==Survivor==
Whitney began the season as a member of the Savaii tribe. During the first few days of the game, Whitney forged a strong relationship with Keith Tollefson, which soon turned romantic. On Day 4, both she and Keith were recruited into Jim Rice's alliance of five, alongside Ozzy Lusth and Elyse Umemoto. Despite this agreement, conflicts soon arose on Day 14 when Jim wanted to vote out Elyse over outsider John Cochran. Not wanting to anger either Ozzy or Jim, Whitney and Keith cast their votes for Dawn Meehan, indirectly contributing to the elimination of Elyse in a 3-2-2 vote. 
When Savaii and Upolu merged into Te Tuna on Day 19, Ozzy was concerned that Whitney would be targeted by the former Upolu members, playing his Hidden Immunity Idol for her at the first merged Tribal Council. However, the former Upolu targeted Keith over Whitney, and successfully eliminated him on the revote after Cochran decided to defect from Savaii to join Upolu. After returning to camp, Whitney lambasted Cochran for his betrayal, stating that he "disgusted" her. Now on the outs, Whitney was forced to watch as her fellow Savaii members were voted out one after another. 
Despite winning the Day 24 individual Immunity Challenge, Whitney remained unable to bond with the Upolu majority. Come Day 27, only she and Dawn remained of the loyal Savaii members, with the two bonding by sharing a hidden stash of coconuts together. When neither won the Immunity Challenge that day, Dawn was voted out 7-2, with Whitney following right after in a unanimous vote, sending both women to Redemption Island.
The following day, Whitney competed against Dawn and Ozzy in the Redemption Island duel. Though she beat Dawn, Whitney ultimately lost to Ozzy, permanently eliminating her and making her the fourth member of the Jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Whitney criticized all three finalists. She called Albert Destrade "sleazy" and unwilling to make a move against the majority. She also expressed displeasure for Coach Wade, as she believed he weaponized Christianity to manipulate his allies, while she thought of Sophie Clarke as condescending. Despite her criticisms, Whitney joined the majority of the jury in voting for Sophie to be the Sole Survivor.
