Survivor Island of the Idols cast assessment: Chelsea Walker, a true super fan

After applying for nearly six straight years, Chelsea Walker finally is on Survivor and is ready to put her superfan status to the test.

Going through thiscast of 20 new players, there’s been a mix of some who have applied several times before, and some who only needed one audition to get the call. Chelsea Walker may only be 26 years old, but she likely has the record for themost times appliedtoSurvivorout of this group of people. In fact,her first audition tape is on YouTubewith over 100,000 views.

Chelsea is currently living in Los Angeles working as a Digital Content Creator. That title doesn’t do her role justice, as she has the sick job of working for IMDb, which involves creating videos for the site and getting involved with special film and TV events. She mentioned inher interview with Mike Bloom at Paradethat a lot of her work has to deal with live events, which has required her to be adaptable and think of fast, creative solutions.

Those are great skills to have inSurvivor, especially when dealing with surprising twists and live Tribal Councils. In addition to her social game, Chelsea is undoubtedly a superfan. According toher CBS bio, she’s been watchingSurvivorsince she was just eight years old! She understands the game well, and on paper, she looks to have that perfect balance between being patient with her decisions and being eager to make a big move.

It’s interesting to note that Chelsea boldly claimed in her interview that she would be more than willing to give up Final Four Immunity to prove herself by making fire. She’s confident in her fire-making skills and her physicallity in challenges. It’s important to remember thatIsland of the Idolswas filmed asEdge of Extinctionwas airing, so this group of newbies had no clue of whatChris Underwood did to win it all. With that in mind, you can see how Chelsea knows what’s needed to winSurvivor, and she isn’t afraid to take those million-dollar risks.

The concern I have with Chelsea is her sheer excitement for this show. Is she going to be able to contain her fandom and strategic ability well enough to avoid being an early target? If Chelsea can take it slow and focus on building a strong social circle, she’ll be a real threat to sneakily take control of the game.
