Yiota was a very interesting player because while she seemed to be one of Chelsea's minions for basically the first thirteen episode, she really broke out of her shell during the finale and I would've expected most people to think she had a real chance to win, especially considering how much hate Genevieve would've received from the jury. Yiota used Chelsea as her shield all game and while she wouldn't have received too much air time, she definitely would've had a few confessionals thrown in to remind us that while Chelsea was the figurehead, Yiota was the one truly in control. She acted as the lynchpin of the Estere alliance, managing to keep Reece on a leash despite him constantly wanting to flip, most notably at the merge boot.

Her biggest move of the season was definitely orchestrating Chelsea's blindside at the Final 5. Yiota correctly identified that the only person she could beat for sure was Reece and needed to turn one of the other three into somebody the jury didn't respect. Thanks to Genevieve managing to piss off many of the jurors (Milo for one), Yiota saw her as the perfect scapegoat for her. Confident she would be able to sway Reece anyway, Yiota purposefully left Genevieve in the dark about the Chelsea boot (despite Gen wanting Chelsea out too) so that the jury would be forced to give Yiota full credit for the move. Then, she once again used her connection with Reece to convince him that Samuel had more friends on the jury and they sent him home right after.

Yiota would've had a great Final Tribal Council performance and managed to sway Jullian's vote, who was originally planning to vote for Genevieve. Chelsea, in particular, heavily campaigned for Yiota to win, impressed by how much control she has without her realising. In turn, she was chastised for doing too little too late, as well as her shyness, which prevented her from connecting with people. Ultimately, the majority of the jurors, while hurt, respected Genevieve's gutsy game more and Yiota landed a respectable second place.
