Ricky Myers

 is a contestant from Survivor: Ivory Coast.

Profile
Name (Age): Ricky Myers (28)

Tribe Designation: Korhogo

Current Residence: Fort Worth, Texas

Occupation: Builder

Claim to Fame: Defying every gay stereotype ever. I hate fashion and shopping, love sport and beer, can't stand musicals, don't have a high voice... you name the stereotype, I'm not it!

Inspiration in Life: Barack Obama, who defied all the naysayers and actually stood up for what was right for the US. He legalised same-sex marriage, actually took a stance against guns, and did a lot for the US during his time.

Hobbies: I'm a total gym junkie. I love working out and keeping myself fit. I also love spending time with friends. I'm a total people person.

Pet Peeves: GAY STEREOTYPES! People look at me when I tell them my line of work, with the most stunned expression on their face, and say "You're a BUILDER?" it bugs me so much. I can't stand it when people ask who the woman is in a same-sex relationship, or whether I'm a top or a bottom. Just... ugh. I also can't stand selfish people, especially the ones who think you're the selfish one for not doing what they want.

3 Words to Describe You: Fast, witty, social

If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: 1) Some weights to keep my shape 2) Some beer, because there needs to be a little fun on the island! 3) My saxophone- I've been playing it for years, and I'm in love with it. I think I'd be able to bring some happiness to my tribe with it.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I'd say I'm most like Richard Hatch. I can provide for the tribe, I aim to play a similar game, and we defy a lot of gay stereotypes.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I'd like to get the money to invest in a better life for myself. As much as I like building, I have bigger and better aspirations.

Why You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR: I'll be an asset both in challenges and around camp, and I'm more than capable of surviving on the bare essentials.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I can be a loyal ally but I'll play for myself. I can hold my own in challenges, too, so I think I can quite easily win my way to the end, and I'll front the Jury having played a well-rounded game.
