Kate (Brawn)

Dancer/DJ

Melbourne based DJ and dancer, Kate is bubbly, bright and that’s exactly how she wants people to see her.

Wearing one of her dancer style outfits for Survivor might confuse her fellow tribemates but she knows what she’s doing. Kate says, “Look at what I’m wearing on the first day – it’s rhinestone and denim. My whole outfit is just to look like a girly girl. I think they are gonna get the wrong perception, I think they're not gonna think that I'm here for the right reasons which is totally fine with me.

“I do like people to see me as my Instagram self, rather than my real self. Because then they're just going to go, oh, she's not a threat, we'll keep her in for now. And then I'm just going to be like, boom! I am here to push myself and see how far I can get.”

She admits she will play an emotional game but hopes they won’t see it as a weakness and know it’s her passion that is driving her.

Pushing herself is something Kate knows a lot about as she suffers from OCD which can be mentally draining and physically demanding.

Kate says, “My OCD is something that really, really causes a bit of hardship on my life. I find that it really challenges me. So I know what it's like to feel challenged mentally, but also physically. I'm constantly walking in and out of doors, sitting up and down on my bed.

“My perception of Brawn is my mental strength. It sometimes takes me 10 goes to pick up a drink or sitting down on my bed can sometimes take me a whole hour. But I push through, and I won’t let it stop me.”
