Sarah Lacina
The cop who played it safe once, swore never again, and flipped her way to a title.
Sole Survivor
- Won Survivor 34: Game Changers (2017) after 39 days.
Known for
Sarah's Cagayan began with her sniffing out that Tony Vlachos was a fellow cop, and the two formed Cops-R-Us. The tribe switch stranded her as the lone Brawn left on Aparri, and at the merge she sat in the swing seat as the swing vote between both sides. Kass McQuillen got nervous about that power and flipped, and Sarah became the first juror. She still voted for Tony.
Game Changers was the vow kept. When Jeff Varner outed Zeke Smith as transgender at Tribal Council, she spoke up in support of Zeke. After the merge she bounced between the Power Six and the Tavua alliance, blindsiding Ozzy Lusth, Debbie Wanner and Sierra Dawn Thomas, who willed her the Legacy Advantage without knowing Sarah had helped vote her out. She snagged a Vote Steal off the sit-out bench, played both advantages, and beat Brad Culpepper and Troyzan Robertson 7-3-0.
In Winners at War she reunited with Tony and teamed with Sophie Clarke to topple Rob Mariano on Yara. Tony later beat her in fire-making, one step short of the finals.
