Official CBS.com Survivor: Samoa bio
page excerpts (8/27/09):
"Yasmin Giles is nicknamed 'Sassy Yassy' and is ready to
show everybody how she got this moniker. An opinionated
motor mouth from the Motor City, she always speaks her mind.
Growing up in Detroit, Yasmin claims her life experiences
have prepared her for anything that comes her way. She is
aware that her know-it-all attitude can rub people the wrong
way, but she doesn’t care. “If you’re
going to give it to somebody straight, real and raw, then a
big mouth doesn’t matter, because they are going to
think about what I said and realize Yasmin was right!”
Yasmin believes that once you get past her constant
chatter, she is likeable, funny and quick-witted. In
addition, working in a beauty salon has helped her learn how
to hustle because she is constantly competing with the other
employees for new clientele in order to earn a living. While
she may look feminine, Yasmin insists she’s a tomboy
at heart.
A firm believer in the mantra “winners never quit and
quitters never win,” Yasmin claims she’s a
winner and she’ll never quit Survivor.
“I want to do this and I want to take it all the
way.”
Yasmin is single and currently resides in Los Angeles,
Calif."
