Lina is a contestant from *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur*, *Survivor: Gabon* and *Survivor: Cagayan*.

She later returned as one of the sixteen veteran *Survivor* castaways as a housemate on Big Brother 1. Lina was evicted third on Day 23, finishing in 14th place.

## Survivor: San Juan Del Sur

Lina began *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur* on the blue Hunahpu tribe. At their first loss, David was voted out unanimously for his poor work ethic, poor challenge ability and poor social skills. After their first loss, Lina was put in the minority alliance (which they titled the Outsider Alliance) with Richard and Penny for not being apart of the popular athletic group.

At this point, a tribe switch occurred and Lina stayed on Hunahpu with original members Penny, Aisha and Travis. Hoping to not be outdone by the original Coyopa tribe, Penny, Travis, Aisha and Lina formed their alliance in the hopes of bringing in an outsider. Domenic joined their group and blindsided his friend Erinn when Hunahpu lost. Domenic turned on the alliance when they lost the second time, sending Penny home.

At this point, the tribes merged. The post-switch Coyopa tribe were the first targets, causing the eliminations of Leo, Katrina and Marina. At the next tribal council, the post-switch Huyopa tribe were too disorganised and they split apart. Travis was voted out first from that alliance for being too threatening. The other Coyopa members, Ryan and Joel were voted out.

With Priya as the only post-switch Coyopa left and winning immunity. This meant the Hunahpu alliance had to turn on each other. Lina was the first casualty for not having strong enough bonds and was voted out.At the Final Tribal Council, she voted for Aisha to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Gabon

Lina competed again in *Survivor: Gabon* originally on the red Fang tribe. She continued her outsider alliance with Penny and Richard from the previous season. Though they were in the minority in the beginning, the trio gained power when Cody and Montana flipped to eliminate Cat. The alliance then intended on targeting Skye, but Lina was concerned when Cody considered flipping on them. At their second loss, Lina and her alliance still had the numbers to blindside Cody. A miscommunication with the majority of four meant that Montana was voted out when the votes were split between Ryan and Skye. Despite their allies falling like flies, Lina's alliance was able to bring in Skye to eliminate Lawson.

At the tribe switch, Lina remained on Fang along with her allies Penny and Richard. Their games were in the hands of the original Kota members who held the majority, though Priya felt uncomfortable in that alliance and flipped to Lina's group to eliminate Tison. This was only temporary however, as the tribe was divided along original tribal lines at their sixth consecutive loss. After a tie occurred between Richard and Travis, Lina and Penny flipped to avoid going to rocks and Richard was voted out. Lina, Penny and Priya remained in power and voted out Travis at their next loss.

In a shocking twist, a second tribe switch occurred where Lina remained on Fang with Penny whilst being joined by Domenic, Erinn and Thomas from Kota. To ensure they would make the merge, Lina and Penny tried to expose a crack within the Kota originals. This was difficult and it appeared the girls would be voted out, but Fang luckily won the two immunity challenges they held together. At the Final Eight, Lina made the merge where she was approached by Vanessa. Penny and Lina readily agreed to align against Domenic because of his leadership on the Fang tribe, and he was finally voted out. Penny and Lina's next target was Skye and they voted for her at tribal council, but Vanessa's new alliance split and Penny was their first target followed shortly by Lina. At the Final Tribal Council, she voted for Skye to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Cagayan

Lina returned to *Survivor: Cagayan*. She was placed on the green Luzon tribe, labelled a brain for her high intelligence and book smarts. At the first Tribal Councils for the Brains, Lina was able to make bonds and voted with the majority in sending home Richard and Spencer. At the tribe switch, Lina was placed on the purple Solana tribe with original members Catherine and Tison. At their first loss, Ryder was voted out. Fearful of joining the other alliance in the Aparri tribe, Lina was considered for the vote and sent home when Solana lost the second time.

## Big Brother 1

In November 2020, *Survivor* veteran Lina competed on Big Brother 1. As part of the Backwards Week Twist, Lina nominated Cherry and Gabriel for the first eviction. However, Lina was nominated because of her pre-existing *Survivor* relationships with Priya and Richard from the Outsider Alliance. Luckily for Lina, her ally Richard won the HOH competition and Gabriel was evicted. In Week 2, Lina was safe because Peighton nominated the other pre-existing relationship of Bella and Cherry. The target was Cherry, but Lina was one of the housemates to flip the votes against Bella. In Week 3, Priya won the Time Warp Competition and decided to share immunity with Richard. This worried Lina because it left her as the only vulnerable member of her core alliance. After Alana used the POV on Peighton, HOH Ricardo nominated Lina. Ultimately, Lina was evicted on Day 23 because she was a member of the Outsider Alliance.
