With Yul and Flica, still going on at that first Tribal Council

You guys get served lamb by Probst at every Tribal Council, right?

Oh, hey Raro. Don't mind us, we're eating

Maybe it's the cider talking, but I LOVE Tribal Council! Woo!

We get to kidnap a Raro? What? Please be Adam. Please be Adam.

Strategies revealed do not succeed, pre-mutiny

Secretly not on board with Penner's long-term alliance. Nobody could ever guess.

Yup, I'm secretly not on board with Penner's long-term alliance. Nobody could ever guess.

We'll stick together after the merge, right?

Mutiny, you say?

All right. If you insist.

Nice, I got a clean buff out of this.

Mutiny is almost as fun as getting shoved in a barrel with someone else, Ep9 RC

This challenge is a barrel of laughs, Ep9 RC

It's possible these guys may not be as good at swimming as Ozzy

Yay, Exile! This mutiny was a great idea.

It seems like they're mad that I wanted to snuggle with Adam. Mean.

Finally back with Raro, Ep9 IC

So are you really as tight with Penner as he claims? Uh, no.

Trying to get Adam to punch Penner in the face, Ep9

Back at Tribal Council, now with Raro. This should be fun.

Auction time! Ep12

Chocolate cake? I want! Ep12 auction.

Great, Becky outbid me for this 'power in the game' thing. Oh well, that's over.

Exile Island? No.

Not liking this whole 'Send someone to Exile Island and take their money' auction item, for some reason

Off to Exile Island, one last time, Ep12

Well this is fun

Exile Island: I'm lovin' it!

It's great that Yul proved to Probst he has the idol, but they still sent me here. Nice.

Ready for the Ep12 IC

First round

Missing the final round by a second

Rooting for Adam, Ep12 IC

Oh well, at least Adam won

Snuggling, while Penner makes the fire to cook the fish he caught

How dare you not alert us that you were done catching and cooking our food for us? You rat!

This is my unhappy face, Mr. Penner

Time for Tribal, Ep12

We contribute just as much as Penner in camp, mostly our good looks and friendly demeanors

Heroes, poorly stacking crates, Ep2 RC/IC

That was a fun challenge, Probst. Post-Ep2 IC

Discussing which Heroes alliance to back, with Cirie, Ep2

To be honest, Cirie doesn't really care who goes, as long as it ain't her

Yes, James. I'm aware that Stephenie outlasted her tribe in Palau. She also got to the final two in Guatemala.

Enjoying the fun negotiations at the Heroes tribe

Considering Tom's alliance offer, Ep2

Why are we even ON the Heroes tribes? Seriously.

Back at Tribal Council, Ep2. Fun.

Heroes, Ep2 Tribal. Arguing.

I can't believe they won't shut up.

Hard to tell what's going on here. If only there were a giant ad graphic to inform us.

Yeah! Team shuffleboard! Woo! Ep11 RC

Colby won a challenge? WTF? Colby?

This is boring. I would totally quit for PB&J. Ep12 F8 IC.

Cook Islands bio (click to expand/collapse)

From her CBS.com Survivor: Cook Islands bio page: (8/23/06)

"Candice Woodcock was born and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina. She graduated from Terry Sanford High School where she was president of her class and captain of the soccer and cross country teams. She received a perfect score on the math portion of her SATs.

Woodcock won full merit scholarships to both the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University. She accepted the Morehead Scholarship to attend UNC-Chapel Hill and eventually received her Bachelor of Science Degree in biology and psychology with a minor in chemistry.

Survivor: Africa inspired Woodcock to do service work in Africa. Following her freshman year of college, she spent 10 and a half weeks living in a mud hut with a tribal family in the western highlands of Kenya. She taught primary and secondary school in the village and designed her own service project where she ran a clinic that distributed over 700 pairs of eyeglasses that had been donated by parties in the United States. Inspired by her work in Kenya, Woodcock became the fundraising director and then executive director of Students for Students International, a completely student-run, non-profit organization at UNC-Chapel Hill that gives scholarships to students in Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Woodcock also spent a summer studying health care in Chile and Peru and another summer splitting her time between work at the Cancer Clinic at George Washington University Hospital and La Clinica del Pueblo, a free Latino clinic in Washington, D.C.

After graduation, Woodcock decided to take a year off before continuing her studies. She worked full-time for six months as an Assistant Director of Clinical Trials and as a Director of External Practice Development for an ophthalmology practice, and then part-time for the following six months. She has just begun graduate school at Georgetown University to attain a Master's Degree in physiology and biophysics. She then plans to attend medical school. She hopes to use her medical degree to do service work in developing countries and also in underserved areas of the U.S.

Woodcock enjoys spending time with her family and friends, working out, playing sports, being in the water and playing with her dog, Louis James.

Woodcock currently resides in Washington, D.C. Her birth date is November 12, 1982."

"Personal Claim To Fame: “Being the former Executive Director of Students for Students International.”

Blood vs. Water bio (click to expand/collapse)

From her (and John's) pre-game interview with EW's Dalton Ross:

"The former Candice Woodcock is back for a third go round (after Cook Islands and Heroes vs. Villains) and says she has no problem voting her husband off — under the right circumstances. 'If we decided that there was one person going to the end and we would want another person on the jury for a vote,' explains Candice, 'that would be a possible scenario that we would vote one or the other out. But other than that we're going to stay loyal.' Says John, 'I'm not going to be forced to write Candice's name down in a situation that we haven't already talked about. I mean, I've got to sleep next to this woman for the rest of my life, so I'm not going to do something stupid like that.' Adds Candice, 'Smart man.'"

From her (and John's) official CBS bio page:

"Relationship to Significant Castaway: John’s Wife
Previous Season: Survivor: Cook Islands-13th out, 5th jury member; Survivor: Heroes vs. Villians-13th out, 5th jury member
Current Residence: Washington, D.C.
Occupation: Physician, Anesthesiology Resident
Why Did You Want to Return to Survivor and Play with Your Loved One? We are both successful in our individual lives, but we never get a chance to be competitive and play together on a team. I can’t think of anybody I would trust more to be on my side as a teammate. I’m very proud of my husband and I want to show him off!"
