Burton Roberts was born in Houston, and raised in St. Louis. He is currently single and residing in San Francisco, where he works as a marketing executive for a start-up tech company in the video gaming industry. Previously, he worked as a marketing and business development consultant and an alliance manager. With bachelor degrees in both business and philosophy from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, he is most proud of earning a Masters Degree in business administration from the Kellogg School of Management in Evanston, Illinois (one of the top business schools in the world). His favorite hobbies include adventure racing, mountain biking and traveling, and he describes himself as adventurous, funny and a hard worker. He owns five Texas longhorns on his family's ranch outside of Austin, Texas. His heroes are his mom and dad who have worked so hard and have achieved success in life while being so dedicated to family. He thinks he'll do well on SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS because of his experiences as an Eagle Scout and an adventure racer. Additionally, he believes his strength, smarts and his ability to take care of himself will serve him well. His birth date is April 10, 1972.

I like this one.... what a wholesome cutie! (at least on paper! )

He looks like some TV actor to me...a little bit. Oh! Raymond- Everybody Loves Raymond- just a little bit but I see it. (I said that about someone last year too I think...)

He a good-natured, wholesome lamb. Maybe he can get some use out of that BA in philosophy.

Ok, his favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys. I'll be wanting him to leave the game immediately. Too bad--he had a lot going for him.

And TV shows--Jackass and O'Reilly factor? Ok, maybe he doesn't have as much going for him as I thought.

That's exactly what I was thinking, Lancecrossfire.

The fact that he even knows about Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged goes a long way with me. But Jackass? Sigh.
Well, at least he's not a bartender at Bellys.

Catfat, call me cynical, but when reading most of the players favorite book entry my thought was "That was their high school reading assignment and they've read nothing since."

O'Reilly Factor, liking Arnold, and being raised in St louis. Sounds like a good guy to me.

"That was their high school reading assignment and they've read nothing since."

Not1worry--Maybe the only other book in their houses is the phone book. ;-D

Colby, move over; I think I'm in lust!

He has bachelor's degrees in BOTH philosophy and business. One helps him figure out what the heck to do with the other!

I think anyone on Survivor who lists Ayn Rand as their favorite author is just trying to pass themselves off as an intellectual. My roommate in college always talked about how much he loved her books and it was so pretentious.

Jenga is not a board game.

I think he'll be negative to keep around as far as MY getting my fav person to win (Rupert). Keep around only as long as you have to & then boot kick his handsome butt out of there.

Question: Is Burton the hottest male Survivor ever?

Hermione69

Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 06:30 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I think he is pretty darn hot! Colby still gets my top vote, though. Jon is a close third.

(That last one is a joke, folks, really!)

No, imo, the *hottest* male Survivor was Brian, but Colby still gets my top vote as best overall Survivor ever. Jon has nice hair (but he needs a good cut)

I thought Burton handled his re-entry very well. He did and said all the right things. When he gave up his II to Rupert, I went awwwww. Rupert DID come in second so it was appropriate. Plus, it was a respect thing and it was just what Rupert needed from him.
I just hope Burton doesn't turn into a big liar.
I heard what you said at the Outcast TC Burton, and I have my eye on you!

i had to laugh when he promised lil, "i will never never lie to you." if you listen it sounds like he will never 'never lie', so it could mean he will always lie. my daughter jumped on the double negative immediately.
