Morgan Turner

## Season History

**Morgan Turner**, labeled as **The Outspoken Hippie** is a contestant on **The Mad House 2**.

## Personality

At first glance, Morgan can be seen as a burnout that has no clue what is going on when in reality, that is far from the case. He does smoke weed a lot of the time but he is actually a lot smarter than he lets on. In school, he was too lazy to actually try but deep down he knew all the answers and didn't want to be seen as the smart kid. On his ACT he scored a perfect just because he felt that test actually mattered. Smarts aren't the only thing there is to him, he can have a bit of a temper and get on people's bad sides. He sees no point in sugar coating things so he says what he is thinking without worrying about the consequences. Morgan grew up in the southside of Chicago which is extremely dangerous so he had to be raised to have a tough skin and defend himself. Especially with him having a mom that is drunk every other night and does not give a crap about him and his 3 siblings. With all that stress, he uses weed as an outlet to calm himself down so how will he react in a house where he can't have weed or his older sister to support him? Will his temper get the best of him this season and ultimately be his downfall?

**Hometown:** Chicago, Illinois
**Current City:** Chicago, Illinois
**Occupation:** Waiter at Steak n' Shake
**Three adjectives that describe you:** Chill, Hippie, and Outspoken
**Why do you think you got picked for The Mad House?**
I add some diversity to the cast I would assume. But other than that, I have no clue. I guess I have a charming personality.
**What do you think will be the most difficult part of living in The Mad House?**
Not being able to smoke weed. I have anxiety so that helps it a bit. Without weed, who knows what could happen. Either that or me trying to find stuff to eat since I am vegetarian.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
Just play a mostly honest game. Most people assume I am kind of dumb which is a stereotype for weed smokers so I am not surprised. However, I am actually pretty smart so people will think I do not know how to play to win when in reality, I watch tons of these shows and have some stuff working in my good ole' noggin. Most people are shocked that I got a perfect on the ACT.

**What is one thing that you want the other contestants to know about you and one thing that you want to hide? Why?**
I want the other contestants to know that even though I could be considered like a huge hippie stoner, I am a nice and caring guy. However, I'm sorry dude but I can't even say what I want to hide in this interview. It's not something I want spread out to the world just yet because it is personal.
**What are three things you would take into the house with you and why?**
Well you know the first thing probably, weed. Second thing would be my hammock and the last thing I would bring would be my wonderful girlfriend, Larissa cause I am gonna miss her like crazy.
**What are some of your favorite activities?**
The obvious: partying, anything outdoorsy, and listening to The 1975, my favorite band ever.
**What do you think of drama?**
I have been known to cause some since I am a person who says what they are thinking but I do not like conflict. I like everyone being nice to each other but I know that is near impossible to have all the time.
**Would you be in a showmance?**
Nah, I love my girl!
**Finish this sentence: My life’s motto is...** just chuck it in the fuck it bucket and move on.
**What do you hope to get out of this experience?**
It will be nice to make some new friends from this experience and prove that stoners aren't terrible at sports or delinquents. That being said, I also will be honest and say that the money from winning would be nice. It would help my family a crap ton.

## Audition Tape

The video cuts to Morgan smoking from a bong not paying attention to the camera rolling. A voice from the background is cussing him out in porteguese telling him the video started. "Deixa-me em paz mulher!" he says while laughing. He then puts his bong behind on top of his night stand, grabs some doritos and starts eating them while talking.

"Yo, what's up Mad House producers!? I would be an awesome addition to your show because I feel like I could make it far. Yes I am a big stoner but I am actually smart so I can easily trick houseguests into thinking I am really dumb.I am also a very social person so I think that could work to my advantage. When it comes to comps, I think I could do pretty well, honestly depends on my mood if I want to do well or not." he then takes a sip of off-brand mountain dew

"The reason why I want to go on this show is simple. My wonderful girlfriend Larissa who is taking this video for me. She is from Brazil and hasn't seen her family in forever so I want to help her go see them. Then if there is extra, I would help my family out since we are pretty broke...okay not pretty broke, we are dirt poor. I had to sell drugs just to get the money for my sexual reassignment surgery, yes I am trans. I am going to keep that from the houseguests until I trust them fully since they could be super transphobic then target me and send me home because of it. Anyway choose me because I would be such a fun person to watch, I will prob bring drama too since I have a big temper and say what I am thinking. So yeah, be cool and pick me" he then nods at Larissa to shut the camera off.
