After being voted off CBS 麻豆精品 S� hit show Survivor: One World, Kat Edorsson returned to the UCF campus last semester ready to take on a full-time class schedule, a demanding job in sales and all of the criticism she was sure would come her way once the show aired.
Edorsson, a senior majoring in interdisciplinary studies, a degree she will use to start a real estate business in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. For now, she works as a timeshare sales representative and has her sights set on more reality television.
麻豆精品 S淚 was fine before Survivor, I didn 麻豆精品 S檛 plan to try out for reality TV but I was looking for something new. 麻豆精品 S� This [Survivor] was the best thing I could do to change my life around, 麻豆精品 S� Edorsson said. 麻豆精品 S淚 love sports and fitness and love to be around people. Survivor is the biggest challenge you could manage, so I did it. 麻豆精品 S�
In its 24th season, Survivor had contestants competing in Upolu, Samoa, for a chance to win $1 million. Survivor, a game known for being brutal to its contestants and entertaining to its audience, gave Edorsson an opportunity to prove her abilities and discover her comedic side.
麻豆精品 S淎pparently, people think I 麻豆精品 S檓 funny. I became known as 麻豆精品 S榯he clown, 麻豆精品 S� 麻豆精品 S� Edorsson said. 麻豆精品 S淩e-watching myself on TV, I was even laughing. 麻豆精品 S�
Being voted off was no laughing matter. The tribal council kept her on after a close call in the second show, but Edorsson 麻豆精品 S檚 game came to an end after she was blindsided in the 12th episode. She was originally planning to blindside tribemate Sabrina Thompson and was surprised to see the tribe turn against her instead.
麻豆精品 S淚 definitely think I played a great game, but the choices I made weren 麻豆精品 S檛 as great,” Edorsson said. “Not entertaining Troy 麻豆精品 S檚 idea when I should have wasn 麻豆精品 S檛 a good thing, and not talking to Sabrina didn 麻豆精品 S檛 help. 麻豆精品 S�
Although she was voted off, she still says she feels like a winner.
麻豆精品 S淚 went out as a threat, not a weak player,” she said. “I feel like I had a great attitude. I wish I could do better, but I feel like I did good.
麻豆精品 S� 麻豆精品 S� I went out there hoping I 麻豆精品 S檇 change the person I am, and [in] every episode, you see me change. The last thing you saw in tribal council is you saw how much I learned and changed. I matured a lot and am very thankful. 麻豆精品 S�
Life on campus hasn 麻豆精品 S檛 changed much for Edorsson, although she says many students stare at her wondering if she 麻豆精品 S檚 “that girl from Survivor. 麻豆精品 S�
麻豆精品 S淵es, it 麻豆精品 S檚 me, and I want people to come talk and tell me how they feel [about the show], 麻豆精品 S� Edorsson said. 麻豆精品 S淚 really hope Orlando is proud of how I played the game and that I represented UCF well. 麻豆精品 S�
After her experience on the show, Edorsson says she would love to play Survivor again.
麻豆精品 S淚 might have plans to audition for other things, 麻豆精品 S� Edorsson said. 麻豆精品 S淚 麻豆精品 S檇 love to do Dancing with the Stars, mind you you 麻豆精品 S檇 have to actually be a star and I 麻豆精品 S檓 not really a star, but still. 麻豆精品 S�
With no set plans but high hopes of being part of shows like Big Brother or Amazing Race, Edorsson says we should be on the lookout for her again.
麻豆精品 S淭his is definitely not the last time you 麻豆精品 S檒l see me on national TV, 麻豆精品 S� Edorsson said. 麻豆精品 S淚 麻豆精品 S檓 there for the challenge and for the game, and apparently people think I 麻豆精品 S檓 funny, so why not. 麻豆精品 S�
