Profile
Name (Age): Iris Morishito (63)

Tribe Designation: Mekhala

Occupation: Artist

Claim to Fame: Being a world traveler! I've always loved to travel, and I've been to over 80 countries around the globe! My hope is to travel to every country some day.

Inspiration in Life: My sister, Robyn. She is such a fighter at everything she does and never lets anything get the best of her.

Hobbies: Being an artist, I really love to paint! It's what I always do in my spare time.

Pet Peeves: People who think that older people can't do anything. I would say that I'm pretty lively for 63!

3 Words to Describe You: idiosyncratic, compassionate, spry.

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: I would definitely bring some paint for some various crafts around camp, some seasonings because rice can get pretty boring, and a photo of my entire family.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I would compare myself to Cirie Fields because I am the woman who got off of her couch to play this game, more like coerced by my daughters. I'm also super compassionate like she is.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I want to play Survivor to prove that age is just a number. It shouldn't describe who you are and what you do in your life.

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: I think that I will be the winner of this game because I feel that being a little bit older comes with the "wise" advantage and I'm gonna use this advantage, well, to my advantage!
