Abigail is a contestant from *Survivor: Ghost Island*.

## Survivor: Ghost Island

Abigail began *Survivor: Ghost Island* originally on the purple Naviti tribe. As a professional bodybuilder, Abigail grew close to the men on Naviti because she was physically intimidating to the other women. Whilst Naviti won the first two immunity challenges of the season, Abigail was sent to Ghost Island on Day 6 with Tangaroa (affectionately known as 'Big T') but lost the duel. Upon her return, Abigail and Samir formed a tight alliance with Frank and Tito in order to keep their knowledge about the island from the rest of the tribe. When Naviti attended tribal council on Day 9, this alliance of four eliminated Narinder because she was perceived as an easy vote that would prevent targets forming on their backs.

At the Tribe Expansion on Day 10, Abigail stayed on Naviti with Jacob, Krystal, Tito and Vincent whilst being joined by Big T. Abigail and Tito saw Big T, the only OG Malolo, as the crucial swing vote against Jacob, Krystal and Vincent. The pair formed an alliance with Big T after Abigail bonded over their Ghost Island visit and Tito shared knowledge about his Hidden Immunity Idol. Big T's vote became even more important when Naviti lost their first challenge on Day 14 because Vincent was sent to Ghost Island. Abigail and Tito's relationship building ensured that Big T would vote with them at tribal council, where Krystal was voted out. When Naviti lost again, the trio stayed united and Vincent was voted out. When the tribes merged on Day 20, Abigail and Tito were reunited with Frank and Samir. The alliance grew in numbers when Samir shared he was close with Tariq whilst Abigail and Tito brought Big T to their side. The four original Naviti Alliance members decided they should vote for Luna at the first merged tribal council but Big T was voted out when she played an idol.

The Final Twelve castaways were then split into two teams as part of a Double Elimination twist on Day 25. Abigail was placed on the orange team with Angela, Jacob, Joyce, Luna and Trisha, where it seemed she would be voted out as the only Naviti Alliance member. She tried turning the votes against Joyce, but was spared when Angela, Jacob and Trisha blindsided their ally Luna. The following morning, Frank told Abigail that he found an idol but had to share half with another player for 24 hours to activate its full power. He shared half with Abigail, who had no reservations about one of her closest allies, and returned the idol to him after 24 hours. The Naviti Alliance wanted to vote for Trisha at the Final Ten because they felt she was the leader of the Malolo Alliance, but they lost the numbers when Tariq used his Extra Vote and worked with the original Malolo players to eliminate Joyce. Abigail, Frank and Tito were in the search for new allies because they started to believe Samir and Tariq were unreliable. They focused on Reed, who seemed like the Malolo player with the least connections. This new group of four had the numbers over the broken Malolo Alliance, where they eliminated outsider Jacob. However, the Naviti trio then turned to Angela and Trisha for their own survival after noticing Reed was bonding with Samir and Tariq. At tribal council, Abigail voted with this voting bloc of five to blindside Tariq.

Despite their downward trajectory the last few tribal councils, Abigail, Frank and Tito managed to maintain their alliance until the Final Seven. However, with Samir an unreliable alliance member, they were left in a precarious position. Luckily for them, Frank played an idol to save himself and Angela was voted out with the only three votes that counted from the Naviti Alliance. Angela's elimination broke the foundations of the Malolo Alliance, which gave power to Abigail and the rest of the Naviti Alliance. The trio had the numbers at tribal council, and Reed was voted out. With only five players remaining, Abigail, Frank and Tito promised each other a spot in the Final Three but were unsure whether to keep Trisha or Samir longer. They convinced Samir to vote with them to eliminate Trisha, who was considered the biggest jury threat left in the game. When Samir failed to win the final individual immunity challenge, Abigail, Frank and Tito honoured their alliance and he was made the final member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Abigail focused on her physical game and unwavering loyalty to the Naviti Alliance. She highlighted the fact she won three individual immunity challenges, including the last two challenges of the season, and only received two votes against her at her first tribal council on Day 9. However, the jury perceived her as a strategic non-entity who only relied on Big T, Frank and Tito, who had far superior social games. In the end, Abigail became the Second Runner-Up after earning zero of ten jury votes.
