Fabio (Jud Birza)'s own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.
- Claim to fame
- Being a rad older brother.
- Hobbies
- Surfing, skating and bike riding. I also enjoy jamming all night with buddies.
- Pet peeves
- Inconsiderate people.
- Inspiration
- My dad. Despite growing up under-privileged, he put himself through college and flight school. He is now a pilot, which is sick! We have a very strong relationship.
- Castaway they say they are most like
- Ozzy because he surfs. Although, I'm younger, goofier and probably a better swimmer.
- Why they wanted to play
- I could do a lot with a million dollars! Plus, camping on a tropical island with a bunch of cute girls sounds like the best vacation ever.
