Andrea was a castaway who originally appeared on Survivor: Redemption Island and was brought back as a favorite to appear on Survivor: Caramoan - Fans vs. Favorites.
On Redemption Island (RI), within the first 3 days of the game, she quickly found herself in an alliance with Grant, Rob, Natalie, Ashley, and Matt, although she was closer to the guys. In particular, she and Matt would flirt with each other a lot, which led her alliance to blindside her and Matt by taking him out at their second tribal council appearance. Although upset, she remained loyal to Rob's alliance, which recruited outsider Phillip as a member, who later dubbed their alliance Stealth R Us. Despite their early stumbling, Ometepe went on a winning streak, keeping Andrea safe, and she was reunited with Matt on Day 19 when he won his way back into the game. At the merge, Andrea and Matt befriended Mike, who made deals with them in an attempt to get them to flip, but after Matt ran his mouth to Rob, Andrea joined the other Ometepe in blindsiding Matt for a second time.
Because of her physical strength, even winning individual immunity on Day 24, and due to her close ties with Grant and her strategic mind, she found herself at the bottom of her alliance inadvertently. Seeing her as a threat, Rob and Grant orchestrated her blindside and sent her to Redemption Island. At Redemption Island, Andrea defied expectations by defeating physically strong Grant, Matt, and Mike in order to earn a place back into the game. Andrea was incredibly strategic in returning to the game and tried to convince the girls to flip on Phillip and Rob. The girls were aware that Rob had an Idol, so voting for him would be pointless at the final 5, so Andrea was unsuccessful, and when Ashley secured immunity for herself, Andrea's fate was sealed and she was voted out a second time and sent to the jury. As a jury member, she voted for Rob to win the game. She is the first female to be voted off twice in one season (with Matt being the second male, after Burton Roberts from Pearl Islands).
In Caramoan, she wanted to play a more aggressive game this time around, and found herself reunited with former tribe mates Francesca and Phillip on the Bikal tribe. Once again, she and Phillip reformed their Stealth R Us alliance and voted Francesca off. They recruited Malcolm, Corinne, Dawn, and Cochran to their alliance. Although in the majority alliance, Andrea still managed to keep close ties with the outsiders, and even contemplated blindsiding Corinne. A tribe swap led her to be on Gota, which dominated the remaining challenges until the merge.
She entered the merge with the numbers, having the Favorites on her side, and had a core alliance consisting of herself, Phillip, Dawn, and Cochran. Together, they orchestrated Corinne's ouster after they found out she wanted Phillip gone. Growing closer to Eddie, he revealed that Andrea was being targeted by his alliance, so she convinced her alliance, which added Sherri, to successfully vote Michael out. Although Phillip himself was blindsided, Andrea stayed loyal to the remaining members of the alliance, and she even stalked Malcolm to ensure he didn't find an Idol. Erik found an immunity Idol and gave it to Andrea. When she grew worried of Brenda, she came up with a plan to blindside her and told Cochran and Dawn. Worried she had an Idol and the fact she wanted Brenda gone, they came up with a plan to split the votes to flush her Idol, but she did not play her Idol, sending her home in a 3-2-2 vote with an Idol in her pocket (the first women to have that occur to them). She joined the rest of the jury in voting for Cochran to win.
After the show, Andrea has had a relatively successful career as an entertainment reporter, working for AskMen, Rob Has a Podcast, People Magazine, CBS Sports, and many more. She has had lots of minor acting gigs and have filmed pilots for TV shows that have yet to be picked up, even auditioning for a starring role in Blue Bloods (she only got a minor role in an episode). She's appeared in ads, including one for Burger King.. if you want laugh, it looks like Andrea or her agent edits her Survivor Wikia page. Andrea is BEST FRIENDS with Big Brother 17 contestant Meg Maley and even appeared in the premiere episode with Meg, where she appeared in Meg's intro package.

When the cast was first released before the season started, Andrea was my favorite, so clearly, when she went far in the game, I was super stoked. Although my love for her kind of weaned, I was happy to see her come back and play again without Rob and his cult in the game (well.. most of his cult -looks at Phillip-). She is incredibly beautiful and smart and probably in the top 25 female strategists of the game.
