Occupation: Children Adventure Guide for the Deaf
Hometown: Basalt, CO

Christy Smith attended high school and college in Washington, D.C.,
where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in

skills). Her primary motives for being on SURVIVOR are to promote
awareness for the deaf…and win $1 million. Her favorite hobbies are
socializing, doing anything outdoors and writing letters. She has
traveled to Costa Rica and spent 50 days on a wilderness adventure
trip in Alaska with Outward Bound. She describes herself as
succulent, independent and goal-oriented. She is most proud of the
time she has spent working with juvenile delinquents where she
taught them how to work in groups to develop growth and self
esteem.

State, Fullerton and a Juris Doctor from the University of Minnesota.
She would like to be a Superior Court Judge (and has since the 4TH

and dive the Great Barrier Reef. She describes herself as spirited,
adventurous and intense. She is most proud of being a mom despite
her career accomplishments. If given the choice of being a superhero,
she'd want to be Batman because he has all the cool toys and Alfred
("Every mommy in the world needs an Alfred."). Her hero is her
husband, Paul, who works as a sheriff's deputy. If she wins the $1

Jumprope and teddy bear are pretty smart luxury items.... always can use rope and that teddy could sub nicely as a pillow (which would be my main problem with sleeping rough- no pillow )

I like this group as a whole on paper.... have to see if they pan out in reality. :)

And what's with the Jenna, Joanna, Janet, Jeanne??? How confusing is that going to be to keep names straight??!!??
