Geneva Mendoza Cruz is a contestant from Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Doubles Showdown. She competed alongside her ex-husband, KC Montero.
Unable to cope with living at camp and the ethical dilemma in playing the game, Geneva struggled to compete and took a toll on her emotional state. After an argument with KC, Geneva decided to quit and left the game on day 2.

Survivor[]
Though separated, Geneva remained in friendly terms with her ex-husband KC Montero. They were selected second by the rugby duo Arnold Aninion and John Odulio to be in the Bulan tribe.
While seemingly in a good position in the tribe with her and KC being athletic, Geneva quickly struggled to get acclimated with the ethics of the game and island life. Distraught, she pulled herself from the game on Day 2. The producers however let KC stay and compete as an individual castaway.
