Kaili | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 09:24 am     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.

He owns five Texas longhorns on his family's ranch outside of Austin, Texas.

He thinks he'll do well on SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS because of his experiences as an Eagle Scout and an adventure racer.

Awareinva | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 09:49 am     I like this one.... what a wholesome cutie! (at least on paper! ) |
Kaili | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:05 am     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...) |
Pannie | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:06 pm     He a good-natured, wholesome lamb. Maybe he can get some use out of that BA in philosophy. |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 11:01 am     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. |
Bastable | Monday, September 01, 2003 - 09:34 pm     That's exactly what I was thinking, Lancecrossfire. |
Catfat | Monday, September 01, 2003 - 10:46 pm     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. |
Not1worry | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 04:34 am     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." |
Awareinva | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 08:16 am     LOL Not1worry.... I thought exactly the same thing!!! And the scary part is we are probably right  |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 09:49 am     O'Reilly Factor, liking Arnold, and being raised in St louis. Sounds like a good guy to me. |
Catfat | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 11:37 am     "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 |
Reader234 | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 01:04 pm     Hey, hey, dont forget he is an Eagle Scout... wonder how that will come to play?!! |
Chiparock | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 06:26 am     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! |
Crazydog | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 08:44 am     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. |
Okiekerriella | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 08:49 am     Oh man, I think I might have found my favorite for this season! lol Boy is he a hottie! He reminds me of one of the guys off of CSI. |
Fuzzyb | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 10:26 pm     SMU? BIG MONEY family. Dallas and his favorite colors are silver and blue?? hmmmm I want him gone already!@! |
Dahli | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 02:03 pm     Send him over here then! |
Texasdeb | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 05:31 pm     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. |
Denecee | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 11:25 am     Handsome's butt has been booted |
Pannie | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 10:18 pm     That's what he gets for hazing Rupert.... |
Texasdeb | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 05:24 pm     Hee..Hee..hee! You didn't play "smart". You got your ownself the boot. |
Bastable | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 05:41 pm     Question: Is Burton the hottest male Survivor ever? |
Hermione69 | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 06:30 pm     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!) |
Webkitty | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 07:24 pm     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!  |
Tabbyking | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 08:58 pm     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. |
