Andrea Boehlke is a contestant from Survivor: Caramoan.
For standing out as one of the few points of resistance against Boston Rob in Redemption Island, Andrea returned as a "Favorite" in Caramoan, where she was almost immediately recognized as one of the most strategically aggressive and dynamic players in the game. She participated in a variety of impressive moves, including the pre-emptive blindsides of Francesca Hogi and Corinne Kaplan, as well as preventing her rival Malcolm Freberg from finding a Hidden Immunity Idol by making it her mission not to let him out of her sight. She also connected with almost all of her tribemates, giving her a backup alliance with Eddie Fox and causing Erik Reichenbach to give her a Hidden Immunity Idol. Ultimately, however, Andrea was voted out by her allies with the idol in her possession for the danger that her gameplay presented.

Pet Peeves: New York men who cat call women as we walk by. I don't understand what that accomplishes.
3 Words to Describe You: Quirky, driven and fierce.
If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why: 1) Yoga mat – It could serve as tarp/blanket/world's shortest slip 'n slide. 2) Juggling balls filled with rice – I've always wanted this. 3) A Unicorn, but not one that could fly.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: I guess I'm a smidge like Stephenie LaGrossa when it comes to being a force in challenges and being a bit of a tomboy.
Reason for Being on Survivor: I can't really get myself to turn down a second adventure of a lifetime, so here I go again!
Why You Think You'll "Survive" Survivor: Besides having the outdoors stuff down, I now have one season under my belt and aim to come out of the gate swinging. I'm hoping all of the crazy people will target each other right off the bat.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: There's so much luck involved, but overall I am pretty good at making friends/alliances and can be pretty sneaky if I want to be. I plan to come out strong and aggressive in an all or nothing fashion and hopefully it works in my favor.[1]

Like fellow Redemption Island returnee Phillip Sheppard, Andrea started the season ready to play a more aggressive game as opposed to merely being a pawn. Andrea and Phillip restarted the Stealth R Us alliance from their original season and managed to vote off past nemesis Francesca Hogi on Day 3 while recruiting Malcolm Freberg, Corinne Kaplan, John Cochran, and Dawn Meehan. Despite having a solid alliance of six, Andrea continued to play a strong strategic game, working on her friendship with volatile outsider Brandon Hantz along with trying to plot a plan to blindside Corinne, whom she didn't trust. Andrea was initially against Phillip giving names to everyone on Bikal (including outsiders Brenda Lowe and Erik Reichenbach) but she didn't really care afterward. She was one of the players most affected by Brandon's outrage, and along with the rest of the tribe voted him off at an impromptu Tribal Council.
Andrea ended up on Gota after the tribe switch and was in the majority along with Brenda, Erik, and Malcolm. Since the new Gota comprised of the stronger players won all the challenges, Andrea was immune until the merge.
Upon the merge, Andrea established a majority alliance consisting of all the Favorites along with a sub-alliance consisting of herself, Cochran, Dawn, and Phillip. When Dawn informed her of Corinne's plan to vote off Phillip in the final eleven vote, Andrea became part of the campaign to vote off Corinne, managing to get potential swing votes Brenda and Erik in on the plan and Corinne was successfully voted off 7-5 on Day 22. Andrea would start to grow closer to Eddie Fox and managed to obtain information from him that she was a target for the next vote. Afraid of being blindsided by a Hidden Immunity Idol, Andrea convinced her alliance of Cochran, Brenda, Dawn, Erik, Phillip, and now Sherri Biethman to vote off Michael Snow to play it safe. An idol would be played for Malcolm that Tribal Council, but it was ineffective as Michael was voted off.
After Phillip was blindsided, Andrea stayed loyal to the Stealth R Us remnants to get rid of Malcolm and Reynold Toepfer, going as far as following Malcolm around to prevent him from looking for another idol. However, after Andrea and Brenda's battle in the Immunity Challenge on Day 31, Andrea decided that Brenda was a big threat that needed to go. Erik found a Hidden Immunity Idol using Andrea's clue from the Survivor Auction and gave it to her, which made Andrea feel safe. However, when Andrea brought up blindsiding Brenda along with the fact that she had an idol, this concerned Cochran and Dawn. The Stealth R Us alliance minus Andrea made a plan to split the vote between Andrea and Eddie to get rid of Andrea's idol and they voted her off 3-2-2. Andrea finished in 7th place and became the first woman voted off in possession of an idol.
Andrea proved not to be bitter about her elimination in Ponderosa and at the Final Tribal Council. She asked Cochran to pick an animal that best suits how he played the game and he picked the chameleon. She reassured Dawn that she wasn't upset about how Dawn played the game, saying that she, in fact, was proud of her gameplay. Nonetheless, she joined the entire jury in voting for Cochran to win the title of Sole Survivor.
