45, Logging Sports Promoter/Performer, Hayward, WI

The youngest of six children born into a logging sports family, Tina Scheer learned how to log roll in Northern Wisconsin when she was seven years old. She feels all of her childhood memories are good ones and credits her mother for raising six children by herself.

Scheer is the owner of the World Champion Lumberjills, "Chics with Axes," a traveling group of female lumberjacks. She is also owner of The Great Maine Lumberjack Show, which is based in Trenton, Maine. She competes regularly as a lumberjill and is also a logging sports promoter. In addition to touring the country, she has traveled to Australia ten times with her exhibitions. She also traveled to South Africa, Germany and New Zealand. She has been featured in CBS's Challenge of the Sexes, MTV's Real World, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated and Women's Sport & Fitness.

After Scheer was accepted to participate in SURVIVOR: GUATEMALA, her only child, Charlie, 16, was killed in an auto accident one week before she was expected to leave. In spite of this tragedy, Scheer was determined to complete the SURVIVOR adventure that they had started together. She describes herself as outgoing, funny and adventurous. Scheer feels her greatest achievement, apart from the privilege of being Charlie's mom, is promoting women in a man's sport.

Having grown up in the woods, Scheer is most comfortable in the outdoors. She is an avid hiker and biker, kayaks regularly and does X-C skiing.

Scheer currently splits her time between Hayward, Wisconsin, and Trenton, Maine. Her birth date is November 17, 1960.

I wonder who the "extra" Survivor was in Guatemala who took Tina's place. Imagine getting that call one week before, saying, "You're on the show after all, you're leaving in a week!"

That is quite sad about her son. Hopefully she will not make it an awkward point, or a bargaining chip.

I think I have read that Amy took her place on the previous Survivor. Amy was "scheduled" for Big Brother when the switch was made - an also "think I read" fact!

How awful and sad abut her son. Best of luck to her in this emotionally tough game, right on the heels of his death.

Hope she won't make it a sympathy thing, but if she doesn't then she'll have mine .. and hope they have a log rolling competition.

This was from a local newspaper

TRENTON — Maine Lumberjack Show founder Timber Tina Scheer will be trying to saw and chop her way to the top of a new international competition on “Survivor Panama — Exile Island,” set to premiere on CBS on Feb. 2 at 8 p.m.


As part of the international circuit for lumberjack competitions Scheer has become known around the world as one of the top athletes and advocates for women in logging sports.


The twelfth installment of “Survivor,” the blockbuster reality television show, has a new twist where the 16 contestants will be divided into four teams, according to age and gender. Each week a contestant will be banished to a nearby island to fend for themselves, which is a task that may present little challenge for Timber Tina.


She spends the summer seasons in Trenton running the Maine Lumberjack Show. The 75-minute nightly shows involve such stunts as wood chopping, axe throwing and speed climbing, skills that could come in handy in the jungles of Panama in Central America.


Scheer, who also lives part of the year in Wisconsin, originally was scheduled to participate in the “Survivor Guatemala” reality series which ran on CBS last season. But her survival instinct was put to the ultimate test when her 16-year-old son, Charlie, died in a traffic accident a week before she was to leave for filming. “He was her wing man,” said Judy Hoeschler of Lacrosse, Wisc., Scheer’s older sister and seven-time world log rolling champion.


Hoeschler explained “Survivor” contestants are contractually obligated to not speak about the show. Contestants can comment and make appearances only after they win or are voted off the island.


“Survivor” producers were great, said Hoeschler, in letting Scheer grieve and holding a spot for her on the next series. All “Survivor” episodes are taped in advance and aired later. Participants form alliances and try to win immunity challenges so they can be the last “survivor” and collect $1 million.


When Scheer was originally preparing for the Guatamala shows her son had been her greatest confidant. “For a 16-year-old boy, what could be cooler than your mom being on Survivor?” Hoeschler asked rhetorically.


“She really felt she needed to do it.” said Hoeschler in Steamboat Springs, Colo., Tuesday afternoon, “to finish something that she and Charlie had started.”


Fans will be cheering Scheer on from around the world, especially those she has touched personally. “She’s got thousands of friends around the world and has much love,” said Hoeschler. “She’s very funny and wise and strong … anyone who can swing an axe is a good contestant in the survivor part of it. I’m very interested to see the outcome of this.”

I would have liked her to have stayed in. I think she would have done very well and truly enjoyed it.

I really wish they hadn't voted her out. It was a dumb move, too.

I found her to be annoying, especially on the Early Show the day after. She would actually be a really fun person to have on "What Not to Wear".. I'd love to see her with a hair and makeup makeover and she has the personality to have fun on that show, too.
