Mike Zahalsky is hoping his dream of winning Survivor will come true this season.

Mike is a 43-year-old urologist from Parkland, FL, who has been referred to as "Doctor Mike" on Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers.
Mike started out the game as a member of the Healers tribe called "Soko," but he made the merge and is now a member of Solewa.
Mike appeared to build friendships and alliances easily thanks to his quirky and endearing personality, but he's had trouble finding people who intend to remain loyal to him at all costs. Mike, as a result, has been forced to flip-flop between groups in the tribe.
Mike has now found himself on the bottom and on the outs, but it's not too late to work some magic and turn the game upside down. Curious to learn more about him?
