With her background in the Lingerie Football League, Mikayla is confident that she will do well in challenges.
"My name's Mikayla. I'm 21. I now live in Tampa, Florida, originally from New Jersey. I bartend and also play in a professional woman's football league. "

"The women's league I play in is the Lingerie Football League. It's a woman's competitive, full tackle, 30 by 50 arena. It's full tackle, You name it, we hit it just as hard as the guys in the big leagues."

"I grew up playing sports. I played basketball, softball, and soccer. So this league right here was a godsend for me."

"There's 20 girls in a team. We are known as the Lingerie Football League Ladies, or the Tampa Breeze Girls."

"Being a bartender is really gonna help me in this game, I think, because you see people in every state of mind, whether they're drunk, they're sober, they're happy, they're sad, they have friends, they don't have friends. You have to deal with them. You have to make them happy, because if they're not happy, they're gonna leave. Their tips are gonna pay your bills. Just seeing people and having to be their friend and finding something in common and find something to communicate with them about is really gonna help me in this game."

"Off the bat, I'm not gonna go full out in every challenge. I don't wanna be seen as a huge physical threat, as a female. I don't want to put a target on my head right to begin with. I'm probably gonna lay somewhat in the mix with them, but I think when it comes down to it and individual immunity comes into play, I'll be going balls to the wall with everything. There's gonna be no holding back. But to start with I'm gonna lay low in the challenges, physically."

"I think I do have a little head start in some of these challenges. I think just from being on a field, you never know what's gonna happen. Something say, I drop something in a challenge, I've already thought of a way to pick it up fast, regain my balance, already get going. In a game you never know what's gonna happen, you're ready for 4 different things to happen. In this game I think I'll be ready for whatever comes at me."

"In this game, I think I have a very good chance of winning. I do think I have some tendencies that I watched in this past season, somewhat of Boston Rob, to kinda relax with people, but behind the scenes, these wheels are just turning in my head. I'm thinking of every next move I'm gonna make, if I'm talking to somebody, I'm thinking of something else. I think I have a really good chance. As I said before, physically, mentally, I'm there for it. Socially is probably gonna be the hardest part, trying to keep everybody together, trying to keep everybody from starting new ties here and there. I've just gotta be on top of everybody, I think, and then I'll be good."

"Winning Survivor does come with the million dollar check, which I would be thrilled to have. Moving down here was hard, having to keep a job to keep a roof over my head. When football came about, it was even hard to keep a job and keep what I have going. Going to school's been a really hard thing for me to keep up. First thing I'd do with it is finish college. I want to have a degree. It's always something to fall back on. I also want to help my family up north. My mom's worked hard, she's a single mom, and I think it's about time she gets to relax. Take care of my little sisters for a little while for her, and help out with the family big time."

"We know there's going to be 2 people returning. Of course I didn't want any of them returning, but it's going to help out shelter-wise, because they've been here before, they know what works, doesn't work. I'm looking forward to that part. When it comes back to the social game, it's going to be a pain, because they know what worked for them last time and what didn't. They know how to twist. Look at Boston Rob last year. He knew exactly what to do. Having somebody like that who is smart and has everything set out like that, it's gonna be rough to work with."

"Coming into this game, I do have a strategy. What I'm gonna do, I'm probably gonna team up with somebody of the opposite sex. A guy. I'm gonna have the guy kind of round up the boys. The guy and I are going to go one and two to the end together, we're gonna stick to our guns, we're each gonna drag in 2 or 3 people with us, have them be a little group, or think it's all girls or all guys. We're gonna feel it out. Have them team up on each other. We're gonna try to run the show here. If something's happened, we're gonna roll with the punches. After the merge, we'll try to stick together as a solid group, then just try to whittle down the other tribe, and take it from there."

"Coming into this game, I am single. I'm most likely going to use my flirting to lure guys in and follow what ideas I have. I am kind of a tomboy, so getting me to flirt with somebody is gonna be a little pain, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm definitely gonna use the flirtatiousness to my advantage."

"Going into this, I'm excited at this point. The nerves have passed. All the other stuff is out the window. I wanna get in the game. I can only think and strategize so much until I'm actually there. I'm making myself go crazy. I just wanna be in it, so I can get a clear picture of what I want to do, who I wanna bring in, who's my first little victim; stuff like that. I'm just ready to roll."
