**Kathy Moritz** was a contestant on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Survivor: One World, Survivor: Blood vs. Water: Redemption Island, and Survivor: Legends.

Known for her fierce gameplay, Kathy was able to control the outcome of many votes, even when she was playing from the bottom. Kathy is even more notable for her on-again, off-again alliance with Christian, who would be blindsided right before she would be taken out in their first two attempts. However, their third run would give them much control over their tribe before a tribe swap, an injury, and a continuous losing streak would end her game prematurely.

## Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains

Kathy would be shocked to learn that she would not be starting the game with just the Villains, but that she would be mixed with some of the Heroes as well on the Azul Tribe. Kathy would get immediate connections from both the *Darlington Alliance*, consisting of Michael, Elizabeth, Bri, and Kaleb, and *The Inner Circle Alliance* consisting of her boyfriend Nathan, Jake, and Dion. Despite their loss at the first immunity challenge, Kathy still maintained all of the control, as she had the power to choose between voting off Dion with the Darlington Alliance, or voting off Elizabeth with the guys alliance. She chose to take out Dion, seeing him as a threat later down the line due to his connections on the Rojo Tribe. The Azul Tribe would then win the next immunity challenge, which would help keep her safe until the swap.

Kathy would be swapped into the Villains Tribe, where they would have an easy time as they took out Michael almost immediately due to his strategic game and his connections to the other tribe. Kathy would help the Villains win the next immunity challenge, and she would be safe another round and she would even find a hidden immunity idol. After they lost the fifth immunity challenge, Kathy and the other guys had an easy vote. They would take out Elizabeth in a 5-1 vote and guarantee themselves to make it to the merge.

Once the merge began, Kathy would begin her hard journey in the game. Firstly, the others started to question her having the idol, and when Christian forced the information out of her about her having the idol, the others became aware. However, it was not enough to solidify her as the main target, as she would help the others take out Conner in a 10-1 vote. After losing individual immunity again, some people had attempted to put a target on Kathy's back because of the idol, and others attempted to work around her idol to get other bigger threats out of the game. However, Kathy would remain safe, as she would help to spearhead multiple campaigns to get Bri out of the game for being one of the bigger strategic threats at the time. After Bri was voted out, it was revealed that they would have to vote out another person with only five minutes to strategize. Kathy would help formulate a plan to get rid of Bailey to keep herself safe and not waste the idol, and she helped secure Bailey's eliminated at that tribal council. After Christian won the next individual immunity challenge, Kathy once again found herself as a big target due to her idol. Kathy would try to set the target on Kyle, due to his gameplay, and she would campaign to Christian and Darius in hopes of saving herself. However, a plan was set into motion for her to waste her idol and for the other votes to be cast onto her boyfriend, Nathan. This plan only succeeded in half of its' goal, and Kathy's idol was still kept in her pocket. However, she lost her closest ally in the game, and Nathan was blindsided in a 5-3 vote. After losing once again to Christian in the next individual immunity challenge, Kathy was approached by JP about the potential to get rid of Cody, as his gameplay was very much threatening to the others. Running low on options and wanting to keep her idol, she considered going with this plan. Kathy would be approached by Jake about the idea of blindsiding Cody, of which she would agree to go with in order to ensure her safety. Hearing no other names before tribal council, Kathy voted Cody, but was surprised to see JP get blindsided. However, her idol still remained with her in the game.

Right after returning from tribal council, Kathy and Christian argued immediately, as they both had told each other they would not vote against the others' groups for that tribal, which they both had. Although Kathy would come close to securing individual immunity, she once again lost to Christian, despite her efforts to make a deal or distract him. However, Kathy was immediately approached by Cody and Christian on the opportunity to blindside Jake, as they still thought he had a hidden immunity idol. Kathy then considered voting Kyle out of the game once he told a couple of people he wanted out of the game. However, at tribal council, Kathy would still cast her vote for Jake, and after a correct hidden immunity idol play on her behalf, she would send Jake out of the game with only three votes cast against him. Kathy would lost the next individual immunity challenge to Cody, but soon after she would find herself being approached about a chance to save herself once again, as Christian became the next big target and she helped to blindside him and get him out of the game. After losing the Final Individual Immunity Challenge to Cody, Kathy became the biggest target due to how she had the best chance of winning the game by that point. Kathy had attempted to talk to Darius about getting Kyle out of the game as he has been wanted out of the game for awhile by that point due to his social game. However, Kathy's game would sadly meet its' end, and she would become the eighth and final member of the jury, placing 4th out of 16th.

At the Final Tribal Council, Kathy asked Cody was going to use his hidden immunity idol to secure Kathy's safety at the Final 5 Tribal Council. She then went on to ask him why he did not bring her to the Final Tribal Council. After hearing everything, Kathy decided to cast her vote for Kyle, as she saw his social game and likable personality as being deserving enough to win the season.

## Survivor: One World

Brought in with her Heroes vs. Villains ally, she and Christian were offered up as a reward for the winning team. Whoever won, got to pick one of them, and the other would go to the losing tribe and would go straight to tribal council. Regardless of where she and Christian went though, they both would be granted individual immunity for themselves only at their first tribal council. When the Beasts Tribe won immunity, Hunter convinced them to pick Christian, and Kathy would be sent to the Masterminds Tribe. Kathy would still be safe however, as the tribe was currently in its' own decision making process on taking out Bailey or Ashley. Kathy would help to take out Ashley in a 5-1 vote. Kathy would get together with her allies from Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Christian, Cody, and Bailey and they attempted to figure out more plans to help the future of their games, Kathy of which gave much input on the targets in the game. The Masterminds Tribe would win immunity thanks to Jack's efforts. Along the way, Kathy would find the "Steal-A-Vote" Advantage, of which she could use to garner an extra vote.

Kathy would be swapped into the Black Team alongside Christian, Cody, Seth, and Sam. They would unfortunately lose the next challenge, and she would start the strategic talks immediately after. Kathy would help campaign for Seth to get out, but she prepared for the eventuality of Sam telling Seth of their plans, and she and the other two would cast their votes for Sam all while telling Sam that it was still Seth. Kathy would be shocked to learn of Seth's two idols, but she would be saved at a very pricy cost, as she lost her best ally Christian due to Seth's rogue vote

Kathy would make the merge, and although she would lose the first individual immunity challenge to Seth, she would get her way with the vote, and Sam would be taken out of the game but Kathy would receive three votes. After she lost the next immunity challenge to Jack and Seth, Kathy would go on the hunt to get Hunter out, and would gain much support along the way. At tribal council, she would finally use her "Steal-A-Vote" Advantage on Hunter, and she would vote Hunter twice. However, Jake would play his hidden immunity idol on Hunter, saving him from a 4-2-1-1 vote. Unfortunately for Kathy, she was the one who got the two votes, each from Jake and Devin, this would signify her fate and the end of her second chance. Kathy would place 8th out of 12th and would become the second member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council; Kathy directed her question to Hunter, asking him if he felt as if his second round in the game was more like Twist Manor, with Jake being Hunter's "Darius" in his second run. Kathy would then vote for Bailey to win the game.

At the *Survivor: One World Reunion Episode*, Kathy mentioned that she would have blindsided Christian over Cody in a heartbeat, and expressed how she knew how much of a threat he was. Kathy then went on to mention that she had called Seth's first individual immunity challenge win before it happened, this prediction having fallen onto deaf ears. Kathy then mentioned that she gave her advantages to Cody, as he was the only one she could trust that was in the game after she knew Devin wrote her name down.

## Survivor: Blood vs. Water: Redemption Island

Kathy's third attempt in the game would start on Tribe Tyson, where she would quickly form an alliance with Christian, Lea, and Vin, and they would rope Jack in as well as an extra number and ally. When they lost the first immunity challenge, she and Christian were very quick to turn on JP, knowing the amount of damage he could do in the game from their experiences in their first run. Together, they would turn the tables on him and they would successfully get him out in a unanimous 6-1 vote. However, things would become harder as their tribe would lose another immunity challenge and would begin their search for the hidden immunity idol. While Kathy did not succeed in finding it, she would be successful at gaining information in the game when her ally, Christian, would inform her that Grant was in possession of the hidden immunity idol. Seeing this as a major threat to her alliance in the future, Kathy helped to vote Grant off of their tribe, sending him to Redemption Island.

When things could not look more bleak for Kathy, they became bleaker when Tribe Tyson lost their third immunity challenge in a row. Down to her four main allies, Kathy saw the threat status in Jack and knew that if they did not attempt to get him out soon that he would find a path to the end. Knowing how good of a strategic player he was and knowing that she would be able to get Lea to vote however they wanted her to, Kathy would campaign to Christian and Vin about getting rid of Jack. At tribal council, her campaigns would be successful, and Jack would be send to Redemption Island in a 4-1 vote with the hopes of him being able to win his way back into the game. During the overnight Tribe Mediation, Corey revealed to her that Cody, who she had planned on recruiting to join her alliance at the merge, had been targeting her on Tribe Natalie. This would greatly upset her and she would reveal in a private confessional that Cody would be getting a similar treatment from her if they met up and "aligned" with each other at the merge. Kathy would further emphasize that even if Jack would win his way back into the game from Redemption Island, she would still not let him go far into the game. However, Breanne would reveal to Christian that Corey told her that he would refuse to work with his brother if Kathy was still aligned with Christian, and she would attempt to put a target on Kathy, putting her in a bad spot at the end of Night 1.

While things started to look up for Kathy when a tribe swap sent her to Tribe Natalie at the beginning of Day 2, they would ultimately come crashing right back down as it had on Night 1 as she continued her losing streak in the game. Seeing an opportunity to get Breanne out, Kathy would seize her chance and would attempt to convince Vin and John to help her get rid of Breanne, and she would have no trouble convincing her boyfriend, Nathan, to do the same. While her tribe was distracted, Kathy would also find the hidden immunity idol. Tribal Council would give her a second success that round, as her tribe would help her vote out Breanne in a 4-1 vote, with a third gift to her game being presented by Lea replacing Breanne's spot in the tribe.

Kathy would not get many more positives to speak of, as an injury would befall her at the next immunity challenge, making herself appear as a liability to her tribe. While she seemed to recover decently back at camp, Vin would recognize how her injury would be a liability if their tribe had more immunity challenges before the merge and would also see her strategic prowess being a threat to his game in the future. With that in mind, it quickly came down to Kathy and her friend, Lea, both fighting for their spot in the game. Unfortunately for her, Kathy would become the fifth person voted out of the game and was sent to battle Breanne at Redemption Island.

On Redemption Island, Kathy would spare no expense on her body, and she would fight in an attempt to win her way back into the game. However, when the times were checked and everything was finished, Kathy unfortunately found out that she had not won her way back into the game, losing by mere seconds to Breanne. Kathy would place 11th out of 14th, just missing the merge and the jury.
