Summary: Rie Heffron is featured in the Oct. 6, 2008 episode of "America's Toughest Jobs." She is an open book and thinks this could be her downfall. She says people don’t take her seriously because of her looks and she desperately wants to be taken seriously. She is very competitive, calling herself the ‘alpha bitch.’ Everything Rie does now is to prove to her 14-year-old, estranged daughter that she’s a strong woman, a good mother and someone who can succeed. She wants to win prize money more than find a job, so she can buy a house in Florida, near her daughter. This is where she will get emotional – to the point of tears – at the drop of a hat. Otherwise, she says it will take a lot to break her or intimidate her. Her biggest issue will be dealing with other women on the show because she is very friendly, but finds women to be caddy, whiny and immediately unfriendly because of her looks. She believes she will relate better to the guys. "America’s Toughest Jobs" is a new extreme competition series that will test 13 men and women who venture out of their safe and comfortable careers and are injected into some of the most challenging, dangerous and demanding jobs on earth.
