Get to know Rachel Ako

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

Claim to fame
Sharing my raw story of the tragedies I've been through in a book in order to help others; although, I was scared to because I was so vulnerable.
Hobbies
Dancing, traveling, and high-ropes or high-adventure activities.
Pet peeves
I guess I would say bad manners.
Inspiration
My father because he has great values, is loyal, authentic, and has integrity. He is my hero! Growing up as a child, it was Harriet Tubman because she was courageous, bold, and risked her life to save others.
Castaway they say they are most like
Myself, I'm bold, sexy, fun, confident, and real.
Why they wanted to play
Winning a million dollars! Also, the experience, which includes the physical challenges, the rewards, and meditating on a tropical island in the morning and at night. I'd also like to inspire Asian Pacific Islanders to be confident and self-expressive!
Luxury item
SPF, tampons, and lip balm, so I'm camera ready.
