Bea is the owner of a little toy shop. She and her husband Greg opened the business almost twenty years ago and have recently fallen on hard times. Bea hopes that her luck is about to change now that she has been casted for her favourite show.

"Times are tough, you're not kidding. It's never easy running a business, but it's even harder when no-one is spending money at all. We're going under, there's no stopping that, but this million dollars would soften that blow quite considerably. I love Survivor, but I love Survivor while I'm home in my armchair. I'm not here for the "experience", you can keep that, I'm here to collect my million. Mama needs them big bucks!"

Bea, despite loving children was never able to have children naturally. She says that although she wishes things had been different that there's no point dwelling on the past. She gets a lot of joy through her work and her abundance of nieces and nephews.

"Greg has four brothers and I have two brothers and a sister, although we have been unlucky in having children of our own so far, not giving up hope yet (laughter), they most certainly have not! They all have at least three kids, even the gay one! So, we still have a lot of people to pour our love onto."

For the game of Survivor, the small business owner intends to play one way - guns blazing. She intends to play a "no-holds-barred", "bring all your weapons to the war" style of gameplay.

"Regardless of what I'm doing, I want to be first. There's competitive and then there's me. I am the cream of the crop and I need to prove it at every opportunity. I may not be able to out muscle some of the young guys, but bet your bottom dollar that I'm going to still be kicking on Day 55, wild horses won't drag me out of this game."
