 September
4, 2006: Candice-related clips from TV Guide Channel's "Survivor:
Cook Islands Preview"
show:
Cirie Fields: "As a straight-A student, and the youngest
player, 23-year-old Candice has a take-charge personality that
should serve her well in the game."
Probst: "If I were picking people who have a shot at winning,
I'd put Candice on that list."
Candice: "I've played sports, I love to work out, so I mean,
I've got outdoor experience... My parents always used to tell
me when I was little, um 'Candice, you have to learn how to let
somebody else win sometimes, 'cause I always wanted to you know,
be first place. And I think that pissed people off sometimes."

September 1, 2006: News brief from the Georgetown
daily student newspaper, The Hoya:
"New Season of Survivor Features Graduate
Student
When Candice Woodcock (GRD ’07) headed to the white sand
beaches of the Cook Islands in the South Pacific this summer,
relaxation was the last thing on her mind.
Instead, her goal was to 'outlive, outplay and outlast' 19 other
contestants in the hope of winning $1 million on the 13th season
of the CBS reality show Survivor, which premieres Sept.
14.
Woodcock is prohibited from speaking to the media until an episode
airs in which she is eliminated from the show, or wins the cash. Her
father, Michael, said she has always enjoyed watching Survivor and
valued the experience over the possible monetary gain.
'I’d say we’ve all been fans of
the program since its inception,' Michael Woodcock said. 'Candice
is a very adventurous person … and I think it’s
more the adventure than the money.'
Woodcock, who graduated from the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill in 2004 with a degree in biology and psychology,
is currently studying for a Master’s degree in biophysics
and physiology at Georgetown."

August 23, 2006: Officially revealed as a
Survivor: Cook Islands contestant on CBS's The Early Show.
From her official CBS bio:
"Candice Woodcock was born and raised in Fayetteville, North
Carolina. She graduated from Terry Sanford High School where
she was president of her class and captain of the soccer and
cross country teams. She received a perfect score on the math
portion of her SATs.
Woodcock won full merit scholarships to both the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University. She accepted
the Morehead Scholarship to attend UNC-Chapel Hill and eventually
received her Bachelor of Science Degree in biology and psychology
with a minor in chemistry.
SURVIVOR: AFRICA inspired Woodcock to do service work in Africa.
Following her freshman year of college, she spent 10 and a half
weeks living in a mud hut with a tribal family in the western
highlands of Kenya. She taught primary and secondary school in
the village and designed her own service project where she ran
a clinic that distributed over 700 pairs of eyeglasses that had
been donated by parties in the United States. Inspired by her
work in Kenya, Woodcock became the fundraising director and then
executive director of Students for Students International, a
completely student-run, non-profit organization at UNC-Chapel
Hill that gives scholarships to students in Zimbabwe and Tanzania.
Woodcock also spent a summer studying health care in Chile and
Peru and another summer splitting her time between work at the
Cancer Clinic at George Washington University Hospital and La
Clinica del Pueblo, a free Latino clinic in Washington, D.C.
After graduation, Woodcock decided to take a year off before
continuing her studies. She worked full-time for six months as
an Assistant Director of Clinical Trials and as a Director of
External Practice Development for an ophthalmology practice,
and then part-time for the following six months. She has just
begun graduate school at Georgetown University to attain a Master's
Degree in physiology and biophysics. She then plans to attend
medical school. She hopes to use her medical degree to do service
work in developing countries and also in underserved areas of
the U.S.
Woodcock enjoys spending time with her family and friends, working
out, playing sports, being in the water and playing with her
dog, Louis James.
Woodcock currently resides in Washington, D.C. Her birth date
is November 12, 1982. "
