Known for

Kass started Cagayan on Luzon, the Brains tribe that kept losing, and blindsided Garrett Adelstein at a messy Tribal that also flushed his idol. The switch put Luzon's survivors in charge, but at the merge she felt shut out by the Aparri Alliance, took Trish Hegarty's offer, and voted out Sarah Lacina. The flip earned her the Chaos Kass label and Spencer Bledsoe's prediction that she had no shot. She kept scheming, clashed with Tony Vlachos over his double-dealing and with Trish after calling her a goat, won a late immunity, and struck a final-two deal with Woo Hwang. Woo won the last challenge, weighed her pitch against Tony's, and took Tony instead. On the jury she told Woo he had made the wrong call, then voted for Tony.

In Cambodia she promised a softer, more social game, and sat on winning tribes almost the whole way. After the merge, though, she and the Witches Coven were badly outnumbered, and nobody wanted to risk Chaos Kass returning. She was the first one voted out of Orkun.
