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 Tribals, Sherri's alliance took control, voting out Allie Pohevitz and Hope Driskill. 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 for 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. 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 and ultimately made it to the Final Three along with John Cochran and Dawn Meehan.

At the Final Tribal Council, Sherri was mostly ignored by the Jury, who all believed that she had been carried the finals. Sherri also got into a heated argument with jury member Erik Reichenbach after he asked her to honestly confess that she was floating through the game. 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 for Malcolm at the revote.
