“Survivor 43” contestant Karla Cruz Godoy is a 28-year-old educational project manager from San Diego that states, “Having to survive in real life is definitely what has prepared me to be on this show.” She admits in her CBS interview that she “kind of had to cheat.” Watch the full clip below.
“Growing up poor, you kind of have to learn how to fend for yourself,” she explains. “I had to steal to get by. Just being able to look someone in the eyes and literally lie to them” is a skill she hopes can translate to the game. Karla also reveals she can’t wait to start drama, “My family, they’re chismosas! A chismosa is someone who’s nosey. I want to know everything about you, but I’m not going to tell you everything about me.”
