Abi-Maria is a Survivor villainess, originally appearing on Survivor: Philippines. She later appeared on Survivor: Cambodia – Second Chances, where she attempted to redeem herself.
According to the Survivor Wiki: “In Philippines, Abi started the game in a strong alliance with RC Saint-Amour, but was pitted against her by [ally] Pete Yurkowski. Her game came unraveled when she was unable to manage her peers' perception of her as self-unaware and unlikable, as her conduct unwittingly drove Lisa Whelchel and Michael Skupin to the rival Kalabaw Alliance.
Though she attempted to change her personality in Cambodia, she ultimately returned to her old ways as a volatile character. She picked fights with Peih-Gee Law and Woo Hwang, and her antagonistic tendencies led her to be identified as a goat who could be easily beaten at the Final Tribal Council. Her Witches' Coven alliance [with Ciera and Wentworth] was relegated to permanent minority status after the merge, and though she was for some time a beneficiary of the unusual resilience of that alliance, she was finally eliminated in 7th place.”
According to Abi-Maria, she was originally recruited for Survivor: Tocantins, but was later cut when producers feared her Brazilian background would give her an unfair advantage, especially since she lived pretty close to wear filming occurred. She was replaced by first-boot Carolina Eastwood. Her father is Brazilian artist Gomes de Souza. She was one of 32 selected to be voted on by the public to be on Survivor Cambodia – Abi indeed received one of the top 10 female votes. Her participation caused R.C. to decline a spot. She made the jury in both of her appearances and voted for the eventual winner. Abi won Best Villain at the 2015 Reality Television Awards, and around the time Cambodia began, she was dating cast mate and ally Pete. She is currently an entrepreneur, releasing her own cocktail called Xi Acai which she said tasted like “a carnival in a bottle”.
