Ken is a 33-year-old model from Denver, CO.

He will be playing on the Takali (Gen X) Tribe when the franchise's 33rd season premieres Wednesday, September 21 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.

Ken believes he will excel in the game of Survivor because he has outdoor skills and physical attributes that will be an asset to those around him. He says he also understands and reads people well enough to know where to position himself.

Below is a list of 7 facts Reality TV World has compiled about Ken McNickle:

- He would describe himself as driven, mindful and perceptive. He loves hiking, camping, fishing, playing music and dancing.

- Ken's pet peeves include superficial connections and communication.

- His personal claim to fame is the development of his non-profit, HumaneKind, which helps those who are homeless and in need of assistance.

- The castaway's inspiration in life is the Dalai Lama because of his compassion, wisdom with forgiveness, and willingness to give of himself.

- Ken would compare himself to former Survivor castaway Ozzy Lusth (Cook Islands, Micronesia and South Pacific) because of his "easy temperament, fierce competitiveness, resourcefulness, and knowledge of how to survive in the wild." Ken also likes how Ozzy seemed idealistic and optimistic, in general.

- He wants to win Survivor in order to show his daughter, the love of his life, what his strengths are and what it looks like to fight for something.

- Ken can't sit still in one place for too long, mainly because he's curious and wants to explore as much in life as he can. He lived in Hawaii for five years but moved when his daughter came into the world.
