Survivor is a show that showcases the good and bad of people. Participants face physical and moral challenges while trying to win games. Our very own, Mrs. Ripka is willing to take on these challenges and get on the show. Mrs. Ripka has sent multiple audition tapes to try to get on the show, but none have gotten her to reach her dreams.

Mrs. Ripka has waited years for her sons to move away so she has the time to thrive on Survivor. Now, she has requested help from the Penns Valley media team to help create an audition tape for her. The PV Media team set up interviews with Mr. Wynkoop and Mrs. Ripka. Mr. Wynkoop was pleased to learn that Mrs. Ripka was trying to get on Survivor and stated that he believes she has what it takes. The media team put together an obstacle course to put Mrs. Ripka’s physical and intellectual skills to the test.

Mrs. Ripka thrived in the physical challenge, making all the footballs into the hoops on the first try. She quickly jumped through the hula hoops and weaved through the cones. Throughout the physical challenges, Mrs. Ripka picked up letters that she eventually had to unscramble. Once she reached the end of the obstacle course, she needed to search for a key to open a lock box that held the last letter. Once Mrs. Ripka found the last letter she needed to unscramble the letters to spell the hidden word, which was SURVIVOR. The PV media team wishes Mrs. Ripka luck in her Survivor journey and hopes to see her succeed and live out her dream.
