Matthew "Sash" Lenahan
Nicaragua's smooth-talking dealmaker who held an idol and every secret, and paid for it with every jury vote.
Known for
Sash started scheming on La Flor from the first hour, building an alliance with NaOnka Mixon and Brenda Lowe, then adding Kelly Shinn. After the swap he pulled off a slick con: he talked Marty Piombo into handing over his idol on the promise it would come back, kept Marty safe as promised, and never returned the idol.
Post-merge his alliance ran the board. He turned on Marty when Marty plotted against Jane Bright, then turned the group on Brenda after she floated an ouster of him. The quits of NaOnka and Purple Kelly cracked his empire, but an immunity win made him the swing vote again, and he rejoined Chase Rice and Holly Hoffman. They cut Jane, who flipped him off and voted for him, only for his idol to negate it. At the end he told Fabio Birza he was safe while Chase and Holly told him the truth. The jury saw nothing but deception, and Sash got zero votes.
