Chappies Chapman

Francois "Chappies" Chapman is a contestant from and .
In Immunity Island, Chappies frequently found himself on the outs socially due to his association with players like Paul Cupido and his habit of hoarding food to himself. Despite this, a few key strategic decisions such as a Hidden Immunity Idol play at the merge gave him enough room to try to win his way to the end on Immunity Challenges. After losing the Final Immunity Challenge, he was left exposed for the first time in a long time, and Nicole Wilmans voted him out for his impressive history of challenge performances.
Chappies returned for Return of the Outcasts, where he started in the majority on the Masu tribe. However, his reputation for sneakiness caught up to him and he was blindsided at the first Tribal Council.

Name: Chappies Chapman
Previous season: Survivor SA: Immunity Island S8
Age: 31
Hometown: Centurion
Chappies Chapman is addicted to growth and has a strong strive to improve in all aspects of his life, most notably in fitness, which he takes very seriously. He lives in Centurion with his wife and son and is involved in various online businesses, real estate, and the motivational speaking space.
Since becoming a father, Chappies has a renewed lease on life and is in constant pursuit of purpose. He is calmer and more at peace than before, partly due to his son's arrival – but also because no longer feels the need to prove his worth as a Survivor player.
From his previous experience, he learnt to think before he speaks and to avoid alienating people. That was his pattern at the start of his season – which ultimately put him on the back foot because he couldn't reconcile with them when he needed to work with them.https://www.dstv.com/m-net/en-za/show/survivor-south-africa/season/9/castaways/chappies_454/profile

===Return of the Outcasts===
Having been voted out after the merge in Immunity Island, Chappies was assigned to the Masu tribe. He was quickly brought into the Breakfast Club alliance, which consisted Danté De Villiers, Marian de Vos, Meryl Szolkeiwicz, Shane Hattingh and Steffi Brink. On Day 3, Danté warned PK Phetoe and Toni Tebbutt that Chappies working the game at night, as he and Palesa Tau saw him alongside Steffi looking for a Hidden Immunity Idol the night before.
After losing the first Immunity Challenge, Chappies was targeted by his own allies, with the exception of Steffi. Ultimately, he was blindsided in a 5–4–1 vote, becoming the first person to be voted out of the season.
