Survivor: Taiwan - One World
Name (Age): Quincy Clerk (71)

Current Residence: Las Vegas, NV

Occupation: Casino Manager

Personal Claim to Fame: That would have to be overcoming my gambling addiction. It was ruining my entire life because I was destroying my savings and my relationship with my family and friends. It took me realizing that I was about to lose everything and everyone I cared about before I was finally able to get some help and now for the past 3 years I've not so much as bought a lottery ticket or played a game of poker. That's huge considering the fact that I'm work at a casino all day.

Inspiration in Life: Absolutely my wife Patricia. She's so strong every day and she was my rock while I was going through this hard time in my life. She suffered so much and I hurt her with my gambling addiction yet she never gave up on me and she helped me overcome my addiction. I am forever in her debt.

Pet Peeves: People who take everything for granted. You never know when the things you have could be taken away from you and it infuriates me to see people treat their loved ones and prized possessions as if they hardly matter.

3 Words to Describe You: Thankful, Hopeful, Calm

Survivor Contestant You're Most Like: While I would like to say I'm like Tom Westman, I think I have to be realistic and say I'm more like Bruce Kanegai because we we're both calm people and while we may not be strong in challenges, we are always trying to lift people's morales

Reasons for Being on Survivor: Even though the obvious answer is the money, and though that's part of the reason I'm out here, I'm actually mainly out here for the experience. I've let the fear of money control my life too much and I want to be on Survivor to see the wonderful scenery of the land and show myself what's most important to me.

Why You Think You'll Survive Survivor: Even though I'm not as strong as some of the younger people in challenges, I think my hard work ethic around camp will be appreciated around camp and I think it'll also allow me to help bond with some of my tribemates so that they're more willing to keep me around.

Why You Think You'll Be the Sole Survivor: I gotta admit, it's going to be a little hard because the older males tend to be eliminated at the start of the game for being weak in challenges. That said, aside from trying to make sure that I form bonds with my fellow tribe mates so that they'll keep me in the game, I'm not really going in with a set game plan because Survivor is an ever changing game and I wanna see what my tribe is like and what sort of twists there'll be before I come up with a more detailed game plan.
