Kat Edorsson from "Survivor: One World" is one of the contestants on Season 24 of the CBS reality competition series. She is a 22-year-old timeshare representative from Orlando, Florida. She starts off the season as part of the Salani tribe.
Kat Edorsson ("Survivor 2012") describes herself as competitive, eager and passionate. Although she only works part time, she is a top producer at her company. She is also working on her B.S. degree at University of Central Florida. She enjoys riding horses, fishing, and playing all sports. Her pet peeves include long lines at the DMV, seat belts on airplanes, girly girls and small children with leashes.
When asked who her inspiration in life is, she says, "I am not the average girl who has a normal hero. Essentially, if I were normal I would either choose Abraham Lincoln or Donald Trump, but my hero is fiction. Her name is Xena. She is the warrior princess, who serves as my alter ego. In her series, she changes from simple farm girl to an Amazon warrior, recognizing and pursing challenges for the greater good. She is my hero and I could only wish I can be half the woman she is."
Which "Survivor" contestant does Edorsson think she is most like? "Andrea is my favorite. She's blonde, a farm girl and loves a challenge. She was able to play and get ahead in the game despite her sweet look on the outside, just like me — for example, she wasn't afraid to throw Matt under the bus to save herself."
Edorsson applied to be a contestant because "I want to conquer the challenges, proving not only that I can survive the obstacles but that I will be the ultimate survivor." She thinks she will survive on the show because "My skills to manipulate and socialize will ultimately help me survive 'Survivor.' I have always taken the 'leader role' with my friends, family and co-workers. I build relationships, talk my way out of tickets, and socialize my way to the top. My skill set is very strong and it comes to me naturally, like breathing. I definitely think I will be an important member of the group."
Edorsson believes she will ultimately win because "My life has already played this game and I won. I have faced life and death situations at a very young age. I'm a fighter and I'll never quit. I'm very good at getting my way, talking people into things and ultimately marketing and selling myself. I may be a 22-year-old blonde but I'm much tougher than I look. I want to be the youngest female to ever win the game!"
