Day 4, finds something in common with Kat Heuser. Day 12, forms alliance with Ajay Mehra, Arlette Alcock, Clara Wesson and Kat, they decide to split the vote between Frankie Jimenez and Mike Merryman in case one of them has the Hidden Immunity Idol. They don't realize it was all a ploy for Ajay to vote out Arlette and the plan works, HOWEVER, it was a *Mock Tribal Council* and they voted Arlette to Kagaba instead. Day 14, Neda was targeted by Madeleine Allakariallak, but it was the *Villains* who banded together to vote for out former *Winner* and new tribemate, Madeleine. Day 21, bonds strongly with Kat.

Day 23, Neda is impressing the tribe. Neda's ally, Kat, targets Kyle and they vote for Kyle. But at Tribal Council, Mike surprises the tribe by using a *Hidden Immunity Idol* to negate any votes on his fellow *Villain* Kat, she would receive 5 votes and Kyle would get 4, shockingly sending Kyle home. Day 27, bonds slightly with Kat Heuser and her alliance with Ajay Mehra and Kat agree to vote for Charlotte Murray, unfortunately Ajay is the Hero target and he's voted out 5-3.

Day 31, Kat & Neda form a short-term allegiance with Charlotte & Harrison to vote out Frankie. Day 33, her and Kat team up with the *Heroes* to vote out the strongest *Winner*, Jonathan Cheechoo. Day 35, Neda & Kat flip on Harry to put the majority of the votes on him. However, at Tribal Council, Harry uses a Hidden Immunity Idol to negate the 6 votes cast against him and his alliance sends home another *Winner*, Huma Mansour.

Day 37, after failing last round, Neda and Kat take another shot at Harry and although they needed a revote, they succeed in sending Harry to the jury. Day 39, finishes in the bottom 4 of the Immunity Challenge and is sent to Exile Island, with Barth Wise, Charlotte Murray & Mike Merryman. Day 39, feeling that Wab Kinew is a challenge threat, she gets Kat Heuser on board, along with two other alliances - Carmeno Atwood & Charlotte and Harrison Davison & Mike. At Tribal Council, Mike would turn on his own ally (Harrison) and vote for him, but Neda secured enough votes to send Wab to jury, 5-4-1. Day 41, is impressing the tribe and bonds strongly with Harrison Davison. At Tribal Council, Neda votes for Barth, but he uses his *Hidden Immunity Idol* and negates 3 votes (which would have been a tie vote) and sends Carmeno to jury.

Day 43, bonds strongly with Madeeha Rattani. Neda & Kat agree to vote out Mike, but Kat changed her vote at the urn to Madeeha, but votes for Mike in the revote and he's sent to the jury, 5-1. Day 45, bonds strongly with Madeeha. Neda & Kat feeling on the outs, are speaking to Selma Alho and they uncover that her target is Harrison and they agree to cast that vote. At Tribal Council, Charlotte feeling unheard, flips her vote and the 4 of them send Harrison to the jury. Day 47, sent to Exile Island, along with Charlotte Murray and Kat Heuser.

Day 49, although she wants to send Charlotte home, Neda hears that her close ally is on the outs, she plays her Hidden Immunity Idol to negate 3 votes and both Neda & Kat instead vote out the strongest competitor and final man in the game, Barth Wise. Day 51, is impressing the tribe and sets her sights on voting out Charlotte. Neda & Kat are always going to vote together (especially after last Tribals save), Neda gets Selma to turn on her ally (Madeeha) and she secures 3 votes for Charlotte, however, Charlotte shocks her when she plays a Hidden Immunity Idol and finally sends Kat to the jury. Day 53, Madeeha & Selma are locked in to vote out Charlotte and Charlotte is locked in to vote for Madeeha, Neda was stuck with the choice to force a tie or vote out Charlotte. In the end, she felt that Charlotte had the best resume for the Final Tribal Council and Neda sent her home. Day 54, Neda wins a second and the Final Immunity Challenge and was forced to choose between two former *Winners*. At Tribal Council, she would choose to bring her closer ally, Madeeha Rattani to the Final Tribal Council and send Selma Alho to the jury.

At Final Tribal Council, the Jury celebrated Neda's game - she played incredible in *Greece* and was 1 vote away from the final and then she played an even better game in *All-Stars - Solomon Islands*. The Jury would reward her with the victory in a lopsided 7-2 vote.
