Stephanie Katz

Stephanie Katz is a contestant from ​Surviving Reelfoot Lake.

Known for her loudness and potentially abrasive personality with some of her fellow castaways, Stephanie immediately found herself on the outs of a four person alliance, with episode one's titles being attributed to her loudness. Ultimately she wasn't able to escape the target on her back and became the first person to leave the series with less than the majority of the votes due to an idol play by Jaylen.

Stephanie quickly found herself on the outs with Corey after rubbing most of her tribe the wrong way with her personality. Ke Andre was particularly disturbed constantly calling her out for her big mouth. Although she was on the bottom of her tribe she believed to have Evan as her little spy and potentially Jared as well.

Copiah ended up being immune until the merge solving her problems temporarily but at the merge thing began to come to a head. Stephanie's closest ally Corey was blindsided at the merge after the votes were split between Ke Andre and Corey. Leaving her all alone and frustrated, she realized that Evan was behind Corey and herself's demise.

At the immunity challenge, Evan was tasked with taking care of Jared's pants leading to Stephanie and Evan discovering the hidden immunity idol in Jared's possession. Jared feeling threatened by having his idol discovered ended up using it unnecessarily at tribal council, along with Jaylen who negated 3 votes against him leaving Stephanie with 3 votes against, and sending her to the jury.

At the final tribal council, Stephanie decided to reward Jared with her vote despite there being some tension between the two, believing he had played the better game regardless of what happened between them.

Trivia
