Get to know Matt Bischoff
Matt Bischoff's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.
- Claim to fame
- I am most proud of being a daddy to my two boys. I do a lot of cool things and have personally achieved a lot, but being a dad is the best by far!
- Hobbies
- Beards, singing in a band and BMX.
- Pet peeves
- Uptight people with no sense of humor, people at gas stations that hold up the line to buy lotto tickets and cigarettes and bad tippers.
- Inspiration
- Hans Langseth – he grew the longest beard ever at 17.5 feet long. He pretty much rules my life. All hail long beards!
- Castaway they say they are most like
- Rupert – he has a big heart and loved to play the game. His teddy bear personality and tough looks remind me of myself. Also, Lex - he was a cool guy, a smart, down to earth dude with a band and lots of tattoos.
- Why they wanted to play
- I want to win. I also want to open up people's minds and show them not to judge a book by its cover. A person's true character lies within.
