January 26, 2006: CBSNews video of
a pre-game press roundtable discussion about Danielle, led
by Jeff Probst, with Mara Reinstein (US Weekly), Paul Adler
(TV Guide channel), Shawna Malcom (TV Guide), Dalton Ross (EW),
Jarett Wieselman (In Touch). Transcript:
 Jeff
Probst: Danielle's not memorable?
Dalton Ross: Well, Danielle is memorable,
and I think that it's, um, I think it's really big of
you, and Mark, and the whole Survivor team, to allow Boston
Rob to have a sex change and come back to play for a third
time. It's exciting, a reality first.
Danielle (pre-game interview): I'm
gonna set the guys straight real fast. I mean, they're
gonna look at me and be like, 'Oh,
what, what's this girl gonna bring to the table, you
know? She might
be hot, but, what's she, what's she gonna do for
us?' So, um, I'm
gonna show them, and they're probably gonna blow their
socks off. They're gonna have no idea what I'm capable
of doing. Physically, mentally, everything.
Jeff Probst: She has a big personality.
Shawna Malcom: Not with us she didn't.
Danielle (pre-game interview): People
want to know what a Survivor carries in her bag. Well
let me tell you.
Shawna Malcom: She came in, and was
very quiet, and you kept trying to draw her out.
Danielle (more interview): Got the uh,
the rain jacket, gotta be prepared. For ah, for the
rain. Got the old camouflage Boston Red Sox hat. Can't
go anywhere without this. Pair of sunglasses? Gotta be
prepared with the sun.
Shawna Malcom: You know, I asked her
why she thought she was chosen, and she said, 'Oh,
because I have, you know, a lot of spunk.'
Danielle (still going...): Pack of gum?
Trident.
Shawna Malcom: And
I thought, well, where did it go? You know? There was
just no spark, whatsoever.
Danielle (almost done!): This
isn't for the island, this isn't for the island, this
is preparation... before the island. Cause that's cheating
and I don't cheat.
Jeff Probst: Well,
we definitely saw it in casting. She was cocky, and you know,
talked a lot about her sports background, and her success.
Danielle (phew!): You
know, I'm gonna give it my all, give 110 percent, and
put my heart and soul into everything I can possibly, give
everything I possibly can.
Dalton Ross: Yeah, sometimes you get people,
I've noticed, that are very nervous around the press. Especially
people like this who haven't dealt with the press, who's
never dealt with the press in their life. You know, it's
possible that she gets in a room with us, and she's never
dealt with press, and maybe she doesn't know how to react
and, and what to say, so she sort of clams up. And so then
that doesn't give us a good read on what she's really gonna
be like when she gets out there.
Jarett Wieselman: I do
also think that she was one of those people who was the most
ready just to start. Like I think at this point she just
wanted to go, and get on the island, and just get the game
started. And I think once she's there, she'll be a fierce
competitor. She's in great shape. You know, she's played
soccer competitively for years. I think she definitely has
like that Stephenie drive, to be like the strongest woman.
Dalton Ross: She, she
got a headstart on the game, dealing with Hurricane Wilma,
and living in Fort Lauderdale. Her place was flooded
and stuff. So that's, this is maybe a little respite
for her, just getting in the game, a little bit.

January 22, 2006: Transcript of Danielle-specific
footage from the TV Guide Channel " Survivor: Panama
- Exile Island Preview" (featuring pre-game contestant
interviews and Jeff Probst comments from circa Ep1):
"Danni Boatwright: Boston-born Danielle
has something in common with previous players from her hometown.
Danielle (pre-game interview): Bostonians,
we're a different breed of people, you know? I mean,
um, we're strong, we're tough.
Danni Boatwright: But in Survivor,
how strong is too strong?
Danielle (pre-game interview): If
somebody tries to demean me, or piss me off, per se,
I might have to bite my tongue a little bit harder
than, than usual.
Danni
Boatwright: And it seems like Danielle might
already be taking her own advice a little too seriously.
Jeff Probst: Danielle is definitely the most puzzling
going into this game, because when we put her on the
show in casting, she was full of personality. And
she got out here on the beach, and it just went [sucking
sound]. Nothing, not a peep."

Danielle's bio, from the CBS Survivor:
Panama site:
Born and raised just outside of Boston,
Danielle DiLorenzo grew up the eldest of three children
in a small town called Lynnfield. She attended the Winthrop
Gymnastics Academy, Massachusetts, where she competed
for eight years and won many awards. At Lynnfield High
School, she played varsity soccer, basketball and track.
An athlete and fierce competitor, DiLorenzo set high
school state records in track and was captain of both
her track and soccer teams. At 16, DiLorenzo was selected
to represent the United States at the World Gothia Cup
and traveled to Germany, Sweden and Austria. Additionally,
she worked with the Ford Modeling Agency, participating
in fashion shows in the Boston area.
DiLorenzo was then
recruited to play Division One soccer at Quinnipiac University,
where she studied marketing. Unfortunately, a knee injury
during pre-season kept her from playing her first year.
She decided to transfer to Northeastern University, where
she eventually earned a Bachelor of Science degree in
business with a concentration in both finance and marketing.
After graduation, DiLorenzo moved to Floridam where she
currently works for a medical sales company. Her proudest
accomplishment to date is the purchase of her first home
in Boca Raton, Florida.
DiLorenzo's
regular workout routine includes kickboxing and soccer.
Her favorite hobbies include dancing and traveling. She
describes herself as driven, intelligent, vivacious,
strong-minded, athletic, genuine and good-hearted. She
never shies away from a discussion on the New England
Patriots or the Boston Red Sox. Her hero is her grandfather,
because he always enjoyed discovering new things. He
was a politician, a schoolteacher for children with special
needs, a loving father and husband and an awesome grandfather.
Danielle
DiLorenzo has been in a steady relationship for almost
two years. She currently resides in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Her birth date is June 3, 1981. |
