Stephanie Valencia

Stephanie was a contestant on Survivor: Redemption Island.

Survivor: Redemption Island
Stephanie was fortunate enough to not have had to have gone to the first two tribal councils, since Zapatera won the first two immunity challenges. However, Russell Hantz has started a small alliance with her and Krista Klumpp. After their tribe lost the third immunity challenge, she tried to convince Julie Wolfe to join her alliance, but was unsuccessful. She was very outspoken and angry at tribal council against the other alliance, and came off as being rude. She received three votes, in case Russell had the hidden idol, but he was sent home in a revote of 5-1. Back at camp, she continued to complain that Russell was voted out, and she and Krista never wanted nor managed to get on the good graces of their tribe.

At the third Redemption Island duel, Stephanie and Krista told Rob Mariano that if they made the merge, they were joining his tribe as an alliance and Rob was pleased with the offer. However, Zapatera lost the following immunity challenge and Krista Klumpp was sent home.

With both Russell and Krista out of the game, Stephanie seemed alone in the tribe. Zapatera lost the following immunity challenge, and the tribe questioned her loyalty and value to the them. Stephanie and fellow contestant David Murphy argued that she was more physically capable in the challenges than fellow contestant Sarita White. However, they decided Stephanie was untrustworthy and she was sent to Redemption Island in a 5-2 vote. She lost to Matt Elrod at the Redemption Island duel, and like Russell, she broke into tears upon her defeat. She finished in 14th place.
