Hope was a member of the Gota tribe, along with nine other die-hard fans of the show. Following the first Reward Challenge, Hope joined an alliance with Eddie Fox, Reynold Toepfer, and Allie Pohevitz. However, the rest of the tribe feared the four's control (especially after Reynold found the Hidden Immunity Idol) and proceeded to blindside Allie at Gota's first Tribal Council, leaving Hope and her allies in the minority.

After Gota lost the third Immunity Challenge, the majority alliance targeted Hope for being the weakest of the three outsiders. Thus, they devised a plan where they would have the three men vote against Eddie and the three women vote against Hope, in case Reynold gave either of them the Idol. They would then vote Hope out in the revote. This move did not please Shamar Thomas, who informed Hope of the plan, urging her to vote for Eddie to prevent a tie.

Ultimately, Hope did not follow Shamar's advice and joined Reynold and Eddie in voting for him. As a result, there was a 3-3-3 tie between Hope, Eddie, and Shamar. In the revote, the majority alliance stuck to its plan and Hope was voted out 5-1.

Trivia

 * Hope is the second castaway to be voted out via revote after a 3-way tie, following Russell Hantz.
 * As Russell was sent to Redemption Island, she is the first castaway to be directly eliminated by such a revote.
