Known for

Corinne joined Kota's Onion Alliance early in Gabon, looped in Bob Crowley to lock a majority, and rode Kota's dominance through the first switch while bonding with Randy Bailey. The second switch was the killer: split onto the new Fang, the Onions could only watch as Susie Smith defected on the other beach. At the merge Sugar Kiper sided with the Fang Alliance, and Corinne was stranded. She spent her auction money on an immunity advantage and still lost the challenge, then she and Bob bluffed a second idol. Ken and Crystal bought the bluff and split their votes, which sent Corinne home instead. Her jury speech, a merciless takedown of Sugar, was her most notorious put-down of all.

Caramoan had her code-named inside Phillip Sheppard's Stealth R Us, finding an idol with Malcolm Freberg and chafing at Phillip. After the merge she and Malcolm plotted a new six-person majority, but she confided the plan to Dawn Meehan, Dawn told the alliance, and Corinne was blindsided 7-5.
