Irene Wong

**Irene Wong** is a contestant from *Survivor: Fiji* and *Survivor: All-Stars*.

The beginning of Irene's game on *Fiji*was rocky, as she was on the wrong side of the votes for the first two Tribal Councils. Irene found it difficult to navigate an all-female tribe, but her game came alive once she switched to the new Vomo tribe. Once the Vomo tribe lost their first immunity challenge, Irene decided it would be beneficial for her game to target Yasmin Elkader prior to the merge, which succeeded. Once at the merge, Irene's strong social relationships kept her in the majority for the votes, and she found steady footing in the game. However, at the final six, Irene was voted out after Marissa played her Legacy Advantage, sending Irene out of the game.

Irene returned the following season for *All-Stars*, this time with motivation to prove herself as a newer player among older players. At times, Irene proved to be ruthless in being able to cut her alliances to get ahead in the game, notably for the Sarah vote. After making it to the merge, Irene closely aligned herself with Brad, Danielle, and Lexi to control the majority of the votes post-merge. With her tight alliances and manipulation skills, she was able to control the game and made it all the way to the Final Tribal Council. Despite Irene's strong game, she lost out to Danielle Douglas in the end by one vote.

Annabelle Ware

**Days Lasted:** | 3

**Annabelle Ware** is a contestant from *Survivor: Fiji*.

Annabelle was never quite able to establish a strong footing in the game, and when her tribe lost the first immunity challenge, that didn't help her chances in the game.

Annabelle also has said that she's gained a sense of independence in college and moving to Salem on her own, with her own finances and apartment. Annabelle feels she will be able to be the next Sole Survivor due to her likability and under-the-radar, savvy nature.

Returning Players

## Origin

The twist of including returning players on *Survivor: The Sims* began on *Survivor: Panama*, when Michaela Thompson and Shamar Neal were invited back to compete alongside 18 new players. Host and executive producer Jack Jones wanted to include previous players in future seasons to "showcase past players who have the potential to change the game."

### *All-Stars*

"All-Star" casts consist of all returning players. The first appearance was on *Survivor: All-Stars*, where twenty previous players returned for the second time.

### *One Returnee Per Tribe*

This format was first introduced on *Survivor: Panama*, when Michaela Thompson was assigned to the Taboga tribe, and Shamar Neal was assigned to the Bayoneta tribe. Two former castaways are given the chance to return among a group of new castaways, and are each placed on opposite tribes. *Survivor: Philippines* also followed this format.

**Kelly Tai** is a contestant from *Survivor: Mauritius*.

Through her savvy skills, she was able to deflect the target off of herself onto the original Moka members, specifically in voting out Deja and Adam. Once the merge hit, Kelly and her number one alliance Sasha joined forces with the tight-knit Joel and Michele to form a power alliance. However, Kelly decided to turn on the alliance and leave. When the alliance needed her, she flipped back onto their side only to leave again. Kelly was voted out at the final four because of her villainous nature, and decision to leave the alliance.

During Alexis's time on *Palau*, she was notable for being sent to Exile Island frequently early on in the game and for her tenacious spirit, quickly finding the idol while away from her camp. She also made several big moves in the game, some which succeeded and others which did not, including playing an idol in Kachelle Wiley's name to save her alliance. Alexis formed a tight alliance with Kajal Nath when she switched onto the Airai tribe, which lasted her long up until the Double Tribal Council. Alexis attempted to create a Black Widow alliance with all the female members of Airai, however this backfired and her tribemates saw her as untrustworthy, voting her out unanimously.

Leah Yates

**Days Lasted:** | 8

**Leah Yates** is a contestant from *Survivor: Vanuatu*.

After her "showmance" with fellow beauty tribemate Devin was exposed, Leah found herself on the outside of her tribe. Leah attempted to fight her way out from the bottom, but the strong majority alliance between Justin, Mercedes and Roger proved to be super tight and decided it was time for Leah to go on Day 8.

## Profile

* **Name (Age):** Leah Yates (24)
* **Tribe Designation:** Beauty
* **Hometown:** Wake Forest, NC
* **Current Residence:** Wake Forest, NC
* **Occupation:** Etsy Shop Owner
* **Do You Consider Yourself a Brain, Beauty, or Brawn?** I'm pretty content in being a beauty. I am smart though and I have a business degree, and I'm a huge fitness fanatic. But, I would say beauty fits me the most. I know I'm pretty and I use that to flirt. I also own an etsy shop, and I model the clothes myself. What can I say, I'm 5'10" and gorgeous!
* **What Are You Most Proud Of?** For sure starting my business up. Being an etsy store owner is hard, but I've always made my own clothes because my mom taught me how to sew. I actually get a lot of people buying my clothes and have been able to support myself off my business, so I'm really happy with that!
* **Why Will You Be the Sole Survivor?** I'd honestly be surprised if I didn't make it to the very end, if not close. I'm a fan of the game and would play under the radar at first, making bigger moves along the way to build my resume up.

**Chase Reissfelder** is a contestant on *Survivor: Philippines*.

Chase was well-liked on the Cagua tribe, performing well in challenges and even forming a close, flirtatious bond with Natalia. His bond with Natalia ended up being a hindrance, as his tribe saw it as too much of a "showmance" and decided to target Natalia right before the merge for her sneaky gameplay, which Chase hopped on board with to save himself. At the vote after the merge, with the old Mayon tribe having the numbers, they decided Chase was their target for his physical prowess and he became the first member of the jury.

James Havea

**Days Lasted:** | 31

**James Havea** is a contestant from *Survivor: Panama*.

Taking more of a backseat approach on *Panama*, James showed his ability to be flexible and go with the plan, in an effort to make it further in the game. James's loyalty to his relationships was his biggest strength in the game. Despite flying under the radar, after James won his first Individual Immunity, the next vote he was quickly voted out due to his physical strength becoming a threat, and good relationships with everyone on the jury.

## Profile

* **Name (Age):** James Havea (29)
* **Hometown:** Salt Lake City, UT
* **Occupation:** Actuary
* **Inspiration in Life:** My parents! They came all the way from Tonga before I was born, and are the sweetest, most hospitable people I have ever seen in my life. They're still super happily married and are constantly teaching me what love and compassion is.
* **Reason for Being on *Survivor*:** I'm a fan of the show and a student of the game. I'm here to take my knowledge from seeing the show on TV, and bring it to the actual real arena -- the *Survivor* stage. I'm ready to give it all I got!
* **Why You Think You'll Be the Sole Survivor:** I'm Tongan, so hopefully that helps me in my island living skills! All jokes aside, I'm a really sharp person and I have a strong intuition; my ability to read people is really good and I feel like I'll be able to detect when something's wrong. Another thing is a lot of players, once they slip into a power position, get too cocky or confident -- you can NEVER be confident in this game. I know I won't 100% have anything in the bag the entire game, and keeping it real with yourself is a really crucial part of the game. I don't see myself getting carried away with unrealistic expectations of this game.

## Survivor

Chris, as one of the members of the Ko Wai tribe, was one of the more laid-back members of his tribe. Chris caught some heat early on in the game from Terra Freeman, who insisted the Ko Wai tribe should be workhorses and create a sturdy shelter right away.

On Day 9, the Ko Wai tribe lost their first Immunity Challenge and had to vote one of their members out of the game. Terra schemed to get Chris out, however Chris brought in the majority of the votes, taking Terra out of the game instead in a 6-3 vote. Chris's voting bloc was imperative to his game on the Ko Wai tribe.

On Day 10, the Tribal Switch shook the game up and Chris was put on the new Ko Wai tribe. On the new Ko Wai tribe, the old Ko Wai had the majority of the members with 4 of the 7 members being original Ko Wai. Chris attempted to band the old Ko Wai together to stay safe up until the merge, however when the new Ko Wai lost the Immunity Challenge on Day 12, Michaela Thompson flipped on the old Ko Wai and jumped to the old Soi Dao's side, voting Chris out in a 4-3 vote.
