Season: Previous Finish: 6th Place What will you do differently this time around? "The first time I played I was consistently in a defensive position and focused on winning challenges in order to stay in the game. Assuming a more favorable position (i.e. tribe), I will be able to show the viewers some different aspects of my personality. This time I will also present myself as less of a physical threat until the time is right to unleash that part of my gameplay. My goal is to leverage my social and strategic abilities more than my athleticism."

Survivor: Cagayan
Because of her intelligence, Tasha Fox was placed on the Luzon tribe. During the First Impressions twist, the tribe elected David Samson as the leader. When he had to pick the weakest member of the tribe, David opted to vote out the muscular Garrett Adelstein due to threat status. J'Tia Taylor took it upon herself to direct the shelter building process, though she didn't actually help with building the shelter, which was considered a miserable failure. At the first Immunity Challenge, Luzon fell behind early and was unable to catch up. After the challenge, Garrett wanted revenge on David for deeming him the weakest. He gathered Tasha, J'Tia, and Spencer Bledsoe to blindside David and succeeded. After the vote, Kass McQuillen decided to be a swing vote for the men or women. At the second challenge of the season, Garrett carried the tribe but J'Tia screwed up the puzzle, costing Luzon the immunity win. Garrett decided to hold an open forum about who to vote out. Tasha was annoyed with this and wanted Garrett out for not playing the game. The decision was complicated when J'Tia dumped the rice into the fire. After a hectic Tribal Council, Kass voted with the women and blindsided Garrett.

Tasha was angered by the fact that J'Tia dumped the rice into the fire. After getting the next Tree Mail for the challenge, the tribe decided to practice for the challenge. Despite lagging behind at the challenge, Kass and Spencer were able to place second at the challenge and won Luzon a tarp. The tribe would practice for the next Reward Challenge as well. Tasha was the caller, though because of J'Tia at the last minute, Luzon lost the challenge again. Tasha helped J'Tia practice for the Immunity Challenge by teaching her diving. This did not help and J'Tia struggled yet again. Despite Spencer's efforts and the Aparri tribe trying to throw the challenge, Luzon lost yet again. Tasha was initially going to vote out J'Tia for weakness but thought about how loyal she was in comparison to Spencer. In the ended, strength outweighed loyalty and J'Tia was unanimously voted out.

The next Tree Mail implied a food reward, with a challenge involving "Kicking and Screaming". Tasha was delighted to compete for food. At the challenge, a tribe switch commenced. In a random draw of buffs, all members of the Luzon tribe ended up on the new Aparri tribe with Sarah Lacina, Alexis Maxwell, Jeremiah Wood, and Morgan McLeod. Tasha was on the pole for the first round of the challenge and won. However the new Solana tribe won the challenge. Sarah acted as the hostess and revealed that Trish Hegarty picked the extra bag of rice. This made it clear to the former members of the brains tribe that Garrett sought the Hidden Immunity Idol and to the members of the former Solana tribe that Morgan had lied about picking rice over the idol clue. All members of the former Solana tribe were quick to turn on each other and went to the Brains to make alliances. At the Immunity Challenge, Aparri won, despite a slow start.

At the next Reward Challenge, everyone was shocked that Solana lost two members: Cliff Robinson, who was blindsided, and Lindsey Ogle who quit soon after Tribal Council. Tasha faced off against Trish in the Reward Challenge but barely lost. Solana won the challenge and the right to raid Aparri's camp. Tony Vlachos and Woo Hwang later visited the camp and took the comfort and fishing items. Tony also gave Jeremiah a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. Jeremiah quickly discovered that the clue was for Solana's camp and thus worthless. Tasha sat out of the Immunity Challenge, which Aparri lost. In a careful decision, Alexis was unanimously voted because she was deemed more likely to flip than Jeremiah.

The next day, the Solana tribe arrived at the Aparri beach and the tribes merged. The newly merged tribe deemed themselves Solarrion. Sarah was approached by her former tribemates to join them. Sarah flaunted her status as swing vote, annoying Kass in the process. At the Immunity Challenge, Woo defeated Tony for immunity. Sarah adamantly wanted Tony out, but the Aparri Alliance preferred a less obvious person like Jefra Bland to avoid the idol. At Tribal Council, Tony revealed he had an idol. Despite avoiding both idols played by Tony and LJ McKanas, Kass flipped and Sarah was blindsided. For the Reward Challenge, Tasha was placed with Tony, Woo, Trish, and Kass, and subsequently lost the challenge. Woo managed to steal a clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol from Spencer. Despite everyone searching for the super idol, Spencer found it but it was an ordinary idol. Tasha came closing to winning immunity but lost to Spencer. Tony rallied the vote against Morgan because of laziness.

At this point, Tony wanted LJ out for being the biggest threat. For the next Reward Challenge, Tasha was teamed with Woo and Kass, who lost to Jeremiah, Spencer, and Tony. Tasha attempted to talk to LJ in order to get him and Jefra to flip, but he wanted to avoid making Tony more paranoid. Tasha won immunity over LJ and Tony. Tasha was happy to be safe because of the likelihood of going to the jury. At Tribal Council, the Aparri three joined in Tony's crusade against LJ and blindsided him. At the next reward, Tasha's alliance along with Jefra won the challenge for a feast at a local cave. Upset about LJ's blindside, Jefra agreed to flip. Tasha won immunity again. However, Jefra backed out of flipping. At Tribal Council, Tasha announced that she would vote for Tony should he make it to Final Tribal Council. Spencer played his idol but miscalculated on who to use it on, causing Jeremiah's elimination.

On the outs, Tasha decided to make an women's alliance or at least feign an alliance in front of Tony. At the same time, Spencer was praying on Tony's paranoia to turn on Jefra. The next Tree Mail more or less confirmed a Survivor Auction. Tasha waited until an advantage was offered. But when the advantage was offered, Tasha passed it up for a clue for the Hidden Immunity Idol. This was a mistake as the advantage turned out to be a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol and was the last item up for grabs, leaving Tasha upset. However, the advantage did not stop Tasha from winning her third individual Immunity Challenge in a row. Both Tasha and Spencer's efforts worked and Jefra was blindsided in a 4-3 vote. After Tribal Council, Kass was highly upset by Tony's decision and argued with Tony the next day. Tasha's team of Tony, Trish, & herself lost the Reward Challenge. When the others returned, Woo wanted to make a move and vote out Tony. At the Immunity Challenge, Tasha barely lost out immunity to Spencer. The four decided to split the vote between Tony and Trish because of the former's idol. However, Kass talked Woo out of the plan and Tasha was voted out in a 4-1-1 vote.

At final tribal, Tasha was the only person to cast a vote for Woo, who ultimately lost to Tony in a 8-1 vote.
