KJ Austin - Bio

AU: Blood v Water bio

Official Ten AU: Blood v Water bio excerpts (January 24, 2022):

"As a Survivor super-fan, Kate (KJ) comes armed with the knowledge she has taken on after meticulously watching past seasons, and is excited to play with her younger sister, Sophie.

Two very different people, KJ is hoping to use some of Sophie’s traits to help her in the game as Sophie is a driven businesswoman who doesn’t take no for an answer.

What’s one thing people won’t expect from you? I absolutely love fishing and I’m great at it. My Dad taught me to fish down in Tasmania when I was a little girl and I have never been afraid to get my hands dirty.

What’s the strategy you’re both adopting going in? I think we’ll play our own game as we’re two very different people. I’ll try to play the game in line with my values and who I am here on the outside."
