Viola (Titan)

Powerlifter

A Titan by nature, Viola is a tough cookie both physically and mentally. A clear physical threat, she will also use her charm to get ahead.

A powerlift and strength and conditioning coach, Viola isn’t sure how much she’ll tell her tribe about what she does or that she’s only 22. She can bench press 95 kilos, squat 155 times and has broken five national records.

From a family of thirteen, Viola says, “I’m from South Sudan and when I was two, my mum passed away. We moved to Australia and we are a happy family, minus one and that changed my entire life. I had to learn to be an adult before I was ready to be one. I had to grow up a lot quicker than most.”

But she jokes that living with so many people has got her ready to make alliances and fight for her place at camp. She says, “The thing with a big family is there are always sides. Everyone’s going to fight over food, over the TV, so you have to be strategic and I can deal with different personalities.”
