Tania Copeland - Bios

Official M-Net Island of Secrets bio excerpts (May, 2019):

"The rules and restrictions of society were not made with Tania in mind. Or, actually, they were. It's just that this strong and independent woman is not going to pay much attention to them.  Tania is one of a kind, unlike anyone else who has played the game of Survivor. She may be slightly older than her competitors, but it won't hold her back. This colourful 51-year-old immigration consultant is a self-proclaimed hedonist and an avid rock climber who loves all kinds of adventures in the outdoors. Tania, who has raised several kids, teaches English language to adults and knows that she’s always the heart and soul of a party – with or without her no-longer-guilty pleasure – a marijuana joint.  In Survivor SA she wants to be part of what she calls Team Underdog – who shows the big dogs how it's done. (Oh, by the way, her father was a bank robber)."

Official SurvivorSA: Return of the Outcasts M-Net bio (6/5/22):

"Colourful Tania Copeland lives life on her own terms. Born in South Africa before relocating to the UK – and then returning when she was 21 – the now-retired business owner lives a quiet life on the coast.

An avid rock-climber, she doesn’t let society’s rules and restrictions constrain her. She has a strong bond with her children – two biological kids, loads of fostered kids – and her five dogs.

She learnt a lot about herself and the game of Survivor in her season and is thrilled to get the chance to implement those learnings now. Whereas she spent a lot of time off on her own looking for idols before, she plans to now spend more time with her tribemates. Copeland is determined to win by aligning herself with the strong players and making herself valuable – at camp and as a vote."
