And then there are those that lie right out of the gate.
Maybe its about their age.
Or how much they know about the game.
Or maybe its about all three!
While some professed to be an open book, others werent quite so ready to spill the proverbial beans.
Gavin WhitsonI think Im not like most super-fans.
I typically dont fall into the look that they go for.
So, Im gonna use that to my advantage.
Im not gonna act like I know the game as well as I do.
They dont need to know Im a super-fan.
Im here on vacation for all they know.
Julie RosenbergI question whether or not I should let people know that Ive applied for 17 years.
I think being a super-fan of the show could put you at a disadvantage.
I did think I was going to lie about my age, but now Ive decided not to.
Theres definitely some very young-looking people.
I feel like I definitely could be their mother.
Like, What kind of an arrogant dude would name a school after himself?
Which I actually didnt.
I hope no one asks me that.
Ill have to lie.
Im going to say the name of it is RCA.
Then if they say, What does that stand for?
Ill say, Oh, rigor, commitment, and attitude.
Ill just come up with something boring so theyll stop listening.
I almost want them to underestimate me because I think that thats where I can shine.
I dont want to worry about having to not let something slip.
I dont want them to think that Im part of Sandra Diaz.
Sandra Diaz is a two-time winner.
Theyre automatically going to be like, Oh, yeah, shes part of the Diaz clan.
So Im just going to lie about that, but its not because Im ashamed of anything.
Its just I dont want them to vote me off for something that Im not in control of.
Im going to say my name is Wendy Days because Diaz in Spanish is Days [in English].
Dan DaSilva (a.k.a.
For some reason, lawyers and cops are the two most threatened jobs inSurvivor.
Its something that doesnt make sense.
No, youre a doctor.
Youre a good person.
But youre a lawyer or a cop?
Its just the worst.
Aurora McCrearyIm definitely 100 percent me at all times.
I dont know how to be anything else.
I think Im a good liar and Im still going to lie.
How much does it really tear apart that other person?
Chris UnderwoodIm in door to door sales.
I manage a team that knocks on doors for commission.
So, theres techniques.
I train people on the art of persuasion.
I train people on that stuff.
Do I want anyone out here to know that?
But the good thing is, I grew up by the water.
My uncle owns a diving company.
Victoria BaamondeI dont want anyone to think Im smart.
I dont want anyone to see me as a strategic threat.
At least not off the bat.
Which does make you a threat, at least later in the game.
Reem DalyI dont need to sit there and be like, Me, me, me the whole time.
I think people like to talk about themselves more than hearing about somebody.
They kind of tune out after a while.
But do it with sincerity, because I do like learning about people.
I could talk to a wall for hours.
I just like to talk to people.
Eric HafemannIm gonna be pretty open.
I think to build trust, you have to be that way.
At least I do.
I dont think I have the capacity to live a total false identity out here.
Im not that good at lying.
I dont want to squander it, I actually do want to get to know them.
I want them to get to know me.
Im gonna be really open in that sense.
I really do want to win.
