Name: Dee

Age: 29
Occupation: Customer Service
Hometown: Auckland

What survival experience in the outdoors do you have?

I know Doritos work great as a fire starter and that it is possible to steal a fish from a seagull.

Name: Sala
Age: 40
Occupation: Youth Worker
Hometown: Christchurch

Why do you think you should win Survivor?

I will do my best to play with honour and not stray from who I am. To represent my whanau to the best of my ability.

Name: Mike

Age: 27
Occupation: Business Analyst
Hometown: Tauranga

Why are you doing Survivor?

It’s been my dream to do the show since I saw the very first season of Survivor. I feel that I’ve got all of the skills that the winner of Survivor needs: physical, social, stamina, and mental strength. I’m strategic, like big challenges, and like being pushed to my limit.

Name: Barb

Age: 53
Occupation: Mum
Hometown: Auckland

What’s your strategy on the island?

To stay true, I don’t want to be in an alliance until I have seen the personalities and emotional intelligence of my tribe. I’d rather play as an individual as I know my worth and trust my own perception and intuition rather than be in a herd. My strength is knowing how to sway people in a way that will move me forward and make them feel secure whilst underestimating me.
