Anthony Robinson, a 32-year old native of Compton, California, took up American Studies at Yale University. Before becoming an Expert Witness Locator, he worked in public relations and sold computers. In addition, he also worked in a number of plays and comedy sketch clubs.

Robinson's inclusion on Survivor: Fiji became a device for him to satisfy his devotion and interest, being an avid fan of the popular reality show. He deems his participation on Survivor as a once in a lifetime experience, which deeply gratified him despite the complications and the challenges involved.

Although he already anticipated the hard challenges and the tough living conditions, what surprised him the most is the difficulty in dealing with hunger and dehydration, not to mention the intense heat. He explained that he has been through some harsh times in his life but describes his stint on Survivor as "easier said than done." To make things worst, he also had to face the extreme personalities of his tribe mates, which clashed most of the time.

Among others, his most detested participant is James "Rocky" Reid, who lashed him with verbal attacks during last night's tribal council. In fact, he maintains that he can simply root for anyone but firmly hopes that Rocky does not end up as the ultimate survivor.

As for the show's depiction of him, he considers it to be fair although he wished that it showcased more of his high and positive moments. He asserts that he had amiable relations with nearly everyone and that there were a lot of incidents where he really worked hard to come up with strategies and schemes for the benefit of his tribe.
