Why Christa Thinks She's a Survivor: Christa believes it's her food-making skills.
KIdzworld's Opinion: This girl annoys cops and her only skill is cooking. She'll be booted early. Then again, people like Heidi, Neleh and Elisabeth made it pretty far on nothing but a perky smile - so who knows?

Why Michelle Thinks She's a Survivor: Michelle believes her sense of humor will help her to get through difficult situations.
Kidzworld's Opinion: Michelle Tesauro is one of those annoying, young pretty things whose biggest contribution to Survivor will be her multiple bikini changes. She may be voted off early but, hey, didn't this exact type of girl win a million bucks on Survivor Amazon?

Why Trish Thinks She's a Survivor: Trish thinks it's her athletic skills.
Kidzworld's Opinion: Trish is levelheaded and atheletic. She should be in the final four - but this is Survivor and nothing makes sense on this show, so she'll be gone by the fourth episode.

Why Burton Thinks He's a Survivor: Burton Roberts believes it's his experiences as an Eagle Scout and an adventure racer.
Kidzworld's Opinion: Burton has said that he's studied the show and how people have won. Brainiacs on deserted islands are no fun - he's gonna get voted off within the first three episodes.
