Known for

Kamilla and Kyle Fraser bonded on Civa and agreed to hide their partnership for the entire game. After the swap they faked a rivalry on a Lagi-heavy Vula, then combined Kyle's idol with her Extra Vote to blindside Thomas Krottinger. Kept outside the merge majority, she flipped David Kinne's plot against her into his exit, and later sold frontrunner Joe Hunter on a story that got him to vote out his own ally Shauhin Davari. Two puzzle-fueled immunity wins kept her rolling. At the final four she and Kyle amicably released each other, and Eva Erickson beat her at fire. She then helped Kyle win by pointing the jury to his Shauhin move.

In the Hands of the Fans she came in more aggressive and landed in the swing seat on the swapped Cila, siding with Rizo Velovic to blindside Charlie Davis. At the Blood Moon, Chrissy Hofbeck recruited a still-stung Jonathan Young, and Kamilla fell 3-2.
