S36: Desiree Afuye

[Whimsy]

Desiree Afuye (Naviti Tribe)

Age: 21
Hometown: Newark, New Jersey
Current residence: Brooklyn, New York
Occupation: Student

Three words to describe you: Unbreakable, driven, and real.

Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor?
I currently live in a house of eight girls. I know how to deal with seven different versions of crazy and different personalities. I am constantly settling issues in the house and running the house meetings, not only does this make me sociable, it makes me likable and adaptable.

I have good experience in sports, having played basketball for most of high school and I work out at my college gym. I'm putting myself through school with grants and academic scholarships while my parents are in Nigeria and I am an asset to any team.

Desiree seems like a strong player, both physically and mentally.  I don't understand why she's not getting more visibility.  The other players don't really seem to be noticing her either.

Well she is apparently very close to Chelsea out there so maybe her invisibility is contagious?

[LadyChatts]

Much like Chelsea, Des has me intrigued.  I think she's more Naviti strong because right now it benefits her, but if she saw a better opportunity or could further her game by flipping, I think she would.  She seems to be thinking ahead, but thinking for the moment, too.  She didn't seem to care about Michael finding the idol, and I wonder if it's because she would have rather booted Angela over him.  Kellyn likely would have wanted to vote for Michael, but Des might have been able to work that to her advantage. 

Hopefully when the merge happens, we get to see more gameplay from some of these castaways that are under the radar right now, rather than hearing about Naviti strong and Chris vs Dom.

I don't really see Des being how you're seeing her, but it's certainly possible. And I really hope you're right because I wanna like her and she's on my fantasy team so I want her to do well.
