According to press materials from CBS, Holden is a 24-year-old real estate agent. She's the only Texan in the bunch (though Caleb Reynolds, a former Big Brother contestant, is originally from Dallas).

The theme of the new Survivor is "Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty," and six people who fit each category will be grouped together to brave the conditions on the island Kaôh Rōng in Cambodia. Dallas woman Holden will be part of the "Brawn" tribe alongside a bodybuilder, a postal worker, a bounty hunter, a construction worker and a former NBA player.

"People might think, you know, oh Malibu Barbie is out here -- some prissy girl or a cheerleader," Holden tells the camera. "I'm far from that."

Some of the castaways she'll be competing with include a 72-year-old former FBI agent, an ice cream entrepreneur from California and a pro poker player.
