## Survivor

Navya started the game on Shimazu. She quickly became part of a strong 4 person alliance consisting of herself, Alex Cummings, Crystal Underwood, and Jennifer Gonzalez. After Shimazu lost immunity on Day 3, Navya voted with her alliance, but the opposing 4 members of the tribe took a shot at Jennifer. The vote tied in a 4-4 vote. Luckily for Navya, everyone voted together on the revote, and the opposing side of the tribe lost a member as Betsy Christensen was sent home for her weak performance in the immunity challenge. After tribal, Navya was clearly a part of the majority alliance on the tribe. Shimazu managed to win reward on Day 4 and immunity on Day 6. When Shimazu lost immunity on Day 9, Navya's alliance brought in Roy DeVega to vote with all of them. This put Mark Watson and Paul McAllister on the bottom of the tribe. Later that night, Mark was sent home in a 5-2 vote. This vote caused Paul to blow up on the tribe, rubbing some members the wrong way. Shimazu lost their 3rd immunity challenge on Day 12. Members of the tribe started to believe Alex was running the alliance of 4 that Navya was in. When Alex told the alliance that the vote should be unanimous and everyone should be voting for Paul, Jennifer went and let Paul know what Alex said. This caused the whole tribe except for Navya to flip on Alex. Navya's closest ally was then blindsided in a 4-2 vote. Shimazu lost immunity again on Day 14. At this point, Shimazu was going to 4 out of the 5 tribal councils so far in the season. Navya managed to pull Paul on to her side. She let him know that he was disposable to the other members of the tribe. The two of them decided to take a shot at Crystal for being more of a mastermind than the older Roy and loudmouth Jennifer. At tribal, the first vote tied in a 2-2-1 vote between Navya and Crystal. Paul wanted to stick with Navya and keep her safe, but Roy and Jennifer still voted for Navya. This sent Navya home in a close 2-1 vote. Navya finished the season in 12th place.
