Meaghan Schlossmacher

**Meaghan Schlossmacher** is the Sole Survivor of *All-Stars*. She originally competed on *Edge of Extinction* and *Guild of the Girlies*.

Meaghan was a part of the disastrous Fitu tribe on her debut season, *Edge of Extinction*. She betrayed the girls in her tribe at the first Tribal Council, drawing the attention of Bradley McNabb and Joseph Ales at her next Tribal Council. At her third straight Tribal Council, she and ally Makenzie Kennedy would be betrayed by Cecelia Gutman after Meaghan's attempt to blindside former winner George Stedronsky. She failed to return to the game through the Edge of Extinction.

Meaghan was playing on borrowed time in *Guild of the Girlies*, finding herself on the outside of the major controlling alliance following the first vote of the season. While trying to target Zoey Thomas for her threatening and controlling nature over the game, she would play five rounds on the bottom before her elimination in tenth place.

Meaghan would have a similar start to her previous seasons in *All-Stars*, with her ally Kaley Kolb once again being blindsided by her starting tribe. However, her game would be renewed when she joined the Tavuko tribe at the swap, finding a new alliance in Ryan Hagerty and Thorin Groth. Going into the merge, she would fade as a potential target among the larger threats, comfortably riding with the majority. Following Ryan's blindside, she would join an alliance with Griffin Hallemeier and Pedro Kawamura, leading Thorin's blindside and dictating the rest of the end game. Meaghan had an uphill battle at the Final Tribal Council but displayed an unmatched level of passion and authenticity that resulted in her winning the title of Sole Survivor in an 8-5-3 vote.

## Survivor Winter Park

### Edge of Extinction

Meaghan began the game on the Fitu tribe. After losing the first immunity challenge, Meaghan was set on eliminating Veronica Cabrera-Lopez after she volunteered for elimination. However, a pep talk from host Thorin Groth would send the tribe back into a spiral, with the girls now wanting to target Bradley McNabb instead. Meaghan grew tired of the new strategy and decided to stick with the original plan of targeting Veronica. After losing the next challenge, she would work with Cecelia Gutman and Makenzie Kennedy, along with George Stedronsky, whom she didn't trust, to eliminate Bradley. She received his and Joseph's votes but survived into the next round, where she would begin her plan to target George with the girls. After losing their third straight challenge, she and Makenzie followed through with her plan against George but started to lose Cece to the other guys. In a narrow 3-2 vote, Meaghan was voted out of the game and sent to the Edge of Extinction.

Meaghan stayed on the Edge of Extinction until the merge with former Fitu members Joseph and Makenzie for the return challenge, where she failed to return to the game. She was meant to stay until a second return challenge on Day 3, but had a conflict on that day and was unable to show up, resulting in her elimination.

### Guild of the Girlies

Meaghan began the game on the all-female Ladies tribe. She immediately began working with Cecelia Gutman, Kaley Kolb, and Kristen Paul, intending to target Lydia Yon at their first Tribal Council. She would find herself blindsided when a majority alliance, led by Zoey Thomas, would send Cece out of the game instead. Her and Kaley, her closest ally, turned against Kristen in an act of self-preservation, but Meaghan would once again be blindsided when Kaley was eliminated. The next two rounds would be followed by Meaghan attempting to integrate herself better into the majority of the tribe while still trying to take Zoey out of the game, eliminating both of the Yon twins. However, at the Final 10, Meaghan would once again be blindsided when she was voted out in a near unanimous 8-1-1 vote.

At the Final Tribal Council, Meaghan voted for Kristen, impressed with the game she played to get herself back into the majority, a feat Meaghan herself was unable to accomplish. She voted for Victoria De Notaris to receive second place, seeing her as the more likable finalist between her and Jazlyn Dailey, as Jaz never bothered to work with her.

### All-Stars

Meaghan began the game on the Sigma tribe, once again with her best friend Kaley Kolb. Having a pre-game alliance with her and Jacob Thigpen, as well as Ryan Hagerty and Thorin Groth who were on opposing tribes, she believed herself to be in a fine enough position alongside the other girls on her tribe. Adam Holbrook's constant strategizing and reputation placed him on Meaghan's radar for elimination, where she would get a chance after her tribe's only pre-swap loss. Unbeknownst to her, the rest of the tribe had turned against Kaley, with Jacob deciding to save Meaghan for longevity purposes. Her rage towards her tribe was quenched when the swap occurred immediately after, and she found herself in a much better swap with the remaining three of her pre-game alliance by her side. The double elimination would see a majority form against Davis Hofmann and Reid Walker, with the former casting the only vote against Meaghan she would receive all season. Her tribe would win every challenge after Reid's unanimous elimination until the merge.

Meaghan would earn immunity through Jesse Roldan's *Heroes vs. Villains* Timeline Twister card for the first Tribal Council, drawing the line at voting for her friend Victoria De Notaris by siding with a majority of the girls, despite a majority going after her. She joined the large faction behind Ryan to go after Michael Collins and stayed in the majority for the next three eliminations. It would be at the Final 9 that her game would entirely change, when her new ally Pedro Kawamura would suddenly find himself in danger. While still voting for him, she would be one of many players to warn him to play his Shot in the Dark, incidentally resulting in Ryan's elimination. After this point, she decided to form her Final 3 alliance with Griffin Hallemeier and Pedro, knowing she would have to cut ties with Thorin. At the start of the final day, she wouldn't directly vote out Thorin but was aware of the blindside. Knowing her next three targets, Meaghan and her allies would make their marks against Jacob, Jesse, and Zoey Thomas, with Meaghan getting into a fight with Zoey during her elimination at the Final 6. By the Final 4, the only opponent that stood between her alliance and making the Final 3 was Lyndsey Keith, who had been under the radar for most of the season. After she lost immunity, Meaghan was able to finally secure her spot at the Final Tribal Council.

Meaghan's Final Tribal Council was the defining moment of her *Survivor Winter Park* career, as she attempted to swing many of the pre-merge jury members to her side as they were mostly in the middle. She explained how she had to work from the bottom since the beginning of the game and fell into difficult spots when she had to take out her allies for better navigation towards the end, claiming to have been the reason for Griffin and Pedro to be sitting next to her, all while not needing to win the final immunity. She silenced Cece and Rylee for talking over fellow finalist Griffin and countered Thorin's targeted final speech, impressing a majority of the jury while losing Thorin's vote in the process. Ryan would give a speech directly targeting Pedro and building up Meaghan's game, likely doing more damage to her due to the aggressiveness of the speech. In the end, her speech persuaded a majority of the jury to award her the win, winning by an 8-5-3 vote over Griffin and Pedro.

#### Voting History

**^1** In Round 15, Pedro successfully used his Shot in the Dark, negating Meaghan's vote against him.

**^2** In Round 17, Zoey used a Hidden Immunity Idol, negating Meaghan's vote against her.
