Survivor
Because of her life story, Bi was assigned to the David tribe. There, she quickly bonded with most of her tribe. When David lost the second Immunity Challenge, Bi, as an athlete, focused on keeping the tribe strong, and fought to eliminate Lyrsa Torres, whom she deemed "weak". However, she and Jessica Peet gave Gabby Pascuzzi the cold shoulder in the lead up to Tribal Council, causing Gabby to panic and flip. This allowed the opposing alliance to gain the numbers to blindside Jessica, Bi's main ally.
After the blindside, Bi turned against Gabby, attempting to bring in Christian Hubicki and Nick Wilson as numbers to blindside her. At the next Immunity Challenge on Day 9, however, Bi injured her MCL, though David was still able to win the challenge. Unfortunately, because of her injury and her career as an athlete, Bi decided that she could not continue the game and opted to quit the next day, shortly before the Tribe Switch.
