Regan Foa'i | Know Your Roots 2022

He’s come straight off air to hop on tv!

Regan Foa'i aka. Just The Norms took a little break from hosting hit radio show “The Morning Shack” and social media creation to prove that he knows his roots.

The radio host and content creator enter the competition representing our smaller Pacific islands, Niue and Tokelau. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t bringing big competition.

He’s a big personality with a few tricks up his sleeve. Which by our surprise he said isn’t any particular physical skills but actually his comedic strengths. Saying, “Humor will be my secret strength to get people of my side. They’ll think he’s funny let’s keep him around”

Regan comes ready to remind his fellow competitors that small islands know their roots best. “I was so keen to represent. I haven’t seen any Niuean’s before. I’ve saw Lady Shaka last season repping Tokelau, so I wanted to bring Tokelau again, together with Niue. Also, its really about learning a bit more about the Pacific islands. I’m keen to know more about our region and educate myself a bit more” he stated.

When asked if he had prepared for the next few weeks of challenges he said, “I’ve done 10 sit ups and watched the previous seasons over the weekend”

He might’ve only done 10 sit-ups but he’s still confident that he has everything it takes to win, or at least make it to the finale. “I’m a threat man! I’m aiming to make it to at least the top 3” the radio host told us.

“I wanna show everyone that the smaller islands out here can show out. We’re on the map here, the same as everyone else” says the proud Tokelau Niuean competitor. This season of Know Your Roots Regan hopes to make Alofi and Fakaofo proud.
