Maria Shrime Gonzalez Survivor 46
Gonzalez is a contestant from Survivor 46. She is the oldest contestant to compete on Survivor 46. She will be competing in the season alongside Liz Wilcox, Charlie Davis, Soda Thompson, Venus Vafa, Tim Spicer, Bhanu Gopal, Tim Spicer, and Ben Katzman among others.
Before the start of filming for Survivor season 46, she participated in an interview where the following questions were presented to her:
Name three of your favorite hobbies: Traveling, running, and spending time with friends.
List three adjectives that best describe yourself: Determined, Loyal, Resilient.
How would your friends describe you? My friends would describe me as funny, compassionate, fiercely loyal, a good friend, determined, resilient, persistent, organized, authentic, and incredibly competitive.
What risks have you taken in your life to make a change for the better, even if the outcome wasn’t planned? After college and before grad school, I moved to Costa Rica to volunteer with WorldTeach as an English teacher. That year was one of the most transformative years of my life. I learned to thrive in an environment that was vastly different from the comfort I knew at home.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I have so many accomplishments that I am incredibly proud of but I would say birthing my three children at home, on my terms, without medication, and interruptions was the most empowering moment for me. There is nothing that can compare to a woman’s strength when she gives birth and having the perseverance to do it the way I wanted was an experience I will never forget.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I ate sheep’s head in Morocco (I’ll try most things once), was Ms. February in a salsa vixen swimsuit calendar, got lost on the Champs Elysees in Paris when I was a little girl, never learned how to whistle growing up, and have an obsession with untying knots.
What past Survivor would you play the game most like? Drea Wheeler, Natalie Anderson.
