Tiffany Nicole Ervin (2024)

Tiffany Nicole Ervin is a contestant from Survivor 46.

As one of three castaways who survived the disunited Yanu tribe, Tiffany made it to the merge with a Hidden Immunity Idol and two solid allies in Kenzie Petty and Q Burdette. However, Tiffany's alliance with Q broke apart explosively at the final ten, when he attempted, then recanted, a move on her before goading the rest of his tribe to vote him out. With Q having told the fellow castaways about her idol, Tiffany was blindsided at the final eight after declining to play her idol due to a false sense of security that the tribe was unanimously against Q.

Name three of your favorite hobbies: Painting/Photography. Does eating out count as a hobby?
List three adjectives that best describe yourself: Curious, passionate, artistic.
How would your friends describe you? My friends always tell me that I live in a land of rainbows and unicorns. (Which pretty much means I lack situational awareness sometimes and see things from a rose-colored lens, even when I shouldn't.- I disagree though lol.) I'm a habitual procrastinator. My friends also know that I'm deeply dedicated to and passionate about the things and people I love. I have absolutely no filter (This sometimes gets me into trouble) and I am usually the life of the party.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I was laid off of my job of six years at the top of 2020. And, instead of scrambling to find another job that I likely wouldn't have been happy with, I had the courage to follow my gut and pursue being a full-time artist instead. So far, things have been working out even better than I expected.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I love love love playing the lottery, lol. I'm actually afraid that if there's an opportunity to gamble or take a big chance on Survivor I'm the player that won't be able to resist.
What past Survivor would you play the game most like? Jeremy or Shan^[2]

Tiffany started the game on the Yanu tribe, where she quickly bonded with tribemates Kenzie Petty and Q Burdette. During the first few days of the game, Tiffany found a Beware Advantage and solidified a four-person alliance with David Jelinsky, but their confidence in Jelinsky wavered after he displayed a pattern of non-commitment. When Yanu lost the first Immunity Challenge, Tiffany followed the clue in her Beware Advantage to retrieve a Hidden Immunity Idol. More urgently, Tiffany's alliance had to decide whether to vote out Jelinsky for his fickleness, or Jess Chong for her poor challenge performance. At Tribal Council, Jelinsky's refusal to own up to his errors prompted Tiffany's alliance to vote him out over Jess. After Yanu lost yet another Immunity Challenge, Tiffany faced another threat in the form of Bhanu Gopal's excessive indiscretions. However, at Yanu's second Tribal Council, the tribe unanimously voted out Jess over Bhanu. Although the tribe's losing streak continued, it was granted a reprieve when Nami's Randen Montalvo was evacuated.

During this time, Tiffany seriously contemplated blindsiding her primary ally Kenzie, whom she viewed as a social threat. However, when Bhanu confessed that he had divulged valuable secrets on his journey with Nami's Liz Wilcox and Siga's Ben Katzman, an infuriated Tiffany committed to voting him out at the next opportunity. This came about when Yanu lost their fourth straight Immunity Challenge, and a despondent Tiffany joined her tribemates in verbally voting out Bhanu. Fortunately, Yanu won the final tribal Immunity Challenge; thereafter, Q was selected to go on a journey, where he forged a cross-tribal alliance with Nami's Hunter McKnight and Siga's Tim Spicer and agreed to bring in Tiffany as his plus-one into the alliance. The four alliance members were joined by Tevin Davis, whom Hunter roped in, and Maria Shrime Gonzalez, whom Tim pulled in.

Upon the commencement of the individual phase, the so-called "Journey Six" alliance agreed to work together to vote out an "easy" target in Moriah Gaynor; however, this decision came with its own set of difficulties, as Tim showed immense hesitation in committing to voting out a Siga member. Tim's red flags continued into the Double Elimination, when Q's irritation with him prompted the Yanus to band together and dispose of him. The cross-tribal alliance continued to splinter at the final ten, when Tiffany's suggestion to vote out Maria caused Q to doubt her allegiance to the Journey Six. This prompted him to expose to the former Sigas Maria and Charlie Davis that she had an idol in an attempt to blindside Tiffany. However, Q's plans fell apart explosively at Tribal Council, when he unexpectedly asked his tribemates to vote him out. During the scramble, Tiffany found out about Q divulging her secret. Despite the furor towards Q, the tribe followed through on their earlier plan of voting out Tevin for being a big threat.

An unappeased Tiffany angrily confronted Q at camp, effectively putting an end to her and Kenzie's strategic relationship with Q. Unbeknownst to Tiffany, Kenzie had begun contemplating turning on her and hoped to use Q being a public enemy as a distraction. After losing the final nine Immunity Challenge, Tiffany believed that the tribe's knowledge about her idol made her too much of a threat. She thus told Charlie that she would play the idol just to get rid of her albatross, prompting him to halt the plan to blindside her. The tribe switched their target to Hunter for being a physical threat and, later, for revealing that he also had an idol. In a split vote, Hunter was voted out with his idol, while Tiffany keenly decided to hold on to hers. This gave Tiffany a confidence boost heading into the final eight, where she was picked by Q to join him on the "biggest reward of the season", an Applebee's feast at the sanctuary. Despite the gesture of goodwill, Tiffany had no intention to rekindle her relationship with Q and committed to voting him out after he lost the next Immunity Challenge. Meanwhile, Charlie and Maria once again mooted their plan to blindside Tiffany, roping in Ben, Q, and Liz to give them the numbers to execute. With Q's poor reputation providing the smokescreen, Charlie and Maria were able to pull the wool over Tiffany's eyes as they blindsided her at Tribal Council with her idol in her pocket.

At Final Tribal Council, Tiffany vouched for her number-one ally Kenzie and gave her her vote, helping her to win the title of Sole Survivor in a 5-3-0 jury vote over Charlie and Ben.
