Hannah Rensko

Hannah Rensko was the 14th place contestant from Survivor: Time & Change - Buckeye Battles.

Hannah was initially aligned with Lisa Hamant in the first week of the game and managed to be on the right side of the numbers in the tribe's first vote against Emma Shirley. Despite voting in the majority for the first vote, Hannah was labeled as an early target by the Merah tribe, as she was perceived to be playing an overly aggressive game in comparison to the rest of the tribe.

After the first vote, Hannah designated her next target to be Lisa of whom was seemingly her ally, which sparked fear of Hannah flipping against Merah down the road. Out of fear that Hannah would make it to the swap stage of the game and possibly jeopardize the rest of Merah by flipping against them, the majority alliance of Max Gentile, Will Wahl, Elizabeth Tzagournis and Jake Henson decided to officially name Hannah as a target and managed to flip the entire tribe against her.

Hannah was voted out at the third tribal council unanimously.

## Biography

My name is Hannah Rensko, and I’m a first year student at OSU double majoring in Arabic, and Intelligence and Security. I was born and raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia where my dad was in the Navy. After his retirement of 20 years, my family moved to my parents’ hometown of Armagh, Pennsylvania. I graduated from a small public school where I was the drum major of the marching band and played the trumpet, ran cross country and track, and graduated salutatorian of my class. Prior to Arabic, I studied Spanish, French, and Chinese which grew into my love for languages. My future goal with my double major is to combat the war on terrorism through my passion of travelling and language.
