1. Survivor

   Survivor is an American rock band formed in Chicago in 1978. The band achieved its greatest success in the 1980s with its arena rock sound, which garnered many charting singles, especially in the United States. The band is best known for its double platinum-certified 1982 hit "Eye of the Tiger," the theme song for the motion picture Rocky III. Singles like "Burning Heart", "The Search Is Over", "High on You", "Is This Love" and "I Can't Hold Back" continued to chart in the mid-1980s. The band tweaked its musical direction in 1988 with the release of the slightly heavier Too Hot to Sleep, but the album barely reached the Billboard 200 in the United States. Because of this, the band split. Singer Jimi Jamison later toured as 'Survivor' in the mid-1990s, to the chagrin of the rest of the band. Jamison reunited with the band's other members in 2000 and the band released Reach in 2006, but Jamison left the band after its release and was replaced by Robin McAuley. The band continued to tour with McAuley into 2011. An announcement on November 13, 2011 by Robin McAuley on his Facebook page revealed that he had left Survivor. A subsequent announcement on November 18, 2011 confirmed that Jimi Jamison had rejoined the band, and a tour was to take place in 2012.

   These people are falconers, you cannot take that away from them. Even if you take the trips away it is in their personality. Every human emotion is connected to being a falconer.

3. Katherine Hull:

   People aren't necessarily comfortable picking up a telephone and speaking to a live person as a first step, it's a powerful moment when a survivor says out loud for the first time 'I was raped' or 'I'm being abused,' so it's all the more important that the response is appropriate.

4. Kellee Kim:

   Its curious that Dan has decided to publicly apologize to me -- and just me -- on the eve of the #Survivor 39 finale for a series of inappropriate incidents that occurred months ago and impacted a number of women on set, i truly hope that some of this self reflection is real and that Dan changes his behavior going forward.

5. Frank Berton:

   He told me naturally that he has things to say and he will say them. He wants to talk, what counts and what matters for us as his lawyers is simply that he gets a fair trial, that he is sentenced for things he did and not things that he didn’t do. That’s vital because he is the sole survivor.
