Shirin Oskooi
The self-proclaimed superfan whose enthusiasm grated on her tribemates, and whose jury speech turned the finalists into animals.
Known for
Shirin arrived in Worlds Apart enthusiastic and talkative, which rubbed tribemates on White Collar and then Nagarote the wrong way. She survived her early brushes with the chopping block and helped the No Collars blindside Kelly Remington at the merge, but Carolyn and Tyler Fredrickson went the other way and her side got picked off one by one. After the auction, Will Sims II, angry that she doubted his honesty about sharing a reward, yelled at her that no one missed her at home, until Mike Holloway stepped in to end it and console her. Mike even flashed his idol at Tribal to try to save her, but the bluff failed.
Her jury speech cast the finalists as animals and gave Will no mercy before she voted for Mike. In Cambodia she engineered the Vytas Baskauskas blindside, but scheming alongside Spencer Bledsoe made both of them targets, and Ta Keo chose her in a 5-4 split.
