Profile
Name: Rene Thorn (39) Tribe Designation: Bompuka Current Residence: Chicago, IL Occupation: Construction Worker Interview: „My name is Rene Thorn, I am 39 years old and I live in the windy city, Chicago. I work as a construction worker and, y’know, that’s a pretty needed job in Chicago where the wind blows houses away. But with me, being a female construction worker, there come a lot of stereotypes, like that I am super tough or that I am manly and, actually, none of that is true. I am very girly, I like to dress up, I like to put make-up on, I like to go shopping and I am flirty too. I just don’t use all those qualities when I am working. I am actually single so if there’s a guy around forty who haven’t put a ring on it, hello, watch out! (laughing) I applied for this show because I want some adventure in my life. I have been through a lot in my life, I have suffered from an identity crisis resulting into me trying to commit suicide when I was a teenager because…well, I never felt like I was good enough because I wasn’t smart or pretty. But I got over that pretty quickly and I now embrace the fact that I am one of the toughest girls in town and that I can kick any guys‘ ass. (laughing) On the show, I want to be seen as an all-around threat. I know that sounds like a weird strategy because the threats usually go home. But I think that you also can’t win the game by just being mediocre. So I’ll try to be strong in challenges, I’ll try to make big moves and I’ll try to get to the end with a smile on my face. People sometimes tend to find me annoying because of the high-pitched voice that I have and because I talk a lot but you can’t play Survivor if you don’t talk. Like, I’m sorry, you can’t.“
