Kassandre "Kass" Bastarache is a contestant from Survivor Québec 2 and Survivor: Australia v The World.
In Survivor Québec 2, Kassandre played an impressive game, winning two individual immunity challenges and only having one vote cast against her the entire season, which she negated with a Hidden Immunity Idol. While she was able to reach the Final Tribal Council, she received no jury votes, joining André Savard in losing unanimously against Ghyslain Octeau-Piché.
Kassandre represented Survivor Québec in Australia v The World, where she aligned with the non-American members of the World tribe and formed a secondary all-female alliance with Cirie Fields, Lisa Holmes, and Parvati Shallow. Her network of connections and possession of a secret Hidden Immunity Idol led her to enter the merge in a favorable position. However, distrust gradually built between Kassandre and Parvati, which came to a head on Day 11, after Parvati sniffed out the non-Americans' conspiracy to blindside her. A fatal idol misplay on Lisa sealed Kassandre's fate as she was eliminated in 8th place.

Competitive and a challenge beast, Kass played Survivor Quebec where she came runner-up.
Kass wants her tribe to underestimate her and use the fact that English is her second language to make them think she can't keep up. She says, "My game plan to win is playing the role of this sweet little Canadian girl. I had a perfect game, I was loyal, I was good at it except for the fact that I didn't win."
A web editor, Kass played her season in the Philippines and is ready to try her second season on the world stage in Samoa.
She says, "It's going to be fast, it's going to be intense and it's going to be fun.
"There are so many players I'd love to face but I really love the character of George. I love how he thinks, how he plays and pretends he's a king with a kingdom and his legacy. I would love to play with him out here."
After going so far the first time, Kass is hoping to use the skills she learnt to progress her game and knows the importance of a strong social game and adaptability. She says, "I have imposter syndrome in life and I attribute a lot of my success to luck but on Survivor, I was in control of my game and my successes. I owe them to myself!"[3]Survivor[]
