Katrina Rainy Mae "Kat" Edorsson[1][2] is a contestant from Survivor: One World and Survivor: Blood vs. Water.
In One World, Kat was best known for being young and naive, causing her to be blindsided by her own alliance at the final seven. She is also known for stating "blindsides are fun" moments before being blindsided.
Kat returned for Blood vs. Water alongside her boyfriend and Big Brother winner Hayden Moss. She appeared to be in a comfortable position after the tribe switch. However, her decision to tell her allies that she wanted to target her alliance member Monica Culpepper resulted in her being blindsided instead. She finished in 14th place after losing the next Redemption Island duel.

One World[]
Kat began the game on the all-female Salani tribe, where she was quickly recruited into an alliance with Alicia Rosa, Kim Spradlin, Chelsea Meissner, and Sabrina Thompson. Despite being in the majority, Kat faced the threat of being eliminated after she failed to follow directions during the second Immunity Challenge on Day 5, jumping into the water several times when she wasn't supposed to. However, Kat's alliance remained loyal to her and voted out Nina Acosta. At the Day 12 Tribe Switch, Kat remained on Salani and later became a member of the merged Tikiano tribe.
At the merge, Kat continued to aid her alliance in eliminating the men from the game. Prior to the Day 28 Reward Challenge, Kat made a deal with Kim that if one of them won reward, they would pick the other, in order to keep Troyzan Robertson from plotting. However, Kat was angered when Kim went back on their deal by choosing Chelsea and Alicia over her. Troyzan made use of this by telling Kat that she was at the bottom of her alliance, further upsetting her. Ultimately, Troyzan's manipulation managed to get to Kat, who didn't want to be seen as a weak player and a follower. Despite considering flipping on her alliance, Kat stuck by the women to vote out Troyzan, who patted her on the back and whispered to her "do it" before departing.
On Day 31, Kat and her cousin Robby managed to win the Loved Ones Reward Challenge, and Kat chose to take Alicia and Kim (along with their loved ones) with her. This move angered Sabrina, who believed Tarzan Smith and Christina Cha deserved to go on the reward more. With this, a sub-alliance started against Kat. Kat fought hard during the next Immunity Challenge, and begged Kim to let her win, but Kim didn't give up and won.
After the challenge, Alicia pitched the idea of voting out Kat, but Kim was initially against it, believing Sabrina to be a bigger threat, but eventually relented. At Tribal Council, Kat's naivete and selfishness were hot topics, much to her chagrin. Chelsea even pointed out that Kat constantly used her age as an excuse for her actions. Before the vote, Kat commented about how she thought blindsides were "fun". That night, Kat was blindsided in a 6-1 vote, and sobbed as she walked away from Tribal Council.
At the Final Tribal Council, she expressed she was hurt by Kim for voting her out. But instead of fully berating her, Kat told everyone that she would be having open heart surgery when she turned 24, and she didn't tell anyone this to avoid them giving her sympathy jury votes. By saying so, she told the jurors to not focus on their anger and to forgive instead. Ultimately, Kat was one of seven jurors who awarded Kim their votes, giving her the title of Sole Survivor for her masterful strategy.

Blood vs. Water[]
Kat entered the game with her boyfriend and former Big Brother winner Hayden Moss. She was placed on Galang along with the other returning players, while Hayden was placed on Tadhana. Although Galang won the first four Immunity Challenges, drama did stir up when Colton Cumbie started to spread rumors that Kat and Tina Wesson had a conflict. Luckily for Kat, the tribe did not believe his lie and she remained safe for the first ten days.
At the Day 14 Tribe Switch, Kat remained on Galang. Despite all of the Galang women agreeing to remain allied and vote off Vytas Baskauskas, Kat grew annoyed with Monica Culpepper's frequent talk of strategy and pondered voting her out over Vytas. She voiced her plan to Tina, who immediately alerted Monica. Upon being confronted by Monica, Kat denied ever plotting against her, even though Monica knew she was lying. Upset by Kat's betrayal, Monica convinced the rest of the tribe to vote her off instead of Vytas, and despite Kat's best efforts to save herself, she was sent to Redemption Island in a unanimous 5-1 vote.
Before her duel began the next day, Kat begged Hayden to take her spot on Redemption Island, but he declined, telling Kat that he had a better chance of winning the game then she did and she tearfully agreed. Though Kat started off in the duel well, John Cody and Laura Morett both pulled ahead and beat her for 1st and 2nd place respectively, permanently eliminating Kat from the game.
