Name (Age): Phillip Sheppard (52) Tribe Designation: Ometepe Current Residence: Santa Monica, Calif. Occupation: Technology Executive Personal Claim to Fame: Being a father to my son and being able to take risks in life. I say "yes" when others may say "no." Inspiration in Life: Medical Professionals - they save lives in real time. Hobbies: Chess, basketball, skating and sport training with weights. Pet Peeves: People who think they know everything and yet do nothing and watch others do the work. 3 Words to Describe You: Outgoing, articulate and determined. SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I am my own man! Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I love the idea of competing and proving I still have what it takes to prevail in new challenges that are completely outside my normal everyday life. Why you think you'll "survive" SURVIVOR: I come from a large family (12 brothers and sisters), and as such I've become a creative problem-solver and good talker in stressful situations where others would give up. Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: I am a go-getter. As a former Special Agent with the former Defense Investigation Services, I honed my interview and investigative skills to persevere when others are being evasive or less than forthcoming.

Hmmmm 'good talker in stressful situations'....really? First tribal council sure didn't look that way. Maybe it's the lack of food already?

I thought he did a good job in outing both the conspiracy against Rob and the holder of the HII. One of my fav TC's ever!

He may have outed them, but he sure didn't set himself up for any future alliances. Not one single person will trust him to keep his mouth shut!

This guy is a riot! I hope he sticks around a while. He seems so serious about what he's saying, yet I'm LOL at his every word! I need another source of comedy during the week. I can only watch Big Bang Theory and Graham Norton so many times during one week.

He was a Special Agent in the Defense Investigative Services (now Defense Security Services). His job was most likely investigating people, so that authorities up the food chain could determine whether or not the subject of the investigation qualified for a security clearance. He wasn't in law enforcement, such as FBI, NCIS, CID, or OSI, he was more like the census representative who shows up at your door to ask questions about the kid you went to school with, or the guy who lives across the street. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Security_Service

"he was more like the census representative who shows up at your door to ask questions about the kid you went to school with, or the guy who lives across the street." I wonder if shouting "answer my question!" worked for him back then!

I love this guy! Survivor is guaranteed to have entertainment as long as he is around. No, don't push his 'shut-up' button. Give him his own camera crew so we don't miss one moment.

He tends to drive me nuts when he gets in their face with his "answer my question". I'm wouldn't do well with that. I think Lardbrick found some of that "cash crop" for herself. <just teasing>

From Jeff Probst's blog. Perfection! Phillip: "Hell hath no fury like a… lion and a gorilla when he thinks he has been provoked. Music transition. Patriotic. Strong. Preparing for battle. Phillip: (interview) If you’re gonna make an alliance with me you better adhere to it because I am all about integrity. I served my country for four years, eleven months and thirteen days for duty, honor, country. That means something to me. When you try to trash on that… me and the United States got something for you when you try that little baby… I could dwell in the place of negativity right now based on what I just saw, but I’m not gonna do that. I’m gonna smile and when the time comes…. I’m gonna kick a little ass around here." Jeff Probst: "Let it breathe. Gonna just let that little piece of poetry sit there. No comment needed." Too funny! I have a question. Does Phillip make anyone else squirm with embarrassment for him?

I actually feel bad for him. He truly is patriotic and I know it kills him to see that ? at the end of his job title. The fact that he says he was there " four years, eleven months and thirteen days" is sad. How many ppl know to the day how long they wked at a past job? It prolly killed him to lose that job

I thought he was talking about his military service - and LOTS of folks can tell you exactly how long they were in the military!

TNT, I also thought he was talking about military experience. I don't necessarily consider all "federal government jobs" as serving your country.

Particularly not if being in Congress can be called a "federal government job!"
