Survivor 42: Get To Know Marya Sherron, 'Spicy' Stay-At-Home Mom
Marya Sherron is coming to Survivor 42 with a big heart and a knack for figuring other people out, and it's time to share information about the new castaway. She believes her people skills and resilience will take her far in the game. Marya will have a host of impressive competitors to deal with, but her ability to understand people's motives may be good enough to help her excel in the game.
Unfortunately, Survivor 41 wasn't everything fans were hoping for, with more deviations from the traditional setup than usual, and without the intended dramatic payoff. So, there's extra pressure on season 42 to live up to Jeff Probst's promise that it will be the most dangerous season yet. Audiences are eagerly awaiting the show's debut on March 9. The promo trailer promises an array of jaw-dropping twists and turns.
Marya describes herself as a writer, speaker, gardener, and Pilates enthusiast who is the perfect combination of spicy and sweet. She speaks her mind, but it always comes from a place of love. Her @marypatricesherron Instagram celebrates Black History Month, the power of a smile, and the value of overcoming body image issues. It also features information about the pros and cons of being a stay-at-home mom. Marya's overcome more than her fair share of hardship. She testified before Congress, asking hospitals to provide proper personal protective equipment after her brother Kious Kelley was the first nurse to die of Covid-19.
Mary is also an honest person who has shared that she was a college professor before 2020. She's said that being a stay-at-home mom is the most challenging job she's ever done. Therefore, she is proud of her "stay at home mom" title. When she isn't taking on her autistic son's homeschooling, doing laundry, or washing dishes, she says she does her best to prioritize self-care. Despite the ups and downs, downs, Marya has shown on her Instagram that her family is everything to her.
Marya shared with Entertainment Weekly that she respects herself for always being authentic. When it comes to her gameplay, she sees herself as "a mix between Angelina and Tony." This should serve Marya well among the Survivor season 42 cast. She also believes that a blend of staying under the radar and being charming could take her to the end and secure the tribal council vote. When asked if she could become the Sole Survivor, she explained, "My greatest asset is my emotional intelligence and ability to accurately read people. My game will be easy to argue at the final three. I believe being likable and smart/savvy pays off in the end and secures the vote."
Overall, Marya seems like she has the mental and physical agility to go all the way. As a teacher and mom, she's more than capable of navigating diverse personalities. She has proven time and time again that she can keep going and overcome obstacles. Marya looks like she's got a solid chance of maneuvering on a political level and winning over the Survivor 42 contestants.
