HiyaDerred

**HiyaDerred**, also known as **Hiya**, is a contestant on *Survivor: Black Hills*.

Mere minutes into the game, he caught the ire of Zephyr after accusing them of copy-pasting their introduction to him. His social game never truly recovered from this incident, as he frequently rubbed other members of the tribe the wrong way, and was only spared from elimination at Mo'Hota's first tribal council due to his ally Anubis' complete inactivity. At the tribe swap, he continued to rub his tribemates - both new and old - the wrong way, and after telling Jon that he had made connections with their new opponents while the tribes were hidden, it was a done deal, and Hiya was voted out unanimously by the new Mo'Hota Tribe.

## Survivor: Black Hills

Just minutes into *Black Hills*, Hiya made a massive misstep by satirically accusing Zephyr of copying and pasting their introductory message to him. This immediately turned Zephyr against him, and this relationship was not able to recover whatsoever, as Zephyr developed a wish to get him out of the game as soon as they could, which could only get stronger over time due to Mo'Hota's challenge prowess. Although he found a close ally in Anubis, he wasn't able to save Anubis from their inevitable demise at Mo'Hota's first tribal council, and joined the tribe in voting him out.

Due to the Hidden Tribes twist, Hiya, along with the rest of the Final 16, lived at one campsite for 24 hours, with the chance to talk to everyone from both tribes. Despite original Vo'Kome members not feeling very strongly about Hiya, he shared lots of information about what went down on Mo'Hota. After the tribes were revealed and Mo'Hota found out they had lost immunity, Hiya returned to tribal council. Having become suspicious of Matty, Hiya decided to target him. However, as he continued to rub people the wrong way, the target grew on his back to an irredeemable point, and he was unanimously voted out.
