Get to know Kara Kay

Kara Kay's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.

Claim to fame
Making Charger Girls. I was Rookie of the Year, MVP in 2014 and a captain for two years.
Hobbies
Friends (not the show, real people). Running/biking/yoga. Dancing/snowboarding.
Pet peeves
Drivers who use their brakes unnecessarily, oblivious people, and when anyone tells someone else how to live their life.
Castaway they say they are most like
Parvati Shallow because she's brilliant, she's flirtatious, and she won! Her alliances were well thought out and she made power plays at the right time. I would have a positive attitude and make connections like Figgy except I'd avoid getting into a showmance at all cost.

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.
