Amy O'Hara is a contestant from Survivor: Guatemala.
Profile
Born and raised in Revere, Massachusetts, Amy O'Hara graduated from Curry College in Milton, Massachusetts. She is currently a Sergeant Detective in the Major Crimes Unit of the Revere Police Department. She is the first female sergeant in the history of the Revere Police Department, and she loves her job.
Having once played professional football, O'Hara remains physically active and likes to participate in anything competitive, including golf, softball and basketball. Additionally, she regularly trains with weights. In her spare time, she enjoys reading magazines, listening to music and dancing.
O'Hara's primary motivation for being on SURVIVOR is to have the experience of a lifetime. She believes her greatest asset to the tribe will be motivating people to do things that they wouldn't normally do. Though she knows she has leadership abilities, she is sure she can work well as a member of a team, if that is what it will take to get along with others and get ahead in the game. She believes she has a good chance of becoming Sole Survivor because she knows how to persuade people and has great instincts.
Her perfect day would be playing in a game of the Women's Softball National Championships, winning, then having drinks with her husband and her teammates. As a die-hard Red Sox fan, her dream is to throw the first pitch at a game.
O'Hara has been married to Frank Shea for 10 years and has two cats, Fatima and Scrappy. Her birth date is November 2, 1965.
Survivor: Guatemala
Amy was placed on the Yaxhá tribe, and quickly bonded with Gary Hogeboom. She did not make many strong relationships with the others on her tribe, but was kept around due to her physical strength. Amy twisted her ankle during a Mayan basketball-like game, but was still kept on the tribe in favor of the weak make-up artist Brianna Varela. A tribal swap occurred, and Amy was in the minority with her ally Gary and original Yaxhá tribemate Brian Corridan.
Yaxhá won immunity, and Amy was spared, though she injured her ankle once more after it was run over by a huge ball in a challenge. When Yaxhá when to tribal council, Amy voted with the rest of the tribe to get rid of the unbearable Blake Towsley, and later her own tribemate Brian. However, when Yaxhá went to tribal council for the third time, Amy's luck ran out and her ankle was too much of an issue. She placed eleventh.
