Bio

Bobby Jon Drinkard was a contestant on Survivor: Palau and Survivor: Guatemala. He is perhaps best known for being intensely competitive in challenges, which was presented on the show as being comically at odds with his normally polite and mild-mannered demeanour.

In Survivor: Palau, Bobby Jon was a member of the ill-fated Ulong tribe. He was the third contestant in Survivor: Palau to be eliminated without being voted out, and the 8th person to be eliminated without being voted out since Survivor's start in 2000.

As of April 7, 2005, for the first time ever there was one person left in the Ulong tribe (Stephenie LaGrossa), after Ulong lost every single immunity challenge since the start of the show.

When it was down to Bobby Jon and Stephenie, they went into an immunity challenge against Koror and lost for the eighth time. Because there were only two survivors left, when Ulong went to tribal council, Bobby Jon and Stephenie had to compete in a fire-building contest. Bobby Jon was eliminated because he wasn't fast enough.

When he brought his torch to Jeff Probst to be snuffed, Probst said, "The tribe has definitely NOT spoken. Nonetheless, it's time for you go."

Bobby Jon and Stephenie LaGrossa were invited back as contestants on Survivor: Guatemala. He was the 11th person voted off, becoming the first member of the jury; a point he always wanted to reach.

During this season, he and fellow competitor Jamie Newton engaged in a rivalry in their opposing tribes' challenges and during the individual immunity challenges. The two seemed to bury the hatchet when they were both on the jury, and are reportedly now good friends.

Born and raised in Troy, Alabama, Bobby Jon Drinkard graduated from Charles Henderson High School, where he lettered in football.

He was also a member of the Future Farmers of American for four years. After high school, Drinkard was accepted at Troy State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Relations/Print Journalism in 2003.

He was previously employed as a personal trainer, lifeguard and farmer.

In the Spring of 2003, Drinkard was voted Alabama's most eligible bachelor by Cosmopolitan Magazine.

He enjoys hunting, fishing, lifting weights, running, going to concerts and reading the bible. He describes himself as determined, bold and righteous.

His perfect day begins with a workout, followed by fishing and then grilling with family and friends in the evening. His father is his hero because Drinkard believes he leads by example and never complains.

Drinkard is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity.

Drinkard moved to Los Angeles in August, 2003 to pursue a modeling career.
