Get to know Morgan Ricke
Morgan Ricke's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.
- Claim to fame
- Accomplishing my childhood dream of becoming a killer whale trainer at SeaWorld Orlando!
- Hobbies
- Sleeping, cheering for the South Carolina Gamecocks, and binge watching true crime documentaries.
- Pet peeves
- Feet, cold weather, and a shortage of ketchup.
- Inspiration
- My parents. They have been married for 32 years and have raised five successful, happy, and healthy children. They have stuck by each other's side through all the ups and downs over the years and have never given up on one another!
- Castaway they say they are most like
- Kelley Wentworth. She was strategic, strong, sneaky, and a fighter. She wasn't afraid to make big moves. She played her own game and didn't hide in anyone's shadow.
- Why they wanted to play
- It has always been one of my dreams to be on Survivor. I have been a fan of the show since Season 2 and I know I have what it takes to be the Sole Survivor. Additionally, I would love to see a new part of the world and a million dollars wouldn't be bad either.
- Luxury item
- Lip balm—I'm addicted—a space heater to keep me warm, and a super comfy pair of sweatpants.
