BOSTON—Two Massachusetts thrill-seekers will be testing their will as cast members of CBS’s Survivor.

Julia Sokolowski of Boston and Aubry Bracco of Cambridge will be shipped off to Kaoh Rong to compete in Survivor’s 32nd edition, Survivor: Kaoh Rong. Bracco and Sokolowski will begin her pursuit of the $1 million Survivor prize on Feb. 17.

Sokolowski is a 19-year-old Public Relations student at Boston University and is the youngest female to ever compete on the show, according to the Daily Free Press. She is competing on the Beauty tribe, and believes her social skills will take her to the top.

“I have amazing social skills, because I’m majoring in PR, so I’m studying strategic ways to persuade and manipulate people. I have strong instincts and I am very athletic. I’ve always been competitive and I am a hard working, smart girl,” Sokolowski wrote in her Survivor bio.

Bracco is a 29-year-old Social Media Marketer who graduated from Brown University with honors. She will be competing in the Brains tribe on the show, and believes her keen observational skills will help her become the last woman standing.

“I’m an expert listener and a journalist at heart so I’m inherently observant and social,” Bracco wrote in her bio. “I look for the most genuine and self-aware person in the room so I can connect with them, and I’m on the prowl for the most fake person in the room so I know what I’m dealing with. I want to prove to myself that I have what it takes to manage personalities under pressure with $1,000,000 on the line.”

Sokolowski and Bracco join a cast full of interesting characters. The ages of the cast range from 19 to 72 years of age, and features a semi-retired NBA player, a bounty hunter from Detroit and an “ice cream entrepreneur” from California among others.

CORRECTION: Earlier versions of this story detailed that Trish Hegarty of Needham would be competing on the show. She will not be competing on this season of Survivor.
