David Defiagbon

**David Defiagbon** is a contestant from *Borneo*.

## Survivor

In '**Borneo'**, David was a member of the Ramis tribe.

Day 3, bonds strongly with Nathaniel Arcand.

Day 6, strongly dislikes Irvin Alfaro and targets him going into Tribal Council. At Tribal Council, the vote would be deadlocked between Charlotte and Frankie and for the rules of *Survivor CAN* changed this year, when previous votes were abandoned for the odd-coloured rock. Jennifer Rojas, who received no votes would be eliminated.

Day 9, feels that Julia Robie is a threat, but votes for Irvin. At Tribal Council, Cecilia Ector would be voted out 4-3.

Day 10, during the Tribal Switch, David moves to Larai with Charlotte Murray, Julia and Nathaniel Arcand.

Day 15, the original Ramis would vote together and send Melissa Galbraith home, 4-2-1.

Day 18, the original Ramis vote for Chad Lim, but David chooses to vote for Julia, who he still feels is a threat to him.

Day 21, a new 6-person alliance forms between Chris Berg, David, Jody Johnson, Julia, Madeleine Allakariallak and Shane Dorsey. The alliance targeted Frankie, however David disagreed with the target and instead voted for his new ally, Shane, helping send him home in a 6-4 vote.

Day 24, for a 2nd Tribal Council in a row, his alliance targets Frankie Jimenez and David doesn't agree. David would vote for Jody in the 1st vote, but in the revote he would reluctantly vote with his alliance... but it would be Nathaniel going home and not Frankie. His Gabung alliance would prove dysfunctional as Chris, David and Madeleine wouldn't vote for Frankie.

Day 27, bonds strongly with Jody. For a 3rd consecutive Tribal Council, the Gabung 5 push for a Frankie vote and again, David does not agree it's his time, so he joins the majority in sending Julia to the jury and reducing his Gabung alliance to 4.

Day 30, David would continue to defy the alliance and not go with the Frankie decision - believing it wasn't his turn, until the revote and he had to vote for Frankie or his ally, Jody. David's switched vote would be the deciding vote, sending Frankie to the jury.

Day 33, the Gabung 4 would finally all be true to their word and vote out Charlotte in a 4-1-1 vote.

Day 36, with the Gabung forced to turn on themselves, David and Jody would vote for Chris. But Jody would be the other tied castaway, she couldn't vote and would become the 5th jury member in a 2-1 revote.

Day 37, David and Madeleine would band together to vote for Roy, meanwhile Chris and Roy would band together to vote for David. They would deadlock and go to rocks between Chris, David and Roy. David would pick the odd-coloured rock and would become the 6th jury member in Borneo.

As a juror, David would vote for his final ally in the game, Madeleine. Madeleine would be crowned Sole Survivor in a 5-2 vote.
