John Fincher (25)
Hometown: Los Angeles, Ca.
Occupation: Rocket Scientist
John Fincher claims “winning” is his favorite hobby, and because of that he should have no problem playing the game of SURVIVOR. Being a rocket scientist probably will not hurt his chances either. This charmingly cocky genius believes he possesses the analytical skills necessary to take him far in the game while helping him create a mastermind strategy. In addition to brains, he is a former semi-pro soccer player, who is also going to pose a physical threat in the game.
Fincher says that he is at his best during high pressure situations and times of complete chaos. He finds idiots or “unskilled” people amusing, and has no problem telling them to their face. John has traveled extensively in South America, Europe, South Africa, and Canada, and he plans to use his experience of dealing with people from diverse backgrounds to his best advantage.
John is no stranger to creating conflict and thinks it could work to his advantage in the game. Although, John also believes his good looks and charm will help even out his aggressive personality, especially with the ladies. He also will not apologize living a privileged life and claims that he will party his way around the world with his winnings.
John resides in Santa Monica, Calif. His birth date is August 16th.
Stimpy’s Thoughts:
Well you’d think a rocket scientist would be well suited to this game, but Misty during the initial Exile Island season, was also a rocket scientist, and things didn’t turn out too well for her.
That being said, it’s obvious he’s not an idiot.
I’d also like to know whether it was the Survivor folks who described him as ‘charmingly cocky’ or if it was himself.
If the Survivor staff found him charmingly cocky, that bodes well, because others out there probably will too.
If he describes himself that way, well, watch out, because that does NOT bode well.
Now getting to the nuts and bolts of it, there is some potential here. The trick is to make it kinetic.
Methinks the boy is over-thinking things a skosh, by believing that his rocket scientist background will help him develop a winning strategy.
Umm, don’t be a hindrance to your tribe in challenges or at camp, be social, form alliances, don’t piss anyone off, and don’t be afraid to backstab when necessary and then turn on that charm at the end as a group of pissed off people have to decide whether to reward you with a million dollars.
Ta-freaking-dah John, there it is, all nice and laid out for ya. And I ain’t got no degree in rocket scientistry neither!
To make another point, I don’t necessarily have a problem with him finding idiots or unskilled people amusing, but when there’s already two bartenders out there, I’d keep that kinda thing in check and would not – repeat: WOULD NOT – bring that up to their faces.
Also, while I’m also not above creating a bit of conflict to help your game, that kinda strategy can back-fire on you if people start comparing notes and realize that you’re being a shit-disturber.
I’m not getting good vibes from him, but I also don’t think he’ll be an early cast-off either, because he’s probably adept enough that he’ll form a decent alliance and won’t piss off too many people higher up the food-chain.
