She later returned as one of the sixteen veteran *Survivor* castaways as a housemate on *Big Brother 3*. Aisha was evicted seventh on Day 44, finishing in 10th place.

## Survivor: San Juan Del Sur

Aisha began *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur* on the blue Hunahpu tribe. At their first loss, David was voted out unanimously for his poor work ethic, poor challenge ability and poor social skills. Aisha then made an alliance with Skye, Priya, Leo, Ryan and Travis to secure their safety in the game. At the tribes second loss, the Hunahpu Alliance of six voted together in sending Richard home.

At this point, a tribe switch occurred and Aisha stayed on Hunahpu with original members Penny, Lina and Travis. Hoping to not be outdone by the original Coyopa tribe, Penny, Travis, Aisha and Lina formed their alliance in the hopes of bringing in an outsider. Domenic joined their group and blindsided his friend Erinn when Hunahpu lost. Domenic turned on the alliance when they lost the second time, sending Penny home.

At this point, Aisha made the merge. The post-switch Hunahpu tribe worked together and were successful in voting out Leo, Katrina and Marina. Travis, one of Aisha's closest allies was blindsided in the hopes of strengthening the rest of the Hunahpu alliance. The post-switch Coyopa's suffered another loss and Ryan and Joel were voted out. At the Final Six, Priya was the last post-switch Coyopa member. However, she convinced her original ally Aisha to vote with her, resulting in the eliminations of Lina and Liam. Aisha then cut Priya loose, making her the final member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, the jury respected Aisha's honest style of gameplay compared to Vanessa's strong social game and Domenic's cut-throat style. She was crowned the title of Sole Survivor, earning jury votes from original Hunahpu members Priya, Lina, Ryan, Travis and Leo.

## Survivor: Gabon

Aisha began *Survivor: Gabon* in her second season, originally on the yellow Kota tribe. She and Travis agreed that their previous connection was too overt the previous season, and they decided to downplay this within their new tribe. They aligned with Thomas, Tison and Vanessa as a coalition against Domenic because they were burned by him in their previous appearances. During this time, Aisha's tribe won the first four immunity challenges. At the tribe switch, she remained on Kota along with Domenic, Erinn, Leo and Thomas whilst being joined by Ryan and Skye. Aisha remained tight with her fellow SJDS allies Leo, Ryan and Skye where this was not tested until Day 18. They planned on voting for Domenic, but Leo and Skye flipped to blindside Aisha for her connection to Travis and her status as a former winner.

### Voting History

 3

## Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains

For her sweet approach to the game and chilled gameplay, Aisha was placed on the Heroes tribe during *Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains*. Early in the game, the men formed an alliance of alpha males which left Aisha on the outs. However, Ryan and Travis from her previous seasons were apart of the Alpha Male Alliance and they were ensuring Aisha's name wasn't being thrown around. At the tribes first three triba councils, the Alpha Males successfully eliminated Vanessa, Hayden and Summer. However, one of Aisha's allies, Skye was voted out as a result of a Hidden Immunity Idol.

When the Heroes lost the next time, Erinn was voted out for being in the minority, The males alliance crumbled and Thomas and Ryan were voted out. At this point, Aisha made the merge. Bethany was voted out first by the all members of the Villains tribe, closely followed by Priya being blindsided from her alliance. By this point, an unsettling pair of alliances were at war, with it literally being Heroes vs. Villains.

However, with the help of Ashleigh, the Heroes voted out Hunter. The minority members of Jeremiah, Glimmer, Aiden, Travis and Mandy were voted out for not having a strong enough game. Domenic and Ashleigh, as the only villains left made the Heroes turn on each other through some shifty gameplay. After the Heroes voted out Dion, Aisha became the second casualty and was a member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, she voted for Domenic to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: India

For being a winner, Aisha returned for *Survivor: India* originally on the yellow-gold Brahma tribe. The women voted together at the first two tribal councils, sending Cherry and Mitchell home. By Day 8, a smaller womens alliance was formed, consisting of Ashleigh, Aisha, Marina and Darcy, voting out Mandy. In the majority alliance and at the next tribal council, Skye was voted out.

At the tribe dissolve, Aisha was switched to the green Shiva tribe with original members Ashleigh, Jack and Winston. Throughout the losses of the tribe, Aisha always seemed to be in the middle of the tribe. At the eliminations of Jon, Hunter Harry and Jase, Aisha was lucky enough to be deemed safe.

By this time, Aisha made the merge. She was quickly placed in the minority but was given a pass by the majority and had to vote out allies Marina and Grayson. She continued to then make up who she voted out and failed to vote with the majority apart from an epic blindside against the Australian Outback Winners alliance. However, in the end, Aisha became too much of a threat to the alliance and she was voted out. At the Final Tribal Council, she voted for Ashleigh to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Big Brother 3

When Aisha entered the Big Brother 3 house in August 2022, she reconvened with her Alpha Male ally Dion whilst also forming a close bond with Dave and Fawn. By the end of Week 1, Aisha was apart of a majority alliance known as The Commune that included Dave, Dion, Fawn, Josh, Lauren, Liamm and Tucker. After voting with the house to evict Shawna and Yvie, The Commune planned on voting for Kayla in Week 3. However, Dave and Liamm worked with the rest of the house to evict Rahul. In Week 4, Aisha formed a trio with Fawn and Tucker whilst HOH Kayla nominated Dion and Josh. This put The Commune in a vulnerable position, which resulted in Josh and Dion getting evicted from the Big Brother house over the next two weeks. After forming a Final 2 with Fawn, who became the HOH in Week 6, The Commune gained power by nominating Rani and Kayla. A Triple Eviction occurred on Day 44, which began when Rani was evicted. That same night, Aisha was nominated beside Fawn and Lauren by Luisa. After Liamm refused to save anyone with the POV, Aisha and Fawn did not receive enough votes to save and were evicted. Aisha did not win the Round Trip Ticket to return to the house and became the second member of the jury, where she ultimately voted for Isobel to win.
