David Parenzee
Lives in: Richards Bay
Age: 32 David Parenzee is an ex model and is currently unemployed. He has battled and won drug addiction through achieving spirituality.
David enjoys spending money on good things, good food and beautiful women and extreme sports. “I entered Fear Factor to pick my life up out of the dumps and possibly finance further study if I win. I had everything once but I lost it all through my own doing.
“As I’m unemployed I do a lot of thinking and have a lot of time – I’ve tried making candles and that sort of thing but I need more stimulation. I enjoy reading autobiographies as they inspire me. I try to keep my mind busy with physical work so I’m quite fit and eager to take on the Fear Factor challenges.
“I don’t go clubbing anymore because I worry about going to drugs again, I’ve been in jail because of it – the last time my girlfriend bailed me out and I was jailed for 4 days, the worst experience of my life – that and my girlfriend leaving me.
“My most prized possession that I have with me is a photograph of the two of us together. My favourite movie is The Matrix because it’s about the mind. My favourite artist to listen to is Sting and the food I like best is curried beans with roti.”
