Jaison Robinson (28) Hometown: Chicago, Ill. Occupation: Law Student Both physically and mentally prepared for the game of SURVIVOR, Jaison is a very educated 28-year-old, who is currently working on his law degree from the University of Chicago. Before deciding to obtain his undergraduate degree from Stanford University, this goal-oriented academic was given a congressional nomination to attend both the Air Force and the Naval Academy. Even though Jaison chose a route other than the military, he still contemplates one day working in the armed forces in order to serve his country. In addition to his current focus on education, this Eagle Scout is extremely active. Named “Mr. California” by Cosmopolitan magazine, Jaison is also an avid sports lover and enjoys basketball, football and hiking – he has even scaled the top of Venezuela’s Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world. He also feels that one of his greatest achievements is making the U.S. National Water Polo team. In addition to his love for physical activities, Jaison plays both the piano and the cello. He dreams of waking up to the view a top Mount Everest and boasts that, for a million dollars, he would snowboard all the way down. His favorite board game, “Diplomacy,” gives a bit of insight as to how he plans to play SURVIVOR. Much like SURVIVOR, “Diplomacy” is a strategy game that uses communication, negation and deception in order to win. Even though he plans to use positive elements such as strength and intellect to win, he will not hesitate to betray others if it wins him the title of Sole Survivor. Jaison resides in Chicago, Ill. His birthday is September 25th.

I agree with Pamy. He is going to go a long way. Hasn't done anything to bug me. I think he is my favourite.

You know, we're reading his bio and we know he could swim. But how, how did Mick know about his ability to swim??? Has any one here ever read about him being Mr.CA and all that? I'm just wondering. Could Mick have read about it in the Cosmopolitan??? I'm not doubting it. I just can't understand where and how Mick got the idea to pick a very unlikely choice to do the swimming part of the first challenge. If Jaison was like every other AA they've had before, both the tribe and Mich would've be still buried in deep doodoo. It will be nice to see him win. But he is so well-prepared for life and all, he doesn't need the title of the Sole Survivor to be something in his time to come! So nice to have somebody like this in the game also. I wish JP will tell us at the beginning of the 2nd week that, they've got us all fooled, 20 is too many castaways. Russ H and Ben are just actors to get us all warmed up for the game. ....

Jaison is not the only AA man that could swim. James could swim and Ozzy, who I believe was half AA, was a fish out there.

But honestly, would you have chosen Jaison for the swanning task? W/O ever speaking to each other, w/o knowing anything about his background?? Sorry if I've offended some. But that is my personal experience I'm talking from. Russ S picked John, called him Brazilian-looking guy. John dint turn out too good at swimming.

For Hermie, what Jeff said in a vid about Jaison: (credit goes to MayanSun, SF net) I really like Jaison. I liked him the second he walked into casting. I don't think Jaison is going to become an early target. There's no reason. He's not going to irritate anyone. He's gonna do just enough to help give you the power that you think it's your idea and agree with you. Before you know it we're way into the jury and Jaison is now a huge physical threat that could kick your ass in every single challenge. You fool, you let him stay in the game this long, you fool. I would love to give that check to Jaison.
