Kristine was a contestant on Trevivor Season 1: The Nine Realms, and since then has served as a host on Season 3: Camelot's Last Stand, Season 4: Wukong's Wrath and Season 5: Tomb of Osiris. Dominant socially for all of S1, she never found herself outside of the majority and was never in any danger until the very end, where she won final immunity to book her spot at FTC. Once there, her impressive game and strong social bonds with much of the jury led to a comfortable 7-2-1 victory.

## Trevor's Cast Assessment

*Kristine is a **big** player, she’s great at forming good connections with people and knows how to call the shots, I’m just wondering whether or not it’ll put too large of a target on her back. In pregame she seemed very close to Dawson, if they reunite at some point in this game I’m curious as to whether that will hinder or help the two of them. Either way, Kristine is a seriously strong contender and I’m excited to see how she’ll play here.*

## The Nine Realms

Sorted onto the Midgard tribe, Kristine connected quickly with Adam, and was part of the first alliance on the tribe - ALLT-F4 with Adam, Tyler and Logan. At the same time, she was slightly wary of Tyler and Logan, the latter especially, as Adam told her that Logan had found a Safety Without Power advantage, but she was not told this by anyone else.

Despite this, she found herself in a comfortable spot in the tribe, and was not in any danger when Midgard lost the first challenge (Wrassling). Not having much of a preference between the two targets of Jack and Shray due to not connecting with either of them, she was happy to go with the plan to vote out Shray when the vote landed on her, and she was eliminated unanimously. Midgard avoided a second tribal after they pulled out the win in the arena battle Hnefatafl. Kristine was not one of the most high-profile figures on the tribe at this time, but she continued to grow her bonds with the other power players on the tribe.

The F18 tribe swap followed, and Kristine was sent to Muspelheim with Shannon and Saish from Midgard, and Dawson, Kamil and Aby B from Nidavellir. Immediately rekindling her connection with Dawson from the pregame spec lounge, she also clicked well with Kamil, putting her right in the middle in a powerful spot on this new tribe. While Saish formed a Midgard alliance with Kristine and Shannon, Kristine did not feel extremely loyal to her OG tribemates, especially Shannon who she had barely talked to at all.

When the three tribes were told they all had to sit someone out for the 24 Hour Scavenger Hunt and send them to Hel for the duration of the challenge, the Muspelheim tribe decided to randomize it. After pancake bot sent Aby B to Hel, Muspelheim dominated the scavenger hunt, clinching safety with hours to spare. The good times did not keep rolling, however, as the following cycle Saish blew up in an argument over being DQed in the planned Make 24 challenge, and quit, putting the tribe down a member without losing a challenge. Losing an OG Midgard did not hurt Kristine's position though, as at this point she was running the tribe with Dawson and Kamil.

Muspelheim regained their footing in the F16 Puzzle Gauntlet, as they again came in first place. Kristine competed in the Logic Puzzle, and was the only person to complete it as Tyler and Jmoney both could not figure it out. While he was struggling, Tyler asked multiple times for Kristine to give him some sort of help, but not wanting to put a target on herself, she refused to do so.

What came next was the F15 Trust Rankings swap, and Kristine was named the #1 most trusted player in the game, with an average placement of 5.3 on her fellow players' trust rankings. Because of this, she was sent to Hel for the entirety of the F15 cycle, and told that she would join whichever tribe lost the next challenge after they voted someone out. While somewhat worried about what this label of "most trusted", being away in Hel for a cycle did provide the opportunity for a reward hunt, and she was able to solve the puzzles provided to her, winning a temporary idol good until F13. With that now in her pocket, all she could do was wait until the cycle ended, and in the end she was away from everyone else for a day and a half. .

Following Kamil's elimination, Kristine returned from Hel to join the Niflheim tribe, which consisted of Adam, Tyler, Logan, Aidan, Mason and Dawson. She did not have a ton of time to reconnect as the next challenge - 99 Bottles - came right after she joined, and the cycle as a whole only lasted a little over 12 hours. Niflheim dominated the challenge, winning with a time around 7x as fast as Alfheim's and Kristine found herself again surrounded by people who wanted to work with her. The OG Midgards on the tribe were the most powerful players in the game at that moment, while Dawson was someone that she wanted to work with and knew wanted to work with her. Going to a tribal with this group would have presented a tough predicament, but any chance of that was avoided as the merge came the following cycle.

Soon after the merge began, Kristine was pulled into Griff's plan to vote out Sarah, as he made an alliance chat with her, Tyler, Adam and Dawson. Kristine let Aidan know this was happening, and Aidan shared it with his fellow Jotunheim allies (Logan, Jmoney and Mason). The four of them, Kristine and Dawson came together to discuss their options, with Mason trying to push a Griff vote (which didn't go anywhere). Dawson suggested bringing in Sarah as a number rather than vote her out, which the rest agreed with. When it came to deciding on a new target, Kristine was one of those who wanted to go after Adam, as he was seen as the clear biggest threat in the game, but Logan thought it was too early to do that and argued against it. In the end, they went with Logan's suggesting of targeting Shannon as she was more of an unknown, but the goal of voting out Adam as soon as possible remained in peoples' minds.

Before the next challenge, which was Greed, Kristine was a witness to a major argument between Mason and Griff in a VC, with the two of them not hiding their dislike of each other and wanting nothing to do with each other going forward. Partially because of this, Mason went for immunity in Greed, with he and Jack earning F13 immunity at the cost of their F12 vote. With the opportunity to split votes on Jack to try and flush the idol everyone believed he had now gone, the plan moved to pushing everyone's votes onto Shannon, with Tyler and Adam easy to convince as Shannon was who they had had in mind as a target at the beginning of the cycle. Shannon was thus voted out 11-2, with Griff in the minority.

After backing off of it the previous cycle, Kristine, Aidan and Dawson were all now focused on not waiting any longer to get Adam out. To plan this, the group of six that had discussed the idea the previous cycle (the three of them, Logan, Jmoney and Mason) officially formed the peepee alliance, while they also made Coleslaw, which was the same as peepee except with Sarah replacing Logan. While Jack initially would have been an option to recruit as a number, the fact that he didn't have a vote this cycle meant he was left out for the most part. After Logan managed to beat Adam (and Griff) in the final of noitcaeR, they had the opportunity to take their shot at him.

In their alliance, Jmoney shared that he had a Vote Steal, while Kristine shared that she had a temporary idol. Because of this, a plan was formed where nearly everyone would vote for Jmoney (as that was who Griff, Tyler, Adam and Colin were pushing), and Kristine would give Jmoney her idol so he could use it to take out Adam. Everyone agreed on this, but the only problem was that Kristine's idol had actually expired the previous tribal, and she hadn't realized as she miscounted the number of people who were left. Jmoney - after receiving the idol - did realize this, and this caused some chaos as he first thought that Kristine had done this on purpose to try and get him out.

Once he'd been assured it was a mistake, he stole Griff's vote to make sure they had the numbers, and the others all had to change things up and vote for Adam themselves, which they all did though Logan was still somewhat reluctant. Things again were shaken up when Sarah for no discernible reason leaked to Tyler that there was a plan to vote out Adam, which made Kristine, Aidan and Logan all leap to do damage control, reassuring Adam and Tyler that they were all still together. As Adam did not trust Sarah anywhere close to as much as the other three, he was calmed into not idoling, and he was blindsided 7-3, with Tyler, Colin and Griff (no vote) left out.

The minority from that vote quickly imploded, with Tyler and Colin happy to turn against Griff, and Tyler looked to get closer with the OG Midgards members again. Without Adam by his side, he slowly made his way back into the majority. While it looked like Griff would be the likely target, Sarah told Aidan she wanted to try and blindside Kristine next, which he immediately leaked to her. Already not trusting Sarah due to her leaking the Adam vote the previous cycle, this put a target on her as well, made bigger when Griff won immunity in the Norse Video Trivia challenge.

After winning, Griff looked to make an alliance to try and vote out Logan, who he saw as the biggest threat, including Kristine, Dawson, Tyler, Jack and Colin. This did not go anywhere, with Kristine telling him that Sarah would be a much easier target, and after Kristine and Tyler told Logan that Griff wanted to gun for him, Logan posted a fake idol in tribal council chat to claim that he had a real one. More awkwardness ensued on a VC, as while Griff was talking to Kristine and Tyler about how they could try and target Mason instead, Mason joined to ask why he was being targeted.

This did lead to Griff being fine with voting out Sarah as he assumed she'd been the one to leak this to Mason, while there was also the thought of throwing some votes on Jack due to his supposed idol. To try and stop this, Jack made the Jack Stans alliance with Kristine, Dawson, Tyler, Mason and Griff where he pleaded with them to keep him in, then made an announcement in tribal council chat that he did not have an idol, and that it had all been a lie from Pyro back at F18. This left many confused, but ended up pushing all the votes onto Sarah, and she was voted out unanimously.

At F10, the rivalry between Mason and Griff had heated up to the point where one of them simply had to go. As she was allied with Mason at the time, the choice between the two was easy for Kristine, and just about everyone was happy to vote out Griff. The exception was Dawson, who had won immunity that cycle. who had grown frustrated with what he saw as the OG Midgards (Kristine, Aidan, Logan and Tyler) holding all the power in the game. Because of this, he wanted to try and bolster his resume by pushing for a Jack vote, but no one else was on board with this. This led to him clashing with Kristine, the two of them not agreeing on what they wanted to do, and he still threw his vote on Jack while Griff was eliminated 8-1-1, voting for Mason on his way out.

The F9 challenge was Sacrifices, and Kristine only accepted three, while both Mason and Jmoney accepted all of the ones that were available. Needing a tiebreaker round, Jmoney eventually won immunity at the cost of having to go to Hel until the end of the F8 cycle. This left Mason without immunity, without a vote and without the ability to speak in DMs or alliance chats. He was a sitting duck, and Kristine wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to break up the duo of Mason and Jmoney, feeling that they would stick with each other over anyone else in the game. Virtually everyone was happy to vote out Mason, and he was eliminated 5-2, with Dawson and Colin throwing votes on Jack just in case.

During this tribal, Kristine and Tyler had a VC call that lasted for over five hours, solidifying an endgame pact with each other. Tyler had also warmed to the idea of going to F4 with Dawson (as well as Kristine and Colin), which she was pleased with as while her relationship with Dawson had become more strained, they still both wanted to keep each other in.

After Mason's vote-out, the players were hit by the twist that all DMs and alliance chats would be locked for the full F8 cycle. The live arena challenge Hnutukast followed, and Tyler won immunity. Kristine made her way to the live tribal with everyone else, but then Logan shocked the others by playing his Safety Without Power on her, sending her away from tribal council completely. Now immune but without a vote or the ability to even see what was happening at tribal, Kristine was left somewhat distraught as while she was happy to be safe, she felt that Logan had done this to try and push a Dawson vote. Unable to talk to anyone, she was left waiting as tribal stretched on to nearly the deadline, confused as to what was keeping them in there.

Once tribal finally ended with Jmoney eliminated, Kristine welcomed everyone back to camp and was filled in by everyone else on what exactly had happened, with Tyler pushing for a Logan vote then eventually backing off as the biggest highlight. There was so much to say that Kristine and Colin even DMed each other for the very first time (lol). The challenge that followed was Touchy Subjects, and this left Kristine quite paranoid as she was named the majority answer for "Who is the biggest threat?", "Who is the most trusted?" (tied with Tyler) and "Who is the biggest hero?". She was worried that she would be targeted because of this, and hearing that Logan was trying to push her name, combined with feeling that Aidan was not talking to her as much as usual, left her feeling like she could be the next one gone.

However, she was safe, with Dawson and Tyler standing strong beside her, Jack and Colin preferring to boot Logan over her, and Aidan re-pledging his allegiance to those in the majority and to her in particular, saying that she was his closest ally. Logan dragged out the vote a little bit once again, and played another fake idol, but knowing he was gone didn't wait too long before submitting his vote for Kristine, getting voted out unanimously.

Entering F6, Kristine had three of the other five players (Dawson, Aidan and Tyler) telling her that she was their #1. Because of this, she had her eye on Jack as the next boot, wanting to take out someone she didn't have much of a connection with. But while she and Dawson reaffirmed their goal of sitting next to each other at FTC, Kristine began to become worried that Tyler wanted to cut her before then. This was because of him telling her that he wanted Dawson at FTC, and knowing that he'd been tight with Colin for the majority of the game (though Colin had wanted to distance himself from Tyler since the live tribal due to being told the general perception was that he was Tyler's goat).

The challenge was a gauntlet made up of pieces of previous challenges, and while Kristine was pessimistic about her chances going in, she finished in just under 43 minutes, beating closest competitor Aidan by 15 minutes and winning her first immunity. While hoping to quickly lock in a Jack vote, this was complicated by Jack, Colin and Aidan all coming together with the aim of getting out Tyler, feeling like they would all be screwed otherwise. Rebuffed by Dawson, Aidan tried to bring Kristine in on the plan, but while he left their conversation feeling like she would flip, Kristine did not and voted for Jack. With a 3-3 tie between Tyler and Jack, there was a revote.

Colin immediately locked in his revote for Tyler, stating he was ready for rocks. Aidan and Dawson worked to try and convince the other to flip, while Kristine - immune - was in less danger than the two of them. As his final play, Aidan promised Kristine and Dawson that he wanted to go to F3 with them, right in front of everyone else, and that if they flipped on Tyler he would happily vote out Jack and Colin after that. With Aidan pleading for them to flip, and Tyler warning them that if they did they would be next, Kristine was very torn. Either way, she would be going against someone she'd been close with for basically the whole game. After stating that she would flip if Dawson wanted to, wanting to stick with him no matter the decision. In the end, Dawson decided he would rather trust Aidan's word than risk his game on rocks, and flipped his vote to Tyler. Kristine, not having the heart to do the same, kept her vote on Jack, and Tyler was eliminated 3-1.

At F5, while she had complete trust in Dawson, Kristine was still worried about Aidan, though she wanted to be able to trust him fully. The challenge was Season Trivia, and this ended up being a two horse race between Kristine and Jack, with none of the other anywhere close. Jack ended up pulling out a close victory, leaving Colin as the target. With Aidan legit in wanting to go to the end with Kristine and Dawson, it looked like Colin would be eliminated 3-2, and Kristine and Dawson both voted for him, with Aidan delaying as he had to wait until the other two decided on a name that he would pretend to go with.

However, it took a long time for the trio of Aidan, Jack and Colin to land on a name to vote for (eventually deciding on Dawson, who Aidan voted for). All this time gave Kristine and Dawson plenty of time to worry about Aidan betraying them, and feeling like Aidan having all the power at this vote should be changed, Dawson went to Colin to suggest a plan to vote Aidan out right then and there. While conversations between the two duos earlier in the cycle hadn't gone anywhere, this one did, with the thought of Aidan holding their fates in his hands, and Dawson revealing info that he only could have heard from Aidan, leaving Colin feeling like he had to go. He got Jack on board, and Jack and Dawson switched their votes to Aidan seconds before Colin submitted. While Dawson messaged Kristine telling her to change her vote to Aidan, but when she went to do so was when the votes locked, leaving hers on Colin. This did not change the outcome though, as Aidan was eliminated 3-2.

This left two strong duos at F4, though Kristine and Dawson did not know that Jack and Colin were as tight as they were. The final immunity challenge was Asterisks, and both Dawson and Colin were eliminated mere minutes in, leaving Kristine and Jack battling it out for immunity for the second straight cycle. This time though, it was Kristine who pulled out the massive win, outlasting Jack to win immunity and book her spot at FTC after over five hours. With she and Dawson feeling that Jack was a bigger FTC threat than Colin they voted for him, but while they felt Colin would vote for Jack too, he had promised to give Jack firemaking if necessary, and so he voted for Dawson, causing a 2-2 tie. Kristine gave Dawson the advice of taking a shot before doing the jigsaw to try and steady himself, which he did, and he beat Jack with a time right around 20 minutes to make it to FTC.

Going up against Dawson and Colin, most of the jury entered FTC favouring Kristine, as she had been in power for the whole game and was seen as driving the action much more than the other two. While her fellow finalists (especially Dawson) did their best to put up a fight, Kristine's strong social play and ability to make it to FTC with a big threat level while not facing much heat until the end left her as a deserving winner in a 7-2-1 final vote. She received FTC votes from Aidan, Tyler, Logan, Mason, Sarah, Adam and Shannon.

## Season 1 Character Ranking

***5: Kristine (1st place)***

*Kristine is honestly the biggest sweetheart on the planet, and her care for just everyone in the cast makes it impossible to dislike her. There's a reason she was involved in everyone's plans for the postmerge, its because her social game is unrivaled by anybody else in the cast, and it made for a great character arc to watch her genuinely feel for others and struggle to pull the trigger when she needed to post merge. Her and Dawson made for a wonderful duo to watch, and their care and teamwork with one another gave the season some much needed wholesomeness. She's a fantastic winner and a fantastic character.*
