Tyson Apostol
29
| Lindon, UT |
Professional Cyclist
Witty, charming
and arrogant is how Tyson Apostol describes himself. This
former pro-cyclist and swimmer believes that his natural
athleticism, combined with his "life of the party"
personality, will get him far in he game. His favorite movie
is "The Jerk" and that’s how some people just might describe
him.
He compares his game strategy to that of some of the most
entertaining castaways to ever play the game. Much like
them, he is willing to do almost anything to win one million
dollars, including implementing the use of lies and deceit
to feed off the "emotional weakness" of the other castaways.
A Brigham Young University drop-out, he is actually very
well traveled and skilled in street smarts, previously
spending two years in the Philippines as a Mormon
missionary, in addition to six years as a cyclist in
Switzerland, Belgium and Austria.
In many ways Tyson can be brash, egotistical and
unapologetic but, oddly enough, he has no tolerance for
"know-it-alls" or individuals who lack common courtesy. In
addition to, as he describes it, "looking awesome," his
favorite hobbies are exercising and sunbathing. If he
becomes the next sole SURVIVOR, he plans to use all of the
money for selfish purposes, starting with "the most smoking
motorcycle around."
Tyson currently resides in Heber City, Utah and his birthday
is June 17.
