Here's a gallery of various Brenda pics from the press coverage of the Survivor: Nicaragua cast reveal, as well as the pre-Ep1 ads that CBS has aired:
After being scooped by SurvivorSucks, CBS today issued a press release confirming that Survivor: Nicaragua will indeed feature an "old vs. young" tribe breakdown (at least initially). In addition, @CBSTweet sent out this (mostly concealed) pre-game picture of the entire cast (for those scoring at home, taken 6/12, or two days before filming began; click the picture to enlarge):
Three Survivor: Nicaragua contestants were already known (Holly Hoffman, originally spoiled by Sabina Sperber at Sucks, online casting call winner 'Jimmy T' Tarantino, and former NFL coach Jimmy Johnson, spoiled by jackbauer1982 and later confirmed by missyae at Sucks, then by the mainstream sports press). But over a roughly 24-hour period (Saturday 7/24-Sunday 7/25), posters at SurvivorSucks identified (and missyae confirmed) all but one of the remaining 17 contestants: original spoiler thread here, contestant-specific threads are in the S21+ forum (until they're moved in a few weeks). The last, Jane Bright of the Espada tribe, was positively indentified today. See our Survivometer21 page for a summary.
Also, as had previously been speculated by smokeitgood, missyae confirmed that the "twist" for the season is that the tribes are initially divided by age: The La Flor (yellow) tribe is composed of contestants of age 30 or under, while all members of the Espada (blue) tribe are over 40.
The following is taken directly from the "About us" section of Brenda's company's web site, Paddleboard Miami:
"Brenda Lowe founded Paddleboard Miami in the summer of 2009. Before this, she was exploring the world of modeling and entertainment. She has obtained her bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism from Florida International University. Brenda has reached a wide audience of people by winning local beauty pageants as well as a national beauty pageant on television. She was also a Miami Dolphins Cheerleader for two years. After this, she became a television model for a national Hispanic game show. During this time she would spend a lot of time in the ocean or simply outdoors. It was after the show ended where she realized the real fun for her was out in the water- discovering animals and finding great paddleboarding spots. These days, she spends her time with her friends of the ocean and her paddleboard clients."
