 is a contestant from Survivor: Phu Quoc- Guerrillas.

Profile
Name (Age): Gary Corgin (63)

Current Residence: Cincinnati Ohio

Occupation: Toymaker.

Claim To Fame: I’m an Executive and majority shareholder of a company I founded myself. I’m probably the only person here qualified for both the Executive and Owner Tribes.

Hobbies: Rock Climbing, Marathon walking, Swimming.

Pet Peeves: People who say you need to grow up at some point. You don’t. Imagination breathes new life into any industry, so let those creative juices flow and create!

What does being on the Executive Tribe mean to you? A bunch of old fools in suits, and I’m the oldest, haha! I’m a nervous wreck on this tribe, they’re all so serious and stern, like this is something going on their resume.

Survivor Contestant You are most like: Jimmy Johnson. I’m an old man, living his dream playing the game he loves the most. I feel like a kid in a candy store on this beach.

Reason For Being on Survivor: It’s a chance for me to break out of my tired old work routine and show the softer side of leaders in business. We aren’t all stern codgers with sticks up our butts. We’re only sometimes stern codgers with sticks up our butts. The rest of the time we’re just kids with really big toys.

Why do you think you with “survive” Survivor: Don’t tell anyone, but between you and me, I think I’m the only one on my tribe who is actually a super fan of the show. None of these people will connect with anyone else, so I need to break apart from them soon, but until then they’re going to need me if they want a good shelter or strategy, or even a good force in challenges.

What will make you the Sole Survivor: Not to keep bashing my Tribe, I’m sure they’re all nice folks, but I may be the only one of us who can connect with the younger people in the game. I’m the only one who still owns the business I run, I like bringing joy to people around me, and I still work on the ground level whenever I can. I can make friendships and forge alliances necessary that I just don’t see others around me being able to.
