Robb Zbacnik, a 23 year-old bartender from Scottsdale, will be one of the sixteen people who will try to "Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast" the others on the next Survivor series. Survivor: Thailand will begin on September 19th. 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.

Survivor: Thailand is the fifth in the Survivor series. It is a popular reality TV series where contestants try to outmaneuver each other in order to win a $1 million prize. The competition lasts for 39 days. Seven of the contestants are single, and Robb Zbacnik is the youngest of all the Survivor: Thailand participants. The Survivor: Thailand series was shot in the months of June and July on the island of Ko Tarutao off Thailand's southwestern coast. It was during their monsoon season, a phenomenon Arizonans know well. Except theirs is a bit more severe than ours! During the second half of the series you'll see that there was a great deal of rain to contend with.

More About Robb Zbacnik
Robb Zbacnik was born on September 12, 1978. He graduated high school from Corona del Sol in Tempe. Robb attended Mesa Community College studying philosophy and psychology but gave that up to pursue snowboarding. He doesn't eat red meat, loves sushi, and lives for fun and adventure. Lest you think that he is shallow or unserious, you'll be pleased to know that Zbacnik writes poetry, and he reads nonfiction and motivational books. Survivor: Thailand contestants are allowed to bring a luxury item with them to Thailand. Robb Zbacnik chose to bring a skateboard. We also know that his favorite board games are Connect Four and Trivial Pursuit.

Want to watch and see how Robb fares in his attempt to win $1 million? Check out CBS on Thursdays, at 8 p.m. starting September 19th. Of course, all the participants are already all back home, and they know exactly what happened. But we'll have to watch the events play out on TV. I can't wait to see if Robb uses his skateboard on the sand during a downpour....
