- "Wacky
Wanda... is... a wild card. She could be the first one out of this
game, so fast her head is spinning, or we could see a situation like
we did with Lill, where suddenly she's in the final two, and you're
scratching your head, going "How did the woman with all the
songs make it to the final two?" Wanda likes to sing, and she
likes to come on strong, and wear big bright clothes, and say things
like this! Some people really take to that, and they find it charming;
other people just want to shut it off. If she can read people and
figure that out, great. If she can't I'll be snuffing her torch." |

- "I
recognized Wanda Shirk’s
name today and thinking “no, it can’t be my old HS English
teacher” placed a quick call home to PA and discovered my mom
knew 1) that Wanda Shirk had been “called back for Survivor interviews
this summer” and 2) that she supposedly has tried out three times
for the show (my mom and dad spoke with her over the summer. The area
where I grew up is small town for even what you think of small towns
in PA- so everyone kind of knows everyone’s business, good or
bad).
Now, I will state for the record that I had her in school many, many
years ago (I graduated HS in the 80’s), as did subsequent siblings
in the following years. She teaches English at the Northern Potter
Jr Sr HS in Ulysses, PA. We all thought that she was quite
tough, very certain of her convictions (many of them surrounding her
religious
beliefs) and that she has always marched to the beat of a different
drum. She had both of her children at home: one with a mid-wife and
the second ended up being just by herself (they must be in their early
20’s now). She also has opened her home to quite a number of
foster children. She ran for congress in the 80’s on the Lyndon
Larouche ticket (who was running at that time in the primaries for
the democratic presidential candidate.) She supposedly underwent some
religious/spiritual introspection in the 90’s (hence a lot of
the religious writings coming up from the google searches.). However,
she had a change of heart from her studies and currently is,
last I heard, an atheist. She will definitely be a
colorful character (one
family member thinks she will either open her mouth or whip out her
ukulele around the fire the first evening and that will be the end
of that)." |
