Bhanu Gopal is a contestant from Survivor 46.
Setting out to win "a million hearts" over a million dollars, Bhanu's unabashed honesty and propensity for emotional histrionics cost him social capital with his Yanu tribemates. His confession to divulging information to the other tribes proved to be the final nail in his coffin and, against his desperate pleas, he became the third person voted out of his dwindling tribe.

How would your friends describe you? My friends have often called me adaptable and independent, because I've lived alone in many different cities.

What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Becoming a citizen of the United States of America.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I'm very good at making first-time impressions. Combined with my expressive social media presence, people often mistake me for an extrovert. However, I'm an introvert at heart.
