Trish Dunn

Patricia Harkins "Trish" Dunn is a contestant from Survivor: Pearl Islands.

Beginning as a quiet and under the radar character of Drake, Trish briefly emerged as a devious force by conspiring with the notorious Jonny Fairplay to oust powerhouse Rupert Boneham as she felt that Rupert might have given away secrets during his time at Morgan. However, her plan backfired and she was eliminated by the counter-machinations of the pro-Rupert faction led by Sandra Diaz-Twine and Christa Hastie.

Survivor[]

Trish started the game on the Drake tribe, which dominated the early challenges. Because of their streak of Reward Challenge victories, the tribe was allowed to loot the opposing Morgan tribe several times; Trish had the opportunity to loot a lantern from them.

Despite the winning streak, everyone was getting annoyed with one another and wanted to vote someone out. Burton Roberts wanted to throw an Immunity Challenge to vote out the perceived weakest member of the tribe, Christa Hastie. The tribe was against the plan, especially Rupert Boneham. Nonetheless, the tribe followed through with the plot. At Tribal Council, the tribe turned the tables on Burton by voting him out.

While Drake remained strong in Reward Challenges, they embarked on a losing streak in Immunity Challenges. After losing the sixth Immunity Challenge, Trish wanted Rupert out for his connection with the Morgan tribe. Jon Dalton was on board with the plan. However, Sandra Diaz-Twine turned the vote onto Trish, and she was blindsided by a 4-2 vote.

Trish was not out of the game yet because she returned with the past five people voted out before her as part of The Outcasts tribe. Because of having an extra member and using their "buffs" to help them, they won the challenge. This allowed two members of The Outcasts tribe to reenter the game. Unfortunately, Trish only received one vote to reenter the game from Lillian Morris. However, the two people she voted for, Burton and Lillian, were the ones who returned to the game.
