Michele was a castaway on Survivor: Kaôh Rōng and she was originally a member of the Gondol (Beauty) tribe.
From her Survivor Wikia page:
“A quiet contestant for much of the game, Michele stayed upbeat and made solid social relationships with her peers and harnessed them to secure a place in the majority alliance. She then won a crucial Final Immunity Challenge, as well as an unprecedented advantage to strip a juror of their right to attend and vote in the Final Tribal Council. While she was not known to be the most strategically capable of the three finalists, Michele's social game, growth, and overall sincerity won her the title of Sole Survivor.”
Michele formed an alliance early on with Anna and Julia. After a tribe swap, she aligned more closely with fellow beauty Nick. The two of them hold the Survivor record for surviving the most days in the game without attending a Tribal Council, with 22 days. She and Nick are two of only ten castaways to reach the merge without attending Tribal Council. She is also the first winner to never visit tribal before the merge, only attending 6 regular Tribal Councils, fewer than any other finalist. Michele is the least vulnerable female winner, only eligible to be voted out 4 times in the game, with only Tom Westman in Palau being less vulnerable than her.
Winning Individual Immunity twice, she is the only Koah Rong castaway to win more than one individual immunity. She is the first and only castaway to eliminate a juror and she is tied with Natalie Anderson for most challenges (tribal & individual) won by a female winner, with 13 overall. Michele was the third winner from New Jersey within the 5 past seasons before that, with Natalie A. and Tony also being from New Jersey. She is currently the youngest winner, as of her date of birth. Michele spent some of her winnings paying off her car and other debt, as well as on her family and friends. In June 2016, a month after Survivor: Koah Rong finished airing, Michele attended an open casting call for The Bachelor but did not get cast. The cast was finally released a few days ago, with Michele clearly not in the running to fall in love with Nick Viall. However, a food-truck driver named Michelle (with two Ls) made the cast instead. Although her own occupation was listed as a bartender during the show, Michele hadn’t been bartending for quite a while when the show started filming.
Her win reminds me of Danni or Natalie W, where the editors hardly shown them from the majority of the game, so when they did win, people were upset at them. Maybe she didn't give them much to work with like Danni purposely did (she hid things like her strategy from her confessionals), or maybe she was just dull, but I feel like they could've highlighted over over Anna during the first part of the game. I think on paper she played a great game, but Aubry had the story arc, so it was somewhat disappointing, although Michele herself was a nice person.
One of the worst winners ever, completely undeserved, didn't do shit the entire time. Makes me never want to watch Kaoh Rong again because I know it will be a complete waste because she ends up winning it due to one of the bitterest juries ever.

i always believe bitter juries are justified but in this case kyle and jason were a bunch of big babies about the whole situation, and i cant respect debbie's vote either cuz she got outplayed
Aubry was overrated. There was ABSOLUTELY no reason for Debbie to be blindsided the way she was. She wasn't a strategic or a physical threat, and it was only due to Aubry's paranoia.
