One of the 18 castaways determined to outwit, outplay, and outlastSurvivorSeason 47 is Sue Smey.
Who Is Sue Smey?
I am always looking for adventure and something exciting to do.
So in my 50s, I said, ‘You know what?
I’m going to just become a pilot.’
All by myself, nothing from anybody else, no handouts.
It’s 100% mine, and I’m so damn proud of it."
This was definitely something that is totally me.
I love a challenge.
I love the thought of having to figure out how to survive.
And even back then, I knew I would be on the show one day.
And at that time, my daughter, who was seven years old, helped me make a video.
I just never sent it in.
And then she started getting sick.
We didn’t know what was wrong with her.
It was a very difficult time in our lives.
She ended up being diagnosed with juvenile diabetes.Our world was turned upside down."
And that’s something that was always so true to my heart."

My daughter, now she’s 30 years old.
Every time an episode would air, she would text me, ‘Mom, you should do this.
Oh my god, Mom, you’d be so good at this.’

So her and I made my second video, but this time I mailed it in.
And here I am.
So she definitely was my motivation to remind me to be who I was all these years."

These people look at the old person.
They think were the weak person here."
And my grandson will always remember his grandma kicking butt on Survivor.'"

Im not afraid of anything or anyone.
I will take the lead and follow my gut.
I will take out the threats and work on manipulating the others to do what I suggest.

They will see following me will help to get them far and all will respect how I played."
Survivor47premiered on Wednesday, September 18.
New episodes air on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ## LATEST NEWS
