Deaf contestant Ceilidh Marigold competes on Alone Australia

Ceilidh Marigold, a deaf contestant with a cochlear implant, is competing in the third season of Alone Australia. This season features equal numbers of men and women, including two participants with disabilities for the first time. Marigold, who dreams of self-sufficiency, can sleep through nighttime sounds by turning off her cochlear implant. She aims to inspire others with disabilities to pursue their dreams of survival in the wilderness. The season also includes diverse contestants, such as ecologist Tom Covell and Indigenous Youth Worker Matt Allwood. Each participant brings unique skills and backgrounds, contributing to a varied survival experience in Tasmania's wilderness.
