## Survivor

### *Egypt*

On *Canadian Survivor: Egypt*, Debbie was a member of the Isis tribe. Day 2, Debbie has a major meltdown. Day 4, Felipe picks Debbie to join Isis, then Debbie selects Quan. Day 8, forms **Isis Two** alliance with Felicity. Day 13, has a minor disagreement with her ally, Felicity. Day 14, the *Isis Two* and *Affiliates* (Charles and Tessa) have the majority and send Felipe home.

Day 18 turns out to be New Atum vs New Isis and fortunately for Debbie, New Atum sends Charles home. Day 19, Debbie is sent to Exile Island with Linda, they go their separate ways in searching for the Hidden Immunity Idol and Debbie is successful in finding the idol - celebrating out of sight from Linda. Day 20, finds something in common with Tim. Day 23, bonds slightly with Felicity and luckily for New Isis, May asks to be sent home and Debbie can save her Idol. Day 26, Debbie joins Miro's **Osiris Four** alliance with Allan and Tim. Unbeknownst to Debbie, this was an alliance created to give her confidence, but unbeknownst to the others is that Debbie had the Hidden Immunity Idol and when she was blindsided, she turned the blindside on them and sent Miro to jury.

Day 30, Debbie and Felicity agree to vote for Linda - but when the votes are revealed, Felicity had changed her vote to Allan and the vote was tied between Allan and Felicity. In the re-vote, Debbie didn't want to go to rocks and with Felicity's recent betrayal, she voted to send her closest ally to jury. Day 33, Debbie has a major meltdown, but wins the most important Immunity necklace of the season, forcing New Atum to vote eachother out once again. Day 36, Debbie and Tim decide to force a fire-tiebreaker between Allan and Linda. Day 38, Debbie won the Final Immunity Challenge to guarantee her spot at the Final Tribal Council, she would send Linda to the jury.

Debbie would be crowned Sole Survivor over Tim by a vote of 4-3, swaying May as a vote for her dominant challenge record.

Day 10, Agoucha moves to the Have Not Camp and Debbie finds their Hidden Immunity Idol, possessing two idols at the same time.
