Cora Cummings

***Cora*** was a castaway on ***One Surv1vor: Australia*** and later on ***One Surv1vor: All-Stars***

## Australia

Cora began the game on the Tanami tribe, and she quickly found an ally in Tucker. She immediately began working her relationships in the game, proving to be an early social threat. Though she found herself in a seemingly solid place in the tribe, Cora never needed to test her loyalties as she was never vulnerable before the swap.

Along with close ally Tucker, Cora swapped to the new Tirari tribe on day 6. This new tribe proved to be a one-eighty for Cora compared to her previous tribe. She even found her way into new alliances, as well as new targets. Like on her old tribe, Cora found herself in a strong position on her new one. As well, with her tribe never losing a single post-swap challenge, she was on her way to making the merge.

On day 13, Cora made it to the merge with the rest of the final 9. Going into the merge, Cora had a decent amount of allies and alliances, most notably her number one Tucker. However, there were still people in the game that Cora saw as targets, specifically Neil. Among most of the tribe, Cora didn't take Neil's antics lightly, especially when he ate all the tribe's rice on the first day of the merge. It was clear that Cora was gearing towards wanting Neil out, but when he won the first individual immunity challenge, she had to consider other options. Although people like Neil were pushing for a Leftie vote out, Cora sided with Leftie's side and voted out Pepper, which everyone ending up doing anyways.

When Neil lost the next immunity challenge, Cora and close ally Tucker initially wanted to follow most of the tribe in finally booting Neil. However, with some thinking about who really is a bigger threat at the moment, Cora and Tucker considered blindsiding Trevor. After some thought, Cora and her number one decided to move forward with the plan to take Trevor out, but they needed to recruit people to join their side. They for sure had Neil since he was the alternative option, but they also managed to get Dat and Chicken to vote wit them. At tribal council, their plan almost worked out, but when Neil forgot to vote, her received a self-vote and the vote ended in a tie. Fortunately though, in the revote, Cora and Tucker had the numbers on their side to send Trevor out of the game.

At the final 7, Cora began considering an alternative path to end, which involved keeping Neil in the game. However, with her close ally seeing things differently, she was at a crossroads on what her plan moving forward should be. She even began thinking that going to the end with her ally since day 1 could be more of a hinderance than a benefit, but she still was glad to have such a solid ally in him. When Neil won the next immunity challenge, Cora's options began to be brought down to a much simpler consideration. For Cora and Tucker, their plan was to either vote out Leftie or Neil, which only left Leftie as a preferable option for them. Despite Leftie's best attempts to turn the vote around, Cora and Tucker once again got their way as she was voted out.

With only six people left, Cora was getting closer and closer to reaching her goal by making it to final tribal council, but she still had many obstacles in her way. One specific obstacle, was Neil and his challenge dominance. Fortunately for Cora, Tucker won immunity and Neil was left vulnerable. Despite seemingly wanting to keep Neil a bit longer, Cora knew it was best for her game to take out the biggest challenge threat. At tribal council, Cora and the rest of the tribe unanimously voted Neil out of the game.

When JT won the final 5 immunity challenge, Cora was left in a tough spot as she had limited voting options, which led her to consider voting out her closest ally Tucker. The vote quickly became a divide between either Cora or Tucker to be voted out. After a long season of being the closest of allies and friends, Cora and Tucker were finally going head-to-head in a battle to survive and eliminate the other. At first, it didn't seem good for Cora, but with a little convincing she got the vote turned around against Tucker. Feeling desperate, Tucker appealed to Cora in an attempt to survive. At tribal council, despite her long-time allies pleas, Cora took Tucker out along with everyone else.

With only 4 people left standing, Cora's chances of making it to the end was growing stronger, but winning immunity was never more important for her. When JT won immunity yet again, Cora became the number one target for the rest of the final four. She gave it her all and did her best to turn the vote around, but when pen met parchment, most of them read her name, and she was eliminated by a **3**-1 vote. Cora became the sixth member of the jury.
