Survivor: Pearl Islands
Though Johnson was not much seen during the early days of the competition, she was part of the Morgan majority alliance that comprised herself, Tijuana Bradley, Ryan Opray, Osten Taylor and Andrew Savage. While Morgan suffered an early five-challenge losing streak against the rival Drake tribe, the Morgan five-person alliance eliminated Ryan Shoulders and Lillian Morris, immediately dwindling the tribe to them five. Darrah and the rest of the Morgans then experienced their first victory, thanks to Burton Roberts who threw the Day 12 Immunity Challenge to supposedly eliminate Christa Hastie, but eventually backfired at him, causing his elimination instead. Roberts' demise sent Drake into a losing streak, evening up the tribe with five members each after Day 18.

After losing the surprise challenge against the The Outcasts (consisted by the first six ejected contestants) in Day 19, Darrah, Andrew, Ryan O., and Tijuana granted Osten's wish to voluntarily quit the game. The same night, the last person eliminated by the majority, Lillian returned into the game. The next day, the two tribes merged into the Balboa tribe. While still being resented by Andrew, Lillian flipped into the Drake alliance, Darrah's alliance crumbled, with Andrew and Ryan O. being voted out. Despite the Drake's majority over Morgan, Burton and Jon planned to eliminate Rupert Boneham, whose popularity made him the biggest threat. With this, the two recruited the remaining Morgans to oust him. Though successful, Darrah's only remaining ally Tijuana went home next.

Before Tijuana's elimination Darrah had shown that despite her small frame, she conquer in challenges by winning three consecutive Immunity Challenges, making her tribemate brand her as a new threat. In Day 36, Sandra Diaz-Twine wanted to usurp Burton and Jon by making an all-girl alliance with Lillian and Darrah. Burton was disposed (for a second time), leaving Jon alone.

In a high-stakes Immunity Challenge, where the Jury will work as a unit to try to forfeit the four remaining players immunity (while the players will have to fend for themselves), the Jury won, thus confiscating the Immunity Necklace. Darrah was next to go because of her recent dominance in challenges.

At the Final Tribal Council, she voted for Sandra, who eventually won the season.

Post-Survivor
Darrah became a candidate for the title of Sexiest Survivor Female, only to lose to Amber Brkich.
