Chicago teacher competes in 'Survivor: One World'
The 25-year-old special education teacher is one of 18 castaways that CBS introduced Wednesday. She thinks she has what it takes to outlast everyone else.
"I am a triple threat--boobs, booty and I can sing," she said in a CBS video preview for the show. In press materials, she said, "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."
This time around, the 24th edition if you're counting, the castaways will be divided into two teams, men (Manono tribe) versus women (Salani), but both teams will share the same beach and camp in Samoa. Redemption Island is gone this season, which means more reward challenges for the contestants.

Add / View comments | Discussion FAQa teacher? seriously? worse yet--a "special ed" teacher! what desperate and deprived school district would spend five minutes with this individual and decide SHE'S the person they want educating their students? She claims she "aspires" to be an inspiration to someone. Well she's blown it again. First, as an educator she has a great opportunity to be an inspiration so she's either failed at it OR she's blind or indifferent to the impact she may have on her students. Perhaps she's mistaken "being popular" with being an inspiration. And now, instead of using her stint on Survivor to really inspire young women to cultivate & rely on their intelligence, education, strength & independence, she chooses to credit her good looks, booty, & boobs as reasons she'll succeed on Survivor. My advice? find another outlet. Good looks, booty & boobs don't make for successful teacher or a Survivor winner.
No heros in her life=father issues and yet she wants people to be inspired by her. okkkkkkkkk
Spending Money is not a habit, it's an addiction.
Either way, with this attitude, odds are she'll be gone in with 3 weeks.
