Jerri Manthey: Los Angeles
built 653 days ago
Jerri Manthey has been living in Los Angeles, California, for the last six years, pursuing her acting career while bartending to help pay the bills. She credits her acting coach, Manu Tupou, with whom she has been studying with for four years, for pushing her beyond her own limitations and encouraging her to write and direct, as well. Her biggest accomplishment was a play that she and her best friend wrote, directed and produced, titled Beautiful Chaos, for the Hudson Theater in Los Angeles. Additionally, she has had roles in various independent films, commercials, and feature films, including the telefilm That Championship Season.

Manthey worked as a bartender in Los Angeles while attempting to build an acting career. In 2001, she appeared on the television reality show Survivor: The Australian Outback. She was frequently involved in conflicts with the rest of the cast, earning her a degree of notoriety. When she was the ninth contestant voted off, she turned to all her castmates and replied "Checkmate - you guys got me." During the final jury section, she asked finalists Tina Wesson and Colby Donaldson what actions they regretted most in the game; although the question was phrased in a way that sounded like she wanted a personal apology, Colby said he regretted keeping Keith around to the final 3 and Tina bluntly said she regretted listening to Jerri when she led the accusations of food-smuggling against Kel Gleason, who was the first person voted out from their tribe.

[T]here is Dilly, played by Jerri Manthey (“Survivor: The Australian Outback”). Manthey plays a picture-perfect girl who can’t wait to get into the movies. Everything from her style to the way she pats the couch when she wants someone to sit next to her, lend to a humorous and stereotypical persona of what people on the East Coast might imagine when they think of someone from Los Angeles.

Upon arrival at the campsite, the housemates find one luxury tent – reserved for Jerri – and complete with champagne and gourmet food. The group breaks into three two-member teams to compete for the right to join Jerri in the luxury tent. After a rowboat race and a three-legged run, Jerri surprises everyone with her choice of the lucky individual who will share her tent, while the losers struggle to set up their own small tents.
