Survivor: Caramoan
Sherri was put on the Gota tribe at the beginning of the season. She immediately formed an alliance with Julia Landauer, Laura Alexander, Shamar Thomas, Michael Snow, and Matt Bischoff, opposing the other four members of the tribe. At Gota's first two Tribal Councils, Sherri's alliance took control, voting out Allie Pohevitz and Hope Driskill, two members of the rival alliance, the Cool Kids. However on Day 10, Sherri would lose two of her alliance members. Shamar got a piece of sand in his eye, he then scratched his cornea and ultimately needed to be medically evacuated. Also, after losing the Immunity Challenge, Sherri was forced to vote off her closest ally, Laura, in order to keep the tribe strong.

At the Tribe Switch, Sherri remained on Gota but was separated from her entire alliance. During this time, Sherri attempted to bond with the original Bikal members, hoping to sway them into voting for Eddie Fox and Reynold Toepfer. Due to Gota's winning streak, Sherri made the merge on Day 20, joining the merged Enil Edam tribe. However, Michael was the only player original from her alliance left and at that point the alliance seemed pretty much dead. Noticing her dislike of Eddie and Reynold, Phillip Sheppard approached Sherri, and recruited her into his alliance. Sherri would then aid the alliance in voting out Corinne Kaplan and her former ally Michael.

Following Phillip's elimination, Malcolm Freberg tried to persuade Sherri into joining his alliance to vote out the remaining Stealth R Us members. Unfortunately for him, Sherri stayed loyal and contributed to his elimination. She remained safe for the remaining Tribal Councils as the remaining players continued to target threats or finish off "The Three Amigos", ultimately making it to the Final Three along with John Cochran and Dawn Meehan.

At the Final Tribal Council, Sherri both ignored and heavily criticized by the Jury, most of whom believed that she had been carried to the finals after the merge. Erik Reichenbach accused her of floating through the game, to which Sherri took great offense, resulting in a heated argument. Sherri received no Jury votes and ended up becoming the Co-Runner-Up with Dawn.

Voting History
In There's Gonna Be Hell to Pay, the vote ended with a 3-3-3 tie between Hope, Eddie, and Shamar, forcing a revote. Sherri did not change her vote at the revote.

In Come Over to the Dark Side, the vote ended with a 3-3-3 tie between Andrea, Malcolm, and Reynold, forcing a revote. Sherri voted against Malcolm at the revote.
