Phillip Morgan

 is a contestant from Survivor: Son Doong - Elements.

Profile

 * Name (Age): Phillip (61)
 * Tribe Designation: Teja (Fire)
 * Current Residence: New York City, New York
 * Personal Claim Of Fame: Designing an exquisite line of clothing that was featured in a special edition of Vogue, another in Elle, as well as several inclusions in Paris Fashion Week. I must say, there truly isn't any feeling quite as remarkable as the whole world - at least the whole fashionable world - acknowledging your excellence.
 * Hobbies: Fine dining, Broadway theatre shows, new experiences, and of course, authoritative assertion. The latter of those is only somewhat in jest.
 * Pet Peeves: The unfortunately-dressed. There really is no excuse for an antediluvian fashion sense, regardless of one's economic viability. It simply highlights a lack of effort, and in my world that's quite deplorable.
 * 3 Words To Describe You: Dazzling, indomitable, nonpareil.
 * If you could have 3 things on an island what would they be and why?: Clearly I would have a large suitcase with a splendid array of clothing changes. Preferably thirty-nine outfits since I'll be in dire need of one for each of the days in which I'll be in the game. Aside from that, a caravan or trailer would be quite couthy. Typically I couldn't be caught dead in such tacky housing, but it certainly would be a step up from sleeping on bamboo. Lastly, a more novel item would be a stuffed bear that I travel with. Truthfully, it's for quite petty reasoning, as it actually belonged to a long since forgotten ex-boyfriend of mine. I consider it a rescue to give that teddy a better life, as well as a reminder to me that I'm in a much better place than his teddy-less life.
 * Survivor Contestant you are Most Like: Unequivocally, undeniably, Sandra-Diaz Twine. No questions asked. She is the ultimate, like myself, and flaunts unparalleled success in her field. For her that field is Survivor, for me that field is life as a whole.
 * Reason for being on Survivor: I see it as a challenge that I could excel in, and while I don't exactly need the ego boost, it can't hurt. Outside of that, it offers me a chance to truly be humbled and experience living with so little after achieving and being surrounded by so much in day to day life. Having built myself from the ground up, I've experienced both a wide range of high highs and low lows, and thus I feel as if it would be a marvelous experience to perhaps see some of those low points again.
 * Why do you think will be Sole Survivor: I truly am just extraordinarily successful in anything I set my mind to, and I see no reason why that shouldn't extend to Survivor. As for an actual answer, I grew up gay in the eighties. I was forced to know precisely how to fit in with a large variety of crowds in order to not be beaten to a pulp. That has taught me the art of reading people exceptionally well, and through dealing with such highly-strung personalities that I come across as a fashion designer, I truly don't see there being a single crowd I'm unable to deal with. Pair that up with an unmatched level of hard work and dedication, and it's a recipe for success.
