'Survivor: Gabon': A survival guide

Would-be Survivor: Paloma Soto-Castillo

How she's been surviving: Born in Chile, Soto-Castillo moved around the southeastern United States as a child, finally moving to California, where she waits tables while purusing her post-graduate teaching credentials.

Why she might survive Gabon: Soto-Castillo lived in the wilds of Kenya on her own for a few months, though the wild animals she faced there probably pale in comparison to the ferocity of her "Survivor" competitors.
