Meet Helen Li, one of the contestants on Survivor 44 on CBS, which premiered on 1 March 2023.
We can list so many reasons why Helen took herself to this show. The most important one is, she has been watching the show for over ten years and it’s her favorite show. So, believing that it is the ultimate game and ultimate adventure, all these years she decided to challenge herself and go on this reality game show to play for the “Sole Survivor” title. More about her, let us tell you in this writing called ‘Helen Li Bio’.
Helen Li On Survivor 44
The first episode of Survivor 44 dropped on 1 March 2023. And so, fans were introduced to Helen Li also. In her introductory video, she said that her being a pretty small person is going to make people underestimate her. But, the truth is, she said, she is pretty fearless. She also seemed quite confident that she had it in her to even win the competition.
Helen shared that she identifies with Erika from season 41. Helen said that both of them are small Asian women with a prospect of being underestimated in the corporate setting.
Before kickstarting the show with the “First Reward Challenge”, host Jeff Probst acquainted the audience with 18 contestants including Helen. Viewers learn that the three tribes of six are Ratu in orange, Soka in green, and Tika in purple. Helen is nominated as a team member in the Tika tribe.
During the challenge, Helen, a puzzle wiz, with Carson, a NASA Engineering Student, had to figure out the number of rings in the two spheres. They two solve the puzzle easily and quickly and bring their tribe into first place.
Eventually, the first episode this season saw injured Bruce struggling to stay on but ultimately saying goodbye. Helen and the others were safe.

She mentioned him in her answer to the interviewer’s question “What’s the best advice you received before coming out to play?”. She shared that her boyfriend and her parents were trying to give her advice.
