Official M-Net SurvivorSA: Philippines bio (May, 2018):
"Tevin is a Survivor boffin who has watched every season of every franchise – sometimes watching individual seasons up to 15 times! This doctor, whose interests lie in the fields of neuroscience, behavioural science and physical cosmology, believes that Survivor is the best human social experiment on Earth. Tevin plans to do a lot of lying on the island, as he feels that the only way to play a successful social and strategic game is to have his competitors eating out of the palm of his hand. A hero to the tribe and a villain to the viewers, Tevin’s all time favourite player of the game is Boston Rob."
Official SurvivorSA: Return of the Outcasts M-Net bio (6/5/22):
"Tevin Naidu qualified as a medical doctor at Stellenbosch University. He is interested in neuroscience and wants to specialise in that field. He won the Mr India South Africa title when he was 18 and was a presenter on Eastern Mosaic.
Naidu has a master's degree in philosophy, ethics and mental health and, as someone passionate about the human condition, he intends to use that knowledge to play a better game.
He and his mum have watched Survivor together since he was 7 – he calls himself a Survivor Encyclopaedia. Naidu is determined to cement his place in the Survivor SA history books as one of the best the game has ever seen. He wants to be recognised and revered as one of the best players in the world and he will stop at nothing to achieve it."
