Why do you want to come back for Survivor 50 and how does it feel to be chosen for this milestone season?
Survivor completely changed the trajectory of my life 25 years ago. Half of my life has transpired post-Survivor. Gratitude, appreciation, and respect for the game are reasons enough to say “yes” ... I feel humbled to be chosen.
What one life experience since the last time you played do you feel has prepared you for 50?
The answer is literally in the question. I’m banking on life experience itself to arm and serve me well in season 50. Sixteen years of life experience since I played last. I learned something during that time!
Coming into this season, what is the Survivor accomplishment you are most proud of? And what are you eager to have another shot at?
I’m proud that after 25 years of playing the first time, I’ve been blessed with health that allows me to step on the playing field one more time. I look forward to overhauling my social and strategic game.
What would you say is your Survivor reputation and how will you manage that perception in the game?
I think I preferably appear to be predictable in my loyalty and straightforward, no-nonsense approach to the game. I look forward to using that misguided perception to my advantage this time around.
What is your strategy going into 50? And how will it differ from previous time(s) you’ve played?
Play from the middle. Listen, observe, and adapt. I do not feel compelled to be dominant in any one area. I also don’t plan on being last in those areas either.
Survivor fans have had the opportunity to help shape the game this season by voting on various elements – what are you hoping makes the cut and why?
I don’t know what is on the list.
At this point in your life who is your biggest inspiration and why?
My closest friends, for diverse and wide-ranging reasons, are the ones I draw inspiration from daily.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor?
If it happens, luck will play a role in it. Anyone who says otherwise is fooling themselves.
