August
27, 2009: Three weeks before the premiere, CBS finally
releases the cast on their official web site. Here's Jaison's
bio from there:
"Jaison Robinson (28)
Hometown: Chicago, Ill.
Occupation: Law Student
Both physically and mentally prepared
for the game of SURVIVOR, Jaison is a very educated 28-year-old,
who is currently working on his law degree from the University
of Chicago. Before deciding to obtain his undergraduate degree
from Stanford University, this goal-oriented academic was
given a congressional nomination to attend both the Air Force
and the Naval Academy. Even though Jaison chose a route other
than the military, he still contemplates one day working
in the armed forces in order to serve his country.
In addition to his current
focus on education, this Eagle Scout is extremely active.
Named “Mr. California” by
Cosmopolitan magazine, Jaison is also an avid sports lover
and enjoys basketball, football and hiking – he has
even scaled the top of Venezuela’s Angel Falls, the
highest waterfall in the world. He also feels that one of
his greatest achievements is making the U.S. National Water
Polo team. In addition to his love for physical activities,
Jaison plays both the piano and the cello.
He dreams of waking
up to the view a top Mount Everest and boasts that, for a
million dollars, he would snowboard all the way down. His
favorite board game, “Diplomacy,” gives
a bit of insight as to how he plans to play SURVIVOR. Much
like SURVIVOR, “Diplomacy” is a strategy game
that uses communication, negation and deception in order
to win. Even though he plans to use positive elements such
as strength and intellect to win, he will not hesitate to
betray others if it wins him the title of Sole Survivor.
Jaison
resides in Chicago, Ill. His birthday is September 25th."
