Survivor: Pearl Islands
Trish Dunn was placed on the Drake tribe after it was revealed that the castaways were only taking the clothes on their backs. At the Panamanian market, Sandra Diaz-Twine's resourcefulness on top of her Spanish speaking ability helped the tribe gain a lot of supplies. During which, Sandra believed that a woman became sexually attracted to Trish. Drake dominated challenges early on and the tribe prospered. The tribe was also allowed to Loot the opposing Morgan tribe. Trish looted a lantern from them.

Despite the winning streak, everyone was getting annoyed with one another and wanted to vote someone out. Burton Roberts wanted to throw a challenge to vote out the perceived weakest member of the tribe, Christa Hastie. The tribe was against the plan, especially Rupert Boneham. None the less, the tribe followed through with the plot. A twist, however, allowed Morgan to kidnap one of the Drake members. They chose Rupert. At Tribal Council, the tribe turned the tables on Burton by voting him out.

After Burton's ouster, Shawn Cohen started talking about how he wanted Burton out like the others. The tribe didn't believe him. The tribe lost the Reward Challenge and Rupert returned to Drake. The tribe was worried that Rupert might have spilled many secrets during his time with Morgan. The next Immunity Challenge was a gross food eating contest (or in this case a drinking contest). Michelle Tesauro was told to act like a decoy, so she can defeat Morgan in a tiebreaker. However, she didn't follow orders and easily drunk her smoothie, which lead to the Drake tribe losing the challenge when Snadr was chosen to represent the tribe in the tie-breaker round. Angered by her ego, Jon Dalton campaigned for Michelle's ouster. Michelle tried to convince the others to vote out the unproductive Shawn. However, because she was blamed for the loss and being Burton's only loyal ally, Michelle was unanimously voted out.

The tribe worked on raising shelter. Christa won the tribe the Reward Challenge and a barbecue feast. However, They lost the Shoulder the Load challenge for immunity. The loss was partially because Jon told Morgan that they threw the first challenge that Morgan won. This really irritated the Morgan leader, Andrew Savage. After the loss, Trish wanted Rupert out for his connection with the Morgan tribe. Jon was on board with the plan. However, Sandra turned on the tables on Trish, and Trish was blindsided by a 4-2 vote. Trish was not out of the game yet because she returned with the past five people voted out before her as part of the The Outcasts tribe. Because of having an extra member and using their "buffs" to help them, they won the challenge. This allowed two members of the Outcasts tribe to reenter the game. Unfortunately, Trish only received one vote to reenter the game from Lillian Morris. However, the two people she voted for, Burton and Lillian were the ones who returned to the game.

Voting History
In What the...? (Part 2), Trish voted for two people she wanted to bring back into the game, while Lillian wanted her to return. Her votes are not enough, thus eliminating her permanently from the game.
