Lindi Rae Oest (born February 1, 1991) is a former contestant and winner on Endurance 3: Hawaii. She competed alongside her partner, Chris Vanderwier, as the Gray Team.

About[]

Lindi was born in Dover, Florida to Denny Oest, the principal of Brandon High School (in Brandon, Florida), and Kelle Oest. She is the first of two children. Lindi attended Durant High School where she was a part of the softball and volleyball teams, and graduated in 2009.

Endurance[]

Lindi was shown during the Casting Special in an audition tape, doing one hundred push ups before striking out the boys. The casting crew were impressed by how she could throw an underhand pitch, but also by her ability to break others' hearts. She got the call while at practice, and became one of twenty contestants to participate in the third season of Endurance.

Lindi was chosen by the guys to skip the Right to Stay. Though she may be chosen because she was not a threat, some consider it because of her looks.

The next day, a lot of the boys wanted Lindi as his partner, which some girls were turned off by. Sarah commented how it was only because of her looks, and claimed she didn't want Chris or Reece because they primarily wanted Lindi. In the partner selection, she caught the #2 ball, being the only girl with a "real low number". Then, she made a controversial move when she decided to bump Chris from Bryanah, which causes a rife between not only the girls, but the Orange, Gray, Purple, Red and Yellow Teams afterward. Despite saying she felt bad about it, Lindi and Chris had it planned all along, and became friends with Sarah and Nicole, all believing Bryanah was causing drama.

They lost in Ring of Fire, and was the second team eliminated in Bagging on You. Like her fellow alliance members, Lindi persuaded the other teams to vote off Yellow in the mission, to no avail. After Yellow won, they were spared from Temple, but almost went. In Squaring Off, like the other members of their alliance, they targeted Yellow, Green, and Brown, and became the last team standing, along with Orange. However, Gray decided to eliminate themselves, because, according to a confessional by Lindi, Yellow saved them the previous day and Orange can do whatever they want.

In Out on a Limb, Lindi was shown trying to tell Chris to not let go. However, about 22 minutes in, he fell. Later, she, along with Nicole, persuaded Bryanah to put Orange and Gray on the same superteam with Yellow, but instead, the Yellow Team split them apart. Yellow picked Gray and Purple for their superteam while Orange was placed with Red and Brown. In Bamboo Jungle, the race between the superteams was initially close until Vanetta got stuck and thus allowed Gray to get their first win mission. Lindi noted though that the discussion though on who to send to temple were a bit difficult. They collectively agreed to send Red but where as Yellow wanted to send Orange as the second team, Gray and Purple wanted to send Brown. Chris claimed neither Orange, himself of Lindi (who seemed to nod in agreement) wouldn't have sent Yellow if they were on the losing superteam. Thus, Red and Brown were sent to temple with Red ultimately getting eliminated.

Prior to the Pipeline mission, Lindi did a confessional claiming that they felt Yellow was untrustworthy and that was why she was targeting them. It was also announced by JD that the mission would be played for a special samadhi that winner could choose to keep if they want. In the mission itself, Gray excelled at it, getting all three of their balls in while none of the other teams could get a single one in, giving them their first solo win. They decided to keep the samadhi for themselves, feeling it might give them an advantage in the next temple mission. The samadhi allowed them the choice to take all of the pyramid pieces from another team or switch partners. Lindi noted it was a lot of power and hoped their decision wouldn't cause too much drama. Nicole told Lindi it wouldn't make sense to switch partners since they just did well in a mission. Demian and Yellow suggested to Lindi that taking Purple's pieces would be the smartest since they now have the lead (they acquired Red's piece earlier that day, bringing their total to 3). Gray decided to take Yellow's two pieces, tying them for first with Purple.

Portrayal & Relationships[]

Lindi appears to be a kind, competitive, and determined contestant. She was willing to do anything to win, as shown when she bumped Chris from Bryanah. Also, they were part of the same alliance that Purple, Orange, and Red were in, and targeted the Yellow Team alongside them.

She was best friends with Sarah and Nicole, and worked well with her teammate. Like the other girls, Lindi hated Bryanah and wanted her gone. However, it appeared they would've gotten along together had it not been for the drama.
