Isobel is a contestant from *Survivor: Redemption Island* and *Survivor: China*.

She later returned as one of the sixteen veteran *Survivor* castaways as a housemate on *Big Brother 3*. After 80 days of competing and being dubbed a 'challenge beast', Isobel finished as the seasons Winner against Tucker.

## Survivor: Redemption Island

Isobel began *Survivor: Redemption Island* on the purple Zapatera tribe at the beginning of the game. She was originally in an alliance with the women of her tribe. They were successful in voting out Ryder, Scott and John from the opposing mens alliance. With orders from Mandy however, the women turned on Bethany and she was eliminated. The immunity wins for Zapatera where spread throughout this time, before they won three consecutive challenges.

Nearing the merge, the Zapatera tribe split into two new alliances, with Isobel, Jett and Cindy on one side and Summer and Mandy on the other. Bethany then won a Redemption Island duel that sent her back in the game, giving her a tough decision to pick an alliance. Ryder also returned to the game, but the merge spared the tribe from voting each other out.

At this point, Isobel made the merge. Unfortunately for her, Mandy threw Isobel's alliance under the bus and found allies in the original Ometepe tribe. At the first merged tribal council, Isobel was voted out by Mandy's alliance and the Ometepe alliance. At Redemption Island, she lost the first duel against her allies Cindy and Jett and was officially eliminated from the game. At the Final Tribal Council, Isobel voted for Summer to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: China

Isobel the returned for *Survivor: China* originally on the gold Zhan Hu tribe. Due to her rivalry with Virgil from *Redemption Island*, she aligned with Kucha allies Dion and Miles as well as their new ally Cherry. They became the majority alliance when smaller alliances formed within the rest of the tribe. At their first loss on Day 3, Isobel was able to convince her new alliance to vote out her adversary Virgil. The remaining members of the tribe formed an alliance of four against Isobel's own quartet. This scared Isobel, who knew from the history of the game that she could be eliminated without ever receiving a vote cast against her. At their second loss, she flipped on her allies to eliminate Miles.

After an immunity win, a tribe switch occurred on Da 10. Isobel was placed on the red Fei Long tribe along with Jade and Jase. They joined Bailey, Bella, Chord, Trey and Winston from the original Fei Long. Though Isobel's original tribe was in the minority on Fei Long, they were given a lucky break when Chord flipped. At tribal council, Isobel voted with his alliance for Bailey but a tie occurred between her and Jase. Isobel was again worried about a deadlocked vote and flipped to eliminate Jase at the revote. This move proved fatal for Isobel because both alliances saw as her an untrustworthy flipper. At Fei Long's second consecutive loss, Isobel was voted out.

## Big Brother 3

In August 2022, Isobel entered the Big Brother 3 house with fellow *Redemption Island* alum Dave. Within the first month of the game, Isobel formed The Girl Bosses with Kayla, Luisa and Rani before each woman included their closest male ally into the alliance. The Girl Bosses had a rivalry with The Commune, the other majority alliance in the house. After firing shots at each other during the pre-jury phase, The Girl Bosses seemed to take control after the Triple Eviction on Day 44. Isobel then created The Spies with Dave, Luisa and Fawn, a former member of The Commune who returned to the game. Isobel won multiple HOH competitions during the jury phase to turn on her former Girl Bosses Kayla and Liamm, before choosing to evict her closest allies Dave and Fawn because they were huge jury threats. After choosing to sit beside Tucker at the Final Two, Isobel won in an unanimous jury vote for being a challenge beast and playing an aggressive but underrated strategic game.
