## Survivor

### *India*

On *Canadian Survivor: India*, Omar was a member of the Hati tribe. Omar was a determined player on Canadian Survivor: India. On Day 3, he joined forces with Jeremie Augustin and Val Quispe to form the Hati Three alliance. Under Jeremie's leadership, the group voted out Gloria Swiftwolfe at the first Tribal Council.

But things took a turn on Day 6, when Omar had a major fight with Rahul Verma. In an effort to gain the upper hand, Omar recruited Frank Cocci to the newly coined Hāti Four alliance. Despite wanting Rahul gone, Omar agreed with Jeremie's target, Sabine Mertens, and she was sent home in a unanimous vote. However, on Day 9, Jeremie ditched the Hāti Four. The remaining three, Omar, Frank and Val, recruited Janet Tan for a single vote and sent Rahul packing.

Day 12 saw Omar and Jeremie Augustin make a Final 2 agreement, and after losing another Immunity Challenge, they voted out the laziest member of the tribe, Janet Tan. Day 15, Omar ditched Hati Three with Frank Cocci and Val Quispe, solidifying his Final 2 with Jeremie, as his goat. Day 24, he welcomed Val into the Final 2. Day 27, he had a small fight with Jana Novotná and recruited Jess Perreault as an affiliate to Hati Final 2 with Jeremie. Omar wanted the Boomers to stick together and vote out Jana, but Jeremie disagreed and wanted Frank to go home - at Tribal Council, Jeremie stuck with Omar and the vote was tied, down generation lines. In the revote, Jana was voted out unanimously.

Day 33, Omar had a minor disagreement with Frank. He and Jeremie cut ties with Val and they targeted her main ally, Frank. With the help of Jess and Noel, Frank was voted out 4-2. Day 36, Jess left the Shompen Final 3 and despite wanting to send Jess to the jury, Omar saw her as more loyal than Noel and with Jess and Val, who both didn't care for Jeremie, this would increase his chances of making it to the Final 2 - they sent Noel to the jury, 4-1. Day 37, Jeremie and Omar decided to split the vote to force Jess and Val into a tie-breaker to earn their way into the Final 2.

On Day 39, the jury of 7 rewarded Omar for his strategic gameplay, social skills, and likability. They voted him as the Sole Survivor of Canadian Survivor: India, by a 5-2 margin over Jeremie. Omar had outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted all the other contestants, and proved to be the best player in the game.

### *Solomon Islands*

On *Canadian Survivor: Solomon Islands*, Omar was a member of the Tahaanuku tribe. Omar quickly established himself as a strong player. On Day 2, he had a small fight with Shehan Themiya, but he was able to put it behind him and focus on the game.

On Day 24, the original Tahaanuku tribe stuck together and voted out the previous winner, Dan Nagy by a 3-2 margin. Day 26, along with Mili Kucio, they recruited Lola Wong to create the Tigoa Three alliance. However, at the next Tribal Council, Mili betrayed the new alliance and they didn't vote together to send Stew Harris home. Instead, Jordin Tootoo was sent packing. Day 28, Lola Wong left the Tigoa Three, and at the next Tribal Council, Robina Khan targeted Omar. However, the Borneo Three had other plans and voted for Lola. With the vote tied between Lola and Omar, Jess Perreault had to choose and she chose to send Lola to jury instead of forcing a draw.

Day 30, the Niupani Two and Tigoa Two joined forces to reduce the Kagaba Three to Two, they chose to vote out the challenge threat, Ronny Nyathi.
Day 33, Omar had a major fight with Malik Hussain, but he was able to put it behind him and focus on the game. Day 37, he bonded strongly with Jess Perreault, but when Malik won immunity, he had no choice but to send Jess home. On Day 39, Omar and Mili faced a jury of 7, but this time, Omar would lose 5-2 and finish as the runner-up. Although he didn't win the game, Omar's strong performance earned him the respect of his fellow players and the fans. He proved to be a worthy All-Star, and his Survivor journey will always be remembered.
