http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivo...ty.display.jpg

Name: Marty Piombo (48)
Tribe: Espada
Current Residence: Mill Valley, Calif.
Occupation: Technology Executive
Personal Claim to Fame: Rescuing an injured climber off Mt. Whitney from 13,000 ft. in the dead of winter.
Inspiration in Life: Lance Armstrong - where do you start? The guy overcame all sorts of odds. His climbs and his epic wins are historic.
Hobbies: Winter alpinism, rock climbing, cooking.
Pet Peeves: Waiting in line and inconsiderate people.
3 Words to Describe You: Competitive, funny, charismatic.
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I'm a mix of Boston Rob and Russell. They are relentless, clever, devious and will do anything to win. I'll play the game in a similar fashion.
Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I want to win. To be on the show would be cool (no doubt), BUT to say you won SURVIVOR - that's a whole other ball game. I consider it the ultimate challenge.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: I've been in those cutthroat pressure-cooker situations and I've succeeded. I am downright certain I could manipulate people and get them to vote my way. I will play this game HARD!

Oh, good grief. I hope we don't get an influx of Russell Hantz wannabes. I didn't mind Russell, but one of him is plenty.

I hate Russell and sounds like I'll hate this guy too. Go Home Marty!

I like the sound of this guy.

Hmmm. A combination of Rob & Russell? I smell disaster.

I am not sure combining Boston Rob and Russell is a good thing at all.

Another one using the "R" word. And the other "R" word too.

He could take charge, or he could be a Jean-Robert from China. Someone who *thinks* he's a mastermind manipulator, but is in reality rather hopeless.

One of my early favourites. He seems like he knows what he's talking about, and also seems like he could manipulate people into voting the way he wants them too. Plus Boston Rob and Russell are two of my favourite players ever.

As long as he has Rob's charm mixed with Russell's deviousness, I might be intrigued with this guy. Hopefully his actions will back up his claims.

Well, whatever his personality is, he's definitely eye candy for me!
