In preparation for Survivor 35: Heroes vs. Healers, vs. Hustlers, I decided to do some pre-show first impression blogs for the upcoming cast. There are obvious cast and tribe division spoilers (but no boot/elimination spoilers). Basically, judge them based on first impressions, already leaked Survivor videos of them (pre-show interviews, season 34 finale promo) or whatever criteria you wish.

Simone Nguyen
Yawa (Hustlers) tribe
25 路 NEW YORK, NY 路 PROGRAM ASSOCIATE
Simone is the token Asian castaway for this season and is extremely beautiful ... and also intelligent. She works for the Asian American Bar Association in New York and graduated from Colombia University where she studied English and Comparative Literature and East Asian Languages and Cultures with a special interest in ethnic literature and post-war culture. Like her favorite actress Viola Davis, she is an Upward Bound Scholar. She just had LASEK surgery on Inauguration day so she wouldn't have to watch it, only to "see the world implode". She IS a fan of Kass and is not a fan of Michele Fitzgerald and live tweeted during the KR finale "Michelle was the least deserving #Survivor of the four. Zero strategy. What a waste of time. #SurvivorFinale". Unlike some of her tribe mates, she is actually a Survivor fan and is also a big Harry Potter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan.
