Gladimir Toknokemoutev age: 27 Born: Chernobyl, Russia Now residing in the foothills of Tennessee

Since that glorious event called glasnost, I have come to America to seek fame and riches. I have found a home in the foothills of Tennessee with a fine southern family, the Polks. Jim Bob, Mary Sue, Little Joe Bob, and of course Becky Jo have made shown me that great hospitality those in the South are known for. I hope to make them proud of me by becoming a champion in EKO. I train very hard by working in the fields and running along the creek with their blue tick hound dog named "General Jackson". With the great Russian heart I was born with and the great Southern pride I have learned since moving here, I know that one day I will reach my dream and become a champion.
