Liris Chapman

**Liris Chapman** was the Sole Survivor of *Survivor: Canary Islands - Blood vs. Water.*

## Bio

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

**Name (Age):** Liris Chapman (34)

**Current Residence:** Ventura, CA

**Occupation:** Plus-Size Model

**Tribe Designation:** Sangre

**Loved One:** Roderick (Brother)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Determined, Effective, Affable

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** Hmm...I’d bring food, water, and clothes and give it mostly to the rest of my tribe. The name of the game is to please people, and that’s what I’m here to do honey! I don’t care if my big booty’s gotta starve for 39 days, as long as everyone else feels good and, more importantly, feels good about me.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I’ve been through a tough life. My dream was always to model, but I was “too big”. I showed them. I was a pioneer in the plus size modeling field, and I plan to expand the business further. I was bullied and made fun of for my dreams, but I grew a thick skin, put on a sassy smile, and hustled my way to the top. I know how to make people feelin’ good, and that’s going to help me win this game.

## Game

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

Liris was a strategic force throughout her whole season. On original Sangre, she took up the post as the villainous Vince Bourbon's right hand woman and assembled his numbers for him, keeping their alliance together. On original Sangre, she bonded closely with Brenna Jernigan and Soo Jung Kim. Then, on new Riada, she made a majority alliance with her allies from Sangre and their loved ones, including her brother Roderick Chapman. This majority alliance continued to dominate after the merge after Liris took out her once ally Vince at the merge vote, cementing herself as a power player. As the numbers thinned, Liris stood out as a prime target, especially after her brother Roderick was blindsided out of the game at the hands of her once ally Soo Jung. However, Liris fired right back she used her persuasiveness to take out Soo Jung. At the Final 6, Liris then used the idol she'd found on the merged beach to save herself, sending Yara Petrov to the jury. At the Final 5, Liris convinced Soo Jung's husband, Tae Min Kim, to rejoin her and Brenna to take out the strategic Edgar Thorpe and the underdog Pasqual Vargas. She made it to Final Tribal Council where she won in a 5-2-1 vote over Tae Min and Brenna. She earned votes from Roderick for their bond, from Vince for respect of being outplayed, and from Yara, Edgar, and Araxie Garrett for her strong overall game.

Hwara Umaru

**Hwara Umaru** was a castaway on *Survivor: Guadeloupe*.

**Current Residence:** Sun Valley, Nevada

**Occupation:** Film Historian

**Tribe Designation:** Desirade

Born in Kano, Nigeria, Hwara grew up the only child of a single mother. Her mother worked as a maid to make ends meet, but she dreamed of one day becoming an actress. Because of this, Hwara's childhood was full of movies, as her mother made her watch them with her, and Hwara fell in love with them. She excelled in school, and on a foreign exchange semester in the United States, she lived with a wealthy family that decided to sponsor her education. Thus, Hwara was able to attend college in the US, earning her bachelor's and master's in media studies. She struggled to find work after recently finishing her master's, turning to waitressing for income. While searching for work however, Hwara began posting videos about world film history on YouTube, and they became popular. She currently has 500k+ subscribers, and she treats the channel as her primary source of income.

While Hwara has always been bright and friendly, she is also an introvert who prefers to spend a lot of time on her own, watching films and studying history. Therefore, she has a tendency to be quiet, to be mainly a listener while others around her are louder and more active. Despite this, Hwara is confident in herself, comfortable with her quieter personality, knowing it will not hinder her in the game. She worries about her social battery becoming depleted in such harsh conditions, but knows she is resilient and will be able to put aside her comfort for love of the game.

*Survivor* was one of the shows Hwara studied while getting her master's in media studies, so she has always been passionate about the show ever since writing a term paper on it several years ago. This love for the game plus her obsession with media itself means Hwara could not resist the opportunity to play after casting directors reached out to her when they saw a video essay about woman of color in the game on her channel. Hwara plans to be her proudly Nigerian asexual self, knowing representation for people like her is slim to none in American media. Hwara plans to play the game like a snake in the grass, knowing her friendly yet quiet personality will allow her to fade into the background. She hopes this strategy will not backfire on her, thinking she can outwit her competition once they have all begun to underestimate her later in the game.

Hwara lives with her life partner Kainene (27).

Hanako Shoji

**Hanako Shoji** was a castaway on *Survivor: Guadeloupe*.

**Current Residence:** Honolulu, Hawaii

**Occupation:** Calligrapher

**Tribe Designation:** Desirade

Born in a rural area of Japan in the late 1940s, Hanako has seen the world rapidly change throughout her lengthy, experienced lifetime. The oldest of seven children, she has always been someone willing to shoulder much responsibility. She was a linguistic prodigy from an early age, able to speak six languages by the time she was twelve years old. This talent allowed her to escape her early life on the farm, allowing her to attend college in Tokyo, and later in the United Kingdom and France, eventually obtaining her PhD in linguistics. After getting her doctorate, Hanako tought at universities all over the world, studying indigenous languages in Southeastern Asia that were beginning to die out.

After lecturing for over forty years, she has retired to Hawaii with her wife in order to relax after a lifetime of travel and adventure. While she has a serious and disciplined attitude towards life, Hanako has always been ruled by her overwhelming curiosity and desire to experience new things. She is a very open-minded person with strong will-power, and she is very much a workaholic. While she has been trying to settle into the quiet life, working as a calligrapher of the Japanese and Chinese languages on the side, she has been unable to bridle her relentless desire to experience more.

This need for adventure is what is leading Hanako to compete on *Survivor*, becoming the oldest castaway to ever play at the age of seventy five. She disregards her age, gender, or sexuality as limitations to her in the game, wanting to prove that she is a force to be reckoned with no matter how old she gets. Hanako plans to play the game fluidly, going in with no set strategy, knowing you can never predict how the game will go. She has kept in surprisingly good shape through a lifetime of healthy dieting and daily yoga. Thus, Hanako believes she will be able to hold her own in challenges despite her age. She knows her decades of experience traveling the world and meeting all types of people will allow her to be a formidable social player. She also knows she has a great deal of wisdom on her side that the younger players will lack.

Hanako lives with her wife Ophelie (68). They have one adopted son, Ren (34) who resides in Japan.
Outlast: Sumatra

***Outlast: Sumatra*** is the first season in Su's Outlast series.

After *Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains*, the network shut down the Survivor series, as casting had run dry and its popularity was beginning to wane. However, after a year of no Survivor, demand for the series began to rebound. The decision was made to do a test run of a similar series on the network. Deciding to rebrand the series as Outlast, a new season began, focused more tightly on the survival and social elements of the game, with all the twists and crazy personalities erased and more normal people being cast. With a smaller cast and a prize of $1.5 million to up the stakes, fourteen brand-new everyday Americans have been selected to compete against one another to see who will become the very first Outlaster.

## Twists

* **No Swaps:** This season, there will be no swaps; the survivors will remain in their tribes until the merge.
* **No Advantages:** This season, there is nowhere to hide, as all idols and advantages have been removed from the game, causing the game to be more about strategy and social politics.
* **Harsh Conditions:** Unlike many of the later *Survivor* seasons where survival was not emphasized, in this series, there will be a much greater focus on survival, making it much tougher for the survivors to get through the game as they have to battle the harsh elements around them.
* **Larger Cash Prize:** The prize has been upped from the typical million dollars in a *Survivor* season to $1.5 million in order to incentivize harder work and harder gameplay throughout the season.
Char Glover

**Char Glover** was a castaway on *Survivor: Socotra.*

**Current Residence:** Los Angeles, CA

**Occupation:** Fashion Designer

**Tribe Designation:** Wahid

**3 Words to Describe You:** Positive, Creative, Awesome

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** You would think I’d say some drawing stuff to sketch designs, but no! Project Runway, which I competed on twice, made sketching almost stressful, haha! I’d bring stuff to keep me comfy, like slippers or iced tea or a sleeping bag, I don’t know.

**Previous Survivor You’re Most Like:** I love Liris, and I think we’re sort of similar although she’s probably more cutthroat than I am. I’m more like Liris mixed in with...Tianna maybe?

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** Project Runway was a crazy experience that helped me learn to cope with sleep deprivation, failure, and everything else that reality TV has to offer! While we weren’t starving on an island I went through the mental fatigue, so I think that’ll help me out on the island. I’m friendly and cheery and I’m here to win, so I think that drive will help me make it to the Final Tribal Council!

Lorraine Campo

**Lorraine Campo** was a castaway on *Survivor: Ecuador*.

**Current Residence:** Salem, Oregon

**Occupation:** Medical Assistant

**Tribe Designation:** Charca

**3 Words to Describe You:** Caring, Patient, Spiritual

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I got married when I was only 18 years old to my high school sweetheart, David, and we are still married 41 years later. He's a gift to me! David sadly isn't able to have biological children, but we adopted twin boys from Somalia and named them Jack and John, and they are both now in college. I also am a very spiritual woman; I'm a proud Catholic and I hope that everyone will respect my religion on the island.

**Favorite Past Player:** This is definitely an odd choice for some people! But my favorite was without a doubt Joanne Vernon from *Corsica*! I just could relate to her a lot. She was kind, religious, and older, and struggled to cope with playing the game hard. I know I'll be dealing with similar things out there so I hope to play a better version of Joanne's game so I can actually win!

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I believe that with God's guidance anything is possible, and I have my lovely family rooting for me back at home. I'm willing to lie or cheat a little if I have to to win this game, even though I won't feel great about it. Just because I love Jesus doesn't mean I can't play this game with all my might, and show that I'm made of a lot more than most people believe.

## Voting History

### *Survivor: Ecuador*

Lorraine began the game in *Ecuador* as possibly the weakest member of Charca in challenges. However, she made up for it with her social game, getting in people's good graces and making a ride or die alliance with Lauwanda Olivero. In order to save herself, she threw Arpit Gupta under the bus for his rude behavior to the rest of the tribe. Arpit overheard, and the two had a fight that ended in tears for Lorraine. At Charca's first Tribal, most of the tribe decided to keep her over the volatile Arpit. Feeling on the bottom, Lorraine and Lauwanda eventually made an alliance with former enemies Orlia Jacobsen and Peter Geiger. After Erron Latif blew the puzzle at their last Immuntiy Challenge, Lorraine's alliance tried to get captain Kinti Faith to vote him out with them, but Kinti did not, voting with her alliance to eliminate Lorraine for her cunning and weakness.

## Trivia

* Lorraine received only one vote from every member of Charca except Lauwanda Olivero.
Ronan Browbaum

**Ronan Browbaum** was a castaway on *Survivor: India - Blood vs. Water*.

**Current Residence:** Tulsa, Oklahoma

**Occupation:** Exotic Animal Handler

**Tribe Designation:** Taaza

**Loved One:** Carry (Girlfriend)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Outspoken, Fearless, Nature-lover

**About Your Loved One:** Carry and I met a couple of years after *Swaziland*; I'd never seen the show before and honestly wasn't looking for anything serious. However, after our first date, she couldn't find a way home so I had to take her home in my big van where I keep the exotic animals for my showcases, and my python Caliber fell in love with her, so I knew she was a keeper. We sometimes have a rocky relationship because we both have loud, bossy personalities, but man, she's beautiful and intelligent and we're working on our issues together. There's no other babe on this planet I'd rather go to war with.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I think that Dev Squires is probably my favorite. Once I got with Carry, we binged the whole series together, and he was someone who always stuck out to me. He wasn't the fastest or strongest or friendliest, but he was wicked smart and he always spoke his mind, and people followed him. He's just an incredible player and I think that it's impressive how good he is at controlling people without biting his tongue, because that's something I struggle with a ton in my personal life.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I will be the next Sole Survivor because I want to be. Going in with a defeatist attitude is a terrible idea in a game like this. If you don't think you can win, why are you even trying? Carry and I are coming out here with the goal of making a million dollars one way or another in order to prepare for a potential future together since neither of us makes much money. I think I'm physically fit and more than mentally ready to take this game by the horns, and I'm not going to rest until the win is mine or Carry's.
Anthoni Hernandez

**Anthoni Hernandez** was a castaway on *Survivor: Socotra.*

**Current Residence:** Broken Arrow, OK

**Occupation:** Firefighter

**Tribe Designation:** Athnan

**3 Words to Describe You:** Courageous, Adventurous, Comical

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** I’d bring the station’s pet dog, Collie, the guys joke that she’s my real wife. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since we were 19 but I love that dog so much I can see why they say that! I’d also bring a phone to keep in touch with Clementine my wife, she’s just a superstar, and then I’d bring a photo album of my childhood so I have some conversation starters with people and so I can have some form of connection to my whole family and friend group.

**Previous Survivor You’re Most Like:** I’d say I’m pretty similar to Roderick from Canary Islands, we’re both tough strong guys who love to run and crave that adrenaline rush. I plan to fly a little more under the radar than him though, not reveal my full skills.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** Being a fireman is a stressful job that teaches you a lot about yourself and others. I can tell when someone has my back and when someone doesn’t, and I also know how to keep a level head in crazy situations. Those skills will help me succeed socially and strategically. Then I’m going to try and keep my physicality under wraps so I don’t get targeted for it, and then go out swinging at the last few Immunities to ensure I make it to the end.

Bethel Cherith

**Bethel Cherith** was a castaway on *Survivor: Laos - Anarchy.*

**Current Residence:** Tacoma, WA

**Occupation:** Marathoner

**Tribe Designation:** None (Anarchy)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Hard-working, Focused, Friendly

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I ran my first marathon when I was 19 years old, one of my college friends on my Cross Country team suggested we try it over the summer. Since then I've run over fifty! Insane, right? It's my favorite race, the true test of a human being is running 26.2 miles in my opinion. I also am the only girl in my family, with a single dad and four brothers. So I know how to deal with guys!

**Strategy, Social, or Physical?:** Hmm, this one's a little tough because you need every one of these qualities to succeed in this game. I will go with strategic because I think that's the closest to mental toughness, which is what you need most in this game. You need to have the mental power to stay focused and charge through this game without everything getting to you. I guess that could be social as well.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** Look, I figured out after running dozens of marathons, that you can do whatever you put your mind to! While it may not always happen exactly how you want it, it will happen in some form. I already beat thousands of applicants to make it here, and I'm not going to squander this opportunity. I know how to keep focus and how to deal with people, so I think my mental toughness and physical endurance is really going to keep me ahead of the others.

Odelia Firth

**Odelia Firth** was a castaway on *Survivor: Namibia.*

**Current Residence:** Chicago, IL

**Occupation:** Multi-Media Artist

**Tribe Designation:** Ovambo

**3 Words to Describe You:** Artistic, Enigmatic, Anti-Philistine

**Favorite Past Castaway:** Pasqual Vargas always presented himself as quite the artistic castaway, while supplying adequate entertainment, intelligence, and handsomeness. He has always been one of my favorite competitors on the show, and I will admit I was quite disappointed when he was eliminated in the early merge in *Honduras*.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I may just seem like a much too educated woman, but in fact my education has heightened my understanding of the world around me. In my art, I express my feelings, and through my soul searching, I have learned to truly understand humans. I can win this game, only if the other competitors can truly understand me in return.

## Voting History

### *Survivor: Namibia*

An early outlier on the Ovambo tribe, Odelia was clearly the physically weakest member of her tribe, and her esoteric musings and high level vocabulary led her to struggle to bond with many members of her tribe. However, she was able to establish an alliance with fellow nerds Dorian Gelletier and Steff Morgensen early on. Despite Ovambo's dominance in challenges, they eventually lost, and Odelia's alliance attempted to vote out the offensive and scheming Kooper Longland after he fought with Steff earlier in the day. However, the rest of the tribe deemed Odelia's challenge weakness and awkwardness too damaging to the tribe, and voted her out in a close 4-3-1 vote.

Enoli Freeman

**Enoli Freeman** was a castaway on *Survivor: Rome - The Underworld*.

**Current Residence:** Cherokee, North Carolina

**Occupation:** Historian

**Tribe Designation:** Proserpina

**3 Words to Describe You:** Calm, Informative, Welcoming

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I'm the first Native American to compete on this series, which is a very large honor; I am a member of the Cherokee Nation, and I live on sovereign ground in North Carolina. I am descended from one of the 800 members of our tribe who refused to be moved from our homes on the Trail of Tears and assimilated into United States culture. However, I have the job of historian, meaning that I am in charge of keeping out past alive for anyone who lives in Cherokee or comes to visit us. I also have a loving wife, Charlene, and seven children that I love with my whole heart.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I would say that my choice would be Nichole Tarquin from *Fans vs. Favorites*. Nichole played a stellar game; she was older and wasn't in the best physical shape like myself, but she avoided getting a single vote all game and helped control the flow of the game. The only reason she lost was because of a botched Final Tribal and going up against one of the biggest underdogs in the series of the show. I feel we are both level-headed and I hope that I will be as successful as her strategically.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** Throughout my life, I have not done much for myself, I have always done things for my fellow Cherokee or for my family. And this is for all of them too, but it is also for me. This is my grand adventure; I have 50 years of life to look back on, and I've met all types of people and I have all types of stories. I believe I can work a strong social game and work a behind the scenes strategic game to carry me deep into this game. This money could do wonders for my family, so I will be willing to break my usually strict morality in order to do so.
Mira Ramasamy

**Mira Ramasamy** was a castaway on *Survivor: Socotra.*

**Current Residence:** Jerome, AZ

**Occupation:** Tour Guide

**Tribe Designation:** Thlath

**3 Words to Describe You:** Traveller, Wild, Optimistic

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** I wouldn’t bring anything. I’m here to win, sure, but I’m also here for the full Survivor experience. I want to feel the starvation and the joy at getting a food reward, etc. I wouldn’t bring anything because I want to go through everything this game has to offer!

**Previous Survivor You’re Most Like:** I think I’m a lot like Kit Prichard or Araxie Garrett, free spirits like me, but I’m a little softer and less...intense? So maybe cross them with Tianna, and you get me!

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I’m going to downplay my physicality and other abilities, I’m just going to be the wily free spirit who makes friends with everyone and floats along at first. Once I’m deep enough into the game, I’m going to strike and start showing my claws. It’ll be too late to stop me and I’ll destroy the competition!

Seth Alcaldo

**Seth Alcaldo** was a castaway on *Survivor: Corsica.*

**Current Residence:** Texarkana, TX

**Occupation:** Horse Jockey

**Tribe Designation:** Older (Anzianu)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Strong, Joking, Small

**3 Things You'd Bring on the Island:** This is embarrassing...but my English is not always so good, so I bring a English to Spanish dictionary so if a person uses bigger words I can understand. Then I bring along my wife Consuela because she makes better food than any woman you find in Texas, and because I love her and she support me. Ah, and a radio for music!

**Thoughts on Your Age Group:** 41 is old? Haha! In some of world, yes, but not in America! It is not...offensive to me, but I am not old! Haha! Older people are the smartest people on Earth, so we respect them. I think I am more like younger people but that's just me.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I love my job and it pays okay, but I am here for my family. I have six kids, a wife, and my mother to pay for, so I need every money I can get. This game is a big adventure but I want the money more than the adventure. I need it, so I do anything I can to get it!

Dustin Lee

**Dustin Lee** was a castaway on *Survivor: Nepal.*

**Current Residence:** Dorrance, KS

**Occupation:** Farmer

**Tribe Designation:** Annapurna

**3 Words to Describe You:** Tough, Hard-working, Loyal

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I own my own farm with my two brothers, Davie and Dalton, that we inherited from my father after he passed three years ago. We work together to maintain it day in and day out, and we also have some people working the land for us too. I'm also newly married to my wonderful wife, Elise, and I'm excited to bring back a million dollars to her.

**Favorite Past Player:** My favorite past player definitely has to be Army Calorio. He's a hard-working, strong ass man that could handle almost anything that flew at him during the game, and was a challenge beast. He maintained some level of integrity in the game while still playing mighty fine and getting rather close to the finish, and I aspire to have a game like his.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** You know, I may be a farmer, but it's not like I'm some farmer from the colonial era who toils over the soil with no education. I went to college and I have a degree in agriculture, so I'm not dumb. I'm also a pretty charismatic, sociable guy, but not so much that it'll come off as threatening. And of course, I'm strong, I was captain of my high school varsity football team and played in college. All of these things are going to help me become the next Sole Survivor.

## Voting History

### *Survivor: Nepal*

In episodes 7 and 8, Bernardo Calderon and Kismet Skor respectively used their extra vote from the Prayer Wheel to vote against Dustin twice.
Clark Young

**Clark Young** was a castaway on *Survivor: Seychelles*.

**Current Residence:** Yonkers, New York

**Occupation:** Paralegal

**Tribe Designation:** Praslin

**3 Words to Describe You:** Calm, Smart, Friendly

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I come from a long line of paralegals! It might be surprising, and a lot of people ask me why I just don't go all the way and become an attorney, but it's something my family's always done and I oddly enough enjoy being out of the spotlight with everything. I actually originally wanted to be a doctor though, but I dropped out of pre-med to follow in my parents' footsteps and become a paralegal. And then, besides my job, I'm currently single but I have a chocolate lab named Buddy who's my best friend!

**Favorite Past Castaway:** My favorite past castaway definitely has to be Nick Wilkins. He always just does so well on Survivor, and I feel like I can really relate to his personality as someone who's sort of chill and gets along with everyone, but is also always thinking and can do more than people expect. I really hope to play a game that's anything like his.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I feel like I will be the Sole Survivor because I am really good at keeping my composure, which is important in such a stressful and intense game like Survivor. I also have good knowledge of the game, and I feel like I'm a pretty friendly person, and I don't skip out on the gym either. So I feel like I have a good skillset to take this game head on, and do well!
Priya Watson

**Priya Watson** was a castaway on *Survivor: Seychelles*.

**Current Residence:** Macon, Georgia

**Occupation:** Hairstylist

**Tribe Designation:** Mahe

**3 Words to Describe You:** Determined, Candid, Playful

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** My grandparents on both sides were born in India, and they immigrated here around the same time to raise my parents. I go back to India to visit my extended family that still lives there almost every year when I can find the time to go. I'm the first person in my family to marry someone who isn't Indian, but I think it's important to not stick to such strict racial barriers. I met my husband Greg at my salon about ten years ago, and now we have a little girl, Anaya, together.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** My favorite past castaway has to be Kinti Faith. I find her spirit and her joy and her personality to be so fun and she seems like someone I'd be best friends with in real life. She also hustled so hard in both of her seasons, and made herself into a legend, which is something I aspire to do this season, even if I'm not an athlete like her.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I think that I can be the Sole Survivor because I have a cheerful, fun personality and I get along easily with other people. I'm not afraid to make strong connections with people or be honest when I have to be. I'm also focused on winning this money, and proving that I can be a strong player. I think with my determination, I'll be able to overcome my disadvantages in the game and push all the way to Final Tribal Council.

## Trivia

* Priya has never received more than a single vote at Tribal Council.
* Every time that she was eligible to vote and received a vote, she voted for the person who voted for her.
Clair Wilmot

**Clair Wilmot** was a castaway on *Survivor: India - Blood vs. Water*.

**Current Residence:** Milford, Connecticut

**Occupation:** Statistician

**Tribe Designation:** Taaza

**Loved One:** Emerson (Husband)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Introverted, Intellectual, Analytical

**About Your Loved One:** Emerson and I met just after he had broken off his engagement with his old fiancee and my father had passed away. We were both in very vulnerable positions, but as friends we helped each other to recover from our grief, and soon after our friendship quickly turned romantic. We got married a little less than six months ago, and our marriage has been splendid so far. This is like our delayed honeymoon, and even though I'm a bit nervous about it all I'm happy to do this with him.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I'd have to say that Zebulon Grath is my favorite past castaway besides Emerson. Emerson is still close with all of his buddies from *Laos*, and they all come over our house every month or so. And Zeb's the one that's always nicest to me and brings my favorite chardonnay, so I'd have to go with him, although Donald, Army, and Jeffrey are all amazing guys too. Also, as a superfan, I believe Zebulon also played the best game on *Laos*, and Emerson has learned to understand that! *(giggles)*

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I'm very nervous to come out here. I've always loved this show, and I've been a massive superfan since day one. I remember reading blogs about *Swaziland* when I was in high school. However, I'm also not a very social person, and I'm incredibly scared of all the tough athletes and social butterflies on the island. However, I know that I know this game incredibly well, and hopefully my strategic abilities will help me manuever even if I think I'm pretty lacking socially or physically.
Qianfan Chen-Black

**Qianfan Chen-Black** was a castaway on *Survivor: Guadeloupe*.

**Current Residence:** Paterson, New Jersey

**Occupation:** Fabric Designer

**Tribe Designation:** Desirade

The youngest child of Chinese immigrant parents living in San Francisco, Qianfan felt the pressure to pursue a traditional career from an early age. Both of their older siblings wanted to be doctors from a young age, but Qianfan immediately rejected this notion, always being very interested in fashion from an early age. They would often put on fashion shows for themself in the house, much to their family's amusement. After high school, Qianfan came out as gay and non-binary, and while their parents are still learning to accept them, their relationship is improving. Qianfan went to fashion school in New York City, getting a job at a prestigious firm designing new fabrics soon after graduation. Qianfan is quickly climbing the ranks in their company, and they just recently married their long-term boyfriend in a fancy ceremony.

Qianfan is not the type of person to back down from a challenge, wanting to prove to the world that they are someone that can do anything they put their mind to. Bullied as a child for being effeminate and artsy, Qianfan has always been driven to prove people that doubted thm wrong. They are goal-oriented and unrelenting, willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish their goals. They are not a very naturally friendly person, often coming off as cold or harsh to people when they first meet them. However, Qianfan has a great dry sense of humor, and they are extremely protective of those they care about, even if that group may be small.

Qianfan was introduced to *Survivor* by their husband's superfan family, and they studied up on the show to impress their husband's family the first time they met for a watch party. Ever since, they have fallen in love with the show as much as their husband's family, becoming obsessed with the strategic element of the show. Qianfan hopes to go out onto the island and play a masterful strategic game, believing they have the know-how after climbing the corporate ladder in the cutthroat fashion world at such a young age. They will not shy away from making dirty plays, wanting to do whatever they can to ensure they emerge from the game as the Sole Survivor. They have been practicing their fake smiles in the mirror, hoping to remove their case of RBF and play a strong enough social game to be able to run the game.

Qianfan lives with their husband Simeon (38).

Rylee Huffman

**Rylee Huffman** was a castaway on *Survivor: Seychelles*.

**Current Residence:** Minneapolis, Minnesota

**Occupation:** Student

**Tribe Designation:** Digue

**3 Words to Describe You:** Sweet, Independent, Creative

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I'm currently a student at the University of Minneapolis in Minnesota! I'm from a tiny town in the middle of nowhere Montana, so getting to come to a big city like Minneapolis was definitely a culture shock. I'm currently studying to become a nurse, but I might change my mind on the profession, I'm just doing it because it's a good job and my mom was a nurse too. I'm also an avid soccer player; I don't play for my college, but I played varsity all through high school, and I play on an intramural team at home.

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I'd have to go with Cerise Slade, I just think especially in her first season, *Socotra*, she was a powerhouse and it was really relatable to see her fighting to just fall short. I think she's just an awesome person and player, and I want to play a version of her game that's slightly more under-the-radar.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I think I have what it takes to be the Sole Survivor because I have a lot of passion for this game, and I think I can do really well. People might think my age is a weakness, but I think it's a strength. People will think I'm dumb and underestimate me, but I have a lot of energy to prove myself and I think that with that plus my athleticism and intelligence I can really be a force to be reckoned with this season.
Cindy Lawrence

**Cindy Lawrence** is the winner of Big Brother 2.

**Occupation:** Driving Instructor

**3 Adjectives to Describe You:** Calm, Focused, Observant

**What Are Your Favorite Activities?:** Hiking with my son Alexander, we do it every weekend. I also enjoy drinking coffee, going on road trips, and completing crosswords with my husband Mike.

**What Will Be the Most Difficult Part of Living in the House?:** I will have to say the drama and the paranoia. I live a relatively quiet, calm life back at home, and I haven't dealt with drama since I graduated from high school years and years ago. So dealing with all the loud, young personalities is definitely going to be the most challenging part for me.

**Do You Have A Strategy?:** I've always been a bit of a tomboy. My strategy is to find a group of strong guys and work with them. They'll be able to win the challenges I can't and will be bigger targets than me. And once they all get depleted, I'll use my old lady skills to try and stay under the radar while winning some comps to get me to the end!

Licia Wilson

**Licia Wilson** was a castaway on *Survivor: Guadeloupe*.

**Current Residence:** Fort Collins, Colorado

**Occupation:** Geology Student

**Tribe Designation:** Galante

Born into a middle class family living in the Bronx, Licia grew up in an extremely urban environment. While she had a nice home life, she quickly grew to resent city life, longing to move out of the crowded urban sprawl of NYC. Her favorite memories of her childhood would be when she would visit her great aunt who lived in Nevada, and they would travel to go see all the different mountains and rock formations in the Southwest. Enchanted with rocks since an early age, after graduating high school Licia decided to pursue a career in geology. She is currently working on her bachelor's degree at Colorado State.

While scientists are usually thought of as nerdy and awkward people, Licia is far from this stereotype. The life of the party, Licia is the type of girl who brightens the room whenever she enters it. Very popular throughout her years at school and now one of the heads of her sorority in college, Licia has always been very good at creating social relationships and having fun. She is working on owning her intelligence however, having played dumb for many years to come off as easier to get along with. Gaining confidence in her own intellect and her "nerdy" interests, which include *Survivor*, is important to Licia so she can become a well-rounded adult.

Licia's story of coming onto *Survivor* begins with her father, whose family friend works as a crew member on the show. While Licia has never really watched *Survivor* before, her father's friend thought she would be a perfect fit for the show, and Licia agreed to give it a try. Having meticulously studied up on the game since being casted, Licia believes she can go into the game playing up her dumb sorority girl shtick while secretly being a very manipulative and strategic player. She knows she will be able to hold her own in challenges, swimming competitively most of her life, while also planning to be a social powerhouse. She is excited for the adventure of a lifetime, knowing the million dollars could help her pay off college debt and fund her way to a PhD.

Licia is currently single. She lives with her roommates Flora (21), Sloane (20), and Luna (20).

Mellissa Podridge

**Mellissa Podridge** was a castaway on *Survivor: Namibia.*

**Current Residence:** Carmel, IN

**Occupation:** Biochemist

**Tribe Designation:**  Khoekhoe

**3 Words to Describe You:** Witty, Curious, Analytical

**Favorite Past Castaway:** I'd definitely have to say that Soo Jung Kim is my favorite player of all time. She's definitely overshadowed by her husband a lot of the time, but I still think she played a fantastic, underrated game, and she should really come back at some point. She really deserves a second shot, and I want to play a strategic game just like hers!

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** Honestly, I don't find it hard to strategize or get along with people. I'm popular in the lab and I've never struggled in school. I think the fact that I'm a fast thinker, and that I can fit in with many different crowds, will help me in this game. I want to be as adaptable as possible to make sure I can become the Sole Survivor.

## Voting History

### *Survivor: Namibia*

Mellissa immediately meshed well with her tribe, being a top performer in puzzles and helping her tribe immensely. She formed a strong bond with Morty Villegas that would last throughout the pre-merge. The two acted as swing votes for the first two Tribal Councils, where they swung between two alliances before settling into a strong alliance with Zak Kallister and Shannen Smeltzer. This majority seemed like it would hold strong up till the merge, but at the last round before the merge, Morty and Mellissa talked to the last minority member, Lewis Chang, about working together at the merge. When Khoekhoe lost Immunity, Lewis spilled the beans about that conversation to Zak and Shannen. Feeling betrayed, the two men flipped on Morty and Mellissa and voted out Mellissa for being a strategic threat at the merge.

Enrique Salazar

**Enrique Salazar** was the second runner-up of *Survivor: Ecuador*.

**Current Residence:** Flint, Michigan

**Occupation:** Mechanic

**Tribe Designation:** Cuevita

**3 Words to Describe You:** Hard-working, Calm, Fair

**3 Interesting Facts About You:** I served in the Vietnam War, so I am a proud veteran that served our beautiful country. Everyday is Veteran’s Day in my books, and so many gave more than I ever did. I have a beautiful wife of 40 years, Valerie, as well as six sons and daughters that are having children of their own. I also own an old Harley that is my pride and joy. It’s my only splurge, keeping that motorcycle in pristine condition.

**Favorite Past Player:** I’ll have to go with Tae Min Kim. In all three of his seasons, he played the game so hard, and it’s amazing to me that he’s never won. He’s wicked smart, funny when he wants to be, and he’s also physically able for a guy that isn’t super young. Overall, he’s a legendary player and if he ever comes back for a fourth try I’ll be rooting for him.

**Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?:** I think I will be the Sole Survivor because I have so much life experience compared to a lot of these castaways. Age doesn’t have to be a weakness. I have wisdom and I know how to deal with all types of people, even if my body isn’t in tip top shape. Those things will help me assimilate into the tribe and win this game.

## Trivia

* Enrique was the first second runner-up to have to break a tie at the Final Tribal Council.
	+ He was also the first 11th juror in the history of the series.
* Enrique holds the record for most votes earned by a second runner-up with 2, shared with Ivonne Chimwell.
Brandt Donegal

**Brandt Donegal** was a castaway on *Survivor: Canary Islands - Blood vs. Water* and *Survivor: Socotra.*

## Bio

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

**Name (Age):** Brandt Donegal (26)

**Current Residence:** St Louis, MO

**Occupation:** Computer Engineer

**Tribe Designation:** Sangre

**Loved One:** Araxie (Girlfriend)

**3 Words to Describe You:** Intellectual, Bold, Adaptable

**3 Things You’d Bring on the Island:** A pencil and paper to help me sketch out ideas for strategies and such, those would be a real life saver. Also a computer, some good old fashioned video games and coding will just help me unwind during the more stressful or boring parts of the game.

**Why are you the next Sole Survivor?:** I’m smart and fierce as hell, and I’m not afraid to let people know it. I’m here to play and to play hard, and no one knows this game as well as me. I’m going to cream these players and they won’t even see it coming.

### *Survivor: Socotra*

**Name (Age):** Brandt Donegal (26)

**Previous Season/Finish:** Canary Islands, 16th

**Tribe Designation:** Thlath

**Favorite Past Moment:** Provoking Vince so much that he tried to punch me and nearly got ejected from the game

**Biggest Regret:** Not working harder to flip Brenna, if we’d gotten her, Edgar would’ve happily voted with us and Vince would’ve gone. The whole game would’ve changed.

**Previous Player you Respect the Most**: My man Pasqual, he was on the bottom after I got voted out but fought all the way to 4th place, he did splendidly.

**Previous Player you Respect the Least:** Vince Bourbon, if I ever have to speak to him again I may vomit.

**Why you’re back:** I didn’t get to show off my full skills because I got trapped in a battle for power with Vince. I would’ve been an effective leader however, and I’m here to prove that I can lead and that I can last deep into the game this go around. I’m the captain of my tribe and I’m going to lead it with everything I’ve got.
