I don't know I don't noticeably see any physical differences about him. Isn't when you are in the show you can have some physical feature differences ala Mike and Will.
Don't take my word BUT I THINK he is an early pre-merge boot but we will see.
Now can we see the BEST Players in BB in Survivor with the likes of Janelle
Edit: They did start filming Survivor Beauty vs Brain vs Brawn II last March 30 - May 7
