IreRage

I need alone time to recharge my social battery, and I feel like people would think I was idol hunting šŸ¤£


Tarhisie

OMG me too! I doubt many true introverts have played on the show. If they have, it's been the very early boots.


arainna

How about Hunter from this last season? I would put him as an introvert.


ApprehensiveUse5900

Hunterā€™s complete look of disgust when Tevin and Soda were cheerfully singing camp songs made me love him. I would have enjoyed Tevin and Soda as individuals, but being stuck in a camp-ditty singalong would have driven me crazy.


adumbswiftie

hunter was def an introvert and it definitely cost him


smhayes

Pretty sure he described himself as an introvert in confessional


xxPanda7

never related more to another human being in my entire life


Novaturient_ethhack

Same!


Colordesert

Very much same. I wouldnā€™t have my adhd meds either and it would just be a struggle


EasternCandle1617

IBS...


gwenelope

Tribemate: "EasternCandle1617 is spending a lot of time alone in the water. I just can't get a read on them... šŸ¤Ø"


Sea__Cappy

Severe gastrointestinal distress?


Rustlingleaves1

Poopy pants!


Technical-Narwhal593

Same, Crohn's disease, but it's not a silly reason. But being in the water constantly with a brown cloud following behind me . . . Yeah, nah.


flammafemina

Yeah but all the little fishies around you would appreciate the free meal


TiredReader87

Me too


KayCeeBayBeee

I am easily manipulated and impulsive, tell me someone threw my name out there and Iā€™m immediately buying it and plotting their demise


ghubert3192

Every time I start a new job I instantly decide everyone there is like the nicest person in the world and we're going to be best friends forever. Pretty sure the first tribemate who smiled at me would be my ride-or-die "we're going to the end together". Looking forward to being blindsided by that person.


ALiteralBucket

Youā€™ll either be the best or worst social player to ever play. No in between


PeterTheSilent1

ie Sugar from Gabon.


Charlie-122

Good TV tho


TalkWestern7712

Spiders.


Jaqana

Bugs just in general.


CalebosO4

Jennifer from Kaoh Rong agrees


Jaqana

A.K.A. literally the scene that convinced me I probably don't want to go on Survivor lol.


the-bolter-317

Omfg that was my greatest fear realized. So hard to watch


TargetApprehensive38

Same here - I would NOT have handled that nearly as well as she did. Theyā€™d have to medi-evac me to stop the screaming


SuperAwesome13

the mosquitos


PCoda

Every time I see them covered in bug bited it reminds me that I am a magnet for those things and the itching alone would drive me completely batshit insane. No one would be able to play with me. That and the hunger...I'd make Liz look like a field of daisies.


mizzymichie

Arachnophobia gang rise up


blacephalons

I'm so happy this is the top comment because spiders are the ONLY thing preventing me from applying.


shepeesa

Very, very fair.


pbghikes

Emotional dysregulation


notthemostcreative

Yeah, I tend to have a soft spot for people who melt down on reality tv shows like this because I know in the same circumstances I too would be a blubbering mess.


matts1320

At first glance, I thought that said erectile dysfunction. I was like, I donā€™t think thatā€™s a requirement.


BobBelchersBuns

Me too friend.


whatwouldkatdo

After the first morning with no coffee, Iā€™d be crying and throwing up begging to be voted out


raisinbran8

I would definitely have to cut caffeine like 2 months before I went, Iā€™d never survive detoxing there lol


LazyTension

The caffeine withdrawal headaches are the absolute worst, so youā€™d definitely need to quit a few weeks before filming. They are borderline crippling.


RaymondStussy

Yep. Would have to ditch my coffee and nicotine habit weeks in advance. Which would be an added benefit I suppose


Ok_Supermarket_3241

u/thiccylongstockingz they just like u fr


whatwouldkatdo

I understand Hannah Rose on a soul level


thiccylongstockingz

I FEEL SO SEEN


adumbswiftie

i would have to wean myself off caffeine for sure. i already get headaches, anxiety and exhaustion from not having it and thatā€™s in regular life where im allowed to eat food


strongbob25

Shit I never considered the sunglasses thing


Mark_Nerd_Pwnd

This is a little off topic but who cares: I wear glasses and have tried since I was 13 years old (35 now) to wear contacts. I just can't do it. Anyway, up until about 4 years ago, I never wore sunglasses because I had regular glasses and didn't want to spend $300 on prescription sunglasses. I finally splurged and it is the single greatest purchase I have made. I now wear sunglasses all the time, have multiple pairs, and can't imagine life without them. So weird how something so small has had such a major impact on my life. Thank you for joining my Ted Talk.


clairioed

Blue eyes, Iā€™m fucked


PhantomUser666

I'm quite clumsy so I'd probably cut myself with a machete or something šŸ˜‚


WWZoeHartDo

Same!! I cut or burn myself at least once a week while cooking. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


GoodKnightSweetheart

I'm very clumsy and would probably trip on sand and break a limb


Slobst1707

I'd probably fall in the fire tbh


usernametookmehours

I am addicted to chapstick. Itā€™s like my security blanket. Donā€™t even use it that much but when I realize I donā€™t have it with me or it runs out, I canā€™t stop thinking about it and licking my lips, thinking about how dry they are, panicking.


ImpossibleMess5211

Omg this was going to be mine. Could not cope without my chapstick, physically or emotionally


attempting2

I know in the early days of Survivor they would allow the contestants to bring one "comfort" item, within certain terms. I'm not certain what season, but I recall a contestant bringing congo drums, I believe, and another bringing a state flag from his home state, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure if they still d0 this, but could chapstick maybe be your "comfort item"? Or maybe chapstick wouldn't qualify because it is more of a survival item that could enhance a player's experience?


ninetwentyfive

I came to say this because I just saw Maria I think say something about having to stop using chapstick in preparation for the game and I needed chapstick just reading that lol, I had never thought of that one before, sounds horrible.


jshamwow

No sunglasses and no caffeine are two of mine. But also I absolutely hate hate hate hate being dirty on a sensory level. I wouldnā€™t be able to sleep thinking my down there region was sweaty


senn12

I miss the early seasons where there were much more sunglasses and hats


Pohtaydoh

I wonder if you're able to have prescription sunglasses since other glasses are allowed


SmilingSarcastic1221

Or those transitions glasses! Thatā€™s a great cheat code


TravEllerZero

I'm curious if they'd allow that since it hides your eyes. At least mine do. I got married shortly after getting transition lenses and didn't realize how dark they were. When I got the pictures from the photographer, I looked like some kind of mob boss... who wears dark glasses.


Electrical-Tour-8702

Yes! I'm useless if I'm even a little sticky or dirty until I shower


berfthegryphon

My ADHD really kicks in under two conditions, being hungry and tired. The perpetual state of survivor. My tribe mates would want me gone because they'd hear the same story 20 times a day and I wpuld interrupt every single conversation.


IAMgrampas_diaperAMA

When Iā€™m hungry and tired I become completely incapable of managing my emotions, Iā€™d be a MESS


alexruthie

Yeah I require too many meds to be around people


shepeesa

Oh gosh I didnā€™t think about my interrupting but same


ashendaze

Same. Emotional regulation would be tough, trying to comprehend challenges would send me into a spiral, Iā€™d probably lose the idol & everything else I touched šŸ˜‚ idk if people are allowed to have their meds on the show but without them I am hardly a functioning human in my own cushy life so


athenairl

I have a skin picking issue and Iā€™d have to be med evacā€™d after a few bug bites lol


shepeesa

I just watched the episode of >!31 where Neal has to leave for that reason, yikes !<


Substantial_Tart_888

Bug bites. I must have ā€œsweet bloodā€ or something because I get way more bites than other people around me and they itch worse and longer it seems.


catmom_422

Is your blood type O by chance? There have been studies that show that mosquitoes prefer that blood type. Iā€™m O- and I get eaten alive. Canā€™t go anywhere without repellent.


money-madz

bugs love O blood type


justwatching12345678

Wow, I'm type O and get eaten alive while others sit around me unbothered...I never knew about that!


SamoaMe

Iā€™m the exact same way. Anytime I go outside this time of year I get swarmed by bugs. My ankles and feet are covered in scabs/scars all summer from me scratching the shit out of my bug bites until they bleed.


xPhoenixJusticex

It could be because of the blood type you have! They've done studies and found out that certain blood types are more prone to get bit by mosquitos and the like!


CliffordKoDR

You know how Cirie got off the couch to play Survivor? I'd miss the couch.


jlevski

I donā€™t like it when sand touches the back of my thighs.


VintageAndromeda

Agreed. It's coarse, rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.


KingJupiter_

Not like you, you're soft...


a-flying-trout

I get rashes from damp clothing, especially when Iā€™m stressed and combined with abrasion from sand/dirt. Iā€™d end up with an instant infection and have to be hospitalized. I would not survive out there šŸ¤£


Big-Blackberry8786

I hate people.


Secret-Elk6497

Yep. Me too. Thatā€™d be a tough one.


mltplwits

I genuinely hate the heat. Iā€™d like survivor to have an arctic season, or a boreal forest season lol


Maple_Mistress

If thereā€™s ever a boreal forest season I want in! Thatā€™s my jam


mltplwits

I genuinely think if they mixed it up and changed the climate, it would really put pressure on new players to create their own game and not try to just mimic someone from another season. Sure you can build fires on a beach, but there arenā€™t any coconuts in the forest Jeff. Time to broaden their skills


xxPanda7

My hair. I have chin-length curly hair and having no hair products would be hell šŸ’€


shepeesa

Omg yes same! The story about Charlie seeing his hair love salt water would be the exact opposite of my experience.


passing-stranger

Idk, everyone's hair looks So Good om the island. There is rarely an episode I don't text someone saying I wish my hair looked like [insert survivor currently on screen]


SummerWonderful4927

This!Curly hair is so hard to manage as it is I canā€™t imagine me on a hot island with no mirror or supplies.


yeehaw-girl

my hair is wavy, and I canā€™t tell whether it would thrive or suffer out there šŸ˜­ on the one hand, it always looks really nice after I swim in salt water. but itā€™s also just so unmanageable. like it gets soooo tangled. sleeping outside would prob be horrible for it. but maybe salt water is good for detangling? šŸ‘€ I just know that out here in the normal world, I absolutely need product


no1loca

My hair is so fine, thick, and wavy/curly that it would be a matted mess within a couple of days. I'd probably have to shave it off by the time the show was over. It would be awful.


AmberFoxAlice

I feel you! I have long hair that goes past my butt, itā€™s super wavy and gets really frizzy without any products. It also gets tangled very fast, so I would have a giant mop on my head and probably would have to cut it after.


Own-Knowledge8281

Iā€™ll drown within the first 5 minutes of the gameā€¦


Gemini_writer8

Same. I'd make Brandon look like Ozzy!


GOULFYBUTT

I once got a full torso sunburn at a pool party that I arrived to at 7:30pm when the sun was already behind the trees and houses. I would die in Figi... Or at least get melanoma.


SarahBeara231

Same. I'd be Cochran levels of lobster even with religious applications of sunscreen.


le_bravery

My wife says I would be voted off first because the smell of my farts. I agree.


Impossible_Belt_4599

Canā€™t exist without Applebees.


emslynn

Gotta get that Bourbon Street Burger!


arickg

SMOTHERED IN SAUTEED MUSHROOMS


iamdeeson

And the Oreo shake. With some whip cream on the top too.


giantsourgrapes

Im obsessive about my tweezer. Seeing other peopleā€™s stray chin or eyebrow hairs would make me crazy. Also knowing I had some of my own that I couldnā€™t get would kill me


ghertigirl

Iā€™ve thought about this same issue often. Back when you got to bring a comfort item from home, tweezers wouldā€™ve been mine. Now I just donā€™t know


Madam_Nicole

I have literally considered getting laser hair removal just in case I decide to play Survivor šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


pincurlsandcutegirls

I donā€™t like wearing shoes in the water.Ā 


raisinbran8

Type 1 diabetes šŸ˜‚


shepeesa

Dang pancreas!


HorrorAd4995

I canā€™t stand feeling greasy or sandy or not getting enough sleep.


chizawa

I have chronic migraines that get worse on the heat so Iā€™d be sick in like two hours.


Mountain-Pop-3637

Same!!!


greekmom2005

I'm a half Greek woman. I don't want to know what happens if I do not have access to a razor for a month.


ashendaze

I have heard some contests get laser hair removal before the show


Polaris594

Iā€™m in a wheelchair lol


mogancheech

Me too. Ngl, I sometimes daydream about what a Survivor season would be like for just people in wheelchairs. It wouldnā€™t work, but thatā€™s why itā€™s a dream. šŸ˜†


boy_in_red

Allergic to everything


shepeesa

Hey Liz made F4. Believe in yourself!


FerTheAwesome

And she wouldā€™ve won if she got to the end! šŸ¤£


Secret-Elk6497

That was Survivor comedy GOLD šŸ˜‚


kicked_trashcan

If only her big wrists didnā€™t cause her only downfall!


IBeSteadyLurkin

I have IBS and have often thought about shitting myself while hanging 20 feet up on a pole. Or being suspected of idol hunting while I squeeze out a small duck poop 20 times a day.


ElyriaRose

Iā€™m not sleeping on the ground. Or, Iā€™d miss my kitties too much. Family would be fine because theyā€™d know where I am. But what if the cats think I abandoned them?? šŸ˜†


yikesonbikes2

Not having blankets until we earned them would destroy me. And then having to share them.


missmortimer_

The reason Iā€™m scrolling Reddit right now and am not asleep is because Iā€™m staying at the in-laws and their mattress is too hard. Sleeping on the ground, sans blanket? Ainā€™t gonna happen.


nltjejiSverige

Lack of dental floss. Not brushing is one thing, but having some shred of coconut (or anything) stuck between two teeth for days would make me crazy.


jcb1975

I donā€™t want anyone to see me in a bathing suit / bra & panties


Maple_Mistress

Iā€™m Canadian and I donā€™t acclimate well to the heat.


BellaLeigh43

You know ā€œresting bitch faceā€? Well, I have ā€œresting youā€™re-an-idiot faceā€. It in no way reflects my actual thoughts (usually), but it would doom me on the island.


Ice_Cream_For_Dinner

Iā€™m kind of a dick when Iā€™m tired.


DonquixoteDFlamingo

Allergy to coconut and I naturally scowl


ToeNo88

If my hairband broke I'd leave lol


resident16

Iā€™m too trusting and have a hard time lying.


thekyledavid

I always seem like Iā€™m lying even when Iā€™m telling the truth People who know me get me, but strangers would vote me off first or second


AugustSchroeder

I have really, really, really, really, really, really, and I canā€™t emphasize this enough, but really bad IBS and have to constantly run to the toilet so on the off chance I get enough food out there form being a challenge beast ima be gone like every three hours short in my pants


passing-stranger

Jess showed you all so I don't have to šŸ˜…


PeterTheSilent1

Because Iā€™d probably go full Jamie Newton and get voted out just because I annoy people with my paranoia.


Ok-Newspaper-8215

I'm hypoglycemic....I'd pass out every 5 mins without food/sugar lol


Tired8281

I wouldn't want to go twenty-six days without bagels.


alcutie

i have polymorphous light eruption aka iā€™m allergic to the sun and sunscreen doesnā€™t prevent it only steroids


redpenraccoon

Hyperhidrosis (my hands and feet are always sweaty) I'd be sliding down those poles in SECONDS


survivorbae

I go slightly insane if I canā€™t cut my nails for 5+ days. Also my hair knots very easily so thereā€™s a chance I might have to buzz it after survivor.


psuedonymousauthor

I think my lack of good sleep would make me cranky. Iā€™d go from being very pleasurable day 1 and making a good alliance to day 2 where my alliance is trying to vote me out after I show my cranky side.


c0rps3wh0r3

low blood sugar + barely existent social battery. if i wasn't passing out, i'd be hiding from my tribe


HelloMyNamesAmber

Bugs. I hate bugs. In an endurance challenge that requires focus and staying still ? It's over for me if a bug flies too close to me.


Smoify

I get hangry.


BillSimmonsWasRight

An intense hatred of humidity


samlama_x3

I need to sleep with my special blanket. Also, my tummy hurts a lot lol


SamoaMe

Iā€™m absolutely miserable to be around when Iā€™m hungry. Like Shane from Exile Island and his tobacco withdrawal, only worse and not entertaining or humorous at all.


vexdo

Social battery would be drained by day 2 ie mecole on bb25


Advanced-Employer-71

That one episode when that poor person had a bug in their ear and they could feel it burrowing and they were freaking out and the camera was showing close ups of the bug wiggling around šŸ¤®šŸ„“. I would have to tape my ears shut or suffer the nightmares.


SummerWonderful4927

Arenā€™t you allowed to bring sunglasses though?I remember a few contestants wearing some.But my reason would be Iā€™m a picky eater.I donā€™t eat meat or seafood so Iā€™d just have to bank on rice for 26 days.


juulkip

you were allowed sunglasses in old school seasons but at some point they changed that. Iā€™m pretty sure that Christian on DvG said that Lyrsa had new glasses given to her mid season because she had those glasses that would switch between normal and sunglasses if in the sun or not


platinumgamher

No coffee? No thank you.


dopaminechaser9

Not my reason but thinking about Hannah and her vape


Lilox626

Being wet. Iā€™ve watched the seasons where it rains and rains and I would die not having DRY clothes, dry socks, just being DRY.


chakipu

I am addicted to nicotine and I wouldnā€™t last 3 hours without vaping/smoking


Stalukas

I got pretty bad sleep apnea and would be paranoid about waking people up with my catathrenia


TuBachel

Iā€™ve got a condition where going from lying down to standing up can make me go light-headed and sometimes pass out (similar to what happened to Jake in S45). Lack of proper nutrition and hydration makes it so much worse


MaxDoor

ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder)


DROOPY1824

Win/get taken on a reward -> get drunk off them Applebees cocktails -> start talking shit about EVERYONE


ShibberMeThis

Fear of people knowing I poop


Equal-Ad4615

Too much sun gives me a headache


OceanOpal

I need like one straight hour of being alone every day at the *least* and everyone would find that hella sus.


KittySavvee

Having to kiss @$$ for a vote lol


pascaleps

My mouth! I donā€™t always think before speaking.


SummerBusiness7438

Not having toilet paper


RawBean7

I would miss my dogs too much.


CuriousAnxiety570

Id probably fall and break an ankle stepping onto the beach


AnyElephant7218

I canā€™t stand to be in the hot sun all day


SomewhereFar2289

I canā€™t stop singing certain tunes when Iā€™m bored. - ā€œSheā€™ll be coming round the mountainā€ - ā€œyouā€™re a grand ole flagā€ I also have to repeat words or phrases when Iā€™m bored - ā€œtake me to your leaderā€ - ā€œI am going to the mallā€ - ā€œnever have I everā€ :/ Edit: formatting


AshamedWrongdoer62

I feel the same about being useless without sun glasses.


Professional-Law-415

Posts like this truly make me feel as if Iā€™ve NEVER had an original thought šŸ˜­ Iā€™ve always said how not having my sunnies on the beach would be the hardest part of surviving 26 daysā€¦ meanwhile we have starvation, the elements, the challenges, and the 17 other Castaways to contend with. Those things all pale in comparison to the trauma of not having my lil aviators


Beans20202

I'm a terrible liar and also get very emotional/irritable when I'm hungry or tired. My producer interviews would probably just be me as a crying mess šŸ˜†


QueenM00nie

I hate the beach. Everything about itā€”sand makes me agitated, I get second degree burns from the sun, I hate salt water and the way it makes my hair feel, and I have a massive fear of the ocean (seriously, what if I step on some fish thatā€™s unknown to scientists and then i just die). AND no deodorant!! I would go crazy from everyone stinking up the camp. I just couldnā€™t do it no matter how much I try and convince myself I can


_RedHeadRedemption__

The sun. Iā€™m a pale ginger, Iā€™d have to apply sunscreen every hour and a half or I would ROAST


elvisprezlea

My anxiety is triggered by a fear of my blood sugar dropping, getting dehydrated or getting over heated and passing out. Any of those things triggers a panic attack. I bring a snack and water with me everywhere I go. Lack of sleep and stress make it worse. Iā€™m literally the worst possible candidate for the show lol


Technical-Narwhal593

The constant togetherness. If someone tries to go off on their own for a minute, suspicion and gossip begins. I need alone time, it doesn't mean I would be looking for the idol, even though I might, but people drive me bonkers after a while.


mizzymichie

Iā€™d be chronically worried about yeast infections/UTIs because of sand and unwashed undies.


thiccylongstockingz

literally every reason that has been listed


Practical-Jelly-5320

I would do anything an attractive woman would tell me to do


shepeesa

Oh god I didnā€™t even think about this. Iā€™m bisexual so Iā€™d do anything an attractive person told me to, really


kikiorangutan

I tend to get UTIs or yeast infections. I know day 2 of wearing a soggy bathing suit that Iā€™d be screwed


Sharp_Committee2210

A fan! Could not sleep without it šŸ˜€


Eriseurydice

I canā€™t go that long without crocheting


gabersssssss

I would actually lose my mind if I didnā€™t have lotion no joke.


oceanair-fir

I cant swim


Pixilatedlemon

abaci123

So. Much. Running.


TiredReader87

IBS-D Not that theyā€™d approve me due to sleep apnea and mental illness


Unusual_Sky420

verysmallraccoon

Iā€™d just be way too hungry to function


No_Progress4773

Hemorrhoids


mercurialpolyglot

Iā€™d have a sensory breakdown the first time a nail developed a jagged end and I didnā€™t have a nail file to make it smooth again


hex20

I suck at swimming. Other than that, Iā€™d be one of the greatest to ever play.


nickfehlinger

I canā€™t stand coconut

They've been shown popping in the water. šŸ˜‚


srekalz

i broke my pinky toe a few years back and it didnt heal right so it pushes up against the toe next to it. Normally I dont feel it during the day walking around but at night when trying to sleep I feel it pushing up against it and it annoys me so much I cant sleep till I put socks on. I feel like that would bother me the whole time im out there and make me grumpy


fg157

I have a long list


Illustrator_By_Day

No air conditioning.
