Mai Pham

 is a contestant from Survivor: Phu Quoc- Guerrillas.

Profile
Name (Age): Mai Pham (22)

Current Residence: Tacoma, Washington

Occupation: Barista

Claim To Fame: Graduating as Valedictorian of my High school, and getting a good scholarship, so I could use my job to save instead of paying my way through like my parents. It was a huge relief to my family.

Hobbies: I play Basketball and bike around everywhere. I’m too poor to have a car.

Pet Peeves: I know a lot of people in the service industry hear this too much, but when someone says I should make something of myself if I want to have their respect, like they know me or my story.

What does being on the Grunt Tribe mean to you? We all take a lot of crap from a lot of people, but we look out for each other and ease the workload, at least if we’re good teammates

Survivor Contestant You are most like: Julia Solokowski. I always look up to the younger girls of a season who break the stigma and stand out in their own way.

Reason For Being on Survivor: I want to get out of my job, no offense to anyone there, I love it, but I want to do more for myself and give back to my parents. My dad is a first generation american, and my grandpa was a war refugee, so we don’t come from much and they work hard even today.

Why do you think you with “survive” Survivor: I’m a no-nonsense, hardworking girl. I’m young, physically fit and smarter than the average bear. I’m a very competitive person, so I won’t quit until the game is done, one way or the other. I’ll either get to the end, or go out on a stretcher.

What will make you the Sole Survivor: I’m not a quitter, I haven’t had it easy in life, but I’ve never once thought about giving up. I’ve always persevered and overcome any obstacles in my way, so I’ll keep doing that here. That may sound overly simplified, but it’s true. I’m looking out for me, and I’ll do my best, whether my best is good enough, who knows.
