Who is Nicole Mazullo, Philly’s new Survivor contestant?
Nicole Mazullo is a 26-year-old financial crime consultant in Philadelphia, who is ready to play a social game in the show’s newest season.
Originally from Long Island, New York, Mazullo grew up with a hearing loss, which she said made her an expert in body language and in reading lips. She hopes these skills will help her advance her game.
While she is a crime consultant, it doesn’t seem that she plans to play “Survivor” by the rules.
“I’m not voting for an honest game player, and I’m so upfront about that,” she said in an interview with Parade.
“You want to be honest? Go to the Olympics. Go on ‘American Ninja Warrior.’ Join the Catholic Church. Do anything else!” she added.
Charming, smart, manipulative and emotionally intelligent players are her favorites, and she hopes to bring those elements into her game, she told Entertainment Weekly.
Mazullo is self-described as a jovial, quick-witted, adaptable person who loves New York bagels. In her free time, she enjoys playing pickleball and dining out with her girlfriend.
