Profile
Name: Phil Cundy

Age: 36

Current Residence: Albany, WA

Occupation: Plumber

Phil would best descibe himself as “your average, every day bloke”, this father of four works throughout the week as a self-employed plumber, owning a business with his older brother, Dave, also a plumber.

On the weekends, Phil takes the time to coach his eldest son’s Under 10’s footy team. Phil insists that “if it hadn’t been for his knee injury” in the last year of high school, there’s “no way” that he doesn’t go pro, himself. So he takes it upon himself to teach the younger generation a trick or two.

The retired reserve grade footballer for his hometown side says that while his football days may be behind him and his fitness along with it, that “your body remembers what it’s like to be fit” and has no doubts that within ten days in Taiwan he will be back in fighting form and ready to dominate the physical side of the game.

Phil’s wife, Clara, is the one who encouraged him to get off the lounge and give Survivor a go. Together the two of them and their four children have watched every season in preparation for Phil’s attempt at the show. In addition to the physical game, Phil intends to put his broad Survivor knowledge on show and “make an alliance or two” and “maybe pull off a blindside” if he has to.

Having never left Western Australia, Phil is excited to experience the “exotic culture” and “brand new world” that Taiwan offers him. He hopes to be able to take time away from the game every so often to fully experience the tropical lands in which he finds himself.
