'''Which survivor contestant would you say you are most like? Why?''' Jefra Bland or Brett Clouser. Honestly, both are similar. Good social players who are also good at competitions and are smarter than they appear.

What is your experience with ORGs (Online Reality Games)? I played Jorvivor and came in 13th on season 13. I hid a fake immunity idol and got booted when Big Wendy took an idol in greed and then saved an alliance member with her hidden idol.

What is your strategy coming into the game? Downplay how much I pay attention to detail and to share a lot about myself with tribemates but very strategically. I don't want people thinking I'm too smart or crafty. I like to play an honest game so we'll see how that works for this time. Last time, my honesty made me a target.

Would you rather get to the end and be hated or get voted out early and be loved? Get out early and be loved. But if I can make it to the end and be loved, that's even better.

Is there anything else you want the specs to know? I'll be dropping audio/video confessionals relatively often, so anything I don't remember to say here, I'm sure I'll share at some point.

Survivor
Lindsey was an active conversationalist during the Marooning. Her talkative nature caught Simone’s attention from the get-go, and Simone voted for Lindsey at the marooning “vote.” After Flava was exiled, Lindsey was placed on the chaotic Garnet tribe. Lindsey quickly hit it off with all of her tribemates, and found herself in two alliances by Day 3: one with Simone and Vivi, and another with Simone, Vivi and Joey. Soon after, she made an alliance with the “older” members of her tribe, Simone, Rhone, and Treavor, which meant she was aligned with every member of her tribe.

In the second cycle, Lindsey used a randomizer to help the tribe decide who to send to the Kindergarten, but “rigged” it so her close ally Vivi could go. After Vivi found the idol, she told Lindsey and Simone. Almost immediately after Vivi revealed her idol to her allies, Simone and Vivi got worried that Lindsey was acting suspiciously. After winning their third immunity challenge in a row, Rhone went to the Kindergarten and the Garnet tribe descended into a paranoid mess. The exact nature of the OG Garnet drama was difficult for Hosts and specs to follow, but it largely stemmed from paranoia around alliances and who would be targeted if the tribe went to Tribal Council.

At the Final 16, Lindsey swapped to the Ruby tribe, which was made up of 3 Pearls (AP, Olly, and Pixiel), three Amethysts (Kham, Isabella, and Nate), and two Garnets (Treavor and Lindsey). Lindsey shared her knowledge about the Kindergarten - that Vivi and Pixiel worked together, and Pixiel likely had the Pearl idol - with her new tribemates, putting a target on Pixiel (despite Olly being the one to actually have the Pearl Idol). At some point during the first swap, Lindsey indicated to Olly (and perhaps others) that Vivi had the Garnet idol.

After losing the next immunity challenge, the three Amethysts pulled in Treavor and Lindsey to form the Sugilite majority alliance. This new Garnet-Amethyst coalition targeted AP, with Lindsey’s name as the decoy. Only Pixiel voted Lindsey with AP, and he was voted out in 16th place.

When Ruby lost their second immunity challenge in a row, Lindsey took on a leadership role and helped organize a split vote in the  Sugilite majority alliance between Pixiel and Olly, with Pixiel being voted out unless she played an idol. After Treavor changed his vote in the planned split at the last second and forced a 3-3-1 tie, Pixiel was voted out on the revote.

After the second swap, Lindsey stayed on Ruby 2.0 with her Sugilite alliance members Nate, Kham, and Isabella. Simone, Joey, and Dumpy swapped from Sapphire into a 4-3 minority. However, the Amethysts were already plotting to blindside Lindsey, with Nate leading the charge against her in particular.

Lindsey, unaware that she was in any danger on her new tribe, chose not to grab the Greed necklace and both tribes went to separate tribal councils. Lindsey believed the vote was on Dumpy since they were perceived as the least talkative member of the tribe, turning Dumpy against her when they learned their name was out there. Simone and Joey agreed to take out their fellow OG Garnet Lindsey, with Simone putting an even bigger target on Lindsey by telling the Amethysts that Lindsey, Rhone, and Treavor were a trio on OG Garnet.

Isabella and Kham threw their votes on Joey in case of an idol play, and Lindsey was blindsided in a 4-2-1 vote. Since she and Treavor were voted out at the same time, they were supposed to compete in a firemaking challenge to determine placement. However, Lindsey chose to let Treavor win, making her final placement 14th and his 13th.
