Felicia Wang

**Felicia Wang** is a contestant from *Survivor: Chile* and *Survivor: Philippines*.

Felicia is known for not being on a tribe during her time in the game, along with fellow *Chile* castmate Tommy Lyons. On the first day at camp, Felicia kept a low profile and had a hard time coming out of her shell. Despite Felicia's physical appearance, she was not chosen for a tribe over the older Julie Carlson because of her not attempting to get to know anyone.

Felicia returned for the next season, *Philippines*. She started the game with her fellow *Chile* castmate, Tommy. For the pre-merge portion of the game, Felicia made sure to be more social with her tribe and help them with fire and food, improving vastly on her social game. Once she hit the merge, Felicia stayed more under-the-radar and went along with the plans, although she wanted to take Andre out several times which did not work. Felicia narrowly escaped elimination on Day 27, as well as Day 33 through her ability to convince people to switch their votes to "more threatening" players, such as Brooke and Andre. Ultimately, she was voted out on Day 36 after Tammy played her Hidden Immunity Idol.

Nasrin is well-known for playing a very confusing game to most viewers of the show, but still making it almost to the very end of the game. Nasrin was on the Namua tribe up until the merge, where her tribe won five consecutive immunity challenges. However, when it was Nasrin's time to vote for the very first time, Nasrin went against the Namua Alliance in an attempt to vote Keith Trager out. Despite this risky move, Nasrin was able to push forward in the game when she devised a plan to vote out Jasmine Jones as she thought Jasmine would be a threat post-merge. However, once again Nasrin ended up in the minority and Will Fields was voted out instead. After the merge, Nasrin became less of a threat as she was used by many as their swing vote, and she ended up making it to the final three. After Chantal Heath won immunity, she decided to vote Nasrin out one day shy of the final tribal council due to Nasrin's ability to "come back like a cockroach."

## Survivor

Samson was a physical threat right out of the gate, helping the Ko Wai tribe win several challenges and establish dominance early on in the game. Despite Samson's physical abilities, his social game seemed to be lacking as he ended up blindsided by Terra Freeman being voted out on Day 9. The elimination of Terra left Samson on the bottom of Ko Wai, however the switch put Samson on the new Soi Dao tribe.

On Soi Dao, Samson stuck with his previous tribemates from Ko Wai, attempting to vote out Wendy on Day 14. This resulted in a deadlocked vote between Wendy and Samson's close ally, Denise Markum, which in turn, forced everyone except Denise and Wendy to draw rocks. Luckily for Samson, he drew a white rock guaranteeing his stay in the game. Shamar Neal was eliminated, strengthening the Ko Wai Alliance and giving them the numbers advantage. They then voted out Wendy, giving them a 4-2 advantage. However, at the following Tribal Council, the Soi Dao tribe decided to unanimously vote out Denise for her weakness in challenges.

On Day 21, Samson made it to the merge, on the Suay tribe. After losing the first Individual Immunity Challenge in a close fight, Samson was made a target for being a physical threat. He was first involved in a 5-5 tie between him and Ashlee McKay, however Gary Catlett flipped his vote from Ashlee to Gary on the second vote to avoid a rock tiebreaker. Despite Samson making the merge, he did not make the jury.

## Survivor

Isabelle's likable personality brought her into the majority while on the Soi Dao tribe pre-switch. Post-switch, while the old Ko Wai members ran Isabelle's new tribe, she was able to skate by without any votes against her because of her likability and physical strength. Isabelle made it to the merge without any threat of being voted out.

On Day 21, with the first Tribal Council approaching post-merge, Isabelle banded together with Ashlee McKay, Jared Klein, Thao Pham and Tyler Lobdell to create the power alliance in the game, later on known as the Core Four Alliance. Isabelle's alliance continued to dominate the game. On Day 27, the alliance wanted to blindside Ashlee because they felt they couldn't trust her, so Isabelle told Ashlee that they were going to vote Thao out of the game because she was strong competition. At that Tribal Council, Isabelle voted for Thao to create the illusion that Ashlee was safe, but Isabelle's scheme worked and Ashlee was voted out of the game, making way for a strong group of four.

For the rest of the votes up until Day 37, the Core Four Alliance was in the position of power. However, on Day 37, with only the alliance members left they were left to turn on each other. Isabelle attempted to get rid of Thao due to her strong strategic gameplay, however Isabelle was targeted instead and she was voted out two days shy of the Final Tribal Council.

Fatima Lahlou

Fatima's smarts and sharp strategy allowed her to get to the merge practically unscathed, being on the right side of the numbers up until the old Takutea tribe systematically eliminated the members of the old Aitutaki tribe. Despite Fatima's attempts to work with the Takutea tribe, after four former Aitutaki members were voted out, Fatima became the fifth in a row.

Tyson Newman

**Days Lasted:** | 30

**Tyson Newman** is a contestant from *Survivor: Chile*.

Known for his impressive showing in challenges, Tyson's physical strength is one of the reasons Taruca only lost two challenges. Because of Tyson's success, he was kept and not on anyone's radar to take out. After the absorption of Guanaco, David Sheik and Kerry O'Sullivan tried to sway many of the original Taruca members to not vote them out, and instead take Tyson out as the largest physical threat, which nearly cost Tyson the game in a narrow 5-4 vote. At the next vote, the vote was tied between Tyson and the last former Guanaco member, Kerry, but Tyson was the one to go as Kerry convinced the tribe to keep him for being less of a threat.

## Profile

*Retrieved from survivorthesims.fandom.com*.

* **Name (Age):** Tyson Newman (21)
* **Hometown:** Bridgeport, CT
* **Occupation:** Law Student

Three words Tyson would use to describe himself are tough, open-minded, and smart. Ever since Tyson was young, he has had a love for adventure and is willing to try anything once, which is one of the reasons he thinks he's cut out for *Survivor: The Sims*. With him studying law in college currently, and his physical toughness, Tyson feels he has what it takes to go all the way and win the cash prize.

Tyson currently resides in Bridgeport, Connecticut. His birthdate is October 26, 1999.

Natasha Brown

**Natasha Brown** is a contestant from *Survivor: South Africa* and *Survivor: All-Stars*.

Natasha is best known for her sense of humor and tribe spirit throughout the game. Doing her best to bring a positive vibe to *Survivor: South Africa*, Natasha relied less on trying to play a flashy game, and more on her social relationships. However, a few votes into the merge, Natasha's likability became a concern for her tribemates and she was voted out.

Natasha's game on *All-Stars* was far more aggressive, taking control immediately of the Buka tribe in the earlier stages of the game in voting out Malcolm Mixon and Chantal Heath. However, Natasha experienced a power shift after her allies betrayed her in taking Stephanie Morales out and not including her in the vote, putting Natasha on the bottom. Once Natasha reached the merge, she was constantly under fire, receiving votes at all post-merge Tribal Councils she attended. On Day 26, she would have been voted out, but she played a Hidden Immunity Idol taking out the only previous winner left in the game, Thao Pham. With Natasha's strong gameplay and go-getter attitude, she was later taken out at the next Tribal Council for being a threat and strong player.

Terra Freeman

**Days Lasted:** | 9

**Terra Freeman** is a contestant from *Survivor: Thailand*.

Terra is best known for her strong personality and pushing the Ko Wai tribe to be workhorses around camp, which ultimately led to her being a target and being the first person voted out of Ko Wai.

## Survivor

From the very beginning of the game, Terra's presence was known on the Ko Wai tribe. Terra pushed the other members of her tribe to work hard starting Day 1 to create a functional shelter, which rubbed most of her tribe the wrong way. Despite Terra's attitude at camp being a hindrance, in challenges, Terra was one of the strongest forces.

On Day 9, the Ko Wai tribe lost their first immunity challenge, sending them to Tribal Council. Terra wanted to get rid of Chris Glover due to his lack of work ethic, and was able to bring Michaela Thompson and Samson Collins to her side. Unbeknownst to Terra, Josh Bianco led an effort to get rid of Terra due to her bossy and overbearing attitude, and Terra was blindsided in a 6-3 vote.

Maci Kressin

**Days Lasted:** | 20

**Maci Kressin** is a contestant from *Survivor: Vanuatu*.

Maci proved her status as a "brawn" early on in the game, being a challenge asset. Likable around camp, Maci was never really in danger of being voted out and made strong alliances with whoever she was around. When the tribes merged, the medical team noticed an infection on her leg and pulled her from the game, ending her journey early.

## Profile

*Retrieved from survivorthesims.fandom.com*.

* **Name (Age):** Maci Kressin (29)
* **Tribe Designation:** Brawn
* **Hometown:** Libertyville, IL
* **Current Residence:** Chippewa Falls, WI
* **Occupation:** Wildlife Biologist
* **Do You Consider Yourself a Brain, Beauty, or Brawn?** I'm for sure a brain. Looks can be deceiving, and I'm much smarter than I look. I studied biology in school, which takes guts and is really difficult. I can hang with the animals though and run around with them, I even work with animals a lot which I'd say employs my brawn-ish qualities.
* **What Are You Most Proud Of?** My growth within these past few years. I went from being really lazy and unambitious to working as a wildlife biologist and being really happy with my work.
* **Why Will You Be the Sole Survivor?** No matter what, I'll always be on everyone's good side. I'm a nice person by nature, so my social game will be where I really shine. I just want to make friends with everyone and be their allies so I can work behind the scenes as a mastermind. I'm out for blood and to win this game.

Usha Chand

**Days Lasted:** | 31

**Usha Chand** is a contestant from *Survivor: Fiji*.

A well-rounded player, Usha didn't come across as a threat from the jump because of her pleasant and kind nature as a former *Miss Sims California*. Usha used her social charm to bring her farther in the game. Usha's first major obstacle in the game is when the Vomo tribe voted out Yasmin Elkader, Usha's strongest ally at the time, and Usha flopped to the wrong side of the numbers. As a result, after the tribes merged, Usha was commonly a target and received votes at the first two tribal councils post-merge. At the new Wasa camp, Usha found a Hidden Immunity Idol and played it on Day 21, which turned into a big move for her as the majority of the votes were negated because of her playing her idol. Usha's decision to play her idol got her intended target Kisha Weston voted out, proving Usha had a lot of game left to play. She remained safe up until Day 31, when she came close to winning immunity but lost at the last second, and was voted out unanimously due to her being too large of a threat to keep around any longer.
