Survivor: One World
Sabrina entered the game on the all-female Salani tribe, where she was immediately approached by Alicia Rosa for an alliance of five, which also consisted of Kat Edorsson, Kim Spradlin, and Chelsea Meissner. Sabrina showed disdain upon knowing that Salani would be living alongside the rival all-male Manono tribe, whose gesture at the first meeting (e.g. stealing their supplies and leaving them with very few items) was deemed unethical by the women.

Like several of the Salani women, Sabrina grew an attachment with Manono's Colton Cumbie, who was the odd-man out of the Manono, being the only gay member in their tribe. On Day two, after taking a bath, Sabrina found the a Hidden Immunity Idol, only to find out that it was the Manono tribe's Idol, and since she was on the Salani tribe, she had to give it to a member of Manono before the next Tribal Council. Sensing that Colton was in trouble, she gave the Manono Idol to him as a sign of goodwill for being friendlier with the women than he ever was with his own tribe mates.

Though Salani lost the first Immunity Challenge, Sabrina was safe, as one of her tribe mates, Kourtney Moon, was injured and had to leave the game on Day three. The alliance kept its dominance and voted out Nina Acosta on Day 5 for her weakness in challenges.

On Day 8, Sabrina was chosen to be the leader for the Immunity Challenge. The Salani women were behind at first, but Sabrina made a huge comeback during the puzzle challenge. Sabrina beat Bill and won immunity for herself and her tribe.
