Survivor
Panama - Exile Island
DiLorenzo competed in the reality television show Survivor: Panama. Originally on the Bayoneta tribe, she was merged into the Casaya tribe in the second episode. She made it to the merge as part of the majority alliance. DiLorenzo made it to the Final Two but lost to Aras Baskauskas, a 24-year-old from Santa Monica, California, in a 5-2 decision by the jury.[2]
Heroes vs. Villains
DiLorenzo was a contestant on the 20th season of the show titled Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. She was a member of the Villains tribe before the tribal merge.[3]
In Episode 12, her ally, Russell Hantz, wanted to split her and her other ally, Parvati Shallow, up because he felt that their alliance threatened his game. She and Shallow lobbied for her to remain in the game, but in the end, their other ally, Jerri Manthey, voted against DiLorenzo, after DiLorenzo stated at tribal council that "the three of us are in an alliance", with the three being her, Shallow, and Hantz. After she said, "I'm closer to Parvati than you think," Hantz directed Manthey to vote out DiLorenzo, and DiLorenzo was eliminated by a vote of 4-3, finishing in 7th place and becoming the 6th member of the jury.
