Angelina Grimaldi

**Angelina Grimaldi** is a contestant from *Survivor: South Africa* and *Survivor: All-Stars*.

On *South Africa*, Angelina's ability to form tight bonds and alliances early on in the game proved Angelina to be a front-runner. Despite not always succeeding in challenges, Angelina's hardworking nature, and ability to find cracks within alliances allowed her to turn many pre-merge votes around; for example, to take Lisa Mathis and Ryan Wald out of the game. Once at the merge, many of the Kubu members were being picked off, but Angelina created close bonds with Tatyana Kuzmina, Yau Ayuba, and Alexis Thorpe, and she aligned with them to slowly influence them to keep her around in the game. Angelina's social game is regarded as an extremely strong one, because she always seemed to be at a high rung during her time on *South Africa*. Once Angelina reached the Final Two, she owned her game and explained how her social game was really strong. Despite Angelina's strong game, the jury felt Tatyana's game edged hers out, leading to Angelina's finish as the Runner-Up.

Angelina returned to compete on *All-Stars*, using her charm to flirt with a lot of the guys on her tribe and build strong relationships to propel her forward in the game. Keeping up with her strong gameplay on *South Africa*, Angelina was in on many important votes pre-merge, including the elimination of former winners Omari Gentry and Keith Trager. At the merge, Angelina and her strongest ally Ta'Kia Robinson formed a memorable, tight alliance to get Natasha Brown out, which took five votes and was successful. Along with Ta'Kia, Angelina's luck ran out when the power shifted far into the merge, ending up in the minority alliance with Ta'Kia and Adam Brower. Ultimately, with Angelina being on the wrong side, she fell victim to the final three alliance between Brad Hargrave, Danielle Douglas and Irene Wong at the final five.
