## Survivor

Isabella started the game on the Amethyst tribe after Flava was exiled. She was happy with her tribe and got along with everyone, and on Day 2, Kham initiated the formation of an alliance called the Early Birds with himself, Isabella, Nate, and Jamal. Isabella began to feel overwhelmed by the stresses of the game, especially after Amethyst lost the first challenge. Kham pushed for Mason to be the first boot, and Isabella agreed to go along with the plan. Kham's willingness to control the vote and throw out a name made Isabella slightly wary of him.

After Mason was eliminated, Flava joined the Amethyst tribe. When they lost again, Nate and Kham pushed for a Pebbles vote in the hopes that Flava would be scared enough to play anything he found while Exiled. Isabella and Jamal both felt close to Pebbles and preferred to keep her over Flava, but ultimately went along with the plan as to not rock the boat. Amethyst went to tribal yet again after Pebbles' unanimous boot, and the Early Birds ultimately decided to stick together and vote out Flava, who was somewhat inactive and unreliable.

At the Final 16, Isabella swapped to Ruby, which was made up of 3 Pearls (AP, Olly, and Pixiel), three Amethysts (Kham, Isabella, and Nate), and two Garnets (Treavor and Lindsey). The three former Amethysts made a new alliance called Slightly Empty Nest. Isabella was happy to be with her Amethyst allies, but was even more elated to be with Olly, who she knew from a previous season of *RSurvivor.* Olly immediately told Isabella that he found the Pearl idol, and Isabella told him all of the details of what happened on Amethyst. Meanwhile, Nate and Kham decided to lie about what happened on their OG tribe, playing up a supposed "feud" between the two of them in order to make the Amethysts appear less threatening as a trio. They told this lie to Olly, unaware that he already heard that truth from Isabella.

After losing the next immunity challenge, the three Amethysts pulled in Treavor and Lindsey to form the Sugilite majority alliance. This new Garnet-Amethyst coalition targeted AP, with Lindsey’s name as the decoy. Although the initial plan was to leave Olly out of the AP vote in case of an idol play, Isabella leaked the vote to Olly to maintain his trust, and AP was eliminated. When Ruby lost their second immunity challenge in a row, the Garnets and the Amethysts targeted Pixiel and planned to split the votes between her and Olly in case she played the Pearl idol. The non-stop tribal councils continued to take their toll on Isabella, who struggled at times with wanting to continue playing the game. Shortly before the vote, Treavor grew concerned about what would happen if Pixiel idoled herself and Olly voted with her. Wanting to avoid a tie, he changed his vote to Olly right before the deadline without telling his alliance members. Since Olly voted Pixiel and not Treavor, this meant that the vote tied 3 Olly, 3 Pixiel, 1 Treavor. The revote happened quickly and Pixiel was eliminated in 15th place. Isabella was annoyed when she realized one of her alliance members changed their vote without warning.

At the second swap, Isabella stayed on Ruby with Nate, Kham, and Lindsey. Simone, Joey, and Dumpy swapped over into a 4-3 minority. Although she was happy with her new tribe, Isabella worried about Olly on Sapphire 2.0. During the greed challenge, Isabella grew annoyed with Vivi's attitude. After no one took the necklace, Nate and Kham pushed for a Lindsey blindside. Although she liked Lindsey, Isabella's main strategy at this point was to stay close to Nate and Kham and stay under the radar until she could meet up with Jamal and Olly again, so she agreed to the plan.

Following Lindsey's blindside, Ruby won the next challenge and Rhone was voted out on Sapphire 2.0, giving Isabella, Kham, and Nate a break from Tribal Council just before the merge. At the merge, Isabella was relieved to see that all of her allies had survived. Isabella also grew closer with Simone, who she found enjoyable to talk to. Although she still trusted Olly, Isabella worried that he and Vivi were too close and hinted to Nate that he might have the Pearl idol.

After Vivi won immunity, Joey started pushing for an Olly blindside. Nate and Kham jumped on board with the Olly blindside plan with Joey as the decoy. Isabella didn't want Olly gone, but saw this vote as an opportunity to build his trust while also flushing his idol. She decided to tell him he was the vote at the last minute and have him play his idol, eliminating Joey instead. However, the merge vote got messy when Dumpy leaked the Olly blindside plan to Brandon, who leaked it to Olly and Vivi in a new alliance called Hmmmm. The four of them decided to vote out Kham. Olly told Isabella about the Kham plan and Isabella told Nate, who told Kham. The merge tribe descended into chaos in the hours leading up to the vote, with the Early Birds throwing out multiple possible targets (including Ant and Brandon) before finally settling on Joey. At tribal, Vivi played her Garnet idol on Brandon and Olly played Vivi's merge idol on himself. Kham became the Mayor of Ponderosa in a 5-4-1-~~1~~ vote.

After losing her ally Kham, Isabella was happy at least two of the idols were out of the game. She wanted Dumpy or Vivi gone next, and it looked like she might get her way when the vote initially shifted onto Dumpy at the next tribal council. Ant floated the idea of blindsiding Olly to Isabella, who immediately leaked it to Olly. Brandon eventually shifted the vote off of Dumpy and onto Nate, and when Isabella learned he was the vote, she changed her vote to Vivi out of spite. Nate was eliminated in a 7-2-1 vote, and Isabella felt even more frustrated with her position on the tribe.

Vivi and Isabella's game relationship grew increasingly tense. At the Final 9, Olly pushed for Ant to go because he targeted Olly in the previous round, which Isabella was on board with. Meanwhile, Brandon decided to make his move against Vivi and Olly. Brandon rallied Simone, Ant, Jamal, and Dumpy to blindside Olly with the idol in his pocket, leaving Isabella, Olly, Vivi, and Joey in the dark. Olly grew suspicious that he was being blindsided and told Vivi and Isabella. Olly and Isabella considered idoling out Brandon, but decided against it. Olly played the idol on himself, successfully negating the five votes against him, and sent Antony out of the game with just three votes against him. Isabella threw her vote on Jamal to ruin his chance of a perfect game.

Vivi and Isabella, both on the "bottom" after the last round, started to repair the rift between them and grew close. After coming close to winning immunity, Isabella flew under the radar during the Final 8 tribal, where a new alliance of Jamal, Simone, and Vivi directed the vote onto Brandon. That alliance pulled in Olly and Isabella, and they blindsided Brandon in a 5-2-1 vote.

At the Final 7, Isabella wanted Dumpy gone, and Vivi and Olly agreed. Meanwhile, a new majority alliance of Dumpy, Jamal, Joey, and Simone formed called Fuck The Patriarchy and targeted Olly as a jury threat. Isabella worried that she was the target shortly before the vote. She was relieved to see that she had survived when Olly was blindsided, but realized that she was once again firmly on the bottom of the tribe.

Isabella knew her only chance at survival was to win the Final 6 immunity challenge after Jamal told her he viewed her as a jury threat. Vivi and Isabella commiserated about their positions in the game. When Isabella lost the immunity challenge, she knew her only shot was to try to get the vote onto her newfound ally Vivi instead, but her fate was sealed. Jamal played his Vote Steal on Isabella since it was the last round he could do so. Isabella accepted her fate and left the game on a positive note in 6th place.

At Final Tribal Council, Isabella initially leaned heavily towards voting Vivi. However, Simone's FTC performance swayed Isabella to vote for her. At the reunion, Isabella received the Hero of the Season award.
