Eliza SURVIVOR: VANUATU Age: 25 Home Town: New York, NY Occupation: Law School Student Bio: Eliza Orlins was born in New York City to parents Susan and Steve. She grew up splitting her time between NYC and China. When she was four years old, she and her parents went to Beijing where they adopted her sister, Sabrina. Sixteen months later, her youngest sister, Emily, was born. Her father's career moved them to Hong Kong where she spent two years attending Hong Kong International School. Her family then moved back to New York until 1995 when they moved to Washington, D.C. In 2001, Orlins graduated from the Sidwell Friends School where she ran varsity track and cross country. She also completed the Marine Corps Marathon with the AIDS Marathon Training Program her junior year. At Sidwell, she also wrote and edited for the school newspaper and was the assistant director of the spring musical "Damn Yankees." In 2005, Orlins graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Syracuse University in international relations and political science and a minor in Chinese. At Syracuse, she was a Dean's Scholar and made Dean's List every semester. Orlins also received Phi Beta Kappa honors upon her graduation. As a member of Alpha Phi Sorority, she was the vice president of New Member Recruitment, for which her chapter won the award for best overall recruitment at their national convention. Orlins is currently a third-year student at Fordham University School of Law and will graduate with her J.D. in December of 2008. At Fordham, Orlins participates in many school activities. She describes herself as insanely over-committed, but happy. She is the Co-Intraschool Editor of the Brendan Moore Trial Advocates (Fordham's Mock Trial Team), the Co-Symposium Editor for the Urban Law Journal and the President of the Fordham Law Democrats. For the Moores, Orlins has competed in multiple trial advocacy competitions, bringing home an individual award for Best Opening Statement at the National Trial Advocacy Competition held at Michigan State University in Fall 2006. For the Urban Law Journal, Orlins and her co-editor are currently planning a symposium on the constitutionality of lethal injection. Orlins has worked for the Legal Aid Society, criminal defense division, Onondaga County District Attorney's Office, a large New York law firm, and interned for a New York Supreme Court Judge. Orlins describes herself as an intense, vivacious, driven and politically-active woman who loves reality television, sports, especially New York and Syracuse teams, and her puppy Oscar. She says she brings her competitive nature, athleticism and enthusiasm to SURVIVOR. Orlins currently lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend Justin and her Yorkshire Terrier, Oscar. Her birth date is December 25, 1982.

She played badly. I remember thinking that if she'd made a few different moves, she'd have been in the final two. But she was barely 21 the first time around, so maybe she's grown a bit.

I thought she was already an attorney when she was on her first Survivor. Wouldn't that put her well past 21? Not only did she play badly, she was annoying and she never shut up. Remember when they sent the guy over from the other tribe and she got in his face and never shut up the entire time he was there? She wouldn't even stop long enough for other tribe members to have a chance to talk with him.

She's 25 now, and I remember thinking of her as really young when she was on and that she was a student. I remember her pic at CBS being attractive, but herself on the show looking like a gaunt teenager. And of course, she played the game badly...she was one of those players that us dedicants yell at the screen about...she could've been a power player, but she turned out to be a dud....I really hope she does better this time around.., because she is very good-looking, and it'd be nice to keep her around for awhile for ascetic reasons for us hetero-guys.

Well, she came in 4th and Chris beat all 6 of the girls when he was down 6 to 1, so she's not the only one who played badly at the end. Ami was out 6th that season. And make that another vote for the aesthetic reasons!

Bring your earplugs then unless you like to listen to constant chatter and I don't think I've ever met a man who did.

She came in 4th? I didn't remember her placing that high. I guess I'm getting old & my memory is going bad. I also don't remember her being a big chatterbox...I guess I'll just have to watch and make new assessments

After episode 1, she really isn't that likable. She seems arrogant, and to be a bit of a "know it all".
