He will be playing on the Vanua (Millennials) Tribe when the franchise's 33rd season premieres Wednesday, September 21 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.
The castaway has been a "super-duper fan" of Survivor since age 9 and thinks he has more motivation to win the game than anyone else, because the longer he sticks around, the more episodes he can watch with his sick mother, his best friend. He also imagines handing her the $1 million check at the end of it all.
Adam says despite being young and small, his fellow competitors won't know the power of his punch "until they are already knocked out." Want to learn more?
Below is a list of 7 facts Reality TV World has compiled about Adam Klein:
- He is confident he just might be the smartest Survivor castaway this season. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University and was voted "Biggest Nerd" in high school.
- Adam's grandmother survived Auschwitz and his mother has been fighting Stage 4 lung cancer in recent months. His "biggest dream" will come true by playing Survivor while his "worst nightmare" unfolds at home.
- The castaway describes himself as intelligent, confident, personable, charming and energetic. He can relate to Survivor: Blood vs. Water castaway Hayden Moss' "never-say-die nature and social finesse."
- Adam hates bullies, long lines, smokers and mustaches. He actually despises mustaches with "a fiery passion."
- When Adam volunteered as chairman of a Relay For Life event, he helped raise over $135,000 for cancer research and it grew in size from about 10 youth participants to over 500.
- He loves board games, traveling and poker. Adam also considers himself "the life of the party." (I'm really not sure if he's joking or not).
- No surprise here. Adam would compare himself to former Survivor castaway Spencer Bledsoe (Cagayan and Cambodia), claiming they are both wise beyond their years, can easily play up to older players' egos, strategic thinkers, and widely underestimated in the game.
