Retired LAPD Officer
Personal
Claim to Fame: Receiving a full-ride basketball scholarship to Santa
Clara University, finding the perfect husband and, of course, my kids.
Inspiration
in Life: My mom – she was a feminist before it was acceptable. She
taught me to be confident and encouraged me to pick sports over
cheerleading.
Hobbies:
Working out, cooking, gardening and target shooting.
Pet Peeves:
I hate whining, being called a “girl” and rude drivers.
Three Words
to Describe You: Tenacious, competitive and confident.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: Stephenie LaGrossa, because she was tough
and stood up for herself, and Sue Hawk, because she spoke her mind.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want to prove that a 50+-year-old woman
can compete. I love challenges, both physical and mental. The
money would also be a great help to my kids with college.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I thrive on being a team
player; I have a never-quit attitude and I can deal with pain and
discomfort.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: In 1991 and 1993 I competed for the
SWAT Team. Both times the two-week tryouts took place in Camp Pendleton
and I was the only woman competing against 19 men. There were 40 SWAT
officers judging the process. Neither the competitors nor the SWAT
members wanted me there. I had to mentally, emotionally and physically
challenge myself everyday.

Three Words
to Describe You: Active, daring and charming.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: Colby or Rupert. They tried to play the
game fair and honest, but they didn’t have the physical ability to
perform. I would choose their game play and my physicality.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To experience life in an exciting and
challenging way. I want to discover who I am and see if I can really
outsmart everyone.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I have heart. Plus, I’m very
level-headed. I’m going to be calm and consistent when people are
breaking down.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I know that I have the will and the
skill to make it to the end. I have overcome a lot in life, and who you
are is how you play. I’m a winner.

5th place amongst several universities for the Honda Fit
Advertisement Campaign.
Inspiration
in Life: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, with his inspiration of enrollment
and empowerment in transforming people in non-violence movement, and
Winston Churchill. I know they contradict. However, Churchill is one of
the most sophisticated and insightful politicians who will go down in
history as one of the world’s most admired leaders.
Hobbies:
Snowboarding, writing and hiking.
Pet Peeves:
When people have poor follow-up skills.
Three Words
to Describe You: Fearless, unstoppable and empowering.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: Kristina on “Redemption Island,”
because she likes to take the lead and stands up for herself. I’m the
same way. My sense of humor, though, is very sarcastic and dry like
Francesca Hogi.

can do it and it looks like so much fun! I also hope this show will
bring my family closer together.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’m very great at delegating,
instructing, leading, organizing and problem-solving. I can build a
fire, fish, spear fish (sort of) and build shelter.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Survivor needs a funny, goofy and
cute Asian girl! It’s time to represent.

University of Florida Outstanding Female Leader Graduate in 1991,
Graduated with Honors from University of Minnesota Physical Therapy
School, Wife of University of Florida and nine-year NFL
Defensive Tackle, Brad Culpepper, and mother of three
straight-A students.
Inspiration
in Life: My husband, without a doubt! He is the hardest-working person I
know. He was not only an All-American Football player at
University of Florida, an Academic All-American, a Southeastern
Conference Hall of Famer and Vice President of the UF student body, but
also finished with a master’s degree. He won the prestigious
Campbell Award, making him the #1 scholar athlete in
the nation. Then he went on to the NFL, where he played for
nine seasons with the Vikings, Buccaneers and Bears. He was
All-Madden and the NFL’s Unsung Hero Award winner. While
playing in the NFL, he earned his law degree in the
"off-seasons." Now, he has his own law firm and
truly is a role model and a coach to me and many kids in our community. Best
part is… I helped build him!
Hobbies:
Kickboxing, hiking, skeet shooting, riding four wheelers, snowboarding,
wakeboarding, running, reading and volunteering in my community.
Pet Peeves:
People who are two-faced, unappreciative and lazy. Also, messy cars!
Three Words
to Describe You: Loyal, tenacious and gritty.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: I can relate to Tina Wesson, the first
female winner in 2001, because she was 40, had a career in the medical
field and was happily married.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I gave up my medical school and career
dreams when I met my husband in college and have devoted the rest of my
time to my family as a mother and a supportive spouse. It is my time to
“step out” and see what grit I am made of… I’m ready to show
I’m a Survivor!
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I am enthusiastic, pleasant to be
around and a great motivator. I’m like a chameleon; I can get along
with all kinds of people. Being great at multi-tasking, I am able to
process and calculate clearly under stress.

limb when it comes to getting something I want.
Name (Age):
Colton Cumbie (21)
Tribe
Designation: Manono
Current Residence: Monroeville, Ala.
Occupation:
College Student
Personal
Claim to Fame: I came out as gay when I was 12-years-old, in sixth
grade in South Alabama. My parents definitely did not run out to join
Parents of Lesbian and Gay (PFLAG), and it took a long time, but they
came around. It was weird at school, but I didn’t play the victim and
run home to cry. I stood up for myself and explained that being gay
wasn’t who I was but part of who I am.
Inspiration
in Life: My nanny/grandmother, who is technically my great-aunt, but she
and her husband took my mom in when she was 2 months old after her dad
abandoned her. My grandmother is the most amazing person I know. She is
literally my 73-year-old best friend! She has been there for me through
everything, definitely the biggest impact on who I am today.
Hobbies:
Socializing, watching reality TV and writing.
Pet Peeves:
Ugly people who think they’re hot.
Three Words
to Describe You: Adorable, entertaining and opinionated.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: As far as my personality goes, I would be
a mix of Queen Parvati, Corinne and JT. I embody three of their
distinctive traits: heartlessness (in a loveable way), low tolerance for
trash and that people hate me but still want to be my best friend.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want to play the game! The strategy, the
challenges, I want it all! I don’t care about the fame or whether
people love or hate me. I would love nothing more than to see my
verbally abusive stepdad’s reaction when I win a million dollars on
national TV.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I live my life as I if I’m
playing Survivor! I have a strategy for everything. Hell, the way I got
my boyfriend was a strategy.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I don’t believe, I know! There
has never been anyone with the social skills and charisma I possess on
this show. I’m confident, hilarious, athletic, good-looking, adorable
and I have good teeth with a hint of Southern charm. What more could you
want?
Name (Age):
Kat Edorsson (22)
Tribe
Designation: Salani
Current Residence: Orlando, Fla.
Occupation:
Timeshare Rep
Personal
Claim to Fame: I would have to say my accomplishments come from school
and work. Although I only work part-time, I am a top producer at my
company. I’m also working on my BS at University of Central Florida.
Inspiration
in Life: I am not the average girl who has a normal hero. Essentially,
if I were normal I would either choose Abraham Lincoln or Donald Trump,
but my hero is fiction. Her name is Xena. She is the warrior princess,
who serves as my alter ego. In her series she changes from simple farm
girl to an Amazon warrior, recognizing and pursing challenges for the
greater good. She is my hero and I could only wish I can be half the
woman she is.
Hobbies:
Riding horses, fishing, all sports.
Pet Peeves:
Long lines at the DMV, seat belts on airplanes, girly girls and small
children with leashes.
Three Words
to Describe You: Competitive, eager and passionate.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: Andrea is my favorite. She’s
blonde, a farm girl and loves a challenge. She was able to play and get
ahead in the game despite her sweet look on the outside, just like me
— for example, she wasn’t afraid to throw Matt under the bus to save
herself.
Reason for
Being on SURVIVOR: I want to conquer the challenges, proving not only
that I can survive the obstacles but that I will be the ultimate
survivor.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: My skills to manipulate and
socialize will ultimately help me survive Survivor. I have always taken
the “leader role” with my friends, family and co-workers. I build
relationships, talk my way out of tickets and socialize my way to the
top. My skill set is very strong and it comes to me naturally, like
breathing. I definitely think I will be an important member of the
group.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: My life has already played this
game and I won. I have faced life and death situations at a very young
age. I’m a fighter and I’ll never quit. I’m very good at getting
my way, talking people into things and ultimately marketing and selling myself.
I may be a 22-year-old blonde but I’m much tougher than I look. I want
to be the youngest female to ever win the game!

Pet Peeves:
Annoying eaters, bad breath, people who grunt while working out, and
people that “need” a cigarette.
Three Words
to Describe You: A leader, ambitious and organized.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: First, Ethan since he played a very
clean game and did very well, and Rupert, because I speak my mind from
my heart, not my head.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: It’s my mom’s dream (Survivor is her
favorite show) for me to be on and win. Also, I see it as my chance to
travel to a new part of the world.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I am a natural leader who knows
when to keep my mouth shut. People always listen to my opinions and I am
a hard worker. I am very much a people person and with all the
back-stabbing that goes on with Survivor, I don’t see it happening to
me.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I am a very driven person and can
usually get what I want. I am a natural leader but will gladly
step aside to take the spotlight off of me. I am also a very persuasive
person who has learned to keep your enemies close so that it’s easier
to control and predict their movements. I am unstoppable!

Personal
Claim to Fame: Smoking the best turkey, roasts and meats for big family
events. Also, meeting and working with Billy Barty and Mickey Rooney in
the same day.
Inspiration
in Life: My daughter, who I want to provide the best life for. My
closest family and friends, who have been there for me when I fall, and
pushed me higher when I succeed. My father-in-law, because he is a
perfect role model. Not only is he brilliant, selfless, dependable, but
he is also patient and always willing to give great advice.
Hobbies:
Paintballing, snowboarding and weight-lifting.
Pet Peeves:
Being taken advantage of and back-stabbers.
Three Words
to Describe You: Agile, adventurous and perseverant.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: Fabio, because his wit and skills were
misjudged and underestimated but he outplayed them all in the end.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To build my own self-confidence and to
become more knowledgeable on what to “survive” truly means.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I am knowledgeable about the
wilderness; I can tell direction without a compass regardless of day or
night. I can fish and build fire without using modern tools. I’m
definitely a handy man and very physically fit and strong.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Because I am beyond willing, ready
and able to “outwit, outplay and outlast” all the others.

known for turning nothing into something. I have experience
spear-fishing and hunting. I am also good at making people laugh to
lighten the mood.

how to play a smart game, love the outdoors and am easy to get along
with.
Name (Age):
Kourtney Moon (29)
Tribe
Designation: Salani
Current Residence: Austin, Texas
Occupation:
Motorcycle Repair
Personal
Claim to Fame: Easy – I grew a person inside my body, squeezed him out
of a tiny orifice and managed not to completely bomb at parenting (so
far). He’s actually the neatest person I know. Unrelated to making
human beings, I would have to say honestly, maintaining my sanity
through the mental and emotional torture I have endured in just the past
few years.
Inspiration
in Life: Life inspiration? I'd have to say there is no particular
person. There are many individuals who have taught me valuable lessons,
whether they meant to or not, and whether they had good intentions or
not. People who seek to truly be altruistic are huge inspirations for
me.
Hobbies:
Doing just about anything with my son, motorcycles, knitting, cocktails
and night time bike rides.
Pet Peeves:
I’ve had bad, bad experiences with people who have low moral codes. I
just have no patience for hypocrisy and folks who regularly enjoy the
smell of their own farts. Lack of respect for monogamy is a huge pet
peeve of mine, as well as people who chew others and spit them out
simply because they can... basically, sociopaths and narcissists.
Three Words
to Describe You: Creative, scatter-brained and impulsive.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: Jud and Courtney because they reacted or
handled situations the way I probably would have. They appeared to be
very genuine characters, knew what their attributes were and accepted
their shortcomings. They also seemed to maintain their sanity when
things got rough.
Reason for
Being on SURVIVOR: I need the money and want the experience. Traveling,
meeting new people, opening new doors, getting the hell out of the
Austin bubble for a little while… I severely need a drastic change in
my life, preferably one that won't kill me. I think I’m going to walk
away from this permanently changed… but for the better.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I have great diplomatic
skills and I’m a good mediator. I often see a person’s positive side
over the negative, which makes me very forgiving and accepting. I have
no problem leading, following or getting out of the way when
appropriate.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Because nothing in this world makes
any sense whatsoever and anything really is possible.

Pet Peeves:
People that constantly complain.
Three Words
to Describe You: Passionate, determined and motivated.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: Fabio. I'm perceived as being very
care-free on the outside, but on the inside I'm an intense competitor.
Reason for
Being on SURVIVOR: To prove to myself and family that I can do this and
to win the prize, of course.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I know how to fish, make fire,
shelter and cook amazing food.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I believe I could be the final
Survivor because I have a proven track record of doing what I set out to
achieve. I can make fire, build shelter, cook and get along with people
to win their votes.

education to making a life for himself through hard work.
Hobbies:
Photography, tennis and music.
Pet Peeves:
Clichés
Three Words
to Describe You: Funny, adaptable and persistent.
Reason for
Being on SURVIVOR: To push my mind and body to the limit.

intelligence, competitive spirit, ability to adapt and being a team
player.

great teammate and would do whatever it takes.
Name (Age):
Matt Quinlan (33)
Tribe
Designation: Manono
Current Residence: San Francisco, Calif.
Occupation:
Attorney
Personal
Claim to Fame: Starting my own law firm, the Law Offices of Matthew J.
Quinlan. I take my career and my commitment to my clients very
seriously. Being able to set up MJQLAW so that I can make a
difference in the lives of my clients is probably the thing I am most
proud of in my life.
Inspiration
in Life: I aim to maximize my potential in everything I do. It is
what keeps me pushing every day. Of course, “potential” is an
elusive thing, but I look forward to chasing it for the rest of my life.
Hobbies:
Golf, fitness and all things sports.
Pet Peeves: Complaining,
pessimism and over-the-top subjectivity.
Three Words
to Describe You: Ambitious, optimistic and dependable.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: I have seen a lot of Survivor and
can’t recall a past contestant that reminds me of myself, so I have to
answer this question with “nobody.” I don’t plan on playing
this game like any past Survivor. In fact, if someone’s plan is to
play like a past contestant they are probably both in over their heads
and in real trouble. If I have it my way, I will be playing a bold,
evolved and innovative game that I hope takes Survivor game play to its
inevitable next level.
Reason for
Being on SURVIVOR: Who wouldn’t want to be on Survivor? I
feel extremely fortunate to be given an opportunity that millions of
people would give anything for and won’t take it for granted for even
a minute. America will see me give everything I have to the game! I owe
that to myself and all the Survivor fans out there.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’ll die out there before
I quit. The only way I am leaving that island is with a tag on my toe or
with a snuffed torch.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I think I have a lot of attributes
that will help me succeed in the game: athleticism, charisma, smarts,
etc. That said, these things are also going to make me a target in
the game of Survivor, so figuring out how to use these traits in a
non-intimidating way will be the key to my success.

Claim to Fame: Completing my master’s degree, as I am the first in my

strive and work hard so that one day I might be considered an
inspiration to someone.
Hobbies:
Singing, running and spending money.
Pet Peeves:
Bad manners (burping, farting), rushing and people who talk about
themselves.
Three Words
to Describe You: Confident, funny and ambitious.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: Jenna Morasca from Season One, because she
was the underdog; though she wasn’t necessarily strong, she was
definitely a strategist.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I’ll make good TV.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’m educated, intelligent and
can strategize.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: People will underestimate me
because of my good looks, and I will show everyone how powerful I can be
by using them to my advantage.

Occupation:

Personal
Claim to Fame: Adopting and raising my family of 12 marmoset monkeys.

outspoken social activist who crossed the racial limits.

Pet Peeves:
People that constantly text while I’m having a conversation with them,
bad drivers and women with manly hands.
Three Words
to Describe You: Adventurous, determined and entertaining.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: If I were to be totally honest I’d have
to say I relate to no one. I’m Troy Robertson, I’m like nobody else!
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I need this challenge for myself more than
you will ever know! I want to know “how” and “who” I am in a
major competition like this. This show is all I have thought about and
concentrated on in the past 11 years! I need to know dreams come true.
Why You
Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’m a true outdoorsman. I can
make a fire with two sticks. I am a swimmer and a natural-born leader. I
have the ability to make people the best they can be. I have great
animal instincts and swim like a dolphin.
Why You
Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I believe it’s my destiny.
Truthfully, because I believe 100% that Survivor was created for me.
I’ve been waiting 10 years and nothing will stop me! I have the skills
and energy for every single category played on Survivor. There is not a
single person on this planet more suited for this adventure!

contretemps, I hope to outwit, outplay, outlast.

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).
Three Words
to Describe You: Passionate, warm and funny/awkward.
SURVIVOR
Contestant You Are Most Like: Probably Stephenie LaGrossa from
Palau, because she’s a bad-ass (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

She’s likable but it’s definitely about business. I appreciate her

personalities since I teach high school in Brooklyn, and my athleticism
