S24: Kim Spradlin
« on: January 18, 2012, 09:47:10 AM »

 
Name (Age): Kim Spradlin (29)
Tribe Designation: Salani
Current Residence: San Antonio, Texas 
Occupation: Bridal Shop Owner
Personal Claim to Fame: Always being up for adventure! Opening my own business at age 26, working as a whitewater rafting guide, living at an orphanage in Thailand… Oh! And I can figure out what animal a person would be within five minutes of meeting them.
Inspiration in Life: My dad. He has this amazing way about him that draws people to him. He makes everything feel special - vacations, movies, lunch at Subway, me. He is never afraid and funny as hell. He gives the most amazing and perfectly timed pep talks! 
Hobbies: Sand volleyball, reading and hanging out with really cool people. 
Pet Peeves: Speed bumps, corny humor, people who honk to reprimand rather than as a warning, and really bad bridesmaid dresses (there’s no reason for that, really).   
3 Words to Describe You: Passionate, warm and clever.
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like:  Probably Stephenie LaGrossa from Palau, because she’s a badass (total honey badger). Also, Elisabeth Hasselbeck because she was friendly but competitive and Amanda because she is tall.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Truly for the thrill of it! Stepping away from the comfort of my little world and challenging myself. Proving I can do as well at this game as I’ve always thought I could.
Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: My mental toughness, wicked throwing arm (for a girl), and people sometimes underestimate my sneakiness.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I believe in treating all people with respect and honor. Why would you vote off someone who respects you?

Initial reaction: I like her too, but I kind of feel she's too kind for the game. She sounds like she's there more for the adventure then to actually play. But we'll see. I do like that she likes Elisabeth, only cause that shows that she just may be a longtime fan of the show from the beginning. And I always support fans more than mactors cast in a bar. Could be premerge but I'm hoping she makes it far.

Edited after watching video & press interview: Okay, here is my pick for WINNER of season 24!  :conf: She has the look of a winner and I sense great things for Kim.  :<3       :roses:

My friends and I have a Survivor Bet every year where we pick players before the show begins, and the winners takes the bot. So far I've done extremely well, as I've selected Sophie, Fabio, and Sandra in the past seasons. I picked Kim this year, as she looks like she could go far, and I really likes how quirky she is. Fingers crossed I can win again! I also picked Jonas and Sabrina, but most of my money's on Kim right now.

Well 4 episodes in and I'd say Miss Kim is looking like the best chance of the women to win. Maybe Sabrina a close second. But Kim is definitely getting a strong edit and I loves me some Kim!    :luvya:

Yeah, I'm getting that sort of vibe from her edit as well. I'd be perfectly happy with that - she's like my 2nd or 3rd fave. :tup:

I thought she played a great game until the Final Seven, but from Kat's ousting onwards, I thought her moves were pretty poor. I thought she'd beat everybody except Sabrina/Chelsea without a second thought, but I thought getting rid of the dead weight like Tarzan and Christina was downright awful! :groan: That's when I started to dislike her... although still the best outcome since Samoa! :lol:

Regardless of what ppl have said. I really think she is one of the best winners/players in Survivor history. She's my fave winner since JT(and that was like 3 years ago!). I liked Rob winning on RI too, but that was so predictable. Kim winning was predictable too, but it was still fun to watch her dominate each week.

She's easily up there on the list of top female players with people like Parv,Steph. If she ever returns, she could end up having a Russell styled season. In the sense that, she played the 1st time, people think her gameplay wasn't as good cause it was against an unintelligent cast. Then returning, and owning abunch of top players in Survivor history.


Sure, the people she competed against might have sucked, but it still counts as a great dominating performance. Just like Rob on Redemption Island. She's even been praised by many former contestants(notable one is Richard Hatch).

Hopefully she does end up returning in the future for another all star styled season or something like that. I said it from the beginning(on twitter) that this season was "Survivor: Kims World", that's all it really should be remembered for anyways.

Is she ever gonna get twitter or anything? I remember Jeff saying she never got it cause of some rule, but now that the seasons done, she'd prob get it wouldn't she?

Russell played a good game it's just the jurors were bitter. Kim's jury wasn't :D
