January 5 , 2008: CBS eventually gets around
to putting up their Survivor: Micronesia site, which includes
Alexis's bio (below):
"Alexis SURVIVOR: MICRONESIA
Age: 24
Home Town: Los Angeles, CA
Occupation: Motivational Speaker
Alexis Jones was born and raised in Austin,
Texas, with four older brothers. She received her bachelor’s
degree in international relations and Spanish and most recently
finished her master’s degree in communications management,
both from the University of Southern California. While at
USC, Jones hosted a college television show (for three years)
called 'Doing It for Reel,' where she interviewed
celebrities on the red carpet of movie premieres and press
junkets.
Jones is a motivational speaker who works one-on-one
with young girls to build confidence and self-esteem. She
just created an empowerment/non-profit organization for young
girls called “I Am That Girl.” While still in
school, she worked at Fox Sports and interned with ESPN (mostly
because she is a self-described 'sports junky').
She also founded and reported for a website that covered
the 2005 USC football season.
Her hobbies include hanging
out with family and friends, writing (she’s currently
working on an empowerment book for girls titled 'Comatose
Barbie') and
watching college football. She describes herself as contagiously
energetic, fiercely competitive and resilient. She has traveled
to Costa Rica, Spain, China and Morocco and has hiked 150
miles to the base of Mt. Everest. She is a member of the
Bel Air Presbyterian Church. Jones enjoys playing volleyball,
flag football, soccer and has just completed a triathlon.
Jones
is currently single and resides in Beverly Hills, California.
Her birth date is July 6, 1983."

January 3, 2008: Entertainment
Weekly (mostly Dalton Ross) handles the cast-release
chores for Survivor: Micronesia. Included is Alexis's pre-show
interview and Probst's comments:
"THE ROOKIES: ALEXIS JONES
AGE: 24
OCCUPATION: Motivational speaker
HOMETOWN: Beverly Hills (originally from Austin, Tex.)
ALEXIS
SAYS: ''People will see the Southern belle in me. But I'm
fiercely competitive — despite my dimples.''
JEFF PROBST
SAYS: ''When she came in she was so excited. And I launched
into this speech about how you need to drop the excitement
and get your head in the game because these other people
out here, they're already playing, they're already playing
you, and they're already seeing you're this little simple
girl from Texas that they're going to run right over. And
she looks at me and says, 'I've read every person here.'
And she had a pretty good read on everybody. I thought, This
is all I need to know. This girl knows
how to play. As a fan, I picked this girl to win."

December
3, 2007: Someone named CobySucks (who?) reveals
the following at SurvivorSucks's S16+ forum:
"Okay the first cast spoiler I will say I am 100% on...
I
have then been giving the rest of the cast list from very very
very good sources so I will mark this 99%...
Joel, a fireman,
Kathy, Mary (fake tits), Natalie, Alexis and Tracy
add in Curt
and Truck and that should be the whole new tribe except 1."

USC blog |
December
1, 2005: Alexis, who at the time is blogging for
the USC (University of Spoiled Children) football team,
is the cover girl for Swoop magazine.
Sample post,
possibly from Alexis (yes, she's just your average Survivor fan):
"Skulking
Around Longhorn Country"
From Tuesday's Austin
American-Statesman:
Is she a spy? A double-agent? A burgeoning Trojan fan
site, Inside USC, is co-authored by - get this - an Austinite.
Alexis Jones, a communications grad student at USC, is
a 2001 Westlake High graduate with a father, a mother
and two grandparents who graduated from UT. But she's
also buddies with USC quarterback Matt Leinert [sic]
and was among the small group partying with him after
the Heisman festivities 10 days ago. Home for the holidays,
she's been skulking around Longhorn Country, feeding
the Web site. Look out. |
