January 30, 2009: Andy Dehnart of Reality
Blurred blogging fame posts a
late pre-game interview with Debbie.
Among the highlights:
"While she was recruited—apparently through an Auburn
professor who has a kid at her school—Debra actually
applied eight years ago for Survivor Australia. 'I just
thought it was the coolest show I’d ever seen,' she
told me. 'I don’t like monotony, I don’t
like the same things.' Although she went to Chicago for
an interview, casting 'had no idea I had ever applied' because
that was after her divorce and she applied under her former
name. Debbie now says she 'wasn’t ready' at
the time."
January, 2009: CBS gets around to putting
up S18 content:
"A self-described people person, Debra Beebe is
a middle school principal and married mom from Auburn,
Alabama who believes that her natural leadership abilities
and tactful problem-solving skills will contribute
to her success as a castaway on Survivor.
Debra, also known as 'Bubbles,' feels that her
enthusiastic and energetic personality, in addition
to her take-charge attitude, will erase any doubts
about her ability to succeed in this game.
The fact that she is one of the
older castaways will not be a hindrance for this woman
who previously trained alongside Olympic athletes and
still rises every morning at 4:30AM to get in her daily
workout before tackling a day filled with hundreds
of pubescent teens, pre-teens, parents, faculty and
staff. Not one to be intimidated (even at a tiny 5’2”),
Debra juggles work, her husband and her children. It’s
no surprise that this go-getter won 'Alabama’s
Principal of the Year' award yet still finds
occasional free time for shopping and dancing.
Debra feels that
her occupation has taught her how to deal with politics
which she can apply to the group dynamics of her tribe.
With her abilities as a natural leader combined with
her bossy and competitive nature, Debra plans to focus
on the weaknesses of others in an effort to get them
eliminated.
Debra is married with
five children and currently resides in Auburn, Ala.
Her birthday is September 28."
