Curious about Susanna?


A few things I found out en-route to finding other things:

Susanna isn't Amish, Mennonite, Charity Church, or anything of the sort. Nor is she from the Lancaster area, as the producers would like you to believe.

She is actually from Holmes County, Ohio and has worked as a waitress in two bars in the area. Bag's Sports Pub in Millersburg, and the Iron Pony Saloon in Loudonville.

According to some of her ex-co-workers, she is one seriously partying chick, and loves to raise hell with bikers. Is any of this relevant? Hell no, but it is food for thought as to how Amish Mafia recruits their characters.

Alan Beiler actually thought up the concept of Amish Mafia, and promoted it to anyone who would listen, for years, before the Discovery Channel came calling. So, all the original members had to be friends of Beiler to get on the show, and that's just the Lancaster faction of it.

Anybody from Holmes County, such as Merlin, Wayne, Big Mary and Susanna, etc. had to know Beiler somehow, and they were the original antagonists in the beginning.

Susanna popping up this season? My guess is that someone asked if anybody knew a good looking woman that would appear on A.M. this season, and Merlin Miller probably knew her from one of those bars.
