Lisa Hamant

Lisa Hamant was the 12th place contestant from Survivor: Time & Change - Buckeye Battles. She is a former production crew member for Our Honor Defend through Winter's Cold. She is also the winner of the first unofficial Survivor: Time & Change summer season - Summer's Heat.

Lisa was a member of the original Merah tribe, and although on the outs of the core alliance of the tribe, she managed to vote on the right side of the numbers early on in the game, helping to blindside Emma Shirley and Hannah Rensko. However, her loyalty was always a topic of speculation by many within the pre-merge Merah tribe and thus her fellow tribe members began to distrust her going into the swap stage of the game.

At the swap, Lisa ended up pulling a Merah buff and was placed on a tribe with the three Kelabu girls remaining in the game as well as Max Gentile and Elizabeth Tzagournis. Lisa was labeled by the Three Queens alliance of Allie Donohue, Kelsey McCaffrey and Muriel Ossip as the most likely to flip to their side to help eliminate a Merah member and avoid a tie - they were correct, as Lisa helped vote out Elizabeth in the subsequent tribal council ceremony.

Despite her willingness to work with the Kelabu girls, Lisa found herself at the bottom of the girls and decided to re-aligned herself with Max. Max was able to look past Lisa's betrayal of Elizabeth and collaborated with her on a plan to eliminate Muriel from the game using his idol. However, upon telling Andrew Schulman about his idol, the girls redirected their votes from Max to Lisa in an attempt to flush his idol and still eliminate a Merah member, in which Lisa was promptly eliminated from the game.

## Biography

In my friend group, I’m the loud, energetic one, who is constantly curious and constantly questioning, while also remembering specific details. If a friend is telling a story, I’m the one who will remember the name of their childhood best friend the story is about, and will remind the others who this person is when they ask. This memory allows me to be very analytical, because I can utilize each piece of information I have stored to properly assess a situation. In the same way, I think my memory is one reason why my passion for languages has developed. I’m easily able to remember grammatical concepts and apply them to both Spanish and Chinese.
