James Suarez

James Suarez was a castaway on RC's Survivor Borneo created by u/Pray\_The\_Gay\_To\_Come.

This season's Charlie Brown, James was almost never in a power position due to his rocky start on Pagong, where he made quick enemies of Elena De Aqué and Solomon Lopez due to his initial targeting of Mathew Gilbert. Despite this, James was able to find a way through round after round of the game until the merge, where he was considered the weakest link on the Pagong tribe, and was blindsided in a historic blindside.

## Before the Show

Born in El Paso, Texas James was brought up in a middle class environment in which his parents showed him favor being the only male in his nuclear family which brought a lot of resentment from his two older sisters. This was due to the machismo culture his parents took part in. He grew up without working hard, and being lazy which resulted in him not being able to get into college with his 1.3 GPA in high school. This caused a rift with his parents for the first time who kicked him out. Now homeless in the streets of El Paso, he tried to turn to his older sisters for help. At first he was accepted by one and that situation went horribly wrong as James stayed just as lazy and didn’t contribute to rent or bills while wasting a huge amount of money. He got kicked out again. He survived on the streets for 3 years until he was 21 where a kind woman offered him a job which he happily accepted. Now at 21 he had a job at a restaurant as a busboy which made him try to work hard for the first time in his life. Eventually after 4 years of being a busboy he picked up writing at 25 years old and he found out he was great with his words. He has started to write small articles for the past and hopes to get himself more opportunities to the TV Show he’s never heard of which is Survivor.

## On the Show

Originally on the Pagong Tribe, James started off in a pretty peculiar position, as his tribe didn't really mesh with him well, and on top of that, they lost immunity. Back at camp, James threw out Mathew Gilbert's name for a potential target, which almost immediately gets shut down, and instead, puts his name on the chopping block. Spearheaded by the likes of Jane Harrison and Solomon, James was almost guaranteed to be going home that round, if it weren't for Elena and Mallory Hatfield deciding last minute to switch from James to Shelby Hudson, who at that point, was struggling in the survival aspect of the show.

In the next episode, James attempts to do damage control with his tribe, which only ends in Solomon and Elena disliking him more than before. During the round, James began to develop a friendship with Mallory, who at this point, has also grown closer with him. Thankfully for James, Pagong won immunity, saving James for another day.

In episode three, James' tribe loses immunity, meaning once again James' position is in danger. Back at camp, a ploy to take James out is spearheaded by Solomon, who was trying to make a unanimous vote against him, however, James' closest partner in Mallory began to create a plan to blindside Nick Rodgers, which James then talks to Jane and Elena about. This then causes Elena and Jane to become weary of Mallory, who they begin to shift their target to. Bringing in the likes of Mathew and Nick, Mallory was blindsided, completely stunning James in the process.
