Adrian Morris

 is a contestant from Survivor: Mauritius.

Profile
Name (Age): Adrian Morris (32)

Tribe Designation: Le Morne

Current Residence: Fort Worth, TX

Occupation: Tattoo Artist

Claim to Fame: Setting up my own tattoo parlor in downtown Fort Worth, totally. It’s been, like, my dream to run my own business and not have to answer to anybody. I can put all of my passion and drive into each and every tattoo I create without having to care about if somebody doesn’t like what I do or how I act. I’m my own master.

Inspiration in Life: Rosa Parks. She was told her entire life how to act because of the color of her skin, and one day, she decided, “f*** it, I’ll sit in the front of the bus anyways.” That kind of independence, of rebellion against the status quo, is exactly how I want to live my life. She fought the system and changed it for the better, and my goal is to do the same.

Hobbies: Walks through the city at night, feeding my pet snake Tammy, and listening to and going to concerts for my favorite bands, Waterparks and My Chemical Romance (I’m still not over their breakup!).

Pet Peeves: Toxic masculinity and gender roles. Men should be allowed to show emotions and have a soft side, but some men and even some women are obsessed with the idea of men being strong, stoic, unemotional husks when that way of thinking does nothing but hold up the status quo. I can cry if I want to, I can get angry if I want to, and if I want to smile, let me smile! The worst is when other guys call me “gay” because I show emotions when I feel them. How the f*** is that gay? “Gay” being an insult is another issue, too, but I won’t delve too much into that. It’s just toxic and damaging to not only men, but women as well.

3 Words to Describe You: Rebellious, opinionated, & honest

If you could bring 3 things on the island with you, what would they be and why?: My needle so I can give the other castaways tattoos, my My Chemical Romance CDs for when I need a break from the socializing, and toilet paper, for obvious reasons.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I feel like I’m similar to Rebecca Jones. She didn’t take anybody’s bulls***, especially not Troy’s, and I definitely plan on being the same way. If somebody is pissing me off and acting like an assh***, I’ll make sure they know how I feel.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: Survivor is the ultimate challenge, and I’m the ultimate challenger. I always want to prove to myself that I can be successful while sticking to my values and not bulls***ing my way through anything, and in my mind, Survivor is the best way to put that to the test. I also hope that, by going on Survivor, I can grow as a person and get some new perspectives on life from the castaways I meet along the way.

Why you will be the Sole Survivor: I don’t give up no matter how much s*** gets thrown my way. Survivor is not an easy game by any means, but I don’t quit when the going gets tough. If I end up in a bad spot, I’ll do anything and everything to get back on top, and I will fight all the way until I cash in the million dollar check. No power alliance is taking me out if I have anything to say about it, and I won’t settle for being on the bottom of an alliance, either.
