Tre splitter nye stammer! Møt hele rollebesetningen til 'Survivor 43'

De 18 nye spillerne for den 43. sesongen av realityserien inkluderer en kjæledyrkremator, en pediatrisk sykepleier og en Paralympian.
  • Forfatter: Mike Bloom
  • Oppdatert dato:

Ett år siden, Overlevende kom tilbake fra sin første pause noensinne. De reality-TV giganten innledet en 'ny æra', komplett med helt nye vendinger, færre dager og mer deprivasjon. Men nå som potensielle spillere har sett hva som muligens er i vente, vil showet fortsette å endre ting for å holde dem på tå hev? Eller er dette en rollebesetning som er mer klar for «monsteret» som er moderne Overlevende enn noen gang?

I slekt: Alt å vite om Overlevende 43 (Inkludert når den har premiere)

Det gjenstår å se, men uansett er disse 18 nye deltakerne klare. De kommer fra hele verden (inkludert, for første gang, deltakere fra Hawaii!) med en historie å fortelle. Noen er livslange fans av spillet, mens andre ble gal inn i showet under karantene. Yrkene deres spenner fra kjæledyrkremator til pediatrisk sykepleier til Paralympian. Men den ene tingen har de til felles: En sult (før deres bokstavelige sult) etter å bli den siste Sole Survivor og ta med seg millionpremien hjem.

Start galleriet nedenfor for å finne ut de 18 spillerne som konkurrerer i Overlevende 43 . Og sørg for å sjekke inn med parade.com gjennom preseason som vi gir deg eksklusive intervjuer med rollebesetningen før spillet starter.

  Rollelisten til Survivor 43.  Rollelisten til Survivor 43.  Den gule Baka-stammen består av (fra L til R): Elisabeth"Elie" Scott, Mike Gabler, Morriah Young, Owen Knight, Jeanine Zheng, and Sami Layadi.  Elie Scott ble forelsket i Survivor etter at en venn på grunnskolen sammenlignet henne med Michele Fitzgerald. Og 31-åringen håper at arbeidet hennes som klinisk psykolog vil se henne få lignende suksess. Hun spesialiserer seg på å jobbe gjennom PTSD med veteraner, og tror at hennes ferdigheter som en kontakt vil få henne gjennom den 27-dagers kampen hun's about to enter. And though she knows she masks some surprising disorganization, she plans to cover for that by becoming the next "advantage queen."Read our interview with Elie Scott (coming 9/1)Age: 31Hometown: Atlanta, Ga.Current Residence: Salt Lake City, UtahOccupation: Clinical PsychologistFavorite Hobbies: Rock climbing, skiing, karaoke at dive bars3 Words to Describe You: Clever, perceptive and authenticPet Peeve(s): Really the only way someone can earn a spot on my bad side is by being inconsiderate or intentionally hurtful to others. Social injustice and discrimination make my blood boil. I will always speak up when I observe it, even if it gets me into trouble. What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I am most proud of persistence in education, despite challenges. When it came time to apply for college, my high school advisor told me I would be wasting time and money if I enrolled, but I had a deep desire to study psychology so that I could work towards helping families like mine that were impacted by addiction. I was accepted to a program for students with lower GPAs and/or standardized test scores, with the contingency that I had to make A’s in all of my first semester classes. After meeting this requirement, I realized how good it felt to do well in school, show up to class and try hard at things that were challenging. I graduated college early, with a 3.89 GPA and proceeded to earn a 4.0 GPA in all of my Master’s and Doctoral courses.What is something we would never know from looking at you? Most people don’t know that I’m creative and artsy. I love to write, paint, and learn new crafts when I have time for it! Who is your hero and why? My Abuelos, my maternal grandparents, are my greatest heroes because of their ability to persevere through adversity and take risks to better the lives of their family and communities.Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? I think I have the natural ability to lead a group to the end in the same way Kim Spradlin did, but I also realize she had a lot of luck and circumstance on her side during her first season. Kelley Wentworth is an example of how I will play if I find myself without such luck. I am scrappy and crafty and would be fighting up until the last minute to find idols and sway votes in the same way. I can also see myself playing a social and strategic game like Cirie Fields. People see me as caring and nurturing, so I will be afforded more room to subtly manipulate and push for my best interest, without turning people against me. I’d also feel proud to play and grow in the same way that Sarah Lacina did across her seasons. Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I will outwit by use of my natural social skill and cutthroat strategy. People will trust, share information, and be disarmed by me, which will make me dangerous. I am coming into the game with the understanding that SURVIVOR is a world with a different set of social norms, so my mindset will shift away from Psychologist ethics and toward SURVIVOR Ethics. I will outplay with my natural competitiveness, athleticism, and tenacity. I will not give up. In this new era, advantages are key, so I will hustle hard to find and use advantages to keep myself alive! And I will outlast by moving towards small goals that will motivate me along the way. I will know when to strike and when to lay low. I will be sneaky when I have to be and transparent when it is beneficial. I will adapt with the game.  UX-designer Jeanine Zheng er klar til å navigere på et annet nett ute på øya. 24-åringen kommer til spillet for å lage både henne og faren's dreams come true, having watched the show together through the years. And while she's excited about the looseness and unpredictability the "new era" provides, she hopes her resume of high achievement will lead to yet another hard-earned success in her life.Read our interview with Jeanine Zheng (coming 9/1)Age: 24Hometown: South Hamilton, Mass.Current Residence: San Francisco, Calif.Occupation: UX DesignerFavorite Hobbies: Backpacking (bonus points if it leads to sleeping under the stars), photography, running3 Words to Describe You: Green (both in that I absorb all new experiences/information around me, and am environmentally conscious), empathetic, wittyPet Peeve(s): Being “mansplained” to, people on their phones while you’re hanging out. What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? The body of work that I am most proud of is my senior thesis, which bridged my two majors of Environmental Science and Visual Arts. They are two departments that have never worked together as a double major, and it took a lot of initiative to create my own syllabus and thesis which addresses both. The thesis is a true reflection of me, of my equal passions in sustainability and art. What is something we would never know from looking at you? People often assume I’m extroverted because I’ve very effusive and engaged, especially when meeting someone for the first time. But I’m definitely an introvert and need time alone to recharge. Who is your hero and why? My father paved the way for my family and our life as we know it. He grew up as a sweet potato farmer in the impoverished countryside of China; he eventually came to the United States, completed his PhD in genetics, and now creates biotechnologies to increase yields for those very crops. To say I admire his tenacity, discipline, and work ethic is an understatement. Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Kim Spradlin. She had the ability to control the game based on her interpersonal relationships, convincing everyone on the tribe that they could trust her. She straddled the perfect balance of executing huge game moves without being pegged as the mastermind -- and is feminism at its finest. Also, Andrea Boehlke because she is outdoorsy, carried her weight and manipulated people while staying likable.Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? Given the evolution of the game, I see the winner as having to sit between multiple trust clusters and have the intuition to know when to rely on which at any given moment. I can sit in that position; I can create relationships with people from completely different backgrounds and juggle the nuances of my different alliances. My athleticism and outdoor experience give me the ability to “outlast,” but I see my real strong-suit in the “outwit” portion. I can read social dynamics easily, which will allow me to be ahead of the curve in terms of moves. I’ll make my own moves, so that at final tribal council, there will be no question of whether or not I played actively and assertively.   Den's unknown if Mike Gabler has the most heart out of the Survivor 43 cast, but he certainly is the biggest expert on it. The transcatheter valve expert has made the show a household staple since the very beginning and is thinking back home in more ways than one out here. But he's ready to dry his tears, though they may help people look past his "severe-looking" exterior.Read our interview with Mike Gabler (coming 9/2)Age: 52Hometown: Houston, TexasCurrent Residence: Meridian, IdahoOccupation: Heart Valve SpecialistFavorite Hobbies: Camping, hunting, fishing, skiing3 Words to Describe You: Intense, energetic, funPet Peeve(s): Unfairness and men in skinny jeans! What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? My family. It has not been easy. Life is busy; life is hard. But through hard work, dedication and love, we have stayed together, overcome obstacles and are strong!What is something we would never know from looking at you? As social as I am, I enjoy time alone. I am also more sensitive than most think. Who is your hero and why? My father. He’s always there for us. He was also a Green Beret and is a patriot. Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? If I can only pick one, then I’d say Sandra. She was always in the right place at the right time. She had phenomenal strategies and game play. Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? Yes!!  Morriah Young er en lærer og kunstner hvis personlighet er like fargerik som kunsten hun lager (så vel som stilen hennes). 28-åringen vokste opp med å se Survivor helt fra begynnelsen og er her for å sjekke en siste ting av bøttelisten til sin avdøde mor. Men hun føler at råheten i den opplevelsen har forberedt henne på utholdenheten spillet krever, og håper å forlate øya lysere enn da hun kom inn på den. Les intervjuet vårt med Morriah Young (kommer 9/2) Alder: 28 Hjemby: Philadelphia, Pa .Nåværende bosted: Philadelphia, Pa. Yrke: LærerFavoritthobbyer: Shopping, reise, lage innhold3 ord for å beskrive deg: Fargerik, energisk, gledesfyltPet Peeve(s): Negative Nancys, Debbie Downers, BulliesHva er prestasjonen du er mest stolt av? Jeg er stolt av livet jeg bygger sammen med forloveden min. Jeg er stolt av å være lærer. Jeg er stolt av å klare meg gjennom college. Åpner selfiemuseet mitt. Hva er noe vi aldri ville fått vite av å se på deg? At jeg er livredd for klovner! Hvem er helten din og hvorfor? Jeg er min egen helt. Jeg redder meg selv hver gang. Men moren min er den ultimate helten, for nå som jeg er blitt voksen og hun ikke lenger er her, skjønner jeg hvor mye hun virkelig holdt ut. Hvilken tidligere Survivor vil du spille spillet mest like? James: 'Ikke bit i eplet!' Vær tro mot alliansen din så godt du kan, og hold den ut til slutten. Hvorfor tror du at du kan være den eneste overlevende? Det er ikke noe i verden jeg ikke kan oppnå. Tankesettet mitt har fått meg til målstreken for alle drømmene mine. Dessuten er jeg superelskelig og ikke en umiddelbar trussel.   Opptaksdirektør Owen Knight håper å bli tatt opp i Survivor-vinnerne' circle by the end of this season. The 30-year-old fell back in love with the show as an adult and feels his interpersonal skills can get many alliance applications accepted. He feels he's perceived as a cross between a long-haired "bro" and a brainy nerd, and hopes that can make him a big unknown on the island.Read our interview with Owen Knight (coming 9/3) Age: 30Hometown: Bethesda, Md.Current Residence: New Orleans, La.Occupation: College Admissions DirectorFavorite Hobbies: Backpacking, hiking, video games, taking and coaching fitness classes3 Words to Describe You: Loyal, charismatic, passionatePet Peeve(s): People who are entitled. And people who don’t know what to do at a four-way stop.What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Being named an admission director at my age is rare. To be named director at my alma mater reminds me that the grind has been worth it, and that people have noticed how dedicated and genuinely invested I am.What is something we would never know from looking at you? That I’m a great public speaker and use my people skills at work every day. Asian men have certain unfair stereotypes associated with them, and I do not fit that mold. I played football in high school, was rush chair for my fraternity, and can entertain a room of 800 people. I use my EQ more than my IQ on an average day.Who is your hero and why? My parents. They are kind, fun, hard-working and dedicated to one another. They’re more active and social than I am! They gave me a life that anyone would dream of when they adopted me as a baby, and they have supported me in every endeavor I have taken on. I owe them everything and want to make them proud. Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? I would love to play a similar game to Adam Klein. He kept his threat level low, had good relationships with everyone, and was his authentic, superfan self. Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I can win SURVIVOR because I am an unassuming triple threat. Socially, I’m likable and take a genuine interest in people. I make people feel like I am invested in them because I actually am! Physically, I am athletic enough to be an asset early in the game; however, nobody is going to mistake me for Ozzy and view me as a threat to go on an individual immunity run. Strategically, I am a SURVIVOR super-duper fan and have seen every season and watch the international versions. I have studied this game and know what works and what doesn’t. Most importantly, I am pretty self-aware and know that I need to play my own game and go with the flow as the game develops.  19 år gammel er Sami Layadi denne sesongen's youngest castaway. But the pet cremator wants to use that to his advantage, looking to learn from the life experiences of his competition to endear himself as a "likable kid." Because beneath a wall of "genetics and great looks" lies someone who is, at his heart, insecure and looking to constantly better himself.Read our interview with Sami Layadi (coming 9/3)Age: 19Hometown: Las Vegas, Nev.Current Residence: Las Vegas, Nev.Occupation: Pet CrematorFavorite Hobbies: Sports, fitness, journaling3 Words to Describe You: Unpredictable, tenacious, indecisivePet Peeve(s): Excuses, laziness, being woken up before noon on weekendsWhat is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Probably getting my Eagle Scout, because I struggled mightily with completing merit badges and often took 3-4 classes just to get them. To finally receive it made me very proud of myself.What is something we would never know from looking at you? My background is very culturally diverse with my father being an immigrant from Morocco.Who is your hero and why? My grandpa, Dale Donald Mann, because he is the hardest working man I have ever known, and he always made sure I knew what was most important: family. He was an amazing husband to my grandmother; seeing him build their relationship upon love and trust taught me so much about how to love somebody. And he understood me more than anybody else ever has. When I would tell him about my insecurities and self-doubt, he would help me understand how those things are actually strengths. I knew I could always count on my grandpa, and I want to make him smile from up there.Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Kelley Wentworth. What I admire and take away from Wentworth’s game is that she never gave up until her torch was snuffed, and even when she was clearly in the bottom, she not only found ways to climb up, but she made everybody think that she was oblivious and not smart enough to foil the foolproof plan they had. Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? Because I do not allow myself to not know what is going on with those around me. I am too conversationally and emotionally experienced with people to be unaware of my standing in the game at all times, and I am too determined and hungry to get comfortable. Everybody that I meet grows a heart on their sleeve after I speak with them for 20 minutes, and my competitors on the island will be no different.  Den blå Coco-stammen består av (fra L til R): James Jones, Lindsay Carmine, Ryan Medrano, Geo Bustamante, Karla Cruz Godoy og Cassidy Clark.  I en annen verden ville Cassidy Clark allerede ha spilt Survivor. 26-åringen hadde blitt kastet for sesong 41 tilbake i 2019 og var dager unna å spille før pandemien slo til. Men ødeleggelsene ga henne en mulighet til å forberede seg hardere under reapplikasjonen. Nå er motedesigneren enda mer klar til å treffe rullebanen Tribal Council, i håp om å representere familien hennes på et show som har vært så konstant for dem i alle disse årene. Les intervjuet vårt med Cassidy Clark (kommer 9/4) Alder: 26Hjemby : Plano, Texas Nåværende bosted: Austin, Texas Yrke: DesignerFavoritt Hobbyer: Motedesign og de fleste former for kunst, sparsommelig med besteforeldrenes gamle klær og nips, skøyter, boksing og undervannsutforsking.3 ord for å beskrive deg: Groovy, karismatisk og kreativ. Pet Peeve(s): Trangsynte, dømmende mennesker. Også folk som ikke har ærbødighet for Moder Natur og alle hennes vakre vesener! Hva er prestasjonen du er mest stolt av? Jeg har kjempet gjennom mange smertefulle opplevelser og aldri latt det knekke meg eller holde meg tilbake lenge. Jeg har en kampvilje og vil alltid være stolt av min utholdenhet. Men jeg er også veldig stolt av å vise designene mine i et moteshow! Hva er noe vi aldri ville vite av å se på deg? Jeg har alltid båret på en dyp åndelig undring og takknemlighet for livet, naturen og alle dets mange vakre kompleksiteter. Jeg kan manifestere og skape hva som helst når jeg overgir meg fullstendig til øyeblikket og finner aksept i det. Å opprettholde den flyten gjennom hele spillet vil ikke alltid være lett, men det er en topp prioritet. Hvem er helten din og hvorfor? Jeg vet det høres klisjé ut, men mammaen min er helt utrolig! Hun har møtt så mye motgang og aldri latt det bryte ånden hennes. Hun er en legende i mine øyne og den ultimate 'overlevende' for å 'trives'. Hvilken tidligere Survivor vil du spille spillet mest like? Jeg har alltid beundret Kim Spradlins spill, hun var en lavmælt leiemorder! Jeg elsket å se en god trippel-trussel seier; hun spilte et veldig sterkt sosialt, strategisk og fysisk spill. Hun 'puppet' sin allianse gjennom hele spillet mens hun holdt målet unna ryggen. Hvorfor tror du at du kan være den eneste overlevende? Jeg tror jeg har det søte stedet på alle de riktige stedene. Jeg er fysisk sprek og konkurransedyktig, jeg vil være en ressurs for stammen min, men min mindre kropp vil få meg til å fremstå som ikke-truende. Jeg er intuitiv og en out-of-the-box tenker. Min smarte og vittige natur vil tillate meg å manøvrere og tilpasse meg gjennom de uventede vendingene i spillet. Jeg har evnen til å manipulere og overtale andre, og selv om jeg ikke misbruker det i hverdagen, er alle spill avslått i SURVIVOR. Mine livserfaringer, optimistiske sjarm og fordomsfrie syn vil tillate meg å få dyp kontakt med andre, avvæpne dem og danne sterke allianser og vennskap. Men jeg kan bruke logikken min til å holde meg løs nok til å alltid ta den beste avgjørelsen for spillet mitt. Når gummien møter veien, vil jeg gjøre det som trengs for å spille på en kraftfull måte. Folk vil ikke se meg komme, og det er akkurat det jeg regner med.   Innsatsen er høy for at Geo Bustamante kommer inn i Survivor. 36-åringen ble tvunget til å slutte i jobben for å være med i showet, så han's aiming to come back home with his biggest paycheck yet. And he hopes he can do that by giving back to a show that showed him that your insecurities can make you shine, even if they'll come to the forefront on the beach.Read our interview with Geo Bustamante (coming 9/4)Age: 36Hometown: Miami, Fla.Current Residence: Honolulu, HIOccupation: Project ManagerFavorite Hobbies: Hiking, traveling, diving3 Words to Describe You: Adaptable, hard worker, resilientPet Peeve(s): I strongly dislike laziness and people who don’t have common courtesy. What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Being that English is my second language, I grew up in the hood and was homeless for a period of time, the accomplishment that I am most proud of is graduating with my Associates degree with a 4.0 GPA.What is something we would never know from looking at you? I grew up shy, quiet and in my head, which made me a thinker and very analytical. People also don’t see that if they mess or compete with me, they will lose. A whole new alter ego comes out that turns into a beast during any competition.Who is your hero and why? My husband is my hero because he is everything I have. He motivates me and has encouraged me through so much. He is also in the military, so he is a real hero in life! Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? It would have to be a combination of Cochran and Boston Rob. I am not as physical as Rob, but I will be strategic like Cochran. I’m hoping that by the end of the season, people will see that I played my own game.Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? Because in life, I am already a survivor. 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 have the fire in me and the willpower to show the world that I deserve to win and will not let anything or anyone get in my way. I’m ready for this, and I will not let this opportunity of a lifetime go to waste. The world will see that Geo Bustamante has arrived, and I WILL WIN!  James Jones har alltid vært i stand til å tilpasse seg, helt siden han ble en fisk ute av vannet på et universitetscampus på 13 000. Og da 37-åringen så Earl Cole vinne Survivor tilbake i 2007, skjønte han at dette var showet for ham. Arrangementsplanleggeren's guest list for alliances includes purposely seeking out people who are his opposites, even if that means going against his Philly instincts and opening up his heart.Read our interview with James Jones (coming 9/5)Age: 37Hometown: Philadelphia, Pa.Current Residence: Philadelphia, Pa.Occupation: Event PlannerFavorite Hobbies: Curating events, finding the best cocktails in the city, reading/writing3 Words to Describe You: Confident, casual, self-awarePet Peeve(s): Really bad customer service. Pushy sales people.What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Winning the United States Chess Open (largest chess tournament in the USA) for my rating bracket when I was 12. You are playing against grown people, and I won $1,200. That was like $100,000 to me at the time! It gave me the confidence that I could do almost anything. What is something we would never know from looking at you? I grew up in the church. I was an usher and sang in the choir from age 6 to 17. My dad was a deacon and my mom was a deaconess. I have a deep faith but it is my own faith. I don’t talk about it a lot but I am a big believer.Who is your hero and why? My mom. She overcame a lot to raise me and give me the foundation to be the person that I am today. She made sure I was raised in a safe house, made sure I went to church to develop a moral compass, took me to black history workshops as a child so I had a sense of self worth. She made sure I got into the best public school in the city, then made sure I could travel the country as a middle schooler playing chess. She passed away five years ago, and as I grow older, I grow to admire her more each day.Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Sandra’s “anyone but me” will always be my strategy, as long as I see a path to the end and I am with people, or have people, in which I trust. If I don’t have that, I will be an agent of chaos Russell with charm. I am playing to win and not for 7th place.Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I thrive, and find a certain comfort, in chaos. Managing events at a club on a Friday night anything can happen, but whatever issues pop up you have to handle. That takes interpersonal skills if it is dealing with people, and it takes general problem-solving skills when dealing with a venue, and you still have to make sure everyone at your party has a great time.  Karla Cruz Godoy har alltid levd med mottoet «if you don't like something, change it." The 28-year-old grew up in a low-income household, building resiliency that got her a prestigious scholarship and an impressive education to boot. She comes to the show wanting to provide more representation, hoping her social and eavesdropping skills will lead to her thriving once more.Read our interview with Karla Cruz Godoy (coming 9/5)Age: 28Hometown: San Diego, Calif.Current Residence: Newark, Del.Occupation: Educational Project ManagerFavorite Hobbies: Traveling, brunching, karaoke3 Words to Describe You: Ambitious, gregarious, adaptablePet Peeve(s): Tardiness, pessimism, slow driversWhat is the accomplishment you are most proud of? My parents are Mexican immigrants who became teenage parents at the age of 16, which led me to grow up in a low-income community where college was only a dream. Fortunately, school became a safe space for me, where I felt loved, cared for and seen. I recognized that through school, I could follow my passions and most importantly, get out of the hood. I’m proud to say I’m the first in my family to graduate from high school, and the first to graduate from college, and I did it all with a full-ride scholarship from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Millennium Scholars program. This queer Chicana did that!What is something we would never know from looking at you? I’m incredibly competitive and an overachiever in every aspect of my life. Who is your hero and why? My grandfather, Elizafat Godoy. He immigrated to the U.S. from Chilpancingo, Guerrero, Mexico to provide a better life for his family, and he instilled strong educational values in me. He loves his family and my grandmother unconditionally. He’s the most important male figure in my life.Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Cirie Fields because she was an incredibly well-rounded, social, and analytical player. She was loved by all, she knew when to stir the pot, and she knew how to keep a strong social game that could take her to the end. I’m physically strong, so I’ll use that as an added advantage. Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I’m adaptable, resilient, gregarious, and my ancestors have my back. I’m confident in my social game, that I’ll build relationships across differences and get along with just about anyone. With my wife and family in my heart and thoughts, I know I will make it to the end.  Lindsay Carmine har levd et liv i tjeneste, enten hun jobber som sykepleier eller har støttet familien gjennom både triumf og tragedie. Men én ting's clear: She's playing Survivor for herself. The 42-year-old is capitalizing on a dream that spans over two decades, but sees herself as the underdog due to her age and perceived Southern hospitality. But make no mistake, she's ready for the frontlines of this game.Read our interview with Lindsay Carmine (coming 9/6)Age: 42Hometown: Greensboro, N.C.Current Residence: Downingtown, Pa.Occupation: Pediatric NurseFavorite Hobbies: Volunteering, traveling, reading, exercising, gardening and projects on our homestead. Any and all outdoor adventures. Spending time with family and friends.3 Words to Describe You: Relentless, resourceful, compassionatePet Peeve(s): People that cut in line. Smacking gum. When people play games on their phone and don’t put the phone on silent.What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I’ve never strayed from my goals, even when people tell me my expectations are too high. The common assumption is that you can have it all, just not all at once. I’m here to show you that you can! I look around at this life that I’ve very intentionally created for myself and our family and think, “What if I had listened to everyone and just stopped dreaming? I wouldn’t have any of this!” What is something we would never know from looking at you? People are mostly surprised at how competitive I am, especially as I get older. It’s as if people think I should have outgrown that phase in my life by now. I come across as non-threatening, and it is very intentional on my part – this is going to help me in the game. Who is your hero and why? Healthcare providers! Specifically my co-workers and nursing school best friends, who I relied on for strength and support while I cared for Covid patients during the pandemic.Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Natalie – mental and physical strength. Sarah – strategic. Michelle – social. Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I have 20 years’ worth of reasons why I am going to be the sole SURVIVOR.  Fra en ung alder måtte Ryan Medrano lære å løse ting på sin egen måte. Han ble født med mild cerebral parese, og jobbet opp fra å ikke kunne gå til å bli personlig trener. Han's had to read body language and facial expressions to anticipate next moves, something he believes will make him a natural for the game. But while the 25-year-old wants to be empathetic on the surface, behind the scenes, he has a calculated plan of recruiting allies within allies.Read our interview with Ryan Medrano (coming 9/6)Age: 25Hometown: Savannah, Ga.Current Residence: El Paso, TexasOccupation: Warehouse AssociateFavorite Hobbies: Fishing, hiking, carpentry3 Words to Describe You: Charismatic, outgoing, humorousPet Peeve(s): Bullies, laziness, self-entitlement. What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? My connection that I made with my mother after her stroke. I helped her to understand that just because she wasn’t the same as before didn’t mean she couldn’t live a full life. She just had to approach things from her newfound perspective.What is something we would never know from looking at you? I was born three months early with mild cerebral palsy. Doctors said I would never walk but after four years of therapy, I finally was able to.Who is your hero and why? My father. He helped raise us while fighting for our country and putting 110% into both. Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Rupert. I like the way he provided food for his tribe, which helped them keep their strength for the challenges. Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I’m a triple threat. I can socialize easily, am naturally strong and quick in puzzles. I am great at forming bonds and can influence others with a silver tongue. I have a great resolve to do what needs to be done to earn the million dollars.  Den røde Vesi-stammen består av (fra L til R): Dwight Moore, Nneka Ejere, Cody Assenmacher, Noelle Lambert, Jesse Lopez og Justine Brennan.  Cody Assenmacher er ikke fremmed for øylivet, etter å ha flyttet fra slettene i Iowa til Hawaii for mange år siden. Planen hans for å spille er skissert av noen av hans tidligere favorittspillere: Ha det gøy, konkurrer og yt. 35-åringen vet at jokertegnbildet hans kan trekke mye oppmerksomhet, både godt og dårlig. Men han spekulerer i at gameplayet hans vil være akkurat som håret hans: Relasjonsbygging foran og vilt strategisk bak. Les intervjuet vårt med Cody Assenmacher (kommer 9/7) Alder: 35 Hjemby: Preston, Iowa Nåværende bosted: Honolulu, HIOyrke: Heis SalgFavoritthobbyer: Gå ut med venner, reise og være utendørs 3 ord for å beskrive deg: Optimistisk, karismatisk, uredd Pet Peeve(s): Late mennesker, sosiale medier-avhengige, klippe negler på et offentlig sted. Hva er prestasjonen du er mest stolt av? Jeg er virkelig stolt av forholdet[e] jeg har til familien min og vennene mine. Uten dem ville livet vært kjedelig. Å vite at de er der for meg, uansett hva, er trøstende. Hva er noe vi aldri ville vite av å se på deg? [Flere] av de nederste fortennene mine er falske. Da jeg var liten, festet min eldre bror meg i en slede bak en ATV i en frossen kornåker, og sleden veltet. Hvem er helten din og hvorfor? Devon Yaddof, en bestevenn av meg som gikk av kreft på videregående. Tapet hans tente en brann i meg i veldig ung alder. Den brannen fortsetter å drive meg til å leve livet mitt annerledes. Og foreldrene mine, siden jeg er takknemlig for at de uselvisk har formet meg til den mannen jeg er i dag. Hvilken tidligere Survivor vil du spille spillet mest like? Malcolm – han var en sympatisk, fysisk dyktig, ydmyk spiller som brukte det ferdighetssettet for å komme seg gjennom spillet. Malcolm og jeg deler flere karakterer, personlighet og fysiske ferdigheter. Evnen til å lene seg tilbake og noen ganger spille rollen som en tosk for å lure tosken som tror de lurer deg, er avgjørende for å konkurrere i dette spillet. Hvorfor tror du at du kan være den eneste overlevende? Jeg vet at SURVIVOR og jeg var ment for hverandre. Det tok oss bare 20 år å innse det! Min karismatiske, livsglade personlighet vil gjøre meg i stand til å bygge allianser. Mitt konkurransefortrinn vil holde tall gjennom vinnende utfordringer. Erfaring med å være utendørs vil hjelpe deg med å bygge husly og skaffe mat. Mine erfaringer, yrke og det å bo i forskjellige byer har gitt meg visdom foran min tid, og jeg vil bruke det til min fordel i å kommunisere med spillere som er eldre enn meg, mens min aktive livsstil og ungdommelige ånd vil gjøre meg i stand til å forholde meg til yngre spillere .  Dwight Moore har så mye intervjuerfaring at han kanskje kommer for Jeff Probst's Tribal Council job by the end of the season. The 22-year-old had a journalism career at a young age that gave him the bravery to do anything, including apply to Survivor. Despite admitting he is out of his element, he hopes his academic skills and adaptability are able to apply to his strategy to send him to the front of the class once more.Read our interview with Dwight Moore (coming 9/7)Age: 22Hometown: Palo Alto, Calif.Current Residence: Collierville, Tenn.Occupation: Graduate StudentFavorite Hobbies: Skiing, videogames, tutoring/teaching.3 Words to Describe You: Ambitious, confident and strong-willed.Pet Peeve(s): Someone making a reference to “The Office” within two seconds of learning my name. Arrogance. Refusal to use turn signals while driving.What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? In my sophomore year of high school, I decided to take the ACT, just to see how I would do on it, and I ended up getting a perfect score. That was great for college admissions, and it garnered me attention locally and nationally. Due to that, I’ve had parents in Memphis tell me that they’ve used me as an example for their kids, to show what black people can accomplish academically. It’s not the actual score that I’m proud of; it’s the idea that, hopefully, someone felt motivated by seeing black representation in an academic space. What is something we would never know from looking at you? That I had a whole career as a journalist that rivals that of professionals, all before I entered college! I got into journalism because as a kid, I wanted to become President and decided that the best way to learn was by interviewing other political figures. The list of people I’ve interviewed includes Cory Booker, Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. I also covered the red carpet at the National Civil Rights Museum’s Freedom Awards for many years, interviewing honorees.Who is your hero and why? My parents! My dad was raised in a small town in Mississippi and is now a doctor with his own practice in Memphis, and my mom is a registered nurse [turned] stay-at-home mom. They’ve been able to do so much with their lives despite obstacles, thus being able to provide me with so much in my life. Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? I hope to emulate Wendell’s game from “Ghost Island” the most. He made it far due to an extremely strong social game, and I hope to create that same level of bond, such that people will want to keep me around, even if doing so would be detrimental to their long-term game. Also, he performed well in challenges, both in the individual and tribal phases when needed.Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I can be the Sole Survivor not just because of my social skills or intellect, but because of the passion that I put into every single thing that I do in life. If I set my mind to do something, I’m giving it everything until I see that goal met. I’m well aware that I lack typical skills for living outdoors, but many legends of the game lacked those skills initially as well. I’ve always been open to learning and adapting to my environment in order to succeed, and I don’t plan on treating this game any differently, especially in the succeeding part.   Jesse Lopez har levd et liv forankret i pivots. 30-åringen gikk fra å være gjengmedlem i ungdomshall til å snu livet, nå huseier og stolt tobarnsfar. Han ble forelsket i Survivor da han studerte stemmeatferd som en del av sin Ph.D. i statsvitenskap. Og han håper han's able to turn those book smarts into beach smarts, even if it means breaking through an unfriendly first impression.Read our interview with Jesse Lopez (coming 9/8)Age: 30Hometown: Venice, Calif.Current Residence: Durham, N.C.Occupation: Political Science Ph.D.Favorite Hobbies: Playing chess with my son. Dancing with my daughter. Binge-watching shows with my wife after the chess player and dancer fall asleep.3 Words to Describe You: Aware, ambitious, unbreakablePet Peeve(s): Quitters, people who complain about things but aren’t willing to change, and personalized license plates.What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? The family I’ve built with my wife. Every day I get to watch my kids actually be kids and grow at their own pace. That’s something that I never had and always wanted. It doesn’t matter what else I’ve done or end up doing; building a family with my wife takes the cake.What is something we would never know from looking at you? I do research at Duke. You don’t look at me and see a scholar. As Biggie says though, “I’m sicker than your average.”Who is your hero and why? My wife. She’s been with me every step of the way and had to make the same sacrifices as me to get here. She juggles the weight of both kids, my stresses, as well as her own, and still manages to maintain her composure. She’s got no fear and has always pushed me to do better. I could go on forever, but at the end of the day I just want to make her proud.Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? I’m basically Spencer or Christian (David vs. Goliath) if they got jumped into a gang at 15. I’m definitely bringing an academic mindset to the game because I’ve spent more hours thinking about how people vote than Sandra and Boston Rob combined. At the same time, I wasn’t raised in an ivory tower and have been around the block enough to know there is stuff textbooks can’t teach you about real people and life.Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I’ve researched voting behavior for years. I don’t care if I’m out there with someone who never missed an episode of SURVIVOR, or someone who played 3 times already, they ain’t gonna hold a candle to me strategically. But I’m also not an academic by nature and have gone from being a gang member to dealing with Harvard-level researchers on a daily basis -- so I can adapt to any environment and build relationships with anyone.  Justine Brennan vokste opp i en husholdning som lærte verdien av hardt arbeid. Foreldrene hennes bygde et liv for henne og søsknene hennes etter å ha immigrert fra Filippinene. 29-åringen's fandom ignited when she binge-watched the series during quarantine. And she's excited for a new era where things move will move as quickly as her speed through 40+ seasons of Survivor.Read our interview with Justine Brennan (coming 9/8)Age: 29Hometown: Sunnyvale, Calif.Current Residence: Marina Del Rey, Calif.Occupation: Cyber Security SalesFavorite Hobbies: Cooking, oil painting, golfing3 Words to Describe You: Self-sufficient, resourceful, wittyPet Peeve(s): When people walk slowly right in front of you, when you open the door for someone and they don’t say thank you, when people are passive aggressive.What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? My parents let me borrow their 20-year-old Lexus SUV a few years back, and I immediately ran the passenger side door into a 4’ tall concrete pole by making a sharp right turn and not seeing it in my blind spot. To fix the destroyed door would have cost more money than the car was worth, so I looked at websites of a few junkyards, found [one] that had a 2019 gold Lexus LX470, bargained it down from $750 to $400, and installed the new door on Thanksgiving day. Aside from the passenger window now being tinted, it was like the accident never happened!What is something we would never know from looking at you? I think a lot of people think I’m an un-athletic girly girl, but my dad raised me to be the son he never had. I grew up racing dirtbikes and going to fishing derbies. And at my high school’s traditional junior vs. senior girls powderpuff football game, I put a girl in a headlock and tackled her to the ground. (There’s photo evidence.) Who is your hero and why? Easy – my dad. He’s the reason I’m athletic, resourceful, and driven. He decided to be the parent to me and my sister that he never had. He’s the best -- so supportive, and he never lets a day go by without telling us he loves us. He’s the reason I’m in tech sales; I always wanted to be just like him when I grew up. Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Either Kelley Wentworth or Joe Anglim. Joe was obviously an insane competitor at the individual challenges, but he also proved himself to be a necessary part of the tribe with how resourceful he was. Both were generally likable people to their tribes. It’s necessary to perform things like blindsides in order to keep yourself in the game, but I think Kelley and Joe both played in a lawful-enough way that wasn’t anywhere near as manipulative as other people like Sandra or Tony. Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? In sales I have to outwit people every day. It helps having a high EQ, and I’ve always been way more emotionally intelligent than book smart. That’s a huge attribute when interacting with other tribe members. Having a Psychology degree and being in sales gives me great people skills; put me in a room of strangers and we’ll leave as friends. I’m good at connecting with people and making them feel comfortable enough to trust me, which is key in a game like SURVIVOR. I’m a strong competitor. Don’t judge me by my size! I will never give up on something that I want; I’m that stubborn and I do not like losing.  Farmasøyt Nneka Ejere håper hun har den rette resepten for å bli en Survivor-vinner. 43-åringen har erfaring med bokstavelig talt store trekk, etter å ha immigrert fra Nigeria med to barn og et tredje på vei. Som den eldste kvinnen på sesongen håper hun hennes erfaring med motstandskraft og samfunnsbygging vil gi henne sjansen til å spille sin foretrukne stil, der hun håper å utfordre den vanlige løgn og ryggstikking. Les intervjuet vårt med Nneka Ejere (kommer 9/9 )Alder: 43Hjemby: Weatherford, Texas Nåværende bosted: Weatherford, Texas Yrke: FarmasøytFavoritthobbyer: Reise, sykle, lage mat 3 ord for å beskrive deg: Gledelig, hardtarbeidende, pålitelig Pet Peeve(r): Middelmådighet, latskap Hva er det du best presterer? Min familie! Min mann og jeg har kommet oss gjennom noen tøffe tider og har tre fantastiske barn. Hva er noe vi aldri ville fått vite av å se på deg? Hvor tøff, spenstig og bestemt jeg kan være. Hvem er helten din og hvorfor? Min far. Han har fått til så mye. Han overvant så mange hindringer fra barndommen gjennom sine voksne år og trivdes ikke bare, men tok med seg så mange andre for å sikre at han avsluttet syklusen av fattigdom som ellers ville ha plaget storfamilien. Hvilken tidligere Survivor vil du spille spillet mest liker? Cirie, fordi jeg elsker å koble til og gjøre det enkelt. Jeg vil spille hardt uten å virke på overflaten. Hvorfor tror du at du kan være den eneste overleveren? Jeg tror at jeg kan oppnå alt jeg har bestemt meg for. Jeg kan påvirke andre til å ta avgjørelser, og de vil tro at det var deres idé hele tiden. Jeg er også spenstig; det handler ikke om hvor mange ganger jeg faller, men at jeg står opp en gang til. Jeg tror at alt som er verdt å gjøre er verdt å gjøre bra, så jeg gir alltid 100 %.  For seks år siden mistet Noelle Lambert beinet i en ulykke. Men 25-åringen gjorde tragedie til triumf, da han ble paralympisk og konkurrerte i Tokyo-lekene i fjor. Nå står hun overfor en helt annen, men like utfordrende situasjon, da hun for første gang er uten støtteapparatet. Hennes mål for spillet er å styre inn i den atletiske bakgrunnen hennes, og omgi seg med fysiske trusler til hun kan kutte strupen. Les intervjuet vårt med Noelle Lambert (kommer 9/9) Alder: 25 Hjemby: Londonderry, N.H. Nåværende bosted: Manchester, N.H. Yrke: U.S. ParalympianFavoritthobbyer: Snowboard, reise, henge med venner3 ord for å beskrive deg: Utholdende, utadvendt, målbevisstPet Peeve(s): Late mennesker, trege sjåfører og falske mennesker. Hva er prestasjonen du er mest stolt av? Etter at beinet mitt ble amputert i 2016, lot jeg det aldri definere meg. Jeg kom tilbake og spilte Division 1 Lacrosse, og på bare to år tok jeg Tokyo Paralympic Track & Feltlag og satte ny amerikansk rekord på 100 meter. Hva er noe vi aldri ville fått vite når vi så på deg? Noe folk ikke tenker når de ser meg er at jeg er en fantastisk idrettsutøver. Det mange ser når de ser på meg er protesen min, og de synes synd på meg og tviler på mine evner. Og det er deres første feil. Hvem er helten din og hvorfor? Moren min. Hun er min beste venn, min motivasjon og alt jeg ønsker å være. Hun er den mest uselviske og omsorgsfulle personen jeg kjenner, og jeg ville ikke vært der jeg er i dag hvis det ikke var for henne. Hvilken tidligere Survivor vil du spille spillet mest like? Jeg vil gjerne spille et lignende spill som Kelley Wentworth på hennes andre sesong. Stammekameratene hennes trodde ikke hun var en stor trussel, men hun fant skjulte immunitetsidoler og skapte blindsider for å fremme seg selv i spillet. Hvorfor tror du at du kan bli den eneste overlevende? Jeg har evnen til å knytte vennskap lett, og jeg vil bruke det til min fordel for å komme langt i spillet. Jeg er også flink til å legge strategier og tilpasse meg et miljø i stadig endring, og jeg er villig til å gjøre alt som trengs for å komme til slutten. Hvis du presenterer meg det umulige, vil jeg overvinne det.
