Susie

Biography
Susie Smith (47)
Hometown: Charles City, Iowa
Occupation: Hairdresser

Susie Smith, a Mexican American mother of one, has always allowed others to dictate her life and she's ready for a change. Born into a Mexican immigrant family of crop field workers, Susie and five of her siblings began working alongside her parents at a young age and the other three siblings were raised by Susie and her siblings. She has struggled ever since, but has overcome many personal challenges.

Tired of working hard and being poor, Smith vows to devote the rest of her life to her needs. After years of allowing others to influence her life, she's decided to stop and dedicate this next chapter to herself, and taking part in SURVIVOR was the first step and second was showing her son, family, friends, and students that all it takes to change any part of your life is to just TRY.

Smith has been married for 25 years. She currently works as an assistant teacher and hairdresser. She teaches English to non-speaking English children from kindergarten to 8th grade. When Susie is not teaching, she enjoys working as a hairdresser where she has many wonderful clients. Her hobbies include photography, watching movies, eating out, sewing and gardening. She describes herself as encouraging, moody and talkative but with a big potty mouth.

Bold and brassy with a huge zest for life, Smith believes SURVIVOR will finally be the opportunity she's needed to turn things around. She has a huge desire to win and won't let anyone get in her way.

Smith currently lives in Charles City, Iowa with her husband, Todd, son, Trent, and two dogs. She is a graduate of the Marshalltown Cosmetology School and a graduate of North Iowa Area Community College.

Her birth date is October 24, 1960.

SUSIE SMITH
AGE: 47
OCCUPATION: Hairdresser/assistant teacher
HOMETOWN: Charles City, Iowa
SUSIE SAYS: ''The first player that I see going off thinking they're gonna track an elephant or a hippo, I'm gonna kick their ass, because we don't need them coming into our camp.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Susie is a mom, and she likes to talk. That's definitely her biggest obstacle to overcome, that she can't shut up. If I went in and played this game and got teamed up with Susie, I would be wary of her hanging in there with me, because she seems to go with the wind and doesn't even seem like she's paying attention at times.''

If she's not physically fit for the first challenge and is a blabber mouth and a bossy mom type...well that may be enough to pick her for the first to go.

Susie: "I've been really selfish. This is the first time I've been away from my son and husband, 7 weeks, that's extremely a long time. I am getting a sense of being selfish. I am going to be fairly safe because I am going to be with my tribe. I am going to be with 8 other people, that alone gives me a little comfort. Now being out in Africa and not knowing what to expect from animals, from what I understand, you see villages, you don't see horses, hippos. They are there, but I am trying to keep it in perspective. I am not going out to chase them. I am in their element, in their habit. I am going to take the advice and be careful. I will be very fortunate to see a horse or elephant in the distance. I will be very fortunate to see a silver back gorilla. I'll try not to panic in case that happens. In real life, I'm not a very good liar at all, but because in this game you don't know these people very well. The only thing you know about them is eye contact and I'm staring to feel a slight connection with some of them. They know where I am at, they know this is a game, and if I have to take a machete and stab it in your back - I don't want to do that. I know I will definitely have to lie and I'm prepared for that. I love myself. I look back on all the bad stuff in my life, and I tell myself, 'you know what Susie, you're ok, you're pretty cool. I like myself, it was a journey to get there, but once I got there, what's not to like about myself? I think one of the best qualities about myself is that I am very giving and that is why it is very odd that I am here and feel very selfish. I am neglecting my husband and my son, my brothers and sisters, and all the victims of Iowa and Wisconsin. I just feel horrible a little bit but then I am, 'wait a minute, I am here, I deserve this.'"

Oh boy, this is who I have in the pool at work. Doesn't sound like I'll be winning any $$$ again this season. LOL

Yeah, I would say you are doomed again this season KC. You picked the name of someone who knows there are horses in Africa, even if you don't see them.

she must last awhile because we barely heard from her and if she is a talker like JPiddy said then I think they would show that, because they havent I am guessing she is in final 9
