Rich Francis

**Rich Francis** is a contestant from *Jiuzhaigou Valley*.

## Survivor

In '**Jiuzhaigou Valley'**, Rich was a member of the Shuzheng tribe.

Day 3, forms alliance with Greg & Rose. Rose leaves alliance on Day 6.

Shuzheng would become the first tribe in *Survivor CAN* history to never lose an Immunity Challenge or attend Tribal Council and lose a member, when Greg Siegel was medically evacuated on Day 9.

Day 12, has a major fight with Qing.

At Shuzheng's first Tribal Council, on Day 15, Aron Labbe mobilizes his alliances with Rose Oquendo & Kyle Rodriguez to vote out Anna Colson, in a 4-3 vote, Rich is on the wrong side of the vote.

On Day 18, with Aron & Kyle's allegiance ending, Rich joins a strong 3-person alliance with Kyle and Evie. When Aron & Rose target Qing, Rich's 3 are quick to rescue Qing and together they vote out Rose in a 4-2 vote.

On Day 20, the Shuzheng tribe would merge with the Zechawa even with 5 members. With Shuzheng targeting Kat and Zechawa targeting Evie, it was Qing, feeling at the bottom of Shuzheng who switched her vote . Evie would be the seventh voted out by a 6-4 vote.

Day 24, Kyle abandons his alliance with Rich.

Day 27, aligns with Cedric Anderson. Krystal's witch hunt would work, as she wanted revenge on Rich and Kyle for last Tribal Councils votes, resulting in Kyle being sent the jury in a 4-3-1 vote. Irma, knowing the majority was set, would toss a rogue vote to Rich.

Day 30, Rich has a small fight with Qing, meanwhile he adds Kat to his alliance with Cedric. However, it's not the strongest alliance as Cedric disagrees with the alliances decision to vote out Irma, so he votes for Kat. After a 3-3-1 vote, in the re-vote, Cedric join Kat & Rich in voting out Irma in a 3-2 vote.

Day 33, the blindsides continue as no true alliances are in tact. Rich & Krystal cast votes for Cedric, however, Kat would be on the losing end of a 3-2-1 vote and become the 4th jury member.

Day 36, an alliance is born between Aron, Cedric, Krystal and Qing. Rich was guaranteed to finish 5th, until he won individual Immunity and forced the newly formed alliance to turn on themselves. Rich's hatred towards Cedric led him to cast a stray vote in that direction, but it was Aron, Cedric & Qing who voted together, sending Krystal to the jury in a 3-1-1 vote.

Day 37, Rich wins his 4th individual Immunity Challenge, saving him from the 3-person alliance, forcing them to turn on themselves again. With Rich's victory, it became a vote of simply who they didn't like. Qing was voted out in a 2-1-1 vote. At the Final 3, Aron wins Immunity and takes his friend Cedric to the Final Two and puts an end to Rich's game.

As a juror, Rich would be 1 of 2 votes for former Shuzheng tribemae, Aron. Despite Aron voting out Rich the previous day, his hatred towards Cedric was evident by the 3 consecutive votes for Cedric in the game and then the final Tribal Council snub.

### Voting History
