Name (Age): R.J. Saller (24)

Tribe Designation: TBA

Current Residence:  Venice, California

Occupation: Businessman

Personal Claim to Fame: Starting my own business (a beachside crab shack) when I was seventeen, then repaying my dad's loan within two years.

Inspiration in Life: I got a lot of my business sense from my dad, so it would have to be him.

Hobbies: Going to the beach, spending time with my girlfriend, watching movies, winemaking, and thinking of new ways to expand my business.

Pet Peeves: People who use food stamps while they squander their money on expensive stuff. I like expensive stuff, but those people need to get their priorities straight.

3 Words to Describe You: Shrewd, athletic, and calm.

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? I'd bring my girlfriend so I have a little bit of home with me, a boat so the tribe can travel to certain challenges in style, and a bottle of wine just for the hell of it.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Aras Baskauskas. We're both laid-back guys who do everything well.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Adventure and experience. If my Crab Shack continues doing as well as it is, I'll be a millionaire by the time I'm thirty, so I don't care so much about the money.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: My experience as a businessman will help me know who to get rid of and when to get rid of them. Honestly, this is just like a business trip out in the jungle.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I do everything well, but nothing masterfully. Because I don't stand out in any particular area, I'll be overlooked, and then the game will be mine to lose.

R.J. Saller was born into a fairly wealthy California family. His father owned a seafood restaurant chain, and chose R.J.'s younger brother David to take over the family business. Undaunted, at the age of seventeen, R.J. rented a small building and turned it into a crab shack, which quickly started to flourish. If R.J. wins, he'll use the money to help expand his business and make repairs on the house he shares with his girlfriend.
