Known for her refusal to help row as her tribe made its way to camp on the first day, Sarah was a close ally of Rob Mariano, and was in the majority alliance at the beginning of the game.

Survivor[]
Sarah started the game on the Maraamu tribe. When the tribe was initially rowing into the beach, Sarah sat on the raft and did not help to paddle. This angered some of the tribe, some of them even comparing her to Cleopatra. Sarah quickly bonded with Rob Mariano and they flirted during the first few days. Maraamu lost the first Immunity Challenge, and Sarah voted with Rob, Hunter Ellis, Gina Crews, and Patricia Jackson to vote off Peter Harkey, who was "weirding the tribe out." Sean Rector and Vecepia Towery voted against Sarah for her lack of contribution around camp.
Sarah's lack of work ethic and general laziness angered Patricia, Hunter, and Gina, who were working hard to keep the Maraamu tribe strong. They lost the next Immunity Challenge, and Rob, Sean, Vecepia, and Sarah voted Patricia out for being the weakest physically. Once again, Sarah received votes, this time from Hunter, Gina, and Patricia.
Maraamu continued its losing streak and Hunter approached Rob about voting off Sean for being lazy around camp. Sean was Rob's buddy, and Rob did not like that. He instead turned the tables on Hunter and blindsided him, with Sarah's help. This isolated Gina, who still voted for Sarah along with Hunter.
A surprise tribe swap occurred, and Sarah remained on Maraamu with Gina, while Rob, Vecepia, and Sean were swapped with original Rotu members Neleh Dennis, Paschal English, and Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien. Maraamu lost yet again, and Sarah could not escape the votes this time. Gina was quick to turn on her and vote with the Rotus to eliminate Sarah in a 4-1 vote.
