i'm a survivor fanatic. i've been watching since the australian outback. i have seen every season at least twice, some into the double digits. it is more than just a show for me, it is a passion. i used to be a summer camp counselor. i was an archery instructor for five years. all the time i would just pretend i was shooting against lex, matt, or yau man.and like my favorite book, ender's game, i love the manipulate of people. the human chess that takes place on a daily life that is hyperfocused on and amplified in this game. bottom line, the worst thing that could happen to stranded in namibia is me not being in it.
What personality types do you typically clash with?
indecisive people. drives me crazy. make up your damn mind. i also can't stand people who will try their best to be your best friend to your face but then immediately start trashing you behind your back the moment you're not by their side. people that will attack you as a persona as a means to get ahead. attack my merits, my accomplishments? fine, whatever. attack who i am as an individual? go f yourself.
Kristina is maybe *the* most eager player in the cast. This is the type of person that lives, breathes and sleeps Survivor. Has met RL Survivors, quit a job once to go on a casting call, that level of passion for the thing. My biggest worry for Kristina is that she might overplay early out of sheer enthusiasm. She is aware of this, as she is aware of a dozen other strategies
Her mind seems to run at a mile per minute and could be quick to get emotional despite herself - her other danger is that this could be very easily manipulated by a calmer and more rational player. Can she win? Maybe. She'll need to catch a few lucky breaks along the way to allow for if, and when, she gets sloppy. OTOH, she should makes friends and allies very quickly and easily and that could be what pushes her from also-ran to solid contender. She is one of many first-time ORGers in the cast but maybe the one I'm most excited for - her own excitement is infectious and spills out of her app.
Now THAT'S enthusiasm.
