Survivor: Vanuatu
As a member of the all-female Yasur tribe, Lisa found herself siding with the younger women in a tribal division based on age. At their first Tribal Council, Lisa tried to vote out Leann Slaby with the rest of her alliance, but the older members of the tribe blindsided Dolly Neely who refused to commit to either alliance and was considered a swing-vote.

Lisa was in a comfortable position at the time of Yasur's second Tribal Council and the clash between young and old played out again. However, on this occasion, Lisa sided with the older women to vote of Mia Galeotalanza as she was blamed for disturbing the peace around camp. On Day 11, the two tribes were mixed up, with Yasur gaining Travis Sampson and Rory Freeman. At the women's first opportunity, they mustered in numbers and voted of Travis as he was caught communicating with his old tribe-mates at a challenge.

Yasur went on to lose a second consecutive Immunity Challenge and was sent to Tribal Council once again. Rory remained as the last man on Yasur and was fighting hard to keep himself in the game, pushing every button he could to "find a crack" in the women's alliance. Luckily for him, Ami Cusack flexed her alliance-controlling muscle as she picked up on a loose line from Lisa. Ami and Lisa were going to gather food and Lisa wanted Ami to show her where it was "just in case". Ami picked up on Lisa's slip and arranged her removal from the game, eliminating her 4-2.
