Survivor 49 preseason coverage continues as Mike Bloom interviews Kimberly “Annie” Davis, a 49-year-old musician and CEO from Austin, Texas. This dynamic contestant brings a wealth of life experience to the game, from her background in athletics to her successful business ventures and musical career.

Mike and Annie explore her diverse background, including her journey from trumpet player to CEO of a running biomechanics company, and her recent success as the frontwoman of award-winning band Trashy Annie. They discuss Annie’s approach to the game, her perceptions of other players, and her thoughts on Survivor strategy.

Mike and Annie discuss:

– Annie’s plans to downplay her business success, presenting herself primarily as a musician

– Positive attitudes and observant players as potential allies

– Being wary of physically strong players as threats to her game

– Annie’s aim to play a strong social game rather than relying on advantages

As Annie prepares to enter the game, she hopes her life experiences and adaptability will serve her well. Will her strategy of balancing authenticity with selective disclosure prove effective in the cutthroat world of Survivor?
