Daisy Richardson

**Daisy Richardson** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2019) and *Australian Survivor: All Stars*.

Known for her bond with Shaun Hampson, Daisy started off strong on the Contenders tribe. However, after the swap, Daisy flipped on the original Contenders, and spearheaded Sam Schoers's blindside, choosing to align with David Genat. After reaching merge, Daisy's several idol misplays caused others to label her as "emotional", causing them to be wary of working with her. This proved to be her downfall, as she was blindsided and sent to Exile Beach, where she eventually became the fourth member of the jury after being beaten by Simon Black.

Returning for *All Stars*, Daisy was initially in a safe spot as a valued member of the majority alliance. However, due to their history together, ally David Genat leaked the alliance's plan to Mat Rogers's minority alliance, who played his idol for target Jacqui Patterson, sending Daisy home.

* All Stars

**Travel Agent, 24**
Daisy is a classic Aussie country woman. Raised in outback Western Queensland on her parents' cattle station in a town of just 500 people, she was sent to boarding school as a child.
Moving away from her family and into a world of new people and learning to adapt is one reason Daisy thinks she's got what it takes to win *Survivor*. "Boarding school massively shaped who I am as a person and gave me resilience at a really young age.
"Leaving your Mum when you're so young and having to make a new family of friends is hard but it teaches you a lot about yourself."
"I try really hard to win, I always give my best and I'm a lot of fun so I think I'll do okay knowing I'm always doing my hardest. I'm not one to fly under the radar as I'm very loud and I've never been shy, so I do get myself into trouble for putting my foot in my mouth but I'm good in group situations."
Daisy loves rugby, having a beer with mates and is currently working as a travel agent in Brisbane. She moved to Canada on her own and believes she's a Contender through and through.

Daisy says; "I think people who have faced adversity tend to be more resilient and yes, that's me as a battler and I think the Contenders will all be like that."
**24, Travel Agent — Season 4**
Lovable and loud, there's been no rest for Daisy coming back to the island. After making it to Jury Villa in Season 4, she's hoping to come back stronger than before.
"I think I'm back because I'm crazy Daisy! I give everything 100%! I also tell it like it is and I'm not afraid to offend people with my honesty. I'm going to try not to be as paranoid this time and keep my cool more, but I am ready!"
As the youngest of the All Stars, Daisy would like to replicate her strength in challenges and in relationships and would like to find another tight alliance like she had with Shaun. She said: "I want to power couple up but maybe be more discreet this time. I also think a strong two should be part of a four, so I want to get a strong team around me this time."
A country girl from Queensland and now a Travel Agent in Brisbane, Daisy has maintained her fitness and has spent the time between watching previous seasons of Australian Survivor to remind her of who has played. With it fresh in her mind, she's keen to see the return of players like Henry, David and Locky.
