Kirk Harshaw

Kirk Harshaw is a contestant on Escape the Complex 1.

Known for his mutiny from the Donkey Kong Krew after feeling disdained by various members of the alliance, Kirk convinced his closest ally Hayden Flank in joining Tommy Frazier to form the Tomahawk Trio. Kirk managed to be an overbearing, but well-liked leader among his group in the start, being handed safety three consecutive times in the first quadrant. He incited controversy when he referred to his old alliance as "those other dumb pansies" which Lindsey Johnston blew the whistle on and caused a rift between him and Luke Baccarin. He was ejected by Shania Bissinger in the penultimate flight, who he would vote for on the jury to win, and gave Luke a memorable harangue on "basic kindness".

Three adjectives that describe you: Cunning, flavorful, dramatic

What do you think will be the most difficult part about escaping the complex?: Leaving my hubby at home. He breathes freshness into any room he enters, and playing the game without him is going to be gut-wrenching.

Do you have a strategy to win the game?: Opening up about myself as someone within the arts, and not flagrant journalism, will be my first step. Nobody will trust me if they knew my day job was spreading celebrity gossip. For puzzle challenges, I have trained myself to solve different sizes of Rubik's cubes and skimmed between the lines in riddle books to mentally and literally prepare for an extreme escape room mission.

What are you afraid of?: Dislocating any part of my body. The pain is insufferable.

What do you plan to do if you win the grand prize?: I plan to move to Manhattan with a bonus like that. A Victorian townhome with a rooftop jacuzzi is something I've dreamt and been in the market for since moving out of my buddy's attic.

Fun facts about yourself:

1) I run my own blog called "Dis/honourable Mentions".

2) Back in college, I hooked up with a baseball player I had a massive crush on during a trip to the beach.

3) I have steered a fishing boat for a sick captain back to shore minutes before a severe thunderstorm.
