Get to know Nina Acosta
Nina Acosta's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.
- Claim to fame
- Receiving a full ride basketball scholarship to Santa Clara University, finding the perfect husband and, of course, my kids.
- Hobbies
- Working out, cooking, gardening and target shooting.
- Pet peeves
- I hate whining, being called a "girl" and rude drivers.
- Inspiration
- My mom – she was a feminist before it was acceptable. She taught me to be confident and encouraged me to pick sports over cheerleading.
- Castaway they say they are most like
- Stephenie LaGrossa, because she was tough and stood up for herself, and Sue Hawk, because she spoke her mind.
- Why they wanted to play
- I want to prove that a 50+ year-old woman can compete. I love challenges, both physical and mental. The money would also be a great help to my kids with college.
