Biography

Ralph has never been a contestant on SURVIVOR, but is uniquely qualified to participate in Survivors Strike Back. As a child, he was amongst a group of young boys who spent many weeks stranded on a deserted tropical island after their plane was shot down. Although he doesn't like to discuss it, we know that while stranded on the island, the boys were forced to find shelter and hunt for food, and formed a loose and contentious community. By the time the castaways were rescued by a passing Navy cruiser, two of the boys had died under rather suspicious circumstances, the full details of which have never come to light. As a result of this early experience, Ralph remains interested in survival tactics and group dynamics, but staunchly refuses to go camping, even for pleasure, and never, ever eats pork.

After finishing his formal education, Ralph established his residence in New York City, which he considers as far removed as he can get from a tropical island setting. Since then, he has performed spectacularly well as a real estate developer, specializing in high-rise residential buildings. As a result, he has amassed a legendary fortune and has achieved a level of public notoriety rivaling that of the most successful actors. Despite this high profile, Ralph occasionally manages to evade the paparazzi and slip away to parts unknown for weeks on end. When he's away, no one is quite sure where Ralph goes or what he does there, but many speculate. Some say he visits remote villages to study the habits of tribal populations; others insist that he embarks on death-defying adventure treks through remote and inhospitable terrain; and there are those who guess that he spends the time playing craps in Las Vegas. We can't tell you what we know, but we can tell you that he sometimes agrees to serve as a consultant (uncredited, of course) on select reality television shows.

We're not sure why Ralph approached us and offered his services for Survivors Strike Back, but he must have his reasons. The two conditions he set: he wishes to be known only as Ralph, and under no circumstances may we reveal his true identity.
