Known for

Chrissy started Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers as an outsider on Levu, holding a one-night super idol Ryan Ulrich had secretly sent her. After the swap she locked in with Ryan and JP Hilsabeck, and at the merge the trio slid into the Solewa majority. Then the other four broke off at the final nine, JP was blindsided, and Ben Driebergen turned out to be playing double agent. Chrissy answered by winning immunity four times and even waved her dead super idol around at Tribal as a decoy. The jury respected the grind but questioned her social game and gave Ben the win.

In the Hands of the Fans, Chrissy's intensity put her on Kalo's radar early, but she hit the merge without a single Tribal. During the Blood Moon twist she talked Jonathan Young into flipping on his allies to blindside Kamilla Karthigesu. Paired with Coach Wade for the Double Duo twist, she pushed to take out Rizo Velovic, and Cirie Fields rallied the tribe to send the pair out instead.
