Trish Dunn was born and raised in Lanham, Maryland, and currently lives in Annapolis, Maryland with her husband and nine year-old twins, Reilly and Molly (they'll be 10 on Sept. 21). She is currently employed as a sales executive and has always worked in sales, whether it is media, advertising or investments. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Maryland (where she was also a cheerleader and a gymnast) and completed some graduate business administration coursework at the University of Baltimore. Her favorite hobbies include marathon running, bungee jumping, rock climbing, hiking and anything that challenges her (she recently learned how to snowboard). She describes herself as focused, competitive and loyal. She is most proud of her solid marriage and being happy. She is a member of the Washington D.C. Ad Club, Mothers of Multiples and the Annapolis Striders. Her favorite sport is long-distant running (she's completed 24 marathons, including ten Boston Marathons). Her hero is her mom who she says taught her to like herself, be kind and caring, but also competitive and confident. Trish believes she's ready for SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS because her athletic skills make her a viable and useful tribe member. She describes herself as extremely competitive, an excellent swimmer, a born leader and a gifted problem solver. Her birth date is October 29, 1960.

Some of her bio reminds me of my mom- all the marathons, kayaking, Runners World magazine. Right now I'm liking her.

I have to root for her as well--what can you say that is bad about her? Ok, one thing--if you have to put lime in your beer to make it taste better, it really isn't beer.

I can forgive that though. And she likes diet coke--ok, she can't be all bad. As long as she doesn't put lime in her diet coke.

I look forward to seeing her problem solving skills in action. I'd be willing to bet she either goes far or gets booted right away--nothing in between for her.

Being an older Mom-type figure with the silly name of Trish----I see a target on her back.
Too bad. From her profile she sounds like an interesting person.

coronas are meant to be drunk with lime.

A corona without lime is like Square without color.

Yes, well a beer that needs lime or lemon is no beer. I agree it is meant to be drunk with lime. Just proves it's not real beer.

Okay, she's my favorite. Mainly because we like almost all the same foods. And I am lethal at Scattergories.

Hey, I knew a Trish Dunn - the secretary at Notre Dame Law School. This isn't her though. Trish is not a silly name, it is a derivative of Patricia. Her full name is probably Patricia Dunn.

I think it's silly that she lists "Leo's cologne" as one of her favorite scents. She could have just said "my husband".

I think she will be one of the first ones out. She looks like she is going to mother everyone to death, just like that older fat woman from the Marquesas series (forgot her name).

Hey, she likes Babyruths, so I like her, too.

I like her so far too - she is playing a little under the radar though. Hope she holds her own & stays awhile.

How can we base any opinion on this woman. We see nothing. I like her because I have no reason to not like her. I really don't like how under the radar contestants come around in the end. Other Survivor shows have shown this as a winning angle - I, personally am sick of it - vote her off if she doesn't start showing us TV people something.

I actually think Trish was right-- Rupert does have too much power in the tribe. Going after the threats is part of the game. HOWEVER, I think she tipped her hand too soon (like Deena). If she could have bided her time, Shawn would be gone, she would still be there, and Rupert would likely have been targeted after the merge because everyone likes him, but no one wants to go up against him in the Final Two.

Trish was right in thinking that no one would be able to beat Rupert at F2, but her timing was WAY off. She only succeeded in strengthing Rupert's position. I really thought she was smarter than that.
She broke one of the unwritten Survivor rules of the game, when there is a clear target for TC, go with the flow and don't rock the boat. (Sandra's motto and I bet it gets her far)

I caught her on the Early Show. If she does get back into the game and takes it to F2 (just a speculation) she showed NO indication of it whatsoever. She seemed upbeat and of course, gave the pat answer they all do, editing. lol.

Timing is crucial. She miscalculated, simple as that.
