During her first time on Survivor, the self-proclaimed "Shii-Devil" managed to gross out some of her tribemates when she consumed chicken parts that, as she explained, may not be normally eaten in Western cultures. Shii Ann having spent time in Asia and being of Asian heritage had grown accustomed to eating them. Shii kept quiet for the most part, but had no compunctions about telling people like it is when confronted. This gave her a reputation as being a "bitch" by some of her fellow tribemates, and caused her dislike for several of her own tribe members. A new twist in the show during the Thailand season happened when Jeff Probst told the two tribes that they would be living together from that point on, which contestants assumed meant that the two tribes had merged into one, as had happened during past seasons. But, unlike past seasons, this was not a tribal "merge"--Probst explained at the next immunity challenge that although they were all living together at one camp, they were still two separate tribes. This new twist is ultimately why Shii Ann was voted off during Thailand, since she had quickly abandoned her original tribe members for the other tribe members when she assumed a merge had happened. Survivor can mean different things in different contexts. ...

In All-Stars, Shii made it to the final six and was the final surviving member of her original tribe. Due to tribal merges and rearrangings--there were initially three tribes of six during All-Stars, as opposed to the usual two tribes of eight--Shii and her allies Lex and Kathy were picked off one by one by the Rob Mariano-Amber Brkich alliance. Shii's desperate attempts to sway "Big Tom" Buchanan, Rupert Boneham, and/or Jenna Lewis to side with her against what she termed the "Power Couple" of Rob and Amber were unsuccessful as each of the other three believed Rob had their best interests at heart. Rob Mariano (born December 25, 1975) is from Canton, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. ...

Knowing she would be voted out, Shii Ann followed in the tradition of past contestants, Richard Hatch, Jon "Jonny Fairplay" Dalton, and Sandra Diaz-Twine, by taking Survivor strategy to a cunning new level. At Tribal Council, she took the opportunity to expose the two "Power Couples" (Rob-Amber and Rupert-Jenna, who also had a strong alliance) to each other and to Big Tom, so that no one could pretend not to know of the alliances. She also "outed" Amber as being the person most likely to win the game because no one recognized her deception as they did Rob's, and warned others to be wary of her. Richard Hatch (born April 8, 1961) is the winner of the first American Survivor series, set in Pulau Tiga. ... Jon Dalton, also known as Jonny Fairplay, is a professional wrestler and former art consultant from Danville, Virginia who came in third place as a competitor on Survivor: Pearl Islands. ...

Amber Brkich did go on to win the million dollar prize. She was then told she could choose another player to receive a free automobile. She gave the car to Shii Ann who she credited as being the swing vote in her 4-3 victory.
