Age: just turned 60

Location: Saugerties, NY

Job: 6th grade math and science teacher

Married/single: Divorced since 2012

Kids: 30-year-old son and 29-year-old daughter, son getting married Sep. 29!

Notes:

Highlights: very personable, chatty and funny! She brings the Italian New Yorker energy.

Being Italian, Deb describes herself as loud, talkative and opinionated.

She grew up with 3 brothers, she had no choice but to speak up if she wanted to be heard.

Right now, she is interested in the drama surrounding Blake Lively. She just saw the movie "It Ends with Us," and has been watching some of Blake's interviews. She calls what seems like a lack of empathy about DV to be "disheartening." She thinks Blake is unable to relate in her personal life so she isn't taking the topic seriously enough.

Another observation she has about Blake is that she automatically responds to questions with witty banter doesn't acutally answer the question until about 30 seconds later. She wonders why she does that!

Deb also has opinions on Katy Perry. She says Katy can't get a break! She calls her "Katy Peril."

She likes to gossip with her friends and a colleague while at work.

AGE: 51

LOCATION: NY, NY

AMAZING energy

Has a daughter who is a senior in high school.

Has a background in media studies and keeps on pop culture.

Would be great for keeping up lively conversations.

HIGHLIGHTS

Her goal in life is to embarrass her daughter.

She can make fun of herself, but her brother and ex-husband can't.

Likes Sex and The City, Desperate Housewives and The Kardashians.

Believes in pop culture history.

Does not want to be a cool mom, just wants to not have a hot flash during her daughter's graduation.

When asked to give a "hot take," Jenny said, "We just finished binging season 1 of Dance Moms New Era. We don't think that Glo is even close to a match for Abby Lee Miller, and none of those dancers will ever compare to Maddie. The traumatic experiences those poor kids go through to give their mothers a chance at fame."
