Insights from Survivor Season 47 Contestant Teeny Chirichillo
Teeny, a 24-year-old Freelance Writer from Manahawkin, New Jersey, emphasized their socializing prowess in their introduction. They mentioned that they’ve been refining their “social game”since childhood. Teeny explained:
“I grew up dressing like a boy, wanted no attention for it, so had to distract them from having questions about me. That’s really taught me how to just befriend any type of personality.”
As they recounted their experiences post-high school, Teeny noted how their time in college, particularly among sorority girls, and their work in the technology sector exposed them to various personalities, including the “alpha male sales bro types.”This diversity on interactions, according to Teeny, has equipped them with the skills to relate to just about anyone.
Teeny outlined their strategy for winning Survivor Season 47 by stating:
“The energy that I’ll bring forth is a pickpocket from the Oliver Twist universe, stealing their trust, their hearts, their spot in the Final 3. And before they know it, they voted for me and I won.”
Highlights from the Survivor Season 47 Preview Video
The preview video showcases Jeff Probst eagerly introducing the three tribes for the upcoming season, filmed on the picturesque beaches of Mamanuca Island, a beloved backdrop for Survivor. The tribes include Gata in yellow, Lavo in red, and Tuku in blue.
Each tribe will comprise six members, totaling 18 contestants. During the introduction segment, each participant introduced themselves. Teeny, representing team Lavo, humorously remarked that they looked like they belonged to the “Wild Wild West,”despite their New Jersey roots.
Elaborating on their appearance, Teeny likened their look to a “scarecrow,”noting that their style can often vary.
The preview also teased an exciting challenge where contestants will need to crawl under a mesh barrier and navigate through the woods to advance in the game.
New episodes of Survivor Season 47 will air on Wednesdays at 8 PM ET on CBS.
