Known for

In Nicaragua, Brenda and Sash Lenahan ran the young La Flor tribe, picking off Shannon Elkins and then the original Espada power players while their alliance held the numbers past the merge. That much control made her the obvious threat, and when Holly Hoffman rallied the tribe, Sash kept his idol in his pocket and Brenda walked to the jury.

Caramoan brought a gentler version. She bonded with Dawn Meehan after fishing Dawn's lost retainer out of the river, joined the Stealth R Us majority and helped clear out the Cool Kids. Then came the loved ones reward: offered a trade, she gave up time with her father so everyone else could see their families. The gesture looked so good that John Cochran flipped Dawn and Sherri Biethman to blindside her in a 3-2-1 vote. At Final Tribal she pressed Dawn about the retainer episode, then gave her vote to Cochran.
