Sandra Diaz-Twine (born July 30, 1974) is an American television personality who became known for her appearances on the reality game show Survivor. She won the first two seasons she appeared on, Survivor: Pearl Islands and Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, making her the show's only two-time winner. She recently returned for the 34th season of Survivor: Survivor Game Changers where she placed 15th, thus marking the first time she has been voted out. She was born in Stamford, Connecticut and currently lives with her husband and two children while working as a secretary for a law firm in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Sandra seemed like an early target for her lack of physical strength and inability to swim, but her knowledge of the Spanish language and her resourcefulness, which helped their tribe Drake gather much needed resources from local traders at the start of the game, put her in good stead with the majority of her tribe. She eventually formed an alliance with Rupert Boneham, Christa Hastie, Trish Dunn, and Johnny Fairplay. Sandra was the first person to sit out of a challenge and the first to raid on Morgan's camp as part of the reward, where she not only took their tarp, but sabotaged their shelter. When Drake lost the fourth and fifth immunity challenges, the alliance voted out the minority alliance's Burton Roberts and Michelle Tesauro. When Drake lost the sixth immunity challenge, the originally-targeted Shawn Cohen was saved when Sandra turned the alliance against Trish for instigating an attempted blindside of Rupert.
With the Drake and Morgan tribes even at five members each, they were shocked when the six contestants who had been previously voted out came back into the game as a third tribe, in a turn of events called "Outcast Twist." When the tribe of outcasts competed against the Drake and Morgan tribes and subsequently won the immunity challenge, two of the outcasts were allowed to return to the game. At the same time, both Drake and Morgan were forced to vote out a tribe member. In a game-changing move, Sandra, Rupert, and Christa, unsure about whether to send home Shawn, the last minority alliance member left, or Jon, who betrayed them previously together with Trish, asked them to publicly campaign for their spot. The alliance eventually eliminated Shawn, and received Burton as a replacement from the outcasts group.
