Biography
Name (Age): Amy Chen (40s)

Tribe Designation: TBA

Current Residence:

Occupation: Mother/Tutor

Claim to Fame: My children are my claim to fame. Pretty much everything else in my life has been a failure. I tried to become a doctor and failed. I tried to create a school and I failed. The list goes on and on. But the one thing I don't think I've screwed up is my kids... Yet!

Inspiration in Life: My husband. He supported me when I was pursuing all those failed dreams, and he helped me up when they fell apart. He also provided me with the means to get back on my feet. I think it's safe to say that without him, I'd basically be homeless.

Hobbies: Teaching children, reading, and yoga. Basically just typical mom stuff!

Pet Peeves: Disrespectful people and people who assume my businesses will fail because I'm a woman. No, my businesses will fail because I'm incompetent. Gender has nothing to do with it!

3 Words to Describe You: I can't really sum myself up in three words. I guess positive, motherly, and creative would be a good description.

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: My two beautiful children and my husband! I'd miss them during the 39 days. I guess if I had to choose actual physical items, I'd choose the Daily Crossword to keep my mind intact, a yoga mat to stay fit, and sunscreen, because my skin is surprisingly fair.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: Laura Morett. She was a motherly figure, a strategic goddess, and a challenge beast! These are all characteristics I see in myself... Aside from maybe the challenge beast part. But if there's a yoga competition, you can bet that I'd win it!

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I want to prove that I can do something in life, and that I'm not just defined by failed business ventures. I may be a failure in some things, but I'm not a failure at everything!

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I think I'm good at camping... At least I hope I am. I've never tried it before! I've lived in the city my whole life and just recently moved to the suburbs for the first time, but really, how hard can it be? I'm a very "nose to the grindstone" type person, and I think I could actually pull this off!

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: People are gonna underestimate me and think I'm just your stereotypical tiger mom, when in reality, I'm a tiger mom... Who understands kids! I'll align myself with the younger people, who will appreciate me for my sunny outlook on life and my fun personality. The first few days will be the hardest, but I think if I get through those first few Tribals, nothing will be able to stop me!
