=== Resolutions ===
==== Reputation ====
Ayesha debuted on the ARTPOP Tribe as a new player. She had subtle challenge visibility but was very social and strategic. She found her tribe's respective idol on Day 1, and established an alliance with Stella. She also attempted to ally with Colin, Chelsea, and Jada from Chromatica, but every alliance fell through after Jada's departure. Ayesha first received major attention on Day 4, where she stepped in to defend Stella after Chloe attacked her in the main chat. This led to the entire scenario of Chaos & Frogs, which initially set Ayesha and Stella as public enemies. At tribal council, Ayesha used her idol on Stella, and it was successful as it nullified four votes. Before tribal, Ayesha orchestrated a plan which forced Maddie to vote for Erin, which led to Erin's departure by a 5*-2-1 vote. The motive of going for Erin was to weaken Chloe. Ayesha immediately found the ARTPOP replacement idol afterwards and did not tell anybody. Two days later after Music Mania, Ayesha manipulated Colin into accidentally revealing that Katie was holding the Chromatica Idol. She then said that Chloe leaked the information, and hours later, Chloe was voted off by a 6-1 vote. Ayesha's reputation grew after an exchange in the main chat during Casturation. She was basically labeled as an instigator for creating arguments, where in reality everything she said had been a response to someone else. Despite popular belief, it is true that Ayesha had never started anything, but only responded or defended somebody else. 
==== Gaga's Bad Kids ====
When ARTPOP lost the Silky Jigsaw, Ayesha attempted to do everything she could to keep her idol. She officially created a trio alliance between herself, Stella, and Ashlee Canfield. It was later named Gaga's Bad Kids, to incorporate the season's theme as well as to emphasize how the three fit into society. Ayesha had everything she needed to not trust Maddie, so she proposed the idea to Ashlee to "work with the others" and propose a vote split, where in reality all three of them vote Maddie, and she is a goner. Ashlee went with the plan, and it was a success as Maddie was soon sent home 3-2-1. The merge followed, and Ashlee was now a public target. For a brief moment, she leaked information from Gaga's Bad Kids, including Ayesha's Monster idol which she just found. However, Ayesha was able to get Ashlee back in with them. Ashlee acknowledged her mistake and the three were reunited as a trio. Sensing Ashlee's betrayal was another correct hunch that came to the girl, and she was able to get Ashlee to confess in the first place by talking to her the same way she did Colin. After InstaGaga, she knew it was practical that the others would split between her and Stella. For maximum security, she played both her idols at tribal. As a result, Katie became the first member of the jury by a 4*-3*-3 vote. At the auction, every member of the alliance won something. Ashlee won a challenge advantage which allowed her to win Trivia. Stella won Knowledge Is Power and Ayesha won a vote steal. The alliance set their sights on Lily next, and a new alliance, Steel, was formed as an effort to get a member of Gaga's Bad Kids to flush anything they have, and unfortunately, they would use Lily as a sacrifice. Ayesha knew Colin had the idol, and had Stella steal it from him at tribal with her new advantage. Lily ended up being voted out by an 8-1 vote. On Day 12, Ayesha won her first immunity challenge. She figured it was logical that Steel would target Ashlee, so she told Stella to play her idol. Sure enough, Stella played her idol on Ashlee and Melia was the victim of tribal by a 5*-3 vote. At this point, Steel was completely stumped by the accurate idol plays and even Ayesha's own allies were getting suspicious of her.
==== Who Is Ayesha? ====
An hour before Melia's departure, Ashlee and Stella created a separate group to talk about Ayesha as a whole. Ashlee suggested that she is most likely a fake persona, similar to her Alyssa persona on Brains vs. Brawn. Ashlee also threw out that she may be getting leaked information by Kat. Ayesha sent coincidental messages around the same time, which freaked the two out. On Day 13, The Real Ayesha ensued, and everyone was able to get closure on the entire situation after it was brought to public attention. In the early morning, Colin and Melia reverse image searched her cast photo, only to discover that it was fake. Ayesha was given until 4:00pm EST to respond to this, and she released a statement at 3:59, specifically a Snapchat screenshot. She asked everybody to vote her off, and she ended up being booted by a 6-1 vote, just as requested. She revealed afterward that she was just completely shaken up by the whole scenario and could not stand to play afterward. Her legacy lived on through the season as the other two members of Gaga's Bad Kids, Ashlee and Stella, stuck together as allies. Many players outside of the alliance even expressed how they were actually upset that she was gone. As a member of the jury, Ayesha later voted for Stella to win.
=== All Stars 2 ===
==== Still Smart ASF ====
After the events of last season, many players never expected Ayesha to ever return to the game, but she gladly accepted the invitation to All Stars 2. She was placed on the Hollywood tribe with former enemies from Resolutions. She quickly got back into her old habits and found the Hollywood hidden immunity idol on her first guess. She established a one-on-one alliance with Colin, and together they brought in Kat and Wes to form The Hollywood Dream. Unlike the short-lived alliance in Resolutions, Ayesha and Colin genuinely stuck it out together and remained loyal, forming an insanely powerful duo. After the tribe lost the first immunity challenge, Llewellyn was voted out unanimously for being the least connected and appearing as an easy vote. From this point forward, the entire Hollywood Tribe was able to place really well in the following challenges. They only lost again on Day 6 during the Silky Slide Puzzle. Ayesha had the worst score at 7:17, but luckily would not be targeted as this was a joint tribal council with the other losing tribe, Malibu. She quickly came to the obvious conclusion that the tribe needed to unite to take out one of the others. When deciding a target, Ayesha really wanted to take out Michaela as she is socially dangerous and has proven very capable in the past. However, the rest of Hollywood pushed for Delaney. This prompted Ayesha to devise a plan with Ailish and her former ally Stella. When talking to Hollywood Dream, she went along with the Delaney plan. She talked to Ailish, and they both agreed to cast their votes on Michaela. She then told Stella to play her idol on Delaney, and that she would play hers on Wes. At tribal council, everything worked out perfectly as five Wes votes were nullified, three Delaney votes were nullified, and Michaela was sent home with two votes after the split worked. As the rest of the tribe did not know about the plan, Ayesha received major praise on her end from protecting votes. Shortly after this, she started to feel ill due to what would become a fever, and sat out of Melotika’s Cyber Party and Supersona. Finally, on Day 13 after the challenge, Ayesha was medically evacuated, placing 13th overall. She has since recovered and is healthy again.
==== The Change ====
Unlike her persona in Resolutions, Ayesha never really started any drama. Initially, she had no intentions of playing the game for victory or glory as she stated in her application, “I don’t care about winning, I just want to start shit.” She attempted to bicker with Corri Crissinger early on, but it felt one-sided, so she laid off. After her departure, it turned out that Ayesha never ended up participating in real drama this season. At the end of the season, she quoted, “The lack of drama really sucked, but it felt good to be nice and authentic rather than playing a character.”
