Felipe Rice

Name (Age): Felipe Rice, 50 (Alumni: UCLA)

Current Residence: Los Angeles, CA

Occupation: Consumer Protection Lawyer

Personal Claim of Fame: My ruthless aggression. Whenever I’m working on a case, I pursue justice aggressively; it doesn’t matter whether I’m in the courtroom or not. I’ve been described as being like a pit bull because of this. People are scared go up against me.

Inspiration In Life:  My mother. She’s the one that taught me to fight for what was right and stand up for what I believe in. I was an aggressive little brat throughout my time in school, getting into the occasional fist fight. 99% of the fist fights I ever got into though when I was younger were because I was standing up for myself or someone else who was being bullied. I owe that to her. The only difference now is that I fight my battles in the courtroom.

Hobbies: Being a good dad, being a good husband, being a good son, researching.

Pet Peeves: People that are lazy and rude. People (or corporations for that matter) that bully others. Also, people that refuse to stand up for themselves.

3 Words To Describe You: Intense, passionate, and ruthless.

If you could have 3 things on an island what would they be and why?:

1) My Los Angeles Kings jersey. I love hockey and the Kings will always be my team; whether they suck or not.

2) A snuggie because those things are so comfortable.

3) A deck of cards to pass the time.

Survivor Contestant you are Most Like: Richard Hatch; I would consider myself a trailblazer just as he was one for this show. I can also solve puzzles like L.J. McKanas from Survivor: Cagayan.

Reason for being on Survivor: To test myself in the elements and to see if I can tone down my intensity

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: When I want something, I’m like a pit-bull. I am aggressive and won’t stop until I accomplish my goal. This goes for getting to the end of this game and winning a million dollars.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: If I can tone down my intensity and survive the first few early votes, which will give me the momentum I need to get to the end and win. As I’ve said before, I will not stop until I accomplish my goal and I will be ruthless in my pursuit for the million dollars.
