Nneka Ejere, a Texas resident who was born and raised in Nigeria, immigrated to the United States with her parents 16 years ago. She was about 27 years old at the time. Ejere said in her introduction video for the forthcoming program that her life experiences had prepared her for the reality competition show, adding:
“‘Survivor’ is all about playing to your strengths. I’m an awful liar. I’m not going to lie. That’s how I’ve raised my children. But my grin is an important part of who I am.”
She also said that she could use her grin as a tool, which she intends to use in the performance as well. Ejere, who will join the Vesi tribe, also stated:
“I wouldn’t be here unless I was completely certain I could win.”
Aside from Lindsay Carmine and Mike Gabler, Ejere is one of the elder contenders to keep an eye on.
More details about Survivor 43
The American reality television competition franchise Survivor is based on the Swedish television series Expedition Robinson. Expedition Robinson, created by Charlie Parsons, aired in 1997. The first season of Survivor debuted on CBS in 2000 and went on to become one of the most popular series in the world, even exceeding the original. It is hosted by Jeff Probst, who also serves as an executive producer with Mark Burnett and the original creator, Jim Parsons. The participants are sent to a secluded area where they must find food, fire, and shelter for themselves. The candidates engage in a variety of tasks, including physical and mental ability assessments, among other things. They are then removed by their peers based on their endurance and talents. The final participant standing wins the title of ‘Sole Survivor,’ as well as $1 million in prize money.
In May 2022, production for the 43rd season started in Fiji. The first program will be two hours long, followed by a 90-minute installment the following week, on September 28. According to Gold Derby, the candidates come from many walks of life and cultural origins. This is in accordance with the network’s 50% diversity goal, which took effect in 2020. This requires that at least half of its reality TV cast by Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC).
Ejere will be seen with Cody Assenmacher, Justine Brennan, Noelle Lambert, Jesse Lopez and Dwight Moore, Geo Bustamante, Lindsay Carmine, Cassidy Clark, Karla Cruz Godoy, James Jones and Ryan Medrano, Mike “Gabler” Gabler, Owen Knight, Sami Layadi, Elisabeth “Elie” Scott, Morriah Young, and Jeannette Zheng.
