TriviaEdit

• When the Tandang tribe painted their initials on a tree at their camp, Lisa put her initials as "LC", using her married name Lisa Cauble, to hide her identity. This was despite the fact that she had divorced her husband Steven Cauble less than a month before the game began.
• Being a fan of The Facts of Life as a young adult, returning contestant Michael Skupin recognized her, but could not call her by her stage name Blair because it would throw her off-guard.
  • Returning contestant Jonathan Penner also recognized her, and later revealed her identity to everyone at the Final Tribal Council, although he was told of her identity by Denise Stapley.
• Lisa is the first contestant to appear in an interview prior to the airing of their elimination episode. Lisa was on the Jeff Probst Show while Survivor: Philippines was in its midway point.
• Lisa is the first new player to win the Fan Favorite Award in a season to have returning contestants.
• Lisa and Michael Skupin are the second pair to tie for second place at the Final Tribal Council after Dreamz and Cassandra Franklin of Survivor: Fiji.
  • Unlike Dreamz and Cassandra, Lisa and Skupin never received votes against them, and received votes for them.
• Lisa is the first person ever to defeat Jeff Probst in a survivor Trivia Game.
  • During the game, there was a Facts of Life question that lead to Jeff's loss.
• Lisa was considered to return to Survivor: Caramoan as a Favorite, but wasn't chosen to return since it would be difficult to be on back-to-back seasons since she was a mother. 
• Lisa is also the only castaway to reach the Final Three without winning an Immunity Challenge in Survivor: Philippines, and the only one among the Final 7 to be so.
  • Lisa is the highest-ranked person from Philippines to not win an Immunity Challenge.
