Will Glen Marais’ Ace ace the new Survivor series?
To follow his Survivor dream, Ace left behind his high school sweetheart, Shanice (25), and their two daughters, Jessica (4) and Gabriella (2)
A Kempton Park father of two young daughters is one of the 18 castaways in the latest South African Survivor series.
Adrian Chetty (28), better known as Ace, might be familiar to some fans as M-Net’s “Wild Card” winner after outlasting seven other wannabe Survivor castaways throughout gruelling challenges over the course of three days to clinch himself a spot on the series.
And all of this was done whilst he was strapped to a billboard in Johannesburg!
Ace, a graphic designer, might come across as an underdog but as we know, in the game of Survivor, looks can be deceiving. Ace believes that his strengths include his versatility to roll with the punches and his people skills, while his weaknesses include finding it difficult to say no to people.
Born is Lenasia, Ace stayed in Boksburg for a few years but has been a Kemptonian for the past 18 years.
He attended Kempton Park Primary School and matriculated at Sir Pierre Van Ryneveld High School.
In the sixth season of this popular global franchise, the 18 Survivor South Africa: Philippines castaways will be exposed to the beauty of thousands of islands connected by Pacific waters. Each island is home to distinct forests and bays which are teeming with indigenous wildlife, both beautiful and dangerous.
The aim of each contestant will be to outwit, outplay and outlast fellow competitors and to endure the stay longer than any previous South African winner has. They will have to persevere until Day 39 when the finalists will have to convince a jury of ousted contestants – who either directly or indirectly had a hand in voting people out of the game – to give them the title of Sole Survivor and the whopping cash prize that goes with it.
To follow his Survivor dream, Ace left behind his high school sweetheart, Shanice (25), and their two daughters, Jessica (4) and Gabriella (2).
Survivor South Africa: Philippines starts on M-Net Channel 101 on May 3 at 7pm.
