## Biography

Charles has managed to get by in life due to his intellect, despite his extremely low levels of motivation. He settled for a teaching gig at his old high school since it seemed like the easiest job he could do, not minding the relatively low salary since he doesn’t spend much of his money. Rather, he prefers to go to galleries and museums to envelop himself in the rich history of art and literature. Persuaded by his students to give Reality Resort a shot, can Charles muster up enough energy to win the $250,000 cash prize?

**What is your name, age and occupation?** Greetings! My name is Charles Wong. I am 35 and I teach high school history.
**Where are you from?** I currently reside in Ridgefield, Connecticut, where I grew up until I moved out for college.
**How would your family and friends describe you in three words?** Erm, hmm… I suppose intellectual and eccentric, but unmotivated, unfortunately. Even that is putting it mildly.
**Why do you want to be on *Reality Resort*?** I've… never really ventured outside of my comfort zone. My students, surprisingly, were the ones who encouraged me to take this leap. They thought I could use "an injection of excitement" in my life.
**What is your strategy coming into the game? Do you plan to play independently or align yourself with others?** I guess my main strategy will be to observe and adapt. I'm used to analyzing historical events, so I'll apply that skill to the social dynamics of the game.
**How do you handle conflict and drama in your own life, and how do you think you'll manage them at the Resort?** Conflict? Oh, I try to stay away from that. I prefer to watch from afar rather than get involved. Hopefully I can do that here as well.
**Do you have any fears or concerns about being isolated on his grandiose island?** Oh gosh, yes, I am kinda nervous… I'm used to my quiet life. Being around cameras and fellow contestants 24/7 worries me. I really cherish my alone time.
**Are you single, in a relationship, and/or open to a showmance?** I am happily married to the man of my dreams. No showmance for me, whatever that is.
**In order, rank these three components of your game; Physical Game, Mental Game, Social Game:** I would say Mental, Social, Phyiscal. For… obvious reasons.
**Are you willing to lie or manipulate others to get further in the game?** I'd rather not have to lie. I understand that others probably will, however. So if I need to make moves, I'll do so with integrity and creativity.
**Tell us about your biggest strengths and weaknesses as it pertains to a competitive environment:** Well… I'll probably have difficulty feeling driven to compete. Unless it's a painting challenge, or some sort of trivia.
**Do you have any special talents or skills that you think will help you in the game?** Hmm, well I'd say my diverse array of knowledge would come in handy though I doubt there will be ample opportunities to utilize it.
**What will you miss the most while away from normal, everyday life?** Besides solitude and a consistent routine… just my husband. Not much else to miss.
**How important is winning to you?** It's probably more important to my students than to me… who knows. Maybe I'll find some passion here.
**What would you do with the money if you won?** I would allocate a significant portion to travel to various art and history-rich destinations around the world. Visiting renowned museums, historic sites, and cultural landmarks would be a dream come true for me.
