Trivia

 * When the Tandang tribe painted their initials on a tree at their camp, Lisa put her initials as "LC", using her married name Lisa Cauble, to hide her identity. This was despite the fact that she had divorced her husband Steven Cauble less than a month before the game began.
 * Being a fan of The Facts of Life as a young adult, returning contestant Michael Skupin recognized her, but could not call her by her stage name Blair because it would throw her off-guard.
 * Returning contestant Jonathan Penner also recognized her, and later revealed her identity to everyone at the Final Tribal Council.
 * Lisa is the first contestant to appear in an interview prior to the airing of their elimination episode. Lisa was on the Jeff Probst Show while Survivor: Philippines was in its midway point.
 * Lisa and Michael Skupin are the second pair to tie for second place at the Final Tribal Council after Dreamz and Cassandra Franklin of Survivor: Fiji.
 * Unlike Dreamz and Cassandra, Lisa and Skupin never received votes against them, and received votes for them.
