Irene's pre-merge game remained pretty much the same, except she stood by Emil more and was more into pretending she was on his side, although she trashed him in confessionals and to other people's faces. She'd also shut down any talk about getting rid of him because she knew he was in her pocket. This noticeably angered Cassy in the post-swap Sena, as Cassy and Emil got into a bit of a heated rivalry, and Irene was playing both of them to keep them happy. Cassy caught on, Emil did not.

Irene voted in the minority at Brendyn's blindside, but was able to successfully maneuver her way into the majority alliance by offering Emil as a sacrifice of sorts, telling Ricki and Jimmy "I'm with you to the end, I promise I'll do whatever you say," which was followed by an offer to vote against Emil. Though Emil still thought Irene was his closest ally, she despised him more and more with each passing day.

Irene got just one vote at the Final Tribal Council because she would've been disliked by a majority of the cast. Even though she claimed to hate Emil, her actions by and large said otherwise because until the merge, she always found excuses to keep him around, and always supported him to his face. Irene was also quite cocky, had a negative attitude around camp, and she was seen as riding Jimmy's and Ricki's coattails for the vast majority of the game. Her only jury vote came from Brendyn, who basically wanted to abstain from voting in the original draft since he knew nobody else would vote for her.
