Get to know Daniel Strunk
Daniel Strunk's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.
- Hobbies
- Movie fanatic, LEGOs, keeping track of things, and Survivor
- Pet peeves
- People who are so convinced they are right that they foreclose debate; people who are disruptive in movie theaters; when people try to talk to you even though you are wearing headphones; oatmeal raisin cookies masquerading as chocolate chip cookies.
- Castaway they say they are most like
- In order for me to win, I will need to lower my threat level from the get-go. The most natural way is to embrace my inner goofy, like Fabio. And then, obviously the winners I would model my game after are Yul and Todd.
