==Survivor==
Jamie began the game on the Yaxhá tribe, where he quickly formed a bond with Stephenie LaGrossa (despite initially being annoyed that she returned) and Rafe Judkins. He voted with the majority to eliminate Morgan McDevitt and Brianna Varela at the first two Tribal Councils. Jamie and Bobby Jon Drinkard from the rival Nakúm tribe had a screaming match after one Immunity Challenge, after Jamie was celebrating emphatically.
Jamie, Stephenie, Rafe, and Lydia Morales were switched over to Nakúm, which also had four former Nakúm members. Jamie and Stephenie quickly bonded with Judd Sergeant, and convinced him to flip on his former tribe and vote out Brooke Struck. Tensions with Bobby Jon continued, and Nakúm went to Tribal Council again in a double Tribal Council twist and voted out Judd's nemesis Margaret Bobonich.
The two tribes merged into the new Xhakúm tribe, where Jamie's alliance, consisting of himself, Stephenie, Rafe, Judd, Lydia, and Cindy Hall was in control. During the first Immunity Challenge, Jamie sat out to participate in a feast, and called out Bobby Jon and Brandon Bellinger as the ones who needed to win, since they were on the chopping block. This angered Bobby Jon who yelled back at him. At camp, tensions were even higher, which carried over to Tribal Council where Bobby Jon said that Jamie had no class, which evidently hurt Jamie's feelings. During this time, Jamie constantly asked Rafe and Stephenie if their alliance was still strong and if they were going to the final six. Rafe and Stephenie kept assuring him that he was fine.
After Bobby Jon was voted out, Jamie argued with Gary Hogeboom over a lie that Jamie thought he told, but actually did not. Jamie continued to be paranoid about being blindsided, and asked Rafe multiple times each day to reassure his position in the game. Annoyed by his persistence, Rafe organized Jamie's blindside, which confirmed his fears. Jamie left Tribal Council shouting "Blindside, nice! Now that's how you vote somebody out!", seemingly taking it better than most expected him to.
At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for Danni Boatwright, still feeling betrayed by Stephenie.
