Frannie Marin
Survivor 44's challenge-crushing half of a showmance, who got too good to keep around.
Known for
Frannie and Matt Blankinship found each other on Soka, and their nerdy friendship turned into the season's showmance. It made the rest of the tribe nervous, but Danny Massa decided the pair were worth keeping, and Soka's winning streak let them coast into the merge inside the Soka Alliance with Danny and Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt.
Then Frannie turned into a competitor. She outlasted the entire other team in an endurance challenge to win immunity for her group, but Matt was on the other side, and the Ratus voted him out. Devastated, she became the Ratus' next target, only for Danny's idol to save her from six votes while Brandon Cottom was blindsided. Frannie won two more individual challenges, and every win grew the target. Left out of the Kane Fritzler vote and plotting with the women to cut Danny, she lost one immunity at the wrong moment, and Danny got his way. On the jury, she voted for Yam Yam Arocho.
