Roxanne "Roxy" Morris is a contestant from Survivor: Philippines.
A member of the ill-fated Matsing tribe, Roxy was vocal in her opposition to the relationship between Angie Layton and Malcolm Freberg, and for the Tribal Council blow-up that resulted. However, her tribe considered her a liability in challenges, and this, combined with her failure to pry apart the main alliance within the tribe, caused her to be the second person voted out.

Survivor[]
Roxy was initially placed on the Matsing tribe, where she started out as a quiet player in the first three days. However, after she witnessed Angie Layton and Malcolm Freberg cuddling in the shelter, Roxy became vocal in her opposition to the budding relationship, attempting to align with returning player Russell Swan. Around camp, Roxy was seen as a very lazy player by her tribemates and was unable to prove her worth in the second Immunity Challenge, which contributed to Matsing's second consecutive loss. Roxy and Angie were quickly made the two targets at the following Tribal Council due to their struggles during the challenge and the fact the two women were pushing for the other to leave. Russell lobbied for Denise Stapley's vote to seal a majority, but neither Roxy or Russell knew that Denise was aligned with Malcolm. At Tribal Council, Roxy made it no secret that she was targeting Angie due to the cuddling incident. However, Roxy ended up being blindsided by a unanimous 4-1 vote.
