Umar Ebeid

* Greek Islands
* The Bahamas

**Umar ibn Abdullah Ebeid** is a contestant from *Zovivor: The Bahamas* and *Zovivor: Greek Islands*.

A strong player and frontrunner to win in Zovivor: The Bahamas, Umar started the game in the minority Nerd Herd alliance of the Abaco tribe, bonding immediately with longterm ally Austin Tanaka. After getting blindsided by the first vote he attended, he reworked his game to fit into the majority, aligning with tribe leader Brad Lurman. He stayed in power through the final 8, pulling off crucial votes against Brad and Oscar Lacerna along the way, before finally getting voted out for his threat level.

At the reunion, he was revealed to be in the top 3 vote-getters for Fan Favorite alongside Austin and Treasure Jackson, but he lost to Austin.

Returning in Zovivor: Greek Islands, Umar played a quieter game, hoping to fly under the radar. After Qian Yeoh and Austin Tanaka were voted out in the premerge, Umar became the last person left from The Bahamas standing at the merge. Despite his subtler game, he was still targeted for the perception of him from his previous season, in addition to his physical threat level. He ultimately was voted out at the final 9, but not before successfully casting a target on Baghisha Uddin that would follow her throughout the rest of her game.

## Survivor

Gary started the game on the Yaxhá tribe and decided to conceal his past as a professional quarterback. In a tribal challenge, rival tribe member Danni Boatwright told Gary's tribemate Brian Corridan about his past, but Gary continued to deny it. He formed a tight bond with Amy O'Hara, both of whom were kept around for their physicality.

A tribe swap occurred, and Gary remained on Yaxhá with Brian and Amy. Despite being down in numbers, Gary survived the tribal stage of the game and became the only original Yaxhá member to remain on Yaxhá and make the merge. At the merge, Gary was in the minority, and was targeted quickly after the merge. When it was revealed that a Hidden Immunity Idol was somewhere in the jungle, Gary knew he had to find it to stay in the game. When Judd Sergeant received a clue, he told the other Xhakúm tribe members that it was on the ground. However, Gary observed Judd searching in the trees and realized he was lying.

When Gary learned he was being voted out in favor of Bobby Jon Drinkard, he searched for the Immunity Idol, and found it. He used it at Tribal Council, delaying his elimination from the game and instead ending Bobby Jon's time. After Jamie Newton was blindsided, Gary was the next slated to go. He tried desperately to make an alliance with Rafe Judkins and Danni Boatwright, his closest ally, but even she ended up voting against him, and he was eliminated from the game.

At the Final Tribal Council, he voted Danni for Sole Survivor, who ultimately won the game by a 6-1 vote.
