Name: Kelly Bruno (26) Tribe: La Flor Current Residence: Durham, N.C. Occupation: Medical Student at University of North Carolina Personal Claim to Fame: Becoming the second and fastest female amputee to finish the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii in 2007. Inspiration in Life: My father who was recently killed in the earthquake in Haiti. He was there with Food for the Poor to bring hope and aid to people less fortunate. My dad was a doctor, a teacher and a humanist. I most admired him and looked up to him for his willingness to help others. He lived his life to the fullest every single day. His legacy will be carried on by all of the lives he touched during his life. Hobbies: Triathlons, cooking and traveling. Pet Peeves: When people chew ice or blow bubbles in an otherwise quiet room. 3 Words to Describe You: Determined, persistent and strong-willed. SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Christy Smith because she also faced a physical disadvantage that, in the end, gave her additional strength. I also relate to Helen Glover's no-nonsense-appeal as that is how I approach my own life; with a no-nonsense attitude. Reason for being on SURVIVOR: The challenge and the competition; I also want to honor my father who has been a strong influence in overcoming many of the challenges I've faced as an amputee and in life. Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: I'm physically and mentally strong. I've overcome obstacles before when the odds were stacked up against me and I can do it again.

I really like this girl, not just because of all the difficulties she has to over come but mainly because of her pet peeves.. chewing ice and blowing bubbles!!! She is my young one to win it!!!

I'd like to root for her so I hope she's as real as she seems here.

I don't think anyone wants to face her in the final 2 or 3, and when they see that she's a real athlete, they won't want to face her in individual competitions. I think she's a mid-game vote-out.
