Survivor Competitor a Strategist or an Imposter

The newest installment of Survivor in Samoa will be starting on September 17th. CBS is already showing video on youtube of one of their contestants. Apparently Russell Hantz has told people on the show that he is a firefighter in New Orleans.

The youtube video states: Russell has never lived in New Orleans, he’s not a firefighter, he doesn’t have a dog… so why is he telling everyone these things?

In all actuality, he is an oil company owner from Texas. So what do you think, is this savvy strategy or is he an imposter that has no business telling anyone that he is a firefighter? I guess my first thought is that it is he is an imposter and could potentially bring a bad name to firefighters. If you are not a firefighter, don’t say you are…ever! What do you think?
