Dade Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Name: Marty Piombo (48) Tribe: Espada Current Residence: Mill Valley, Calif. Occupation: Technology Executive Personal Claim to Fame: Rescuing an injured climber off Mt. Whitney from 13,000 ft. in the dead of winter. Inspiration in Life: Lance Armstrong - where do you start? The guy overcame all sorts of odds. His climbs and his epic wins are historic. Hobbies: Winter alpinism, rock climbing, cooking. Pet Peeves: Waiting in line and inconsiderate people. 3 Words to Describe You: Competitive, funny, charismatic. SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I'm a mix of Boston Rob and Russell. They are relentless, clever, devious and will do anything to win. I'll play the game in a similar fashion. Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I want to win. To be on the show would be cool (no doubt), BUT to say you won SURVIVOR - that's a whole other ball game. I consider it the ultimate challenge. Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: I've been in those cutthroat pressure-cooker situations and I've succeeded. I am downright certain I could manipulate people and get them to vote my way. I will play this game HARD! CBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SugarB Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 He and the other Jimmy wasted too much time hating on Jimmy Johnson, IMO. I'm definitely not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 6Borders Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 He's nice to look at for sure, so he's my pick for "oldster eye candy" (since Dade already snagged Tyrone -lol). He's going to be interesting to watch, and he's one to watch out for! I've made the Mt. Whitney climb and it was NOT an easy or a fun climb in the summer...this guy has to have some serious physical and mental abilities to not only make that climb in the winter but to rescue a fellow climber off that mountain.I didn't care for his attitude on the first show either, but there is probably just as much editing on Survivor as any other reality show. He made a daring rescue, he's from California, likes cooking and hates standing in line...he's my pick for Survivor!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP2009 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 he was jealous of Jimmy J. I was so embarrased for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarB Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I know him. He is very handsome and a nice guy.Well he sure isn't coming across as a nice guy. He is coming across as insecure and egotistical, IMO. But I guess in the real world he could be a nice guy, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizzmotor Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I find him a control freak, he could not wait to get Jimmy gone. He now thinks that he has the power....Watch out he will be gone soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snancypants Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 He thinks mighty highly of himself. LOL (a friend of mine worked with him in the past - she says he is definitely being himself!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Glad he is still there. Those young whippersnappers are just so cocky and think they own this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinjs Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I agree the young ones are being cocky, but it would have been a better decision to eliminate him rather than Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califcyclone Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Not sure if this got discussed elsewhere - but I am making a mental note that if I am on Survivor and someone hangs the hidden idol in a tree for display that maybe I should just stand up and grab it (hide it for later).Any one know what the rules state about ownership of the idol if it is left out in plain view?

I know they can't swipe it if it's IN someone's personal stuff, but out in the open, seems to me it ought to be fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarB Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 It annoys me that he thinks Jane flip flopped. Really Marty? She was on the outside looking in when you were all on the older tribe together. In fact, she probably would have been your next target, because clearly you prefer to align with brainless twits like Jill who blindly go along with whatever you say. Now who's on the outside? GO Jane!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
