00:04 >> My name's Austin.

00:05 I'm going to win Survivor 45 because not only my physical threat,

00:08 but I've also got the strategic game and the social game to back it.

00:11 In fact, I think my physical game will be the weakest of the three,

00:14 so I'm really excited to see how this goes.

00:16 >> My name's Brando, and I will win Survivor 45

00:19 because I have an insane attention to detail.

00:22 As a software developer,

00:23 I spend a lot of my time digging through code and looking for bugs,

00:27 and that's something that's really going to help me excel out here.

00:29 >> My name is Brandon Donlan,

00:30 and I'm going to win Survivor 45 because in the words of one of my heroes,

00:34 Tyson Apostle, "I'm a good guy to be around."

00:36 >> My name is Bruce Perrault,

00:38 and I'll win Survivor 45 because I love this game,

00:41 and I'm listening, and I'm seeing what's going on,

00:43 and I'm going to read people,

00:44 pit them against each other,

00:45 and utilize their strengths and weaknesses to help me out.

00:49 >> My name is Divya Dariz,

00:51 and I'm going to win Survivor because I'm going to have the biggest heart out there.

00:54 >> My name is Drew. I'm going to win Survivor 45 because I'm smart,

00:58 I'm well-spoken, I'm sociable,

01:01 and the trifecta of these three things is going to carry me right to the end.

01:04 >> My name's Emily, and I'm going to win Survivor 45 because I'm

01:08 a player who doesn't have a lot of skill sets that would make me a target early on,

01:13 but a lot of these soft skills that are going to slowly wear on people over time,

01:17 really get in there, and then I'll sneak to the finish line without anybody realizing.

01:21 >> My name is Hannah Rose,

01:22 and I'm going to win Survivor 45 because I have

01:26 enough people skills to just read people and know what they're thinking,

01:30 and get ahead of the game.

01:31 >> My name is Jake,

01:32 and I will win Survivor because I am strong,

01:35 I'm intelligent, I'm social.

01:37 I'm going to bring all these different factors to the table.

01:39 Am I stronger than anyone else here?

01:41 Probably a couple of people.

01:43 Am I more intelligent than other people here?

01:45 Probably a couple.

01:46 Am I more social than other people here?

01:48 Probably a couple, but obviously not all.

01:50 It's about having different strengths in different areas,

01:52 but obviously not maxing out your threat level in any one of those areas.

01:55 That's what I think I bring to the table.

01:57 >> Hi, I'm Jay,

01:58 and I will win Survivor 45 because I'm adaptable.

02:01 I've operated in a ton of different spheres in my life.

02:03 I've always made it through with hard work and a can-do attitude.

02:08 I take big risks when I need to, and they pay off.

02:13 >> Hi, my name is Julie,

02:14 and I will win Survivor 45 if the Survivor gods deem it so,

02:20 because some of the best players out there have not won.

02:23 But I think I'm going to win,

02:27 one, because I want it very badly,

02:30 and I made it this far.

02:31 So I'm going to use that to win it all.

02:35 You're probably going to ask, what's your strategy?

02:38 It's just the hardest question.

02:41 I think it's one,

02:43 I really am excited to get to know these other players.

02:47 I know what it took me to get here,

02:50 to be on the show.

02:51 So I want to know their story, honestly.

02:55 I really want to know,

02:56 and I want to build those connections.

02:59 I know I'm going to have to vote them off in order to win.

03:03 But part of my strategy is,

03:05 I don't want them to want to vote me off.

03:09 I want to be needed.

03:10 I want to work hard.

03:12 I want to build their trust.

03:13 I think I'm going to win.

03:14 >> My name's Caleb. I'm going to win Survivor 45

03:16 because even though I might not be the brawniest,

03:19 although I'm pretty athletic and I might not be the smartest,

03:22 although I do okay,

03:23 what I'm really great at is getting people to listen.

03:26 Is getting people to come onto my side

03:29 and really understanding what motivates them

03:31 and keeping their self-interest at heart.

03:33 So I think what's going to make me go really,

03:35 really far and then eventually win this game

03:37 is not only the fact that I'll understand

03:38 how to make things happen when I need to on the show,

03:40 but then also understanding what they're looking for at the end

03:43 in order to vote for a winner.

03:44 >> My name is Keturah,

03:46 and I'm going to win Survivor 45

03:48 because there is no other person

03:51 that has all the skills and tools

03:53 that I have to win this game.

03:54 >> Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm going to win Survivor 45

03:58 because as a critical care nurse,

04:00 I'm super used to being in an inherently stressful

04:03 and chaotic environment.

04:05 And not only am I used to being in that environment,

04:07 but I'm used to using my brain,

04:09 being physically exhausted on a 12-hour shift.

04:12 I work three years of night shift.

04:13 I oftentimes can't take a break to go eat,

04:16 you know, if someone's crashing.

04:18 And when I think of nurses,

04:20 I think you think of someone who has great emotional intelligence

04:22 and really good bedside manner.

04:23 And connecting with people in a hyper-vulnerable,

04:27 scary place is a skill set that I have

04:29 and that I think I can really use out here to my advantage.

04:32 >> I'm Kendra, and I will win Survivor 45

04:35 because I'm determined and use my gut in sync

04:39 to make decisions, which are pretty much always right.

04:42 >> My name is Sabaya, and I'll win Survivor 45

04:45 because I am a Marine veteran.

04:48 I served in the Marines for four years, active duty,

04:53 and traveled all around the world.

04:56 But the main thing that this is comparable to,

04:59 I feel like, is boot camp.

05:01 It's, you know, you're leaving home.

05:03 You don't really know how long you're going to be gone.

05:06 You know, you're going to be stuck with a bunch of people

05:08 in the middle of somewhere doing a lot of stuff

05:11 that you felt like you couldn't do when you got there.

05:13 We call it the machine, kind of.

05:15 Everybody that goes in comes out a Marine,

05:18 and everybody that goes into the island, you know,

05:21 comes out a part of the Survivor family.

05:23 And you, in my case, the winner.

05:26 So I'm very, very excited to just let the elements

05:32 kind of mold and shape me

05:34 into what the Survivor 45 winner looks like.

05:38 So I feel very prepared for mosquitoes.

05:42 I mean, we got mosquitoes in Parris Island.

05:45 We got, you know, mean drill instructors

05:47 that are a lot more nice than Jeff, you know?

05:51 And you have, you know, some of the meanest,

05:53 toughest ladies that wear their uniforms every day,

05:57 you know, me being one of them.

05:59 So I'm excited. I'm really excited.

06:02 -My name is Sean, and I'm going to win Season 45 of Survivor

06:07 because I know how to build and make connections with people

06:12 that I can leverage to get me way into the game,

06:15 ultimately, to win.

06:17 -My name is Sifu, and I will win Survivor 45

06:19 because I have the grit, determination,

06:21 and drive to do this.

06:23 I'm going to put my all on the line for myself, for my family.

06:27 I want to gain a new perspective out here on the island,

06:29 and I know I'm going to do that and push myself

06:31 as hard as possible to gain that sole Survivor title.
