Kim Spradlin

Kim Spradlin is the winner of Survivor: One World, a frequent guest on Rob Has a Podcast, and the third place finisher in Miss Survivor 2013.

Bio

Kim started the game on a tribe of all women, and was brought into the majority alliance with Alicia Rosa, Chelsea Meissner, Kat Edorsson, and Sabrina Thompson. She was able to mantain control of the alliance and, after the swap, formed a secondary alliance with Jay Byars, Michael Jefferson, and Troyzan Robertson. At the merge, she chose to side with the women once again and summarily eliminated the men. Throughout the merge, Kim collectively won four of the last five Immunity Challenges, and, with a Hidden Immunity Idol in her possession, Kim was essentially invincible. Following her victory at the final two Immunity Challenges, and the eliminations of Alicia and Christina, Kim found herself in the final three with her closest friends, Chelsea and Sabrina. Kim's quiet yet destructive strategy earned the respect and votes of seven of nine Jury members, crowning her as the 24th Sole Survivor. At the live Reunion Show, Kim won an additional $100,000 for winning the Fan Favorite Award.

Other Appearances and Facts

Kim's Tundra CAPtion Contest Entry

• Kim took a picture of herself as an entry in Rob's "Tundra CAPtion Contest". She is depicted standing in her bridal store wearing a tundra hat made by fellow Survivor winner Aras Baskauskas. The winning caption in the contest belonged to user Brian Whitehead, who entered "The Bride may get cold feet, but you won’t with a Tundra Hat."
• Kim's last name has become an RHAP meme, specifically because of Tony Vlachos's mispronunciation of it as "Sprawdlin" during his post-season interview.
