Kamilla Karthigesu, a contestant on the highly anticipated Survivor 48, is confident that she will emerge victorious. As one of the 18 participants in this season's lineup, Kamilla believes her diminutive stature will be her greatest asset. This season, filmed amidst the scenic beauty of Fiji, promises to be a gripping adventure as it premieres on February 26 on CBS.
Kamilla, who stands at just 5'1", describes herself as "height-challenged" and embraces her role as an underdog. In an exclusive video, she expressed her determination to outwit, outplay, and outlast her fellow contestants, stating:
"My name is Kamilla Karthigesu and I will win Survivor 48 because no one will see me coming," – Kamilla Karthigesu
She further elaborated on her strategy, humorously pointing out her advantage:
"I'm five-one. I speak like an idiot and so no one will literally see me coming. I mean… literally… I am down here! Everyone's eyes are, like, their eye level is up here! They're all like a foot taller than me. They won't see me coming!" – Kamilla Karthigesu
Kamilla is among a diverse cast described as a "collection of ragtag misfits," each contestant bringing their own unique flair to the competition. Sitting in majestic Fiji before the game begins, they are all hoping to win the favor of the jury by the season's end. Kamilla stands out for her kind and simple demeanor, qualities she believes will earn her the jury's admiration.
Her confidence is shared by other contestants, including Kyle Fraser, who stated:
"My name's Kyle Fraser and I'm going to win Survivor 48 because I'm the best average guy you'll ever meet," – Kyle Fraser
As the competition unfolds, viewers can expect intense challenges, strategic alliances, and unexpected twists. Kamilla’s self-assuredness and quirky personality may indeed play to her advantage as she navigates the complexities of the game.
