Eliza Orlins
The nonstop talker who packed her bag for every Tribal Council and kept outlasting the people planning to use it.
Known for
Eliza talked her way onto the hot seat almost immediately on the all-female Yasur tribe in Vanuatu, and she stayed there. She got paranoid about Dolly Neely and helped blindside her, and she kept surviving votes everyone expected her to lose, bag in hand. Late in the game she jumped from Ami Cusack's alliance to Chris Daugherty, Twila Tanner and Scout Cloud Lee to blindside Leann Slaby, then drifted back toward Julie Berry to make Chris the swing vote. He chose Twila and Scout, judged Eliza too dangerous at the end, and waved as her torch went out. She still voted for him after he apologized to her.
Micronesia's Favorites put her against the Couples Alliance, and every early ally fell. On Airai she partnered with Jason Siska, who handed her the idol he'd found after winning immunity. She knew right away it was a fake, one Ozzy Lusth had planted, and played it anyway to force Ozzy to admit he held the real one, and then took the first seat on the jury.
