Michelle Yi

Piper Michelle Yi was a 22-year-old Student from Cincinnati, Ohio when she competed on Survivor: Fiji as the youngest contestant of the season. A University of Cincinnati fashion design student in the DAAP program who was a competitive rock climber, Michelle was known as the cheerleader of her tribes and was well-liked by everyone. She was blindsided on Day 24 in a 3-2 vote due to the Group Tribal Council twist at the merge after mentioning Dreamz as an unknown quantity. Tragically, Michelle was the victim of an apparent anti-Asian hate crime in October 2021, suffering a stabbing and beating attack but surviving with stitches.
