‘Survivor’ Season 41; Meet the cast of Survivor 41, Shantel Smith who has a job of paster

And she’s hoping that her kindness, ability to understand people and a few idol hunts will help her win season 41.
Read on some interviews with Shantel;
What’s your history with watching Survivor?
My mom lost me to Child Protective Services when I was really young. And I bounced around from group homes to foster homes. We didn’t have a lot in the foster care system. We didn’t have a lot of money and didn’t get a lot of cables. But on the channels that we did get, Survivor was one of the shows that aired on them.
And so every week I was in front of the TV watching Survivor. I didn’t really have a lot of parenting voices in my life. And Jeff Probst kind of became that parenting voice. When he encouraged the players to dig deep, “there’s more in you than you know, you can do this,” those were the messages I carried with me. And that eventually put me through high school, college, grad school, and my doctoral work. And so the show has had a really big impact on me, not just surviving, but winning and thriving in life.
So what was it like meeting Jeff in person?
It was wild. He’s so great in person. He’s so nice, and he’s so real. He knows how much his part on the show has played in my life. Because I’m sure he hears about all of this. But yeah, it was a little surreal.
What’s one life experience you feel has prepared you most for the game?
There was a time in my life where I was affiliated with a gang. I was homeless; I was living on the streets. When you’re in that environment, you encounter a ton of different people. You face a number of circumstances that most people just probably don’t face in their life.
And you really learn how to read people, both cops, and people that live on the streets who say that you’re friends. While I am a pastor and have deep empathy and a real compassion gift, I’m also a hustler at my core. People will try me! [Laughs.] And it doesn’t work very often because I read people so well. Game recognizes game, for lack of better words.
What do you desire in an alliance partner?
I desire somebody who ultimately wants to work together but not decide everything for me. I want someone who’s decisive and just as confident and sure of themselves as I am. When people aren’t confident in themselves, they tend to just flip back and forth and be wishy-washy. I also hope for someone I can slightly manipulate just a bit if I’m being completely honest. [Laughs.]
But I also want to make real friends here and develop deep relationships. So that’s what I hope for as an alliance partner. Somebody that I can trust, someone I can slightly manipulate, and someone who can perceive me as bendable and flexible even though I might not be. [Laughs.]
