S26: Malcolm Freberg (Bikal)
« on: January 11, 2013, 12:55:13 PM »
Malcolm
 
Malcolm     

Name (Age): Malcolm Freberg (25) 
Tribe Designation: Bikal
Previous Season: Survivor: Philippines – 15th castaway voted off/8th Jury member
Current Residence: Hermosa Beach, Calif.
Occupation: Bartender
Personal Claim to Fame: Once I spent over a month with Abi-Maria Gomes, and I'm still considered legally sane by the state of California.
Inspiration in Life: O.J. Simpson before the murder trial. When he was a kid he had Rickets. For his birthday when he was still young his father took him to a signing to meet Jim Brown and O.J. hobbled right up to him and told him he was going to break all his records which he eventually did. I’m a sucker for underdog stories.
Hobbies: Exercising, writing/reading and partying.
Pet Peeves: Ex-TV stars.
3 Words to Describe You: Charming, brilliant and slightly-less cocky than the last time I did this.
If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why?

1)    Soap - Not for me; for whoever I end up cuddling with at night
2)    Book of puzzles – Your mind is a muscle and needs to be kept in shape.
3)    The Hidden Immunity Idol I never played in the Philippines - Early advantage. Seems obvious.
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: This feels like a trick question.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I'm a super-fan of the show. Getting to do it once was incredible. To get a second chance… How could anyone say no?
Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: Experience plays a huge roll in any situation in life. I made it through 38 days the first time so I have to like my survival odds the second time around. Oh,and I'm also smart, athletic and nice to look at. 
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: You play the game to win the game. I'm not on Survivor to “have a life-changing experience” or “grow as a person” or “see how far I can make it.” Those things may happen, but that's not the reason I'm out there. The best thing I have going for me is my single-mindedness and focus towards a single goal: a seven-digit bank account.

I wanted to state that too. Too funny Malcolm! Rooting for him this time! I think he has a shot at winning or even in the F3!

I don't know whether that sentence makes me love him or hate him... a bit of both. :lol:

But yes, he definitely needed to come back to this game... but so did Lisa! :gaah:

Laura talked to Dawn, it was her downfall. Corrine talked to Dawn, it was her downfall. Next week Malcom talks to Dawn...

It might be just me, but I really don't like Malcolm this season. Whereas I really liked him in Phillipines... ???

I like that he is trying to make big moves, it makes for better viewing. But I don't like that his execution is not thorough, it makes for frustrating viewing.

Malcolm has just joined Parvati, Rob, Russell, Amanda, Sandra (to name a few) as one of the most memorable and strategic Survivors of all-time. <3

If he actually makes it to the end, then maybe. If not, then it was just one good move.

Additionally, it could just be a prolonging move, not a move that can put someone in a position to reach the FTC. If I remember rightly, all of the above that you have mentioned, Joab, have made it to the finals. If Malcolm doesn't, I don't think he should be placed in that league.

Precisely my point. :tup:

I'm not so sure yet, racer. Without Phillip, will Stealth-R-Us remain together even with the cracks in the alliance forming? Without Phillip telling everyone to vote together, will they? If Malcolm can get two weak-willed people to flip (Erik and Sherri, I'm looking at you), then the Three Amigos will have a majority.

It could happen. You're absolutely correct. But until it does and he makes it to the end and/or wins, I don't think he belongs in the same league as all of those greats. :tup:

Seems like I remember an interview with Malcolm from last season, where he said he was surprised to be forced into the game play he had to do...and that he had hoped to take a far more active role. Maybe this is that side coming out??

He was slightly more likeable last season than this, but all the same a phenomenal human. Among the best players? Not quite.

This guy is amazing! Just saw the most recent ep, what a great move. And Erik and Sherri flipping is highly likely, but i also think Andrea could flip as well.

I sort of recall that, too, Peach. After watching how he is playing the game this season, he seems to know how to improvise and take advantage of developments. As to having to win to be memorable, let me offer the first three seasons in which Boston Rob appeared, he didn't win but he was memorable, and Burnett loved him for it.

Malcolm is making the most of what he has to work with. Now that he cut off the head of the beast by orchestrating Phillip's ouster he has a chance to pick up one or two of the majority alliance, especially if he finds a HII that is put back into play.

Just to clarify something - I wasn't saying that you need to win to be memorable. I was saying that you need to make it to the end or win to be considered among the best.  If you look at the castaways Joab compared him to:

Malcolm has just joined Parvati, Rob, Russell, Amanda, Sandra (to name a few) as one of the most memorable and strategic Survivors of all-time. <3

All of those people have made it to the end more than once so to be mentioned in the same league as them, you would need to play a great game and make it to the end at least once.

It could happen for Malcolm, but until it does, he shouldn't be compared to the legends of this game. :tup:
