From MSN.com's pre-game interview with Jeff Probst:
"Alicia says: I don't think Christian Louboutin meant for his shoes to be on Survivor island. Being on here means a lot to me because I'm not your size zero, two or five-percent-body-fat type of gal. I am all Latina.
Jeff says: Alicia is the true fish out of the water in this game. She doesn't hesitate to dress down to underwear and walk over and try to get something from the guys. She's got a smart-ass sense of humor, and she's not afraid to flirt. I don't think there's any chance of her winning this game."
From her CBS bio page:
"Hobbies: Singing, running and spending money.
Pet Peeves: Bad manners (burping, farting), rushing and people who talk about themselves.
3 Words to Describe You: Confident, funny and ambitious.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Jenna Morasca from season six because she was the under dog; though she wasn't necessarily strong but definitely a strategist.
Reason for Being on Survivor: I'll make good TV.
Why You Think You'll "Survive" Survivor: I'm educated, intelligent and can strategize.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: People will underestimate me because of my good looks and I will show everyone how powerful I can be by using them to my advantage."
Summary of evidence for Alicia Rosa being on Survivor: One World.
- castaway208 (11/21/11) led off with various clues about her, and kookyrules (11/21/11) fairly quickly found her, after searching for an Alicia Rosa.
- For her part, Alicia has been, shall we say, not particularly subtle about being on. From the massive Survivor banner she uses as her twitter background, to using her facebook to brag about being on S24... at least she seems excited, right?
Who is Alicia Rosa?
From her twitter bio, she's a: "Special Education Teacher. Makeup Artist. Stylist. Singer. The reason why there are so many Kardashian look alikes." On facebook, she describes herself as "The Puerto Rican Rachel Zoe."
From her facebook info, she graduated from high school way back in 2005 (Lane Tech College Prep, Chicago). She received her bachelor's in psychology from Loyola University (Chicago) in 2009, and completed her Master's in teaching in 2011 (National-Louis University, Chicago). She now teaches special education students in the Chicago Public School system, but also does personal styling work, and has worked as a makeup artist at Neimann-Marcus. And she does a lot of karaoke, if her twitter is any guide.
