Get to know Ralph Kiser
Ralph Kiser's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.
- Claim to fame
- Being completely debt-free at age 44. No vehicle payments, no mortgage payments, plus I own two homes on the same farm.
- Hobbies
- Hunting, hiking and traveling.
- Pet peeves
- People who are lazy and don't try to make anything of themselves.
- Inspiration
- I'm inspired by my farm; I've been at it all my life. I'm always amazed at my animals - how they grow and survive. Being able to watch the circle of life go 'round and be a part of it is a very satisfying adventure that I never get tired of.
- Castaway they say they are most like
- I'm probably a combo of Big Tom and J.T.
- Why they wanted to play
- I've wanted to be on the show for years and knew one day I'd get my chance. I want to be a hometown hero for the folks back home!
