Hope was a castaway from Survivor: Caramoan – Fans vs. Favorite and was a member of the Gota (Fans) tribe. Right away, she and Allie formed an alliance with Eddie and Reynold, which was called the “Cool Kids Alliance”. The other six took notice of their bond and blindsided Allie during Gota’s first tribal, leaving Hope, Reynold, and Eddie in the minority. Knowing Reynold possessed the Hidden Immunity Idol, the six outsiders decided to split their votes between Eddie and Hope, in case Reynold played the Idol on one of them or himself, and with the plan to vote out Hope at the revote due to her weaknesses in challenges. Shamar didn’t like the plan and tipped off Hope, encouraging her to vote for Eddie to prevent a tie. Hope didn’t take his advice and joined Eddie and Reynold in voting for Shamar, allowing the majority’s plan to work. The vote tied 3-3-3 and Hope was voted out 5-1, becoming the 3rd person voted out and the 2nd fan to leave.
