Ori shared the WILD story of how he got cast on Survivor 51 “I think I have one of the most unique Survivor stories ever. Like, ever, ever, ever, ever. I’ll be honest, Survivor found me. It’s so funny because a young lady caught me on a dating site. And I don’t really use it, so I wasn’t on it. I didn’t check it. So I don’t know if she did her CIA/FBI work or she liked me that much, but she ended up finding me on a social media app and DMing me. And the message read, ‘Hey, Ori, I wanna hang out. I’m not in town anymore, but I just sent you a message because I think you’re like me, you probably don’t check the app.’ So I’m like, ‘Okay, cool. What’s up?’ She said verbatim, ‘I know we can’t hang out, but you look beautiful. You need to be on TV.’ Dalton, when I heard that, I’m like, ‘Yo, this is the best pickup line I’ve ever heard in my life! I’m gonna use this, throw this in my pocket. I might become Casanova throwing that one out, you know what I mean?’ But then she was like, ‘No, this is really what I do.’ I click on her page, and she’s a casting assistant. And then she connected me with the amazing Penny [from Survivor casting], and it was supposed to be a five-minute call just to see would Survivor be something that made sense for me, but we end up talking on the phone for two hours. She fell in love with me. I fell in love with her. I fell in love with Survivor. And I ended up in Fiji. Can you believe that? That’s crazy.” (Via: EW/Dalton Ross) #Survivor51
