"Palau's" Ian Rosenberger Trivia Quiz

Answer: Soccer

Ian went to high school at Quigley Catholic High School in Pennsylvania, where he lettered in soccer. He was also a camp counselor while in high school and volunteered to help children with mental and physical disabilities.

Answer: Nobody

Janu Tornell quit the game in episode 10, so at that Tribal Council nobody voted, as there was no need to. Ian's complete voting history for "Palau" consisted of Willard, Coby, Stephenie, Gregg, Caryn, and Jennifer. Ian received votes from Caryn in episode 13, from Jennifer and Tom in the finale, and was voted out by Tom after the last Immunity Challenge.

Answer: True

As "Survivor: Palau" aired, Ian was just finishing up a degree in agricultural extension and educational leadership at Pennsylvania State University. While a student at Penn State, Ian was the president of the Undergraduate Student Government and was the school's Homecoming King one year.

Answer: 3

After Koror was the only tribe, Ian won three of the individual challenges. Two of these were for Immunity and one was for Reward. Ian won the Immunity Challenges in episodes 11 and 12. Contestants had to knock out colored tiles in episode 11 and compete in a combination of past challenges in episode 12. Ian also won the Reward Challenge in episode 13, in which he won a Chevrolet Corvette and shared a feast with Tom.

Answer: Yes

The first male and female contestants to arrive on the beach were Ian and Jolanda; Ian was the first person to arrive overall. The individual Immunity only lasted until the next day when they had to pick tribes of nine each, thus leaving two people out of the game before it even started. These two people were Jonathan and Wanda.

Answer: Jeff Probst

In episode 11, the contestants competed in a food auction Reward Challenge, with host Jeff Probst as the auctioneer. When Ian went up to eat a food item he had won, Jeff Probst suddenly blurted out that Ian smelled awful and that he "reeked". Afterwards, Ian made sure to bathe thoroughly.

It was a funny moment, but it certainly wasn't very nice of Jeff to say that! After all, anyone would smell bad out there!

Answer: Dolphin Trainer

Right before participating in "Palau", Ian worked in Key Largo, Florida as a dolphin trainer and a dolphin-assisted therapist for disabled children. Working with dolphins definitely fits in with Ian's gentle nature! Other jobs that Ian has held include outdoor adventure group dynamics facilitator, wedding D.J, amusement park street performer, and construction worker. Ian's construction knowledge helped his tribe in the episode 4 Reward Challenge, where they had to build parts of a new shelter.

Answer: He couldn't keep his mouth shut

Ian was a spectacular guy, but near the end of the game he started having trouble keeping his mouth shut over certain secret matters. Maybe the lack of food was getting to him. The first incident occurred when Tom and Ian told Caryn that she was with them for the final three. Caryn had heard rumors otherwise, and when she confronted Tom and Ian and asked who was in the final three, Ian accidentally said Katie's name instead of Caryn's. From there he just talked himself deeper in a hole.

The second incident occurred when Tom won the first Immunity Challenge in the finale episode. Ian had said that if Tom didn't win Immunity, he was voting for him.

But Tom did win, and Ian slipped and said that he was glad he didn't have to make that decision.

This tipped Tom off and hurt him deeply. Katie also got upset with Ian because Ian told her that he would take her on a food reward, but he took Tom instead.

Answer: Tom

It must have been a tough decision, but Ian voted for Tom to win "Survivor". At the end, Ian had alienated both Katie and Tom, and this upset Ian very much, as he didn't want to be the "bad guy". At the final Immunity Challenge, it was down to Ian and Tom, and neither one was budging. So Ian made the ultimate sacrifice: he told Tom that he would step down if Tom would vote him out of the game. Having Tom and Katie's respect back meant more to him than the million dollars. What an honorable gesture!

Answer: Ambridge

Ian was born on a horse farm in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, but he worked in Florida while doing "Survivor: Palau". Some information from this quiz was taken from the "Survivor" website at www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor10/. I hope you enjoyed this quiz on Ian, one of the most lovable (and tallest) Survivors ever! Even though he didn't win the game, he's still a winner in every sense of the word. Go Ian!
