Survivor: One World

“	(...) She's the first one who's gonna go. First one to go!	”
—Alicia Rosa, on Christina

Christina caught the attention of Alicia Rosa when she was trying to make a deal with the men of Manono tribe, which brought a big cat fight between the two girls at their first tribal council. Christina and Alicia then maintain a big feud for each other for a very long time in the game. The Salani alliance, which consisted of Alicia, Chelsea Meissner, Sabrina Thompson, Kat Edorsson and Kim Spradlin, started to pick off the outsiders, leading to Nina's elimination on day 5. Christina and the rest of Salani tribe survived when they won the next immunity challenge. When Salani lost the immunity challenge on day 11, Christina was presumably set as the locked vote-out. However, the Manono tribe decided to gave up their immunity to take out one of their own; therefore, Christina escaped another tribal council.

Christina, Alicia, and Monica Culpepper were switched to the Manono tribe after the tribe swap in day 12. Alicia formed an alliance with Manono's leader Colton Cumbie to blindside Monica. Christina was then left outside the alliance and verbally bullied by Alicia and Colton. After Manono lost the next immunity challenge, Christina was targeted by Alicia, Colton, and even Tarzan (to an extent). Fortunately, Colton was medically evacuated on the day of Tribal Council, helping Christina survive one more elimination.

The two tribes merged. The original Salani stuck together, formed a women's alliance, and started to pick off the men. When there were only two men left, Troyzan Robertson attempted to fake a hidden immunity idol to fool the women. The alliance decided to split the vote between Troyzan and Christina to prevent the power of the idol and they told Christina everything. Learning that her life was close to the chopping block, Christina then tried to shake things up by telling Troyzan about her situation and asked him to vote with her against Chelsea. But instead of forming an alliance with Christina, Troyzan found a better chance by going against her. However, the plan didn't work out and Troyzan was voted off, Christina only one vote away from being eliminated.

Christina made it to the final five. At that point, she and Alicia were no longer enemies, but in fact very close allies. The alliance between Kim, Chelsea, and Sabrina stood strong and voted out Alicia. Christina again found herself on the chopping block. She was very close to winning the final immunity challenge, but unfortunately lost to Kim. Knowing there was nothing more she could do, Christina accepted her fate and was voted out unanimously.
