She will be playing on the Vanua (Millennials) Tribe when the franchise's 33rd season premieres Wednesday, September 21 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.
Hannah has a goofy personality and self-deprecating humor. She's been a fan of Survivor since she was 14-years-old and has hosted viewing parties with her friends in which they'd pretend to eat worms and dirt (gummy worms and Oreos) and indulge in Reward Challenge food. Want to learn more?
Below is a list of 7 facts Reality TV World has compiled about Hannah Shapiro:

- While it's been a dream of hers to compete on Survivor, she's not sure she can actually survive on the island. She trips walking down a sidewalk, so she imagines the same type of thing happening in the wilderness.
- Hannah would describe herself as nerdy, competitive and weird. She totally owns the fact she's "awkward."
- The castaway's pet peeves include someone who likes to kill people (what?) as well as people who stick gum on public benches and fart in small elevators. She also fears the dark, bugs, death and loneliness.
- Hannah's hobbies include skiing, scuba diving, eating, and hula-hooping.
- Her personal claim to fame is starring as Ben Franklin in her eighth-grade production of 1776. She apparently sang out of tune but people clapped, so it was an "electric moment of fame."

- Hannah's inspiration in life is her mother, who has super-human levels of toughness. While Hannah cries if she bumps her arm into something too hard or watches a video of a cat being tickled, her mom is the opposite. Hannah calls her a "warrior."
- Hannah believes she's most like former castaway John Cochran (South Pacific and Caramoan) in that they could control the game while not seeming threatening. They also both wrote college essays on the game of Survivor and she admires Cochran's buff collection.
