Danielle DiLorenzo (born June 3, 1981) was a contestant on Survivor: Panama.

DiLorenzo, a Medical Sales Representative from Boston, is known for her coming in second place on the American TV show Survivor: Panama. Originally from the 4-member Bayoneta tribe made up of young women, she was moved into the newly formed Casaya tribe where she quickly gained reputation for doing the least around camp, even to the extent of being voted the laziest by her members during a reward challenge which proceeded to be won by fellow contestant Cirie Fields.

DiLorenzo also held a strong alliance with Fields, in addition to the alliance that the former Casaya members maintained after the merge. In fact, the remaining La Mina members that consisted of Nick Stanbury, Sally Schumann, Austin Carty and Terry Deitz found themselves being slowly picked off by a Casaya alliance that stayed strong. Except for Deitz, the former La Mina members were voted off one after another. DiLorenzo has been exiled a total of three times, including one with Austin, one in which she had been the only one left out of a family reunion, as orchestrated by Deitz, who felt that Danielle had betrayed him for turning on what he thought was an alliance with her and Courtney Marit (who was eliminated as a result), and one when Aras picked Cirie when he won a reward challenge, automatically sending Danielle and Terry to Exile Island.

Danielle got herself a spot in the coveted "Final Four" along with Aras Baskauskas, Fields and Deitz, who, coincidentally, represented each of the original four tribes.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details about the winner of Survivor follow.

Danielle was largely speculated to be a frontrunner in the Final Two, due to a spoiler which originated from a gambling site where bets on Danielle DiLorenzo proved to be so overwhelming that further bets were closed.

In the final episode Danielle won the final immunity challenge and was torn between choosing Deitz, whom she had made a pact with the day before, and Baskauskas, who brought up their Casaya bond after the challenge, forcing DiLorenzo to choose between what would be best for her. In the end, she chose Aras Baskauskas as her competition, who, in turn, went on to win the million dollars by a 5-2 vote. During the final episode, however, it was revealed that Danielle would have lost even if she had chosen her other competitor, Deitz, to go the Final Two as she would have still received 2 votes from the jury, which is 2 votes short of what is needed to win the million dollars.
