Maintaining that flow throughout the game will not always be easy, but it is a top priority.

She has faced so much adversity and never allowed it to break her spirit.
She is a legend in my eyes and the ultimate “survivor” to “thriver.”
I loved seeing a good triple-threat win; she played a very strong social, strategic and physical game.
She “puppeted” her alliance through the entire game while keeping the target off her back.
I am intuitive and an out-of-the-box thinker.
My clever and witty nature will allow me to maneuver and adapt throughout the unexpected twists in the game.

I am playing to win and not for 7thplace.

He motivates me and has encouraged me through so much.
He is also in the military, so he is a real hero in life!
I am not as physical as Rob, but I will be strategic like Cochran.
In life I did not have the luxury to mess up and have people help me.
In life I struggled and fought hard for everything I’ve accomplished.
I’m ready for this, and I will not let this opportunity of a lifetime go to waste.

Social injustice and discrimination make my blood boil.
I will always speak up when I observe it, even if it gets me into trouble.
I love to write, paint, and learn new crafts when I have time for it!
Kelley Wentworth is an example of how I will play if I find myself without such luck.
I can also see myself playing a social and strategic game like Cirie Fields.
People will trust, share information, and be disarmed by me, which will make me dangerous.
I will outplay with my natural competitiveness, athleticism, and tenacity.
I will not give up.
And I will outlast by moving towards small goals that will motivate me along the way.
