Isabella

***Isabella*** is a contestant from *Survivor: Myanmar*. She is mainly remembered for being targeted for her lack of work ethic around camp and humorously poor challenge performances, as well as causing conflict with Camryn that spiraled out of control due to a misinterpretation of her words, putting a wedge in their duo-that-could-have-been and leading to a very tight vote that ultimately came to be her own demise.

## Profile

**One major goal you have (besides winning):** Merge. Please. I just want to make it to the merge.

**One potential hindrance to your game:** I'm... kind of quirky. I'm not like a lot of other people. I'll probably stick out against everyone else because of that, and not in a good way either.

**Tribe Designation:**
Pyin Sa

Isabella originally started the game out on Pyin Sa, Just a few minutes after the game began, a reward challenge was held for flint. Pyin Sa lost this challenge, and upon returning to camp, Sam did not take the loss very well, and his antics that came to be as a result of his poor sportsmanship slowly derailed this tribe, resulting in a largely unfinished shelter by the end of the first day.

Early in the game, Isabella formed a bond with Matthew, due to believing themselves and Sam were the three people in the minority of the Pyin Sa Tribe. However, Matthew did not agree that the other seven were a majority, planting an immediate seed of distrust in Isabella's mind. Even worse for Isabella, but unbeknownst to herself, Alexa, Adora, and Mia formed a trio together, and discussed together if it would be a good idea to eliminate Isabella instead of Sam, due to her poor work ethic. However, after losing the first immunity challenge, everybody on the tribe put any potential differences aside to unanimously vote Sam out of the game. As Sam left tribal council, he made a passing comment that Camryn threw out Isabella's name to him, which was a massive cause for concern to Isabella.

That night, Isabella and Camryn talked about the comment Sam made, and Camryn came clean and admitted that not only did she throw Isabella's name out, but so did the other girls. Isabella, out of paranoia, mistakenly believed this to be an attempt to pit Isabella against the other Pyin Sa women, all of whom she trusted. From that point on, Isabella formed a rivalry against Camryn, one which got exponentially worse following a fight that occurred when Camryn dropped a machete on Night 4 and almost hit Isabella's ankle.

Pyin Sa went on to lose the Day 5 Reward Challenge, marking their third loss in a row, demoralizing the entire tribe, but also causing them to get more strategic with the expectation of having to attend another tribal council very soon. Brandon, Eyal, and Rallin all ended up becoming very dependent on Isabella strategically, due to believing they were in the minority and viewing Isabella as a potential bridge between themselves and possible openings to stay in the game due to her self-proclaimed alliance with Alexa, Adora, and Mia. Isabella even agreed to include Matthew in the Camryn vote, which theoretically would make such a vote another unanimous elimination. However, Pyin Sa secured its first ever challenge victory on Day 6, keeping Isabella immune from tribal council and allowing the conflicts surrounding her both strategically and personally to live on for a few more days. However, this ill-timed immunity challenge victory only paused the rivalry between Isabella and Camryn, and Isabella continued to push out Camryn's name, believing she had a unanimous vote in the works.

Pyin Sa picked their losing streak back up and lost the next two challenges, including the Day 8 Immunity Challenge, sending Pyin Sa to their second tribal council. Isabella confirmed with Brandon, Eyal, and Rallin that the vote would be Camryn, but Matthew, who was the necessary fifth vote for either side at this point, was remaining vague about his intentions.

Matthew took all the way up until he reached the voting booth to finally make a decision about which side he wanted to stick with. He decided to vote Isabella, remembering previous conflicts she had with Camryn and feeling like that made Camryn more deserving to stay in the game. That vote tipped the entire tribal council against Isabella, and she was blindsided in a 5-4 vote.
