Indira "Indy" Saleh is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn II.
Despite being approached for an all-girl alliance before the Brains' first Tribal Council, Indy felt like an outsider and hesitated to commit. In a last-ditch effort to improve her standing in the game, she made a passionate pitch to Rich Hughes and Max Wills, but her plan backfired when they exposed her duplicity, uniting the tribe against her in a near-unanimous vote.

Indy (Brains)
Business Development Manager
Business manager by day and stand-up comedian by night, Indy is unapologetic and highly competitive.
A natural brain with a love for puzzles, Indy knows Survivor and what it takes to win which she's hoping to do to make her son proud.
She says, "On a scale of one to crazy competitive, I'm probably psycho. Extremely competitive. I don't actually want to be. I'd really like to be less competitive. But when it comes to this game, I am so excited and ready to play.
"I know the show and knowing the rules and information is absolute power. I've seen the game played and I understand what it's about. I read the criteria. You're in trouble on the Brawn team."
Indy also says growing up as an outsider will help her in the game saying, "I'm a black Muslim bisexual who grew up in Townsville. I've been voted out of tribes my entire life. I'm ready for this."
While she admits not being able to brush her teeth is her biggest fear on the island, she's hoping to play a game like Kirby who she says was direct, strategic and honest.[1]
