Profile
Name: Matthew Saratino (28) Tribe Designation: TBA Current Residence: Boston, MA Occupation: Restaurant Manager Personal Claim to Fame: Having the straight-up balls to work in an environment as hectic as food service. The demands are crazy, and the people are even crazier. This is Boston Mass we're talking about, remember? But your boy Matty knows how to wheel and deal with the best of them. Despite the headache-inducing expectations, I do so love a challenge.(Chuckling) Inspiration in Life: Me, myself, and I! When it comes to inspiration, the only place that I got to look is in the mirror. I know that might come off as me being cocky or full of it, but it's the truth. I try to keep admiration and inspiration as separate concepts and all that. I admire others, I inspire myself and myself alone. Hobbies: Talking, Having a Beer with my Buddies, Working Out, Playing Poker, Partying up all Night, Playing Soccer. Pet Peeves: Stupidity and quitters. Can't stand 'em, it's hard for me to put on a straight face when I run into them during work. I'm sure that it's gonna be even harder for me to keep my cool out here when I'm deprived of food and sleep. 3 Words to Describe You: Loud, Hilarious, Persuasive SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: You ain't EVER seen anyone like Matty Saratino before. I'm one of a kind like the Hope Diamond or the Parthenon. Though I do give respect to my fellow Boston boys Rodney, Rob, and Bret. They're awesome dudes, but this is my time to shine. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: The money, baby! What else? That's what this is all about! Outplaying, outwitting, and outlasting fifteen other slicksters to claim my million dollar prize. Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: Working in the restaurant business for as long as I have has given me a pretty thick skin. I've dealt with some pretty messy situations in my line of work, so some cold nights and hot days should be nothing that your boy can't handle. Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I got it all. I'm a strong guy so I can dominate in these challenges. I'm a thinker, so being strategic and knowing when to make moves shouldn't be that much of a problem either. When it comes to the social part of the game, I work in a business that demands some pretty serious social graces if you don't want to get canned on the spot. So I think that my skills in the restaurant are going to help me out immensely here on Survivor.
