Quoting from reality blurred + Debra Beebe: “I’m kind of upbeat so negativity kind of grinds on my nerves”
“I’m an extremely social being,” Debra said, and her work demands that, as she’s in charge of 908 kids and a staff of 75. She introduced herself as Debra, and her CBS nickname says “Debbie,” but she’s also known as “Bubbles”—“you’re always bouncing, you’re bubbling,” a friend in Italy told her—but she won’t use that nickname in her tribe. Still, it seems to fit, although she doesn’t bounce or bubble quite like Sandy Burgin.
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.
We talked a lot about her 10 years as a principal and how that will come into play in the game. “I’m really a natural leader; I do this every day of my life,” she said, but in Brazil, she plans to “step back, don’t be the leader, don’t be bossy. … I’m constantly going to have to tell myself, ‘Step back and think about what you say’.” She said that her job helps her “relate to people from various needs, from various diverse backgrounds,” and she plans on using that to her advantage.
