Roark is a castaway from Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers. She was a member of the Healers / Soko tribe due to her work as a social worker.
Roark started the game in a great position. She was on the dominant Soko tribe which won the first four immunity challenges and she found herself in the majority alliance with Jessica, Cole, and Desi, who planned on targeting either Dr. Mike or Joe if they went to Tribal, although original Soko never did. On Day 9, a surprise tribe swap left Roark as the only original Soko to remain on New Soko, leaving her isolated in a tribe with two Hustlers (Ali & Ryan) and two Heroes (Chrissy & JP). Chrissy immediately stated to Ryan and Ali that Roark had to go. She managed to form a tight bond with Ali from the Hustlers, who had Ryan under her finger. She tried to work over Chrissy, who ended up feeling threatened by Roark and lied to JP telling him Roark wanted an all female alliance. Ryan ended up flipping on Ali, leaving Roark and Ali in the minority. When it came down to tribal, Roark became the fifth person voted out of the game on Day 14 and the first Soko to leave the game, in a 3-2 vote to Chrissy due to the threat of an "all-girls alliance". She placed 14th overall.
Pre-game, Roark was good friends with Survivor villain Corinne Kaplan and appeared on her podcast several times. Sadly, she was the only Healer not to make the merge. Despite being under-edited, many of her tribe mates stated she was very strategic, although it did not factor into the larger story of the season. She was accused of being a robot by tribe mate Joe, who called her Ro-Dagger, which is slightly better than Chrissy's "Mrs. Smartypants" nickname. She is not a robot, as it turns out. Her favorite season is Panama - Exile Island and she describes herself as a love child between Courtney Yates and Sophie Clarke.
