Barbara-Anne: Barbara-Anne had a nearly invisible second episode, and her third episode appears no better. She exhibits some goofy behavior, which make people not want to work with her. She doesn't have a concrete alliance, so she ends up voting with Shaun and Jamie, but is blindsided when the others vote for Trisha instead. Barbara-Anne doesn't play a large part in the next episode, but she mends her bonds with Mike and Mikayla, and forms an even stronger bond with Ty. At the swap, Barbara-Anne and Ty form a very tight bond, while appearing to be on the outs as Shaun focuses more on Titus. As I stated earlier with Shaun, Barbara-Anne relays information to other tribe members, feeling some disappointment how he doesn't talk to her. After Ty confronted Shaun, he goes back to Barbara-Anne, who says that everything he did was true. When Allyson comes back, she notices that she's a loose add-on to an alliance with Allyson, Shaun, Titus, and Ty, so she tries to push Ty away from the alliance, and does it successfully. Barbara-Anne finds some success after taking a part in convincing Eloisa and Saliyah to go against Shaun, and Barbara-Anne and Ty decide in the end to vote off Shaun. The merge comes, and it's an awesome episode for Barbara-Anne. I planned a really cool confessional where she makes a game plan and reflects on how she didn't really have power until now. Barbara-Anne and Mike form a new alliance with Saliyah, Eloisa, Elijah, and Ty. When Jamie figures out that the Anti-Terror Squad was regrouping, Barbara-Anne savagely throws Titus under the bus, convincing Elijah and Eloisa to make a split vote plan and in the end would be their undoing. Barbara-Anne rallies in Clarette, sending Eloisa home. Titus tries to form an alliance with Mike and Barbara-Anne, but she brushes it off. She doesn't play much of a role aside from that, other than suggesting a split-vote plan, but they ended up not doing it. Barbara-Anne then gives up all hope on Allyson, Jamie, and Titus, so she cuts off all communication with them to point out that their clique would be their doom. Barbara-Anne wins immunity in the Touchy Subjects challenge flawlessly, getting every question correct and receiving no chops on her rope. At the live tribal council after Elijah made untrue claims, Barbara-Anne tells her alliance of Clarette, Saliyah, and Ty to keep things the same. However, on the revote, she and others swap to Elijah, seeing that he voted for Ty. Barbara-Anne and Ty plan to vote out Jamie next, but the real factor that triggered their undoing is Jamie coming up with a plan to vote out Mikayla after Clarette ratted out the alliance to Saliyah. Mikayla wins immunity, so Barbara-Anne and Ty make any relationship with Mikayla and Jamie implode, sending them home. Next episode, Barbara-Anne makes a deal with Allyson and Titus to spare them if they wouldn't target her or Ty. They agree. When Ty tells Mikayla, she tells Ty about a plan to eliminated Barbara-Anne that came from Saliyah, but Ty and Mikayla stick with Barbara-Anne, eliminated Saliyah. When Clarette was left out, she tries to make a new alliance with everybody but Barbara-Anne, saying she should go for being a huge threat. Everybody agrees, and Barbara-Anne really does seem like she's going to go until shortly before tribal everybody starts talking about Clarette's short temper and behavior. Barbara-Anne is spared again, only receiving the vote of Clarette. The next episode is all about the epic conclusion of Allyson and Titus' relationship arc, but Barbara-Anne and Ty have to carefully consider whether or not to vote out Titus or Mikayla, since Allyson won immunity. They choose Mikayla, thinking that they had a better chance convincing Allyson and Titus against Mikayla than Mikayla voting for one of them. However, they wrongfully assumed they were in a good position, as Allyson and Mikayla were planning to #epicblindside Titus after he made an overcomplicated plan that he said "could sacrifice [Allyson] but probably not." They end up voting for Mikayla, but Mikayla plays her idol, so they were unlucky again. Barbara-Anne is crushed, knowing that Mikayla has the biggest resume, and Allyson with the second largest, so after Mikayla wins immunity, they spend all evening trying to Mikayla with them. Although their efforts were very good, Mikayla ended up making the decision to side with them herself. Then there were three left in the game. Barbara-Anne and Ty have a really nice scene of them reminiscing about their earlier days in the game. But, after Mikayla wins final immunity, the two try to convince Mikayla to vote for the other. They both have very convincing arguments, but since Barbara-Anne had a better chance to win, she is voted off. Despite having an extremely tight connection with Ty, she votes for Mikayla to win, stating that she played a better game.

(In addition, Jamie advocated for Ty to win, stating that his game was balanced and organized, while Mikayla's was too flashy and relied on luck too much. Jamie also complained how Mikayla was trying to earn sympathy votes after she talked about her past and began crying. Shaun voted for Mikayla to win due to thinking Mikayla's game fulfilled the definition of Sole Survivor better).

That's all! Any further questions?
