If you were stuck on an island with one teammate, who would it be, and why?
If I were stuck on an island with one teammate, I would have to pick Sari. She’s an engineer so she could build us a shelter out of anything. She is also a highly skilled fisherwoman, so I wouldn’t have to worry about food.
