Bianca is a contestant from *Survivor: Panama*, *Survivor: Philippines, Survivor: Tocantins, Survivor: Caramoan* and *Survivor: India*.

She later appeared as a mentor during *Survivor: Island of the Idols* on Day 2, where she was exiled with Fabian.

## Survivor: Panama

Bianca began *Survivor: Panama* on the purple Casaya tribe. She befriended the women on her tribe, and formed an alliance of six which including them, Hayden and Hunter. After losing the first immunity challenge, Casaya had to attend tribal as part of a Triple Tribal Council. The alliance of six voted together and Joel was eliminated. The tribe wins the next two immunity challenges, but lost again on Day 7. Darcy told Bianca and the girls that the plan was to eliminate Oliver. However, the men and Darcy flipped on Alana and Bianca was put in the minority.

At the Tribe Dissolve, Bianca remained on Casaya with Lana. The pair were invited into the majority Viveros Alliance and when they lost on Day 9, the eight voted out Catherine. In addition to her friendship with Lana, Bianca found common ground with Marina, Katrina and Tison. Bianca's position in the tribe was strengthened after her alliance eliminated Natalia from the minority. Casaya on Day 18 lost the immunity challenge and was told they would be voting out two tribe members. The first vote went as planned because Matthew went home, but Bianca was blindsided as some of the Viveros Alliance flipped to get rid of Tison. Only trusting Marina, Katrina and Lana now, the four girls wanted to eliminate Liam but they held no power, and Bianca was sent home at Casaya's next loss.

## Survivor: Philippines

Bianca began *Survivor: Philippines* originally on the red Kalabaw tribe. She formed a strong majority of five with the women and Daniel, as their alpha male. At the Kalabaw camp, Bianca also found their Hidden Immunity Idol but decided to keep it quiet despite her connection to the alliance. At the tribes first loss, they voted out William. Daniel then relayed information to Bianca about Laura potentially trying to turned against the women, which led to her elimination when Bianca played her idol. However, Joel then told the girls that Daniel was spreading lies to them in order to balance an alliance with both the men and the women, so Bianca's alliance blindsided him at the following tribal council. Kalabaw then won an immunity challenge, where Bianca was able to replace the idol she played days prior.

At the tribe dissolve on Day 13, Bianca remained on the red Kalabaw tribe along Joel and Liam. They joined Elyse, Mitchell, Montana and Tison from the yellow Tandang tribe as well as Domenic and Jasmine from Matsing. Tensions rose between Domenic and Jasmine from their division on Matsing, forcing the rest of the tribe to pick a side to align with. Bianca formed an alliance with Jasmine that include them, Elyse and Joel. They voted for Domenic at their first loss, but they didn't have the numbers and Jasmine was eliminated. At Kalabaw's loss on Day 22, they were shocked to find out that they were to attend a Double Tribal Council. Bianca's alliance struggled to retain power, and Joel was voted out first by Domenic's majority. Mitchell at the second tribal council flipped to Bianca and Elyse's minority because he was uncomfortable aligning with pairs Domenic and Liam, as well as Montana and Tison. At their second tribal that night, Bianca voted with Elyse and Mitchell to blindside Liam whilst the rest of the tribe struggled to decide which castaway to vote for. However, Bianca and Mitchell were getting suspicious of Elyse's intentions and Mitchell convinced Bianca to play her idol. With the only votes that counted, Elyse was blindsided.

The remaining castaways from the Kalabaw and Tandang tribes merged on Day 25. Bianca and Mitchell kept their partnership a secret, but they were able to slip into the Fulcrum Alliance with Vanessa (who Mitchell was aligned with on the original Tandang tribe) and her allies Aiden and Thomas. The five systematically eliminated Catherine, Domenic, Montana and Tison at the first four merged tribal councils whilst the minority alliance crumbled. Katrina and Marina had a large argument back at Dangrayne, where the rest of the tribe were forced to pick a girl to align with. Bianca and Mitchell's strategy was based around laying low, so they decided to align with Marina because she was a bigger target than Marina for winning *Survivor: Panama*. Both Katrina and Marina however played idols at tribal council as this argument was merely a trick, and Aiden gave the sole vote to eliminate Vanessa.

Bianca and Mitchell were confident that they would be able to slip to Day 39 because Katrina and Marina painted themselves as huge strategic threats. They aligned with Aiden and the trio was able to eliminate Vanessa's closest ally Thomas and take revenge on Katrina and Marina. At the Final Tribal Council, Bianca and Mitchell's stealthy partnership was well respected by the jury. Bianca's uphill battle to get to the end after controlling the original Kalabaw was given major props, though Mitchell's immunity wins edged her out when their games were compared with a fine toothed comb. She was given the title of Runner-Up after earning two of eight jury votes from Katrina and Marina.

## Survivor: Tocantins

In her third attempt, Bianca was placed on the black Timbira tribe of *Survivor: Tocantins*. When the Timbira tribe lost their first immunity challenge, Bianca was one of the targets to be eliminated for her previously strong gameplay. At the first tribal council, Bianca was voted out in a 5-3-1 vote. She lasted 3 days.

### Voting History

## Survivor: Caramoan

Hoping to not duplicate her appearance in *Tocantins*, Bianca was placed on the purple Bikal tribe during *Survivor: Caramoan*. The tribe immediately formed two alliances, one for the boys and the other for the girls. When Bikal lost their first challenge, the two alliances of five went head to head. Bianca was the target to the boys, whilst Jack was the target to the girls. Although the votes were tied 5 each, Bianca used a Hidden Immunity Idol, sending Jack home. Bianca and the Favorite Women's Alliance then blindsided Eileen for appearing to play on both sides. With both the boys and girls now tied with 4 people each, Bianca took it upon herself to find another idol. The boys voted for Bianca and the girls voted for Oliver, tying the votes 4 a piece. With the use of another Hidden Immunity Idol, Oliver became the fourth person voted out.

Bianca made it to the tribe switch, staying on Bikal with Belle, Trey and Lea. Both tribes at this point had to vote someone out as it was a Double Tribal Council. The Fans wanted to target Bianca after hearing about her two idol plays, whilst the Favorites chose Terra for her weak challenge ability and strong social game. With Bianca convincing Jorja to flip to the Favorites alliance, Terra was then voted out. The Bikal tribe was able to win the remaining immunity challenges, not having to go to Tribal Council.

At the merge, Bianca had two large alliances, one involving the female Favorites and one involving the Favorites and Jorja from Gota. For the first vote, Bianca and the Favourite Womens Alliance voted out Mitchelll. At the next vote, she worked with post-switch Gota alliance in blindsided her original ally, Lea and later outsider, Spencer. At this point, fearful that she might have her game exposed, she joined her two alliances together. This resulted in the successful eliminations of Luke and Ashton. With the Ashton vote, the minority alliances teamed up and voted for Bianca. However, by using her third hidden immunity idol of the season, the tie was broken and Ashton was sent home.

By the Final 7, Jorja became to be increasingly worried about her position in the alliance. Bianca decided to not take risks and voted out her former ally. Now the alliances were tied with 4 members each, Bianca could sense a tie in the next vote. In order to not have a tie between the two alliances, Bianca told Jefra to vote with the Favorite Womens Alliance, sending Trey home. By this point, the win seemed easy for Bianca, disposing of Jefra when the time came. The last target was Spud. However, he went on to win immunity, meaning the three original Bikal women had to turn on each other. Bianca believed that Belle deserved the Final Three more and she along with Spud and Belle, voted out Fawn.

At the Final Tribal Council, Bianca was mostly respected and praised towards the jury. She received 6 of 8 jury votes from Mitchell, Lea, Spencer, Jorja, Trey, Jefra and Fawn earning her the title of Sole Survivor. Bianca did not receive jury votes from Luke and Ashton because they were aligned with Spud.

## Survivor: India

For her win in *Caramoan*, Bianca competed with all the former winners for *Survivor: India* and was placed on the green Shiva tribe. She was quickly deemed one of the larger strategic threats and was considered at the first Shiva vote. This threat did not go unrecognised as Jase and Montana aligned with her to have a strong trio. However, this was unsuccessful as Bianca's ally, Montana, was targeted and voted out by the majority alliance. When Shiva lost again, she along with many other castaways banded together to vote out Derrick for his behaviour rubbing them the wrong way.

After the tribe dissolve, Bianca was moved to the purple Vishnu tribe, along with Blue Jay, Jen, Alexys, Jenny and Mikey from her original tribe. Bianca voted with the majority Chill Alliance in voting out Darcy when they lost their first immunity challenge. At this point, the castaways who were not originally on Shiva with Bianca banded together to form an alliance. This caused the consecutive eliminations of Blue Jay, Jen and Alexys, to which Bianca helped vote out the first two. Knowing she might be at the bottom, Bianca formed a three person alliance with Mikey and Marina, voting out Cecilia.

Bianca was able to make it to the merge. Knowing that the former winners who competed in Survivor: The Australian Outback had a large amount of power, Bianca formed a larger alliance with them and her own trio of her Mikey and Marina. They successfully voted out Katie. Fearful of their power, The *Australian Winners Alliance* blindsided Marina to gain full control over Bianca and Mikey. They then voted out Grayson and Nick for not being in the alliance. However, what they did not realise was that the minority alliance had strength in numbers and with the help of Bianca and Mikey, they voted out Winston.

By the Final Eight, Bianca and the Australian alliance came to a truce to not vote each other out yet. This led to the eliminations of Jenny and Aisha. Knowing that they made a mistake, Bianca and Mikey were now on the outs and Mikey was swiftly voted out. After Bianca won immunity, the Australian alliance had to turn on each other, voting out Karleigh. When Bianca did not win immunity, she was then voted out, just missing out on the Final Three. At the Final Tribal Council, Bianca for Ashleigh to win the title of second-time Sole Survivor.
