Hannah Shapiro is stumbling her way through Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X, but she's still in it!

ADVERTISEMENT
Hannah is a 24-year-old writer and barista from Boston, MA, who currently resides in West Hollywood, CA.

She's playing on the Vanua (Millennials) Tribe and managed to work her way into the majority alliance she had initially poked fun at -- the "pretty people" alliance or the "cool kids." Hannah initially considered herself to be working with the "Freaks and Geeks."

Hannah has a goofy personality and self-deprecating humor. She totally owns the fact she's "awkward." Want to learn more about her?

Below is a list of 8 facts Reality TV World has compiled about Hannah Shapiro:

- She's been a fan of Survivor since she was 14-years-old and has hosted viewing parties with her friends in which they'd pretend to eat worms and dirt (gummy worms and Oreos) and indulge in Reward Challenge food.

- Hannah wasn't confident she could even survive in the game because she can barely avoid tripping on the sidewalk when walking in a straight line.

- Hannah would describe herself as nerdy, competitive and weird.

- The castaway's pet peeves include someone who likes to kill people (what?) as well as people who stick gum on public benches and fart in small elevators. She also fears the dark, bugs, death and loneliness.

- Her personal claim to fame is starring as Ben Franklin in her eighth-grade production of 1776. She apparently sang out of tune but people clapped, so it was an "electric moment of fame."

- Hannah's hobbies include skiing, scuba diving, eating, and hula-hooping.

- Hannah's inspiration in life is her mother, whom she says has super-human levels of toughness. While Hannah cries if she bumps her arm into something too hard or watches a video of a cat being tickled, her mom is the opposite. Hannah calls her a "warrior."

- Hannah believes she's most like former castaway John Cochran (Survivor: South Pacific and Caramoan) in that they could control the game without seeming threatening. They also both wrote college essays on the game.
