Sarah Lacina - Maku Maku - Winner

[MrsGryn]

Totally forgettable on Kaon Rong (32).

 

 

From her original CBS.com bio:

 

Age: 29

Current Residence: Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Occupation: Police Officer

Personal Claim to Fame: I’m most proud of graduating college in four years.

Inspiration in Life: My mother is amazing. She is the most unselfish person I know. Such a hard worker, and so supportive. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be here.

Hobbies: Boating, working out, golfing and mixed martial arts.

Pet Peeves: I hate when I can hear people chew their food, when people leave me voicemails (I’ll call you back if I don’t answer) and stupid people.

3 Words to Describe You: Witty, competitive and athletic.

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? A Bible - I’ve always wanted to read the entire Bible. I’m a slow reader, so I would be entertained for quite a while; a toothbrush; and a Surf board - Why not? I’m easily entertained, I don’t need much.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I’m one of a kind. If I had to pick I’d say Malcom. He’s nice, but very strategic and tasteful about it.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I am never satisfied with what I’ve done. I always add things to my plate. The challenge, experience and opportunity would be gratifying. Second reason: Duh, the money.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’m from the Midwest, cornfed! I’m a hard worker. I don’t give up. I motivate people. I learn quickly and I am a master manipulator.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I have the brains and skills to dominate this game. I’m very strategic and determined. I interview people on a daily basis and get confessions. I will destroy this game.

Do You Consider Yourself a Brain, a Beauty or a Brawn? I would consider myself Brain and Brawn. I think I will do very well on the puzzles and dominate the physical challenges.

Who Do You Think Has the Best Chance in the Game of Survivor: Brains, Beauty or Brawn? I think a combination of all three characteristics would produce a winning Survivor.

Who?

[uaintjak]

I remember her face, kind of. Was she the one who knew Tony was a cop?

[Shannon]

Yes, I think you are right Jak, that rings a bell.

[ff174]

Who?

 

It's Mrs. Lacina's daughter.

Sarah's updated bio for Survivor 34. Oh, good, someone else who isn't out there to make friends:

 

Age: 32
Hometown: Marion, IA
Previously played on: Season 28: Brains Vs. Brawn Vs. Beauty, Finished 11th & Jury Member

 

How have you changed since the last time you played?
I’m more cut-throat now. I’m not out there to make friends and I’m willing to go against my word.

 

What skills do you bring to Survivor that will make you a useful member of the group and what skills have you been learning since you last played?
I’m a hard worker. I have a great social game. I can fish and hunt. I’m not lazy or stupid. I’m athletic.

 

What are you most proud of from the last time?
I feel like I had so much game left. I’m not really proud of the way I played. I chose my word and loyalty over $1 million. I would not make that mistake again.

 

What, if anything, do you most regret?
I regret sticking to my morals and values. It's Survivor—you have to play the game!

 

How will you play differently this time?
I will do whatever it takes to win. The only purpose for me going back out there is to win a million dollars. I don’t care about making friends or what anyone thinks of me. They’ll get over it.

[MrsGryn]

Honestly, this gal is an idiot. She tells everyone she was the one who flipped. She tells Cirie...CIRIE!...that she has an advantage, when Cirie is trying to recruit her/keep her in the group. You never give away your advantage or knowledge before you know exactly how the interrogation is going to go!

 

Someone is never going to make detective.

[uaintjak]

I feel like Officer Sarah is going to regret dumping Zeke.

[angelmi]

So totally forgettable, could not remember her at all.

[gforce]

The whole season, she was just a big MEH to me. Her win did nothing to change that.

[CripesAlmighty]

She was right about one thing. She played Sandra's game, which is a proven winning strategy.

 

Doesn't make her lovable (or even particularly memorable), but it's a winning strategy.

 

I thought it was interesting that she took coaching from TONY!

[MrsGryn]

It sounded more like she was a passive recipient of Tony's "coaching." I would totally be blocking his number.

[uaintjak]

I remember her as a complete nonentity on her original season, but she deserved the win here. Still don't care about her though.

[MrsGryn]

She's not a warm and fuzzy personality for sure, but she also didn't seem to really engender extreme reactions, either. it's like she works undercover and is used to disappearing into the background or something!

I know this is mean. But, my favorite part about Sarah winning is... knowing that it must be absolutely infuriating Debbie beyond belief. And, that it will continue to infuriate her for days... if not years.
