==== Unnoticed Artist ====
When the season kicked off, Emily did not have that strong of a presence. Nevertheless, she still made an impact. She voted responsibly each time, such as voting against Aryana on Day 3 instead of following the blind order of Stella. Stella attempted an alliance with her, being the TZ Nation, but nothing ever came of this. Emily really showed her capability in Music Mania, where she placed 5th with an awesome Lorde piece. It was the highest score on the entire Fans Tribe, and she received individual immunity for the upcoming tribal council! It wasn't totally necessary though, as Aryana was voted off and Emily swapped onto Hilton shortly after. On Hilton, she made the appetizer for That's Hot, and got scored the highest out of every single submission that challenge! Emily was carrying the artistic challenges on her respective tribes, and yet she goes unnoticed for it. It's a shame given how good her parts were!
==== The End ====
Lady Madonna helped Emily through strategic elements, mainly behind the Anthony vote off and Chelsea blindside; the latter tribal even saved her from near death. When Lady got medically evacuated a few days later, Emily lost her strategic rock. She was aligned with Angel and Logan. Kathlyn was believed to be a part of this alliance, but it was superficial, as proven on the Double Birthday. Speaking of Day 24, she swapped on the revote to send Kai out as she didn't have a specific preference and wanted to go with the majority. The opposing alliance set their sights on Emily next since her immunity win in Cheap Thrills was viewed as a threat. Emily was sent home on Day 25 and was believed to be the mole in her alliance until the following day where Angel went home, and Kathlyn revealed herself to be playing both sides. As a member of the jury, she voted for Stella to win.
