From the Bernardsville News:

Bernards High graduate to compete on 'Survivor'
Former cheerleader seeking $1M prize

By DAVID POLAKIEWICZ, Staff Writer August 22, 2002


Local fans of the "Survivor" television series will have a Bernards High School graduate and former Bedminster resident to root for when the CBS show starts its fifth installment on Sept. 19.

Penny Ramsey, 27, now of Plano, Texas, will be one of 16 castaways who attempt to outwit, outplay and outlast others on the popular reality show, which takes place in the wild on an island off the coast of Thailand.

The castaways go through a series of competitions and activities, voting others off the island along the way. The prize for the last castaway left is $1 million.

Ramsey, a 1993 Bernards High grad and Houston native, is engaged and works as a pharmaceutical sales representative.

Her mother, Elise Power, and her sister, Lindy Ramsey, both live in the Society Hill development in Basking Ridge. Power is executive director and oversees the New Jersey operations of Helping Hands Healthcare. Lindy Ramsey is a member of the Liberty Corner First Aid Squad.

The episodes for the fall installment of ''Survivor'' have been taped but CBS does not make participants available for interviews until after the show airs in which they win or are eliminated from the competition.

The shroud of secrecy extends even to the competitors' families. Even Power does not know how her daughter fared and will have to watch along with other viewers to find out. All that Power will say is that Penny left for the tapings on June 2.

Power was even told not to reveal to friends that her daughter would be appearing on the show until CBS announced the cast members last Thursday.

"It was very difficult," said Power, "but you have to do it."

Power said she believes her daughter has the ability to win. "I think her chances are good," she said. "Penny is a go-getter, she's competitive, resourceful and she's very bright."

Penny Ramsey's stint on ''Survivor'' came in the midst of the preparations for her wedding, which is planned for Labor Day weekend, according to her mother.

"She's had a lot on her plate," said Power, "but she's very well organized."

'Won't Quit'

CBS Spokeswoman Colleen Sullivan said Ramsey originally applied for a previous ''Survivor'' series. This time around, she made it to the competition from a pool of about 800 semifinalists.

That group was culled to about 50 finalists who went to Los Angeles for extensive interviews, background checks and psychological testing.

"The type of individuals we look for have to be charismatic, adventurous, Type A individuals who aren't going to quit and really want to do this," Sullivan said.

At Bernards High, Ramsey was a fall cheerleader for four years and co-captain as a senior. She also competed in spring track for four years as a sprinter and long jumper and was a member of the Lady Mountaineers Central Jersey Group 1 championship team in her senior year.

Ramsey worked on the school yearbook and newspaper and participated in several other activities such as Saferides and the Varsity B Club.

While attending Bernards High, Ramsey lived with her family on Berkley Lane in the Knollcrest section of The Hills.

"She was a bubbly, outgoing, attractive girl," said Bernards High Principal Lynn Caravello, who remembers Ramsey from her years at the school. "She was a really great young person."

The 1993 edition of the Bernardian described Ramsey as "a smiling and spirited cheerleader,'' who "loves chillin' with friends.

"Her conscientious nature will make Penny a wonderful pediatrician," the yearbook said.

Ramsey spent her first year of college at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville before transferring to the University of Maryland, where she received her bachelor's degree in kinesiology. She was also a University of Maryland cheerleader and appeared on the cover of the premiere issue of American Cheerleader magazine in February 1995.

Car, as we well know from last year, these things can be hidden for at least a while, until one of our super-sleuths catches the person at an inopportune moment. Don't dismiss Christmas at Fruitbat's beach house just yet!

Have you ever noticed that, when they are interviewing a contestant's family, they always say, "Jane Doe has a good chance to win." LOL. This is true for every reality show like this.

I've never heard a family member say, "John Doe doesn't have a chance in heck to win this thing. It's obvious he was chosen as early fodder for the rest to feed on for the first boot."

Mware, I was just saying she is good raw material, and there are several other players with tattoos already who could convince her it is a good idea.

Frankly I think it would take a lot to get Bat in a bettin' mood...she has learned a LOT since the what will always be known as the "P'town Incident", but we can dream, can't we?

Tonight(10/24) Penny established herself as a strong & smart player. She showed she is mature, and has a take charge attitude when she needs to. She is my new favorite.

She is not Neleh. Not even close. Just because she is blonde, nice, and a cheerleader, shouldn't automatically put her in some category. Neleh was an original. Penny is an original as well. If I were to compare her to a past Survivor, it would be Elisabeth minus the tearducts.

I am now rooting for this spunky, cute, young lady.

She got a lot of air time last night.
I think she has a tight alliance with Jake.
She showed that she is secure in her tribe. (the way she told SJ to hush during the RC and how she wanted all FOUR their butts working it)

I can't decide how I feel about her yet, but I hope I like her soon because I think she will make it to at least final 3. Just a feeling.

she has the cutest swimsuits, too; without them being string bikinis or indecent. she is like the 'girl next door', and thinks before she speaks. i look for her to go pretty far.

Since I think CG will get the upper hand at the first TC after the merge, I think she will be gone before the final four or five. I didn't like her much for awhile, but she seemed pretty cool last night. She did a good job at the RC.

I thought she looked completely different at TC last night with her hair down. It's usually up and it changed her whole appearance. I thought she looked older (or maybe just tired) at TC. I can't believe how nice their (the girl's) hair usually is on this show when they are roughing like they are. I thought that about Steph too.

I remember reading on a spoiler site that there were 4 Survivors at Penny's wedding: Jake, Jed, Erin and Ken. Jake is a Texan, as are Jed and Erin. Guess they let Ken in even though he's not from Texas.

Hmm, let's see: Penny, Jake, Erin, Ken .... Naw, couldn't be an alliance.

and Clay...he was there too.

Clay was originally from Texas, so his attendance at Penny's wedding makes sense. Those Texans sure stick together. Don't mess with Texas!

It will be interesting to see if they bring him into the Suckie alliance after the merge ....

Jed has an article interview at Survivor News.

He said Erin was too much of a follower of "Penny and the group". To me, this shows the importance of Penny in the hut sleeper alliance.

To me, Penny goes far. Maybe she'll be the last of her tribe.

She needs to be merged long enough to bond with Clay. I don't think one would bond with Clay really quick. On the surface his personality seems rather annoying. I think you'd have to get to know him to love him. And, I think you'd only want to invite people you've bonded with to a wedding.

Penny may also be the female that Jake has chosen to protect and promote. So far, MB/CBS has shown zero interaction between Penny and Jake. They never show alliances that work out. They only show dysfunctional ones that fail.

Just guessing....

Now would be a good time for Penny to make an alliance with Jan and Helen. She could point out that if CG picks off SJ one by one, that Jan and Helen would probably be next to go. She could also promise them Ken and Jake's votes against Brian, Ted and Clay and pick them off. Then Penny with Jan and Helen could turn on Ken and Jake and make the final 3 all women, if the immunity when there are 4 left doesn't go to a fellow. Of course, she could also turn on Jan and Helen and stick with her 1st alliance with Ken and Jake, but that would be a chance Jan and Helen would have to take.

Yup. Very good thinking Alaginger. Penny is crafty...she just might be able to figure this out. I doubt Jan and Helen will jump for it tho... (MamaKim syndrome!)
