Aida is a contestant from *Survivor: The Australian Outback*, *Survivor: China*, *Survivor: Cagayan*, *Survivor: Tocantins* and *Survivor: One World*.

She later appeared as a mentor during *Survivor: Island of the Idols* on Day 17, where she was exiled with Emma.

## Survivor: The Australian Outback

Aida began *Survivor: The Australian Outback* originally on the green Ogakor tribe. They were lucky enough to win the first two immunity challenges. It was clear early in the game that Cherry and Shawna formed their own alliance. When they lost the first two immunity challenges, Cherry and Shawna were voted out by Aida and the other castaways. When they lost the third time, Princeton was voted out for his strong ability in challenges.

At this point, Aida made the merge. The Kucha and Ogakor Alliance each had 5 members. Despite conspiring and deals, neither alliance budged. A tie occurred between Aida and Miles and did not change at the revote. This meant that a rock drawing tie-breaker occurred, with the person holding the odd rock being eliminated. Johanna had the odd rock and was voted out. At the next tribal council, with a minority alliance, Aida was voted out and became the first member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, she voted for Winston to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: China

Aida then returned for *Survivor: China* originally on the gold Zhan Hu tribe. She continued to align with former Ogakor ally, Jase but they were in conflict with Kucha members Dion and Miles. With a rivalry between Isobel and Virgil as well, Aida and Jase extended their duo to a trio that included Virgil. During this time, Aida found the Zhan Hu idol but she decided to only tell Jase because of their strong friendship. At their first loss, the trio voted for Isobel but the Kucha duo had the numbers and Virgil was voted out. With their ally gone, Aida and Jase joined forces with newbies Caroline and Jade to at least force a tie within the tribe. At their second consecutive loss, the four agreed to vote for Miles. Despite the even split, Isobel flipped to avoid a deadlocked vote and Aida's allies were able to blindside Miles.

After an immunity challenge win, a tribe switch occurred on Day 10. Aida remained on Zhan Hu along with Caroline, Cherry and Dion whilst being joined by Ashleigh, Fawn and Karleigh. Aida reunited with Ashleigh after their Ogakor connection, and she brought along Karleigh whom she aligned with prior to the switch. At their first loss, Aida voted with Caroline for Cherry. This was apart of a split vote plan in case he or Fawn had an idol, as Ashleigh, Dion and Karleigh voted for Fawn. With no idol played, Fawn was eliminated by this *Australian Outback* alliance. Zhan Hu then won the next two immunity challenges they had together.

At this point, Aida made the merge with her original and switched alliances. This led to a majority on nine from fellow *The Australian Outback* allies Ashleigh, Bailey, Bella, Dion, Karleigh, Trey and Winston and Caroline, who she considered her closest ally. The alliance agreed to split the votes between Chord and Jade at their first merged tribal council. Chord played his idol, so it appeared that Jade would be going home. However, the Fei Long Four from Aida's alliance flipped and Caroline was instead blindsided. When word spread that Aida was the next target, she played her idol at the next vote. In response, Aida and her Zhan Hu allies voted for Winston and he was eliminated. Chord then approached Aida's alliance, and they consecutively voted out Trey and Bella with this numbers advantage.

By the Final Eight, Aida felt confident in her alliance of five (with Ashleigh, Chord, Dion and Karleigh) that Bailey would be voted out. At tribal however, Bailey was able to flip Cherry, Chord, Dion and Jade to blindside Aida. She was told her elimination was because she didn't tell Dion about finding the Zhan Hu idol, and he was feeling betrayed. At the Final Tribal Council, she voted for Chord to win the title of Sole Survivor because she was impressed by his perfectly timed flip from her alliance.

## Survivor: Cagayan

For her physical dominance in challenges and strong willpower, Aida was placed on the orange Aparri tribe, labelled the 'Brawn'. The tribe was lucky enough to not have to go to tribal council for the first 11 days. However, when they lost on Day 11, Aida's previous gameplay was deemed as too threatening. She was voted out at tribal council.

## Survivor: Tocantins

Aida began *Survivor: Tocantins* on the black Timbira tribe. She formed an alliance early on with Gabriella, Jenifer and Luisa. When the tribe lost the first four immunity challenges, the foursome and Wyatt voted out Bianca, Jase, Liamm and Bobby Jon. They were then lucky enough to win the next two challenges. For winning the challenges, Aida was sent to Exile Island. At their final loss before the merge, the women stuck together and voted out Wyatt.

At this point, Aida and her alliance made the merge. Since the Jalapao alliance had three extra members, they were able to vote out Gabriella, Jenifer and Luisa whilst blindsiding their original member Bella. As the only Timbira member remaining, Aida knew she had to win the remaining immunity challenges to win the game. Aida was able to win the next three immunity challenges whilst Marina, Hayden and Laura were voted out by the alliance. In a last bid attempt, Aida sent herself to Exile Island in the hopes of finding a Hidden Immunity Idol. When Aida did not win the next immunity challenge, she was voted out and became a member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Aida voted for Joey to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: One World

In her fifth season, Aida competed in *Survivor: One World* with her partner, Adam. She was originally placed on the blue Salani tribe along with the other returning players. Aida found herself in the minority alliance, but had a secret Loved Ones Alliance with Jase because of their pre-existing relationship. Salani won the first two immunity challenges and Aida was saved when Karina was voted out on Day 8. A shocking evacuation from Wednesday meant that Salani continued with the numbers.

At this point, Aida made the tribe switch, moving to the orange Manono tribe along with her original members, Amy, Ashton and Joe. Manono was lucky enough that they only had to go to tribal council once, where the returners voted out Rani. Aida was then able to make the merge with Adam. She continued her alliance with Mickey, Priya and Amy at the first vote by voting for Ashton. This was unsuccessful however, and newbie Josh was voted out. Aida then made an alliance with the pairs, consisting of Joe and his dad Michael, Jase and his partner Alice and herself and Adam. Together, they voted out Jorge. Jase, Aida and their pairs then voted out Ashton, Amy, Priya, Joe, Michael and Mickey.

At the Final Four, the two pairs remained. At tribal council, Aida and Adam voted for Alice whereas Jase and Alice voted for Adam. With a deadlock vote, Alice lost the fire-making tie-breaker and was sent to the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Aida's strong gameplay overall was accepted but was less fluid than Jase's. She was given the title of Runner-Up, earning two of nine jury votes from her alliance of Joe and Michael.
