 is a contestant from Survivor: Ivory Coast.

Profile
Name (Age): Morris Gleeson (32)

Tribe Designation: Daloa

Current Residence: Greenville, South Carolina

Occupation: IT Consultant

Claim to Fame: I was diagnosed with a type of Cerebral Palsy called spastic diplegia, which makes my leg muscles weaker, stiffer and tighter than everyone else. However, I have not let that stop me from doing anything in life. My claim to fame is finishing a ten kilometre walk, which everyone told me I couldn't or shouldn't do. I felt so good about myself!

Inspiration in Life: Paralympians, who embody the "never take no for an answer" attitude I live by. Imagine if they'd listened when people told them no? There'd be no such thing as paralympians.

Hobbies: Anything to do with computers. They're basically my life. I love taking them apart, fixing them... anything. I'm basically the go to guy for all my family's computer problems! Pet Peeves: Anyone who treats the disabled differently. I hate people who tell me I can't, try to help me when I don't need it, tiptoe around me like I'm made of glass, and act like it's the end of the world when I trip over. That last one really ticks me off!

3 Words to Describe You: Empathetic, helpful, thoughtful

If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: 1) A backup pair of shoes- I wear through shoes very quickly. 2) Lids of various sizes- I struggle carrying open containers of liquid 3) Strawberries- I love those things so much

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Kelly Bruno and Chad Crittenden, who didn't let their disability get in their way!

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Because I'm sick and tired of people telling me I can't do this show- time to prove them wrong!

Why You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR: I more than make up for my lack of physical game in other areas. I'll find other ways to be useful to my team.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: With my physical game gone, I have to step up my social and strategic game significantly. Due to my non-physical status, I'll be able to pass myself off as a non-threat and take the game out from under everyone's noses.
