Biography:

Zoe Zanidakis is a native and resident of Monhegan Island, Maine, and a descendent of nine generations that have lived and fished there since the late 1700s. Up until high school, she attended the one-room school on the island. Once high school began, she moved to the mainland to attend Maine Central Institute and Toms River High School. She returned to the island each summer to help run the family business.

Nicknamed "Lobster Lady," Zanidakis is currently a commercial fisherman and a charter boat captain. She owns and operates her own 40-foot vessel, the "Equinox." She spends the winter months fishing for lobster off Monhegan Island and the summer months fishing and running charters. In addition, she holds a 100gt U.S. Coast Guard Captains License, is an open-water certified scuba diver and is presently logging hours for her private helicopter license. She has previously owned and managed a hotel and restaurant that had been in her family for four generations. In addition, she ran a seasonal gift shop on the island. In her spare time, Zanidakis enjoys horseback riding, motorcycles, ice hockey, dancing, traveling and fishing.

Zoe Zanidakis has one son, Ron. Her birthdate is March 17.

Well, we know they are given 5 items to choose for their luxury item, and then the show picks it. Maybe there are parameters. Like a real luxury/comfort, a necessity, a sentimental one, just plain fun one, and possible actual survivor material.. LOL Then the show chooses whichever one they think is going to add to the storylines the best..

PS. It's been fun reading all your thoughts on this. You guys are great. I post occasionally, and always come here if I want to find something out.

I'm not sure that being a commercial fisherman gives you the fishing skills you would need to use a line and hook. Don't commercial fishermen use nets to catch fish? If that's the case then her expertise lays more in the driving of the boat than in actual fishing.

Ark, she is also a certified scuba diver. Plus I heard Jeff Probst on an interview this morning and he hinted that her boat skills should help her team get to the island on their raft.

Maybe there is somthing useful hidden in the necklace. Like a match, or a piece of glass to start a fire. That's what I would do.

Hey Car...wasn't she on the island when they were showing Survivor3?

Zoe couldn't have known about the necklaces...but I'll bet the production crew did.

Don't think they need the necklace to make fire there are pics out there of Robert and I think Neleh with the ever popular Samburu magnifying glass... FINALLY A TRIBE WHO PAYS ATTENTION!!!!

Kep, day one of S4 was Nov 12. The mallrats were prominent in the early part of S3 and this group may have seen the first month of it before going to the island.

I don't think MB would allow a magnifying glass unless he would be the one to provide it ...reward maybe... then again he allowed another flag to be a luxury item.

I was assuming it was in the first aid kit again and Robert and Nelah found it and used it. I saw the pictures today at Surviivor.com.

It didn't look like the flag was as big as Colby's tho.

I like Zoe, I think she will be the one I root for this show! Here that Lance??? So now you can start picking on me again! LOL!

LOL, RG...

I like Zoe for the sole reason that she likes my boyfriend and his band (as listed by her in "favorites" at the CBS website).
And no, not my real boyfriend--just the fantasy one!

I'm worried about her though--she looks like someone who might p*** off tribemates early and easily.

OMG! Mick. I just clicked on your profile to see if you had a picture of your "boyfriend" there. I was not ready for what I saw.

It's time to put up a new picture.

RG, I'm rooting for Zoe too. (though I do reserve the right to change after the first show.)

Mick and Grooch,
Being a captain of a fishing boat she has to deal with belligerent, tired, cranky people all the time... I think she has what it takes to get along on a deserted island.

But I'm with grooch, I reserve the right to change my mind, up until the finale...LOL!

Your boyfriend is a DOLL! Mick!

Friday, February 22, 2002 - 09:37 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Not THAT boyfriend (Lex), but my true obsession.

(The clues are all there--check Zoe's favorites at CBS, my nic itself, and I think I've mentioned him once or twice on the boards)

And, yes, I do lead a rich and full fantasy life!
