Who is Andrea Boehlke?
From her official CBS Caramoan - Fans vs. Favorites bio page:
"Previous Season: Survivor: Redemption Island – 13th castaway voted out/ 8th Jury Member
Current Residence: New York, N.Y.
Occupation: Entertainment Host and Writer
Personal Claim to Fame: Moving to New York from Wisconsin on a whim and I’m still here!
Inspiration in Life: My father, Royal Boehlke - he’s one of a kind!
Hobbies: Horseback riding, sports, traveling and getting paid to talk.
Pet Peeves: New York men who cat call women as we walk by. I don’t understand what that accomplishes.
3 Words to Describe You: Quirky, driven and fierce.
If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? 1) Yoga mat – It could serve as tarp/blanket/world’s shortest slip ‘n slide. 2) Juggling balls filled with rice – I’ve always wanted this. 3) A Unicorn, but not one that could fly.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: I guess I’m a smidge like Stephenie LaGrossa when it comes to being a force in challenges and being a bit of a tomboy.
Reason for Being on Survivor: I can’t really get myself to turn down a second adventure of a lifetime, so here I go again!
Why You Think You’ll 'Survive' Survivor: Besides having the outdoors stuff down, I now have one season under my belt and aim to come out of the gate swinging. I’m hoping all of the crazy people will target each other right off the bat.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: There’s so much luck involved, but overall I am pretty good at making friends/alliances and can be pretty sneaky if I want to be. I plan to come out strong and aggressive in an all or nothing fashion and hopefully it works in my favor."
Summary of evidence for Andrea Boehlke being on Survivor 26.
- Update (12/22/12): Andrea is clearly visible in the post-Philippines preview of Caramoan. (As shown at right.)
- In the era of facebook and twitter, returning contestants are reasonably difficult to conceal, as is evident from this Sucks thread. Most were fairly easy to pick out within a week or so of departure. birdseyetoo at Sucks (5/22/12), for example, had a near-complete list, as did matty p (5/23/12), including evidence of absence.
- Redmond (5/26/12) confirmed Francesca was indeed an S26 contestant. (And later, Brenda, Dawn, Cochran, and Andrea).
- beatlebum79 (6/9/12) confirmed the above list (still not sure on Erik R) but added that "Malcolm," a returnee from S25, was also on.
- Redmond (6/18/12) remained adamant that Brandon was indeed a contestant, despite his return to online activity.
Who is Andrea Boehlke?
From her official CBS Redemption Island bio page:
"Personal Claim to Fame: Paying for my own college education and making the Dean's list every semester.
Inspiration in Life: My parents are my inspiration because they are hard-working, down-to-earth and both have a great sense of humor.
Hobbies: Sports, theater, horseback riding, hunting and outdoor activities.
Pet Peeves: 'Girly-girls' and electric staplers.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Perhaps a mixture of J.T. because he is hard-working and has a farm background and Parvati because she's competitive and knows how to have fun, but I'm also very unique.
Reason for being on Survivor: I crave adventures. I also want to prove how tough I am.
Why you think you'll 'survive' Survivor: Growing up on a farm and being a member of the 4-H club has made me both outdoorsy and resourceful. I'm also mentally tough and a bit of a social butterfly. I love being challenged and can handle the pressure.
Why you think you will be the sole Survivor: People will underestimate me based on my looks, but I am tremendously competitive and driven. I'm feisty, brave and can manipulate people while remaining likeable."
