Victoria Baamonde Interview
Interviewer: Three words to describe you
Victoria Baamonde: Controlling, ambitious, and witty.
Interviewer: What is your personal claim to fame?
Victoria Baamonde: I was valedictorian of my college with a perfect 4.0 and I bring it up in conversation as much as possible.
Interviewer: Who or what is your inspiration in life?
Victoria Baamonde: This is going to sound nuts, but my guinea pig Scamp. She’s been sick from the moment I got her. She’s had two surgery stints, countless vet visits, and tons of medications, but she’s still the happiest, feistiest, and most amazing little fur-ball. She has such a distinct personality and loves eating so much. I just respect that about her and strive to be that simplistically happy.
Interviewer: If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why?
Victoria Baamonde: A notebook and pencil (this is one item) to keep track of all my thoughts and to sketch.
Baby pillow: this tiny pillow I’ve had since I was born that I sleep with every night.
A guitar: No clue how to play one, but I figure I’ll have lots of time to learn.
Interviewer: Which Survivor contestant are you the most like?
Victoria Baamonde: I relate to Malcolm Freberg. If you read his Wiki Fandom page, he’s described as “likable, strategic, and excels at challenges” and I’d like to think I am the same way.
Interviewer: What’s your reason for being on Survivor?
Victoria Baamonde: My primary motivation is the once in a lifetime adventure! I’ve been watching since I was a little kid, and it’s always been something I’ve wanted to do. Every contestant says its life-changing. Secondary: the shot at a million dollars, of course!
Interviewer: Why do you think you’ll “survive” Survivor?
Victoria Baamonde: I truly think I have everything it takes to outwit, outplay, and outlast. I am and always have been a hustler. I work hard to achieve my goals. I’m sociable, very smart, strong, and self-aware enough to know when to tone down the quantities that make me a threat. I’m not afraid to lie and backstab, but I’m smart enough to know without alliances and bonds, you will never win.
