Get to know Desiree Williams
Desiree Williams's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.
- Claim to fame
- I became an assistant professor at the age of 26 and a program director at the age of 27. They don't just hand out those titles to anyone.
- Hobbies
- Traveling the world, participating in pageants, and going to the gym.
- Pet peeves
- I can't stand people who are all talk. I work my butt off every day so I have little patience for laziness. I expect to see results and have no problem calling someone out if they don't deliver.
Alliances fans have named
Survivor never names an alliance on screen. These names, and who counts as a member, are how the fan community records the game rather than an official record of it.
