic.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** You know, I've never been the most outspoken person, nor the most competitive. However, Survivor is one of those shows I've watched for years, and it's always been something I've aspired to do. I never thought I could or would be able to compete, but here I am. I'm here to prove something to myself just as much as to everyone else. No matter how well I do, I'm going to be proud of myself!

Jinora Mar

**Jinora Mar** was a castaway on *Survivor: Seychelles*.

**Current Residence:** Ocean City, Maryland

**Occupation:** Yoga Instructor

**Tribe Designation:** Mahe

**3 Words to Describe You:** Bubbly, Athletic, Spontaneous

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** My parents both grew up in Lebanon, and immigrated here in their 20s, and had me and my siblings here in the United States to give us a better life. Because of that, I just try to do my best with everything that comes my way! I have had my crazy times though; I was a crazy partier in my early 20s, and dealt with alcoholism. However, yoga helped me find my center and recover, and whenever I get angry or loud I try to do yoga to calm myself! However, I still like to let my freak flag fly and be my own wild, unique self!

**Favorite Past Castaway:** My favorite past castaway, without any doubt in the world, is most definitely Kit Prichard. She's athletic as hell just like me, and she has a fiery personality and isn't afraid of what other people think of her. She plays hard and fast and is just someone it's so easy to root for, and I hope to play as passionately as her!

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I'm going to be the Sole Survivor because I *truly* see myself as the whole package. I mean, I'm crazily athletic, always have been and always will be. Then, I'm such a people person. People can get on my nerves of course, but I think I'll be able to show my bubbly personality and make really strong alliances. And then, I'd also like to think I'm smarter than most people, and I'll be able to outwit them too. I just feel it in my core that this game is mine!

## Trivia

* Every Tribal Council where Jinora was not immune, she received at least two votes.
* She is the first castaway to ever return to the game after being voted out in the series.
Marcus Teuscher

**Marcus Teuscher** was a castaway on *Survivor: Socotra.*

**Current Residence:** Reno, NV

**Occupation:** Waiter

**Tribe Designation:** Athnan

**3 Words to Describe You:** Ladie’s Man & Suave

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** My hair gel, gotta keep up the hair, the girls love it! Then I’d bring my cologne as well, can’t be smelling like a sack of gym socks, and then also a bed to snuggle with all the hotties in!

**Previous Survivor You’re Most Like:** I think I’m a lot like Nel, he was super flirty and so am I and he knew how to get into a girl’s heart, hot damn! And I grew up in Minnesota so I played lots of hockey, and he’s an NHL player so we share that passion.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** You know, people always talk about all these girls playing the flirt card, well I’m a guy and I’m going to play it! I’ll play all the flirty girls, I’ll play all the shy gamebots, hell, I’ll play all the middle aged housewives and retired old hags! The women are going to be charmed by me like they always are and I’ll coast to the finish, easy peasy.

Arthur Odion

**Arthur Odion** was a castaway on *Survivor: Socotra*.

**Current Residence:** Manhattan, NY

**Occupation:** LGBTQ Advocate

**Tribe Designation:** Athnan

**3 Words to Describe You:** Caring, Level-headed, Protective

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** I would bring something to play music off of, music really invigorates people and that would help keep spirits up at my tribe! I’d also bring some Diet Coke, it’s my favorite drink and it’ll be an ordeal going 39 days without it in all honesty. Also a good, long book to enjoy; my husband has taught me the value of a good book, and I love him for that.

**Previous Survivor You’re Most Like:** I think I’m pretty similar to Tae Min, we’re both calm and smart guys who plan to play mostly social games to get us far, and I know I’ll be able to make it to the end just like him!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** In my job, I help people of all ages, races, and creeds with their struggles with their sexualities. It’s taught me how to empathize very well, and how to take care of people. I’ll make those around me feel needed and feel comfortable around me, and employing such a social game will help me fly under the radar to the end!
