From an article at phoenix.about.com:

"The beach in Thailand is expected to be hot, and so will this Survivor group. Robb Zbacnik has been noted as saying that he's in it for the sex. In an interview with Extra, he said, 'I mean, I’m girl crazy. I'm 23 years old. I'm out to get lucky. Girls are a huge part of my life.' Robb is also quick to point out that he was named Arizona’s most eligible bachelor by Cosmopolitan in 1998."

The article also states:

"Robb attended Mesa Community College studying philosophy and psychology but gave that up to pursue snowboarding."

Ugh, that's a shallow statement, even coming from a twenty-three-year-old. I hate it that as I age I'm finding it difficult to relate to twenty-somethings with Robb's attitude. It's already started, but it will get worse with the passing years: one day my kids' teachers, doctors, school administrators will all be younger than I am, and I'm going to have a hard time getting along with a kid like Robb who one day finds himself in a position of authority.

I'm not saying that the entire young generation poses a problem--far from it: lots of younger people are sharp, well-educated, driven, and talented. There are many wonderful young parents of little kids my children's age and lots of talented people in their twenties. My problem is that there are too many Robbs dumbing-down the gene pool.

I have been wondering what is in this guys head since he decided to take a skateboard to an island that has not developement. Now I know.

Robb is the only person I have really developed a dislike for so far this year. Looking at the picture above, it looks like he may not be able to play fair either.

<<Robb is also quick to point out that he was named Arizona’s most eligible bachelor by Cosmopolitan in 1998.>>

Who did the picking!?!? He would have been, at most, 19 in 1998. No 19-year-old is an "eligible bachelor." He's a kid just out of high school, for goodness' sake. No experience, not established in a career, nothing to make him a "catch."

Wait--there might be one 19 year old fitting that category in existence. If a guy has the status of, say, a Prince William or Harry, he might be considered highly eligible. But some random 19-year-old? No way.

Besides, I can't stand him.

And, as Hockeymom says, Survivor is hardly an ideal pick-up joint. There hasn't been a single romantic liaison in four shows.

Sia - I totally agree with you. I can't stand him either! What an ego. I have sons, and if they were ever like that I have to shake them up a little.

Someone call Cosmo because I don't believe it. I'm with the rest of you, the guy is just...well...yucky.

Maybe Robb was voted most eligible by the Cosmo-readers in his high school graduating class, LOL!

I found this so puzzling because as Realfan, pointed out, he would've been 19 or 20 in '98. I was curious so I did a quick check and it appears that all the Survivor fansites also record this as part of his bio, copied verbatim from the CBS website. The strange thing is that the CBS site says 1999, so maybe they changed the date since they first posted this.

It does seem a little odd that a 21 year-old who was washing dishes and digging ditches for a living and who dropped out of community college to have more time for snowboarding would be Arizona's most eligible bachelor. If I was from Arizona I'd find that a little discouraging. I still have trouble believing this is true, unless Cosmopolitan was the name of the school paper at his community college.

well, unless robb comes with a trust fund, he isn't the most eligible bachelor anywhere that i know of!

Oh ya, now that's what I call a great catch. RFLOL I agree with all of you who said that Robb is the only one I have a real dislike for so far. Although I pick ANYONE on Chui Ghan (sp.?) over the other team. They are coming so close in each competition that I still have hope that they won't get wiped out before the merge. As for Robb? Maybe my opinion will change once I see him successfully skateboard down the beach with that totally ingenius luxury item of his. {snicker}

I'm thinkin if he wanted to pick up girls he should have left his skateboard and personality at home...lol

i think its hilarious that he brought a skateboard on survivor, thats gotta be the best luxury item yet. plus he got to throw out the one liner when they were goin to get water
"Hey anyone seen my skateboard" which was the first real laugh of the show so far. well except for whats her name taking a header of the floating flower.

not tryin to be mean but i dont get you guys sometimes. you want someone who isnt boring, well you got him. i hope he stays cause hes gonna make this show alot more intresting. i find it strange no one digs robb yet everyone jumps on the used car salesmen/porno actor bandwagon. he is alot worse than rob., just because rob said hes there to meet girls i dont understand. at least hes honest he knows what survivor is, they always have beautiful girls running around.

I'm not sure I understand Robb's reasoning. Aren't there more than eight women in Arizona? Wouldn't he have had more chances back home?

Of course, I don't think Robb is the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, so maybe expecting reasoning from him is too much.

Either way, I find him way icky.

Right, Jo, I'm with ya on that one! Clean-up is so important!

I'm still scratchin' my head over the Ghandia vs. Ted controversy; it looks like it blew into a very ugly situation.

Robb is from Mesa, Arizona--I used to live in Mesa, which is in the Sonora Desert. Trust me, there is NO snowboarding in Mesa unless you drive 3 or 4 hours into the mountains in the dead of winter. Or maybe he is going to snowboard on the frost from the air conditioners that are running 24 hours a day.
He is like a big, dumb, dirty dog, jumping up on people and making a mess of everything. If there were any cars, he would be chasing them. On his skateboard.
