Francesca Hogi
Two seasons, two opening Tribal Councils, and one very persistent Phillip Sheppard.
Known for
Francesca arrived in Redemption Island openly unimpressed that Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz were in the game, and joined a small Ometepe trio with Phillip Sheppard and Kristina Kell. Phillip's antics grated on her, and at the first Tribal Council he blew up her plan by spilling it, and Kristina's idol, to Rob. Rob's alliance split the votes and Francesca took the fall. On Redemption Island she jumped out to an early lead in the first duel before Matt Elrod reeled her in.
Caramoan offered a do-over. Francesca teamed up with Brandon Hantz, Brenda Lowe and Erik Reichenbach, and even apologized to Phillip for their feud. But when Bikal lost the first immunity she went after him again, then pivoted to Andrea Boehlke once she learned the two were working together. The tribe sided with Phillip and Andrea, and Francesca was blindsided 6-4.
