NAME: Matthew “Matt” Hayford (24)
TRIBE DESIGNATION: TBA
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Pattersonville, OH
OCCUPATION: Student
PERSONAL CLAIM TO FAME: Winning my high school talent show my senior year. I sang “This Woman’s Work”, and I got like four messages from girls that night. Time of my life.
INSPIRATION IN LIFE: I’ve been inspired by many people in my life. But no one more than my brother. At 17, he was told he had 6 months to live. And so he graduated from high school early, and started traveling the world. Well, 5 years went by, and he never passed away. He finished traveling the world and when I told him that I was going to be on the show, he said to me, “It’s your turn. Make it to the family visit and I’ll come out for you.”
HOBBIES: Traveling, putting in long nights at the library, reading, and beer-drinking.
PET PEEVES: I hate it when people chew with their mouths open. Literally the only thing that bothers me is that.
3 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOU: Tough, outrageous, and adventurous.
REASON FOR BEING ON SURVIVOR: It’s my turn to have a life-changing experience and this is it for me. I’m ready to show everyone what I got.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU’LL “SURVIVE” SURVIVOR: I’m built to withstand tough conditions. I like to camp and explore hiking trails, and just be at peace with nature.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU’LL BE THE SOLE SURVIVOR: I think I can win this game because of mental toughness. If you don’t know what you’re made of, you’re gonna crumble out here.
