Bobby Mason '96 on Survivor

mason_survivor.jpg

Bobby Mason ‘96 is a cast member of the latest season of the CBS television show “Survivor,” taking place this year in Panama.

Mason can be seen wearing an Amherst shirt in the group photo on the front page of the “Survivor” site, which we’ve reproduced here. Mason’s bio on the site mentions Amherst a few times:

He honed his dream of being a scholar/athlete at the highest levels and was able to realize this when he was admitted to Amherst College in Massachusetts. In 1996, Mason received his Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude in political science from Amherst, where he had also played baseball.

From his Favorites page, we also learn that Bobby’s favorite snack foods are beef jerky and string cheese, and his favorite candy bars are 100 Grand and Baby Ruth. Bobby is now an attorney in Los Angeles. The show begins airing on February 2. We wish him the best of luck. Thanks to Dave for the tip.
