## Survivor

Crystal started off as a member of Shimazu. On Day 1, she formed a close bond with Alex Cummings and Navya Patel. The 3 of them, along with Jennifer Gonzalez, started an alliance. Crystal was hesitant on working with Jennifer from the start after Jennifer admitting she couldn't keep her mouth shut. After Shimazu lost immunity on Day 3, the alliance of 4 voted for Betsy Christensen due to Betsy being a weak link for the tribe. The vote tied in a 4-4 vote between Jennifer and Betsy. During the revote, everyone voted for Betsy, sending Betsy home in a 6-0 revote. Shimazu managed to win immunity on Day 6. Crystal noticed that the alliance of 4 was starting to fall apart so she made sure to keep everyone together in the alliance. On Day 9, Shimazu lost again. Crystal's alliance brought in tribe member Roy DeVega to vote alongside them. He agreed and at tribal, Mark Watson was sent home in a 5-2 vote. Back at camp after tribal, Paul McAllister had an outburst towards the rest of the tribe due to being the only person to stick with Mark during the vote. On Day 12, Shimazu lost their 3rd immunity challenge. At camp after the challenge, Alex told everyone besides Paul that Paul was going home and that the vote should be easy. This irritated Crystal and Jennifer. Jennifer went and told Paul that Alex said he was the easy vote. When Crystal realized Jennifer told Paul the vote plan, she realized that everyone should target Alex due to becoming bossy. At tribal, everyone flipped on Alex except for Navya. This kept Paul safe and Crystal realized the alliance of 4 was over. Alex was sent home, which left Navya on the bottom of the tribe. Shimazu lost their 4th total immunity challenge and 3rd straight immunity challenge on Day 14. Back at camp, Crystal was completely out of the loop due to no one talking to her. This caused her to become paranoid and she believed she was going home. At tribal, Crystal voted for Paul believing Jennifer and Roy wanted him out this time for sure. The vote ended in a 2-2-1 vote with Crystal being the only one to vote for Paul. Both Paul and Navya voted for Crystal, but luckily for Crystal, Jennifer and Roy voted for Navya. This left Crystal and Navya tied. During the revote, Paul still voted for Crystal, but Jennifer and Roy voted for Navya again which sent Navya home in a 2-1 revote. Crystal thanked Jennifer and Roy after tribal. On Day 17, Shimazu won immunity, which greatly boosted everyone's morale on Shimazu.

On Day 18, Shimazu and the opposing tribe, Takeda, merged and became the Issho tribe. Everyone bonded well during the merge feast, but Jennifer made comments after drinking a lot which made it seem like she did not want to stick with Shimazu. On Day 19, Jennifer won individual immunity. Back at camp after the challenge, Crystal had no idea who to vote for. Everyone started scrambling and it became clear that the old tribal lines were no more. Shimazu and Takeda members were splitting off into their own groups. Crystal decided to form an alliance with Takeda members Tyler James, Chris Hopkins, and Margarita Chen-Chavez. Tyler let Crystal know that Jennifer approached him earlier and mentioned her name. Crystal knew that she was being targeted. At tribal later that night, Crystal pleaded her case to everyone on why she should stay. Jennifer mentioned that she was a big strategic threat and ran most of the pre-merge over at Shimazu. Crystal's plea did not work as she was voted out in a close 6-4 vote. She just barely missed out on making the jury. She finished in 10th place overall.
