### Cagayan

Sarah was initially placed on the Aparri tribe of Brawns on *Survivor (franchise)*. While in the woods, Sarah interrogated fellow police officer Tony Vlachos, asking if he was a cop. He lied to her, saying no, but Sarah did not believe this as she is also a cop. After some time, Tony decided to tell the truth. They bonded and formed an alliance called "Cops-R-Us". However, Tony lied once again to Sarah, claiming that Cliff Robinson and Lindsey Ogle were gunning for her. Sarah and Tony convinced Trish Hegarty and Woo Hwang to come into their alliance and throw the upcoming Immunity Challenge to vote Cliff out, who would then be followed by Lindsey. At the Immunity Challenge on Day 11, Solana easily came in first place. Despite Sarah, Trish, and Woo attempting to throw the challenge, Cliff single-handedly saved himself by winning the challenge for them, coming in second place, continuing their winning streak, and did not have to attend a Tribal Council. Though she was disappointed that Cliff was still in the game, Sarah showed no remorse for rival tribe Luzon and said they deserved to lose after their terrible performance.

At the tribe switch on Day 12, Sarah was left as the only remaining Brawn still on Aparri, as all her tribemates had been swapped to Solana. On Day 15, Sarah was thrilled when host Jeff Probst told her tribe that Cliff and Lindsey had both been eliminated the night before, Cliff at Tribal Council, and Lindsey quitting afterwards. When the Aparri tribe lost the subsequent Immunity Challenge, Tony yelled "top five!" while celebrating victory with the Solana tribe, which made Sarah feel excluded. At Sarah's first Tribal Council, she joined Brains Kass McQuillen, Spencer Bledsoe, and Tasha Fox, as well as Beauty Morgan McLeod in deciding the fate of the other Beauties, Alexis Maxwell and Jeremiah Wood. They voted Alexis out, fearing she would reconnect with her old allies at the merge.

The tribes merged into the Solarrion tribe on Day 17. Sarah found herself the swing vote between both tribes. At first, Sarah wanted to stick with the Aparri Alliance, but Kass questioned her loyalty, which made Sarah feel insecure. Tony tried to make Sarah swear to side back with his Solana Alliance, though she could not. Kass continued to argue with Sarah, which Trish saw as an opportunity. Kass and Tasha asked Sarah if she was willing to send home Trish or Jefra Bland, which Sarah refused as she would rather target a strong male who could possibly have a Hidden Immunity Idol such as Tony or LJ McKanas. Trish and Tony realized that Sarah was no longer on their side and Trish went to talk to Kass to convince her to go with the Solana Alliance instead. At Tribal Council, the new Aparri voted for Jefra, while all of the new Solana voted for Sarah. Kass flipped on her alliance and voted for Sarah, sending her home as the first jury member and in 11th place.

At the Final Tribal Council, Sarah congratulated the finalists. Sarah called out Tony for breaking their promise to not vote each other out. Sarah then asked Woo if he would vote for her if she played the same game as Tony did. Woo said if she did it without the idols, he would vote for her. Despite liking Woo and being angry with Tony, Sarah voted for the latter to become the Sole Survivor, contributing to his victory in an 8-1 vote.

### Game Changers

Sarah was initially placed on the Nuku tribe, where she aligned with Cirie Fields. However, many other Nuku members were targeting Cirie and Sarah and were willing to go along with that plan if they lost. However, because Nuku won the first two challenges, they did not go to Tribal Council. After a Tribe Switch on Day 7, she, along with fellow Nuku members Cirie, Andrea Boehlke, Ozzy Lusth and Zeke Smith, along with original Mana member Troyzan Robertson, was switched to the newly formed third tribe, Tavua. There, Sarah aligned with outsider Troyzan, but Tavua did not go to Tribal Council due to strong performances at the next three Immunity Challenges.

After Tavua was dissolved at a second switch on Day 14, she, along with Andrea, Ozzy, Zeke, and Tai Trang, was switched back to Nuku, where they were joined by Jeff Varner and Sandra Diaz-Twine. After Nuku lost the Immunity Challenge on Day 16, Sarah voted with the majority at Tribal Council, resulting in Sandra's elimination and Debbie Wanner joining the tribe after returning from Exile Island. After Nuku lost immunity again on Day 18, Jeff outed Zeke for being transgender at the subsequent Tribal Council, hoping to paint him as being capable of deception. Sarah tearfully accused Jeff of making a malicious attack, and expressed her support for Zeke. She then joined the rest of the tribe in verbally voting out Jeff.

Once the tribes merged into the Maku Maku tribe on Day 19, Sarah joined the Tavua Alliance led by Andrea and Cirie. However, she also formed strong bonds with the rival Power Six alliance, led by Brad Culpepper and Sierra Dawn Thomas, and joined them to eliminate Hali Ford at the first post-merge Tribal Council. On Day 24, Sarah found herself the swing vote between the two alliances. Andrea and Cirie wanted to vote out Zeke for betraying the Tavua Alliance, while Debbie attempted to recruit Sarah to join the Power Six to eliminate challenge threat Ozzy. At Tribal Council, Sarah joined the Power Six to blindside Ozzy with the added insurance of Debbie's Extra Vote.

On Day 25, Sarah managed to retrieve the Vote Steal advantage, which was placed under the sit-out bench at a Reward Challenge. Although Sarah competed in the challenge, she noticed the advantage while Michaela Bradshaw, who was sitting out, did not. Before boarding the boat to leave the challenge, Sarah managed to grab the advantage without her tribemates noticing. After the next Immunity Challenge, the Power Six targeted Andrea, though Sarah felt excluded from the decision and conspired with Zeke. However, Sarah reconsidered after Sierra proposed a final three deal with her and Debbie. Later, Debbie told Aubry Bracco that Sarah did not trust her. Aubry informed Sarah and the rest of her alliance of this, which made Sarah flip to the Tavua Alliance to blindside Debbie.

Sarah later revealed her Vote Steal advantage to Cirie in order to secure her trust. After Andrea won the next Immunity Challenge, she campaigned to eliminate Zeke for continuously plotting against the Tavua Alliance. This worried Sarah and Michaela, as they were afraid that this would allow the remnants of the Power Six to later regain the majority. However, both Sarah and Michaela joined their alliance in blindsiding Zeke at Tribal Council. The following day, Sarah tearfully reunited with her husband, Wyatt, at the Loved Ones Challenge. Though the team of Aubry, Andrea, and Brad won, Sarah and Cirie were chosen to join them on the reward, along with their loved ones. Following this, Sierra told Sarah about the Legacy Advantage she acquired at the marooning, stating that if she were to be voted out, she would will the advantage to her. As a result of this information, Sarah orchestrated Sierra's elimination, feigning expressions of shock after the votes were read. Unaware that Sarah had participated in her blindside, Sierra willed Sarah the Legacy Advantage, which appeared in her bag the following morning.

Prior to Tribal Council on Day 35, Sarah gave her Vote Steal advantage to Cirie as a sign of trust. In order to save Sarah from Tai's plan to eliminate her, Cirie tried to play the advantage at Tribal Council. However, it was then revealed that the advantage was non-transferable, and could only be played by the person who found it. Sarah asked for the advantage back and subsequently played it, negating Tai's vote and putting two votes on Michaela, one of Cirie's closest allies. Brad and Troyzan voted for Michaela as well, resulting in her elimination. After returning from Tribal Council, Sarah confronted Cirie for attempting to use the advantage without discussing her plan beforehand, and Cirie told her that she did so only because Sarah did not believe that Tai was coming after her. After finding out from Tai himself about his plan to vote her out, Sarah apologized to Cirie and rebuked Tai for backstabbing her.

The following day, Brad won immunity and chose to share the reward with Sarah and Troyzan. On the reward, the three agreed to target Tai. At Tribal Council, Sarah played the Legacy Advantage, which negated the three votes cast against her, Tai played a Hidden Immunity Idol on himself and Aubry, and Troyzan played an idol on himself, leaving Cirie as the only non-immune person, causing her to be eliminated by default. On Day 37, Sarah and Tai were caught in the middle of the duo of Brad and Troyzan who were targeting Aubry, and Aubry who was targeting Troyzan. Both Sarah and Tai ended up siding with Brad and Troyzan, leading to Aubry's unanimous elimination. On Day 38, Brad and Troyzan targeted Tai, while Tai targeted Troyzan, leaving Sarah as the swing vote. Tai tried to persuade Sarah to force a tie and allow him to compete against Troyzan in a fire-making challenge, but Sarah ultimately sided with Brad and Troyzan and Tai was unanimously voted out.

Sarah received a mixed reception at the Final Tribal Council. She was lauded for her strategic control and social flexibility, but condemned for using social relationships for strategic gain and her numerous betrayals. Sarah's strategic control throughout the post-merge phase beat out Brad's dominance in Immunity Challenges and Troyzan's lack of evident gameplay and she was awarded the title of Sole Survivor in a 7-3-0 vote.

### Winners at War

Sarah was initially placed on the Dakal tribe alongside her *Cagayan* castmate Tony. Sarah became a part of a seven-person coalition against the perceived "Poker Alliance" of Tyson, Amber and Kim. In the early days, she and Tony reformed their Cops-R-Us, with Tony assisting her on Night 8 to retrieve a Vote Steal advantage from the rival Sele camp. When Dakal went to their two tribal councils, Sarah helped her coalition vote out Amber and Tyson

On Day 12, Sarah and fellow Dakal Sophie were swapped to the new Yara tribe, and were outnumbered 3-2 by original Sele's Rob, Adam and Ben. Sophie found a Hidden Immunity Idol and gave one half of the idol to Sarah, as she needed to give half to another player until sundown in order for the idol to be activated. Yara lost immunity on Day 14. At camp, Sarah was angry at Rob for implementing the buddy system. Sarah gave the idol back to Sophie and wondered if she should play her advantage. At tribal council, Sarah and Sophie didn't play their advantages and Adam and Ben joined them in blindsiding Rob, though Sarah received a vote from Rob. Yara won the remaining two challenges. keeping Sarah safe from tribal council.

At the merge, Sarah became apart of Tony's coalition of big threats. She contributed to Wendell's elimination at the merged tribal council. While Sarah's team won the next Reward Challenge, Sarah decided to give her spot to Nick, as it was his birthday the day before and he had gotten blindsided by the last vote. However, her moved wasn't met with well reception, as Denise and Jeremy believed her decision was strategic, Tony told her she made a bad move, and Nick considered voting her out. After finding out from Tyson that Adam was gunning for her on Day 23, Sarah targeted him. Adam was voted out at tribal council.

On Day 24, Sarah met her husband Wyatt and son at the family visit. The next day, Sarah and Tony argued who to target, as Tony wanted Tyson out, while Sarah wanted Kim out for being too dangerous. However, she agreed to target Jeremy after Tony told her he was coming for her. Sophie asked Sarah if she would use her Vote Steal before going to Tribal Council, but Sarah was not sure if she would. After Jeremy used his Safety Without Power advantage to leave Tribal Council, Sarah stole Denise's vote and split her two votes between Denise and Tyson, and Tyson was blindsided.

On the morning of Day 26, Sarah, wanting to show everyone that she was fun, had a fashion show, but was upset when Tony refused to participate. That night, Sarah was shocked when Tony blindsided Sophie. Returning from tribal council, she angrily told Tony that she was done with him, but soon calmed down and warned him that she would never speak to him again if he blindsided her again. The following morning Sarah approached a tree that Tony was using to spy on people (Spy nest) and told him it was only her. On Day 29, Sarah was persuaded by Tony to blindside Kim. At tribal council, Sarah got a sense that she was in trouble. After the votes were cast, Tony openly offered to play his idol for Sarah, but she told him she didn't need it. Kim was blindsided.

On Day 34, Sarah was skeptical of Nick's loyalty, but Nick sided with her at tribal council, and Jeremy was blindsided. The following day, Michele told Sarah she had no not at beating Tony in the end, but Sarah knew that Michele was just trying to stir the pot, notified Tony. Sarah wanted Michele out for being unpredictable, but the plan was ruined when Michele won immunity.  Denise talked to Ben and Sarah about making a final three deal. Tony, however, eavesdropped on the conversation via spy nest. Tony then approached Sarah about voting out Denise, but Sarah considered talking out Nick due to his underdog story. At tribal council, Sarah and Tony joined Denise and their ally Ben in blindsiding Nick.

On Day 36, Tony talked to Sarah and Ben about splitting their votes between Natalie (who had returned from the Edge of Extinction) and Denise in case Natalie had an idol, but Sarah and Ben did not believe that she did. Sarah and Tony briefly argued what to do. At tribal council, Sarah made a speech on gender bias, and asked Jeff to start calling her Lacina. Natalie did play an idol, which prompted Tony and Ben to play theirs. Natalie's and Ben's votes were negated, making it a 0-0 tie. Jeff told Tony, Michele, Ben and Natalie that they had to revote but could only vote for Sarah and Denise, and then said if the vote ended in a tie, a now new rule would require them to make fire. Sarah was spared and Denise was unanimously voted out.

On Day 37, Sarah decided to talk to Natalie, and Tony told her to talk near the spy nest in order for her to find out if Natalie had an idol and he would use the Spy nest to catch her. Sarah met Natalie in the well, where Natalie talked to her about taking out Ben. Sarah, however, noticed something in Natalie's buff and asked to see. Natalie took it out and revealed that it was the idol which she found. Sarah then talked to Tony, and they agreed to get Michele out. Ben, however, gave Sarah permission to vote him out to help her game, which made her emotional. Sarah considered voting out Ben and leaving Tony out, in order to appeal to the jury. At tribal council, Sarah joined Michele and Natalie in blindsiding Ben, shocking Tony.

On Day 38, Sarah lost the Final Immunity Challenge to Natalie. At camp, Sarah and Tony helped each other make fire. Sarah appeared to have an easier time making fire than Tony. At Tribal Council, Natalie brought Michele to the Final Three and had Sarah make fire against Tony, with her goal of Sarah winning. While Sarah started her fire soon after Tony, she quickly got her fire burning the rope, while Tony's began to diminish. However, Sarah lost her lead when her fire began to diminish. Tony then got his fire burning the rope. While Sarah would soon get her fire burning the rope again, it began to diminish again and Tony won the challenge, eliminating Sarah. The two hugged, with Tony being distraught, but Sarah comforted him and told him to keep his head in the game. Jeff asked Sarah how it felt to fall short. An emotional Sarah said if she was to lose, she wanted to lose to Tony. Sarah then left tribal council but cheered for Tony. She became the 16th and final member of the largest jury ever.

At the Final Tribal Council, Sarah remained loyal to Tony by voting for him to win. She was one of the twelve jurors that helped Tony become the Sole Survivor and second two-time winner of *Survivor* (U.S.).
