Ryan Ulrich, 23, says he's wanted to play since he was six years old.
"It's much more than a game to me, it's a passion, I obsess over it," he said. "Life does not give you many opportunities to test yourself like Survivor is designed to."
The bellhop has held internships with both houses of Congress and the British Consulate. He aspires to attend law school.
Ulrich feels his ability to get along with all types of people will fuel his run to the finish.
