Malcolm Freberg - Bios

Excerpts from his CBS.com Survivor: Philippines bio page (8/24/12):

"Personal Claim to Fame: In college, I helped to organize and run a program that paired varsity athletes with underprivileged children in a free-to-join sports league. It still exists today.

Inspiration in Life: O.J. Simpson before the legal drama. When he was a kid, he had rickets. For his birthday, when he was still young, his father took him to a signing to meet Jim Brown and O.J. hobbled right up to him and told him he was going to break all his records which he eventually did. I’m a sucker for underdog stories.

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why?
1) Hair ties – I can’t see anything without them.
2) Book of puzzles – Your mind is a muscle and needs to be kept in shape.
3) Whiskey – to unwind after a hard day of challenge domination and competitor manipulation.

Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: I think I will play most like Russell. You can control and rule with an iron first. You just have to be clever enough for them to thank you for it in the end. I’ll run the show from day 1 until I’m handed an oversized check with my name on it.

Reason for Being on Survivor: I’ve been watching Survivor since I was 12 years old. Some kids grow up watching baseball on TV and dream of getting their chance to play in the big leagues. I grew up watching and dreaming about playing Survivor."

 

From his EW.com pre-game interview, by Dalton Ross:

"Why will Malcolm win Survivor? 'Because I'm better than all the other idiots out there.' A big fan of the show, Malcolm could be a true triple threat in that he appears to possess equal parts brain and brawn, and is funny and likable enough to thrive at the social game as well. But he does already have one complaint about his castmates: 'I wish there was more eye candy. There's a couple that are cute. But for primetime? C'mon, you can find something.'"

Excerpts from his official CBS Caramoan - Fans vs. Favorites bio page:

"Previous Season: Survivor: Philippines – 15th castaway voted off/8th Jury member

Personal Claim to Fame: Once I spent over a month with Abi-Maria Gomes, and I'm still considered legally sane by the state of California.

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? 1) Soap - Not for me; for whoever I end up cuddling with at night; 2) Book of puzzles – Your mind is a muscle and needs to be kept in shape; 3) The Hidden Immunity Idol I never played in the Philippines - Early advantage. Seems obvious.

Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: This feels like a trick question.

Why You Think You’ll 'Survive' Survivor: Experience plays a huge roll in any situation in life. I made it through 38 days the first time so I have to like my survival odds the second time around."

Excerpts from his official CBS Game Changers bio page:

"How have you changed since the last time you played? 
1.  My hair is—incredibly—even thicker than before.
2.  Rewatched an unhealthy amount of Disney movies and discovered I relate more to the villains. Gaston was misunderstood.
3.  Got a little fat.

What, if anything, do you most regret?  Losing. Also, wearing way too much plaid.

How will you play differently this time?  Same big moves, but more finesse. I’m still going to find all the Idols, still going to wreck folks, but being a little older and a little wiser—LOL—should get me paid this time around.

Please bring back the oversized checks for my coronation."
