My Initial Take On: MARGARET BOBONICH

Picture from Hometown
Margaret Bobonich refers to Saratoga Springs, NY as her home even though she's currently living in Ohio.  She's employed as a family nurse practitioner in Chardon, OH.  Margaret is married, has two sons and is 43 years old.

On the Internet, I found these articles with mentions of her:
Local woman snags a spot on 'Survivor' 
Reality TV Magazine: Margaret Bobonich, A Nurse on Survivor Guatemala  Huh... not a heck of a lot to go on, right?

So, it's onto the
CBS website for more information from her favorites and bio!  She likes outdoor sports and 'Shape' magazine.  Ohhh... frozen Baby Ruth bars and Diet Pepsi! ;-) She works in both private practice and free clinic settings since she returned to school for her Masters degree.  Together with others, she provides health care for others who might not be able to otherwise afford it.  Way cool.  She didn't say anything about her strengths, weaknesses or expectations she has in regard to the show.

All in all?  Hmmm... I like her.  I know the Saratoga area (went to HS in Saratoga County, NY) -- it was in her time a woodsy adventurous sort of place, at least it was for me.  I think she could do well in the show.  If not Final Four, I place her near it.

That's my Initial Take on Margaret.  What's yours?

    I should be rooting for her!  Well, Jackie, I knew I liked you for a reason.  I grew was raised in Warrensburg, NY, just about 30 miles up the road, but with my husband being Air Force, it's taken us to Ohio!   I do like Margaret, but I do not think she'll win, but who knows, it'd be nice to see someone from around where I'm from win this!

    Margaret was my Nurse Practioner for five years right up until a couple months ago when she "mysteriously disappeared" from the family practice.  I love her -- She's awesome, and she's definitely not the order-shrieking type of nurse.  She's very caring and compassionate and an extremely good listener.  I think she will do very well.

    Marg looks like she can go far. Reminds me a bit of Cathy from AllStars  (Marquesas).  She appears to be healthy and fit, and doesn't seem to be the complaining type.  I hope she allies with Amy the Cop - if they are on the same side, that is.

    My predictions for her, if she is not the shrill, order-shrieking type of nurse personality, and is more of a listener and shoulder to cry on, she will go far.  I'm hoping final 4.

    Ahhh, one of the token "middle-aged" women of this season LOL!  These women tend to start off fairly well and then get fed up with the younger ones not pulling their weight and end up getting voted off for being vocal about the lazy ones lol.  The young guys want to see the bikinis before they want to see an older woman doing all the work I think LOL...Then again, there was Tina...she wasn't as verbal to the whole camp, just to a couple team mates so that kept her intact I do believe! lol.
