Shirley Valrie

**Shirley Glora Valrie** is a contestant from *Zovivor: Tibet*.

Shirley hoped to prove herself as a worthy tribe member and important asset despite her age through a strong social and strategic game. However, she was relegated to the bottom of the Tenzin tribe when her ally Ben Summers became the first person voted out. She was able to recover thanks to a fumble by Xuan Dinh, allowing Shirley to work her way into a new majority alliance with tribe leader Sinomtha Sikunyana. This alliance quickly proved to be short-lived, as a tribe swap put Shirley in danger once again. Despite Reed O'Brien flipping to work with her, she was voted out at the final 15 after targeting the physically strong Kainalu Palakiko.

### Cook Islands

Jonathan was initially placed on the Rarotonga tribe consisting of Caucasian-American castaways. While on the boat during marooning, the Puka Puka tribe's chicken escaped and Jonathan retrieved it for his own tribe. At camp, however, Jessica Smith accidentally set the chicken loose, earning Jonathan's ire. Prior to the first Immunity Challenge, the chicken incident was discussed, with Puka Puka identifying Jonathan as the theft. Rarotonga then finished third to win immunity, while the losing Manihiki tribe sent Jonathan to Exile Island for stealing the chicken; Jonathan returned the next day.

When Manihiki and Puka Puka were dissolved on Day 7, the remaining players were switched to either Aitutaki or Rarotonga, with Jonathan being switched to Aitutaki, where he aligned with Becky Lee, Candice Woodcock, and Yul Kwon. However, when Aitutaki lost the subsequent Immunity Challenge, Candice was sent to Exile Island, leaving Jonathan's alliance in the minority, with Becky as the target. However, after strong lobbying from Jonathan and Yul, Jessica and Cao Boi Bui flipped to Jonathan's side, so Cecilia Mansilla was blindsided. Aitutaki then enjoyed a lengthy winning streak. However, on Day 15, host Jeff Probst announced that both tribes would go to a Double Tribal Council. Jonathan and Candice were then targeted by Cao Boi, who wanted the tribe to split the votes between the two of them to potentially flush out the Hidden Immunity Idol as the two had previously been to Exile Island. At Tribal Council, Jonathan and Candice's alliance instead opted to save them, blindsiding Cao Boi instead. When Aitutaki lost the following Immunity Challenge on Day 18, Jessica lobbied for Jonathan's elimination. The others considered voting out Jonathan for his perceived untrustworthiness, but at Tribal Council, Jessica was voted out in a unanimous vote.

The next morning, Jonathan and Candice plotted for an upcoming merge. At the Reward Challenge, a mutiny offer was presented, where anybody could change tribe affiliations. Candice was the first to accept the offer and a visibly shocked Jonathan followed her at the last second. Both of them rejoined the Rarotonga tribe and became part of the Raro Alliance. Rarotonga then lost the subsequent Immunity Challenge. While Jonathan was a target, Brad Virata openly stating he did not trust anyone resulted in his unanimous elimination. When Rarotonga lost immunity again, Jonathan found himself targeted. At Tribal Council, however, Rebecca Borman was unanimously voted out. Jeff then asked Parvati Shallow to open the bottle which was given to the tribe after they lost immunity. When she opened it and read the note, it was revealed that the tribe had to immediately vote out another member in a Double Elimination. Although Jenny Guzon-Bae and Nate Gonzalez voted against Jonathan, the original Rarotonga bloc of Jonathan, Candice, Parvati, and Adam Gentry stuck together, blindsiding Jenny.

The next day, the tribes merged into the Aitutonga tribe. Yul talked to Jonathan about rejoining his Aitu Four alliance, but Jonathan was not sure if he would flip back, stating that he would consider flipping back to Yul's side if Yul showed him the Hidden Immunity Idol. At camp, Yul showed Jonathan the idol to sway him back to his side: if Jonathan did not vote with Yul and his allies, they would vote for Jonathan, and Yul's idol would negate the Raro Alliance's votes and send Jonathan home. He later talked to his alliance about the idea of Yul possibly having the idol, but they did not believe it, which gave Jonathan a good reason to flip. Jonathan requested that Yul vote for Nate in exchange for him flipping to their side, which Yul readily agreed to. At Tribal Council, Jonathan blindsided the Raro Alliance and joined the Aitu Four in voting out Nate 5–4.

After coming back from Tribal Council, he explained to Candice his decision, while Parvati ridiculed him for flipping. At the Survivor Auction on Day 29, he bought a lot of food and acted in an obnoxious manner, which rubbed the rest of the tribe the wrong way. After the Immunity Challenge, the Raro Alliance pleaded to Yul to vote out Jonathan. While Adam, Candice, and Parvati were taking a "snuggling session" in the shelter, the Aitu Four downed a handful of fish that Jonathan caught. But Candice, seeing this, confronted Jonathan about his arrogance and told him that the whole tribe hated him. In a heated Tribal Council, Adam, Candice, and Parvati chastised Jonathan and pleaded for his elimination. Jonathan received votes from the Raro Alliance, but the Aitu Four sided with him, leaving Candice to be voted out.

The next day, Jonathan was able to meet with his wife Stacy at the Loved Ones Challenge. Parvati won the challenge and sent Jonathan to Exile Island. After Ozzy Lusth won immunity, Adam and Parvati pleaded the Aitu Four to get Jonathan out, though Yul assured Jonathan that he was on his side. At Tribal Council, however, the Aitu Four sided with Adam and Parvati in unanimously voting Jonathan out. Before leaving Tribal Council, Jonathan told the others that he would like his hat back at some point, which Yul returned at the next Tribal Council.

At the Final Tribal Council, Jonathan asked Yul how telling half lies kept in line with his integrity, and accused Ozzy of being arrogant and asked him how a million dollars would make his world a better place. He voted for Yul to win, which he did in a close 5-4-0 vote over Ozzy and Becky respectively.

### Micronesia

Jonathan returned as one of ten returning contestants on the Malakal tribe who competed against ten *Survivor* "superfans." He initially formed an alliance with Ami Cusack, Eliza Orlins, and Yau-Man Chan to usurp the budding Malakal Couples Alliance consisting of Amanda Kimmel, James Clement, Ozzy Lusth, and Parvati Shallow. While both alliances were vying for Cirie Fields's and Jon Dalton's votes after Malakal lost the first Immunity Challenge, all plans were put on hold when Jon suddenly decided that he wanted to go home to be with his expectant girlfriend and was voted out at the first Tribal Council.

When Malakal lost immunity again on Day 8, both alliances again battled for Cirie's crucial swing vote. Although Cirie was initially on board with Jonathan's alliance, she was eventually swayed to join the Malakal Couples Alliance on the condition that Yau-Man would be the first eliminated, despite the alliance's desire to eliminate Eliza because she made an argument that if Yau-Man went to Exile Island once, he would definitely find the Hidden Immunity Idol. The couples agreed, and although Jonathan tried to save Yau-Man, he was voted out in a 6-2-1 vote.

On Day 13, unexpected tribe switch moved Jonathan to the Airai tribe with Eliza, James, and Parvati. Although Airai won the subsequent Reward Challenge, Jonathan suffered a knee injury, greatly hindering his mobility. Airai then went on a winning streak before Jonathan's knee injury started slowly getting worse and worse. Eventually, Jonathan was forced to be medically evacuated on Day 15 after the medical team determined that the infection in his knee was potentially fatal, and he shared an emotional goodbye with his tribe before leaving.

### Philippines

Jonathan returned with fellow former evacuated contestants Michael Skupin and Russell Swan and was placed on the Kalabaw tribe. Jonathan was immediately targeted by the other castaways on his tribe, as they, mainly Jeff Kent, did not want a returning player to win the game. On Day 4, Jonathan managed to find Kalabaw's Hidden Immunity Idol from the top of the rice box. Things began to look up for Jonathan, as he formed a three-person alliance with Jeff and Carter Williams, creating a men versus women scenario within the tribe. However, votes never had to happen as Kalabaw continued their winning streak.

On Day 11, the Matsing tribe was dissolved and Kalabaw gained Denise Stapley. However, the following day, Kalabaw lost their first original member after Dana Lambert became ill and decided to quit the game. Kalabaw lost the next two Immunity Challenges, and Denise joined the men's alliance, helping to vote out Sarah Dawson and Katie Hanson respectively.

When Kalabaw merged with Tandang into the Dangrayne tribe on Day 17, Carter and Jeff plotted with the Tandang Alliance to target Jonathan. Jonathan attempted to talk Tandang outsiders Michael and RC Saint-Amour into flipping, however, Michael decided to vote against Jonathan when Jeff approached him. At Tribal Council, Jonathan played his Hidden Immunity Idol out of nervousness that his allies had turned on him. RC received the next highest number of votes due to a split vote plan organized by Malcolm Freberg and became the first member of the jury. After Tribal Council, Jonathan was furious that his allies had betrayed him and considered himself alone on the island. Jonathan then managed to pull out a come-from-behind victory at the next Immunity Challenge, throwing plans to vote him out into a tailspin. At a chaotic Tribal Council, the votes were split between Jeff and Pete Yurkowski, with Jeff leaving 5-4-1. Jonathan threw a vote to Abi-Maria Gomes in an effort to spook her as he admitted to not knowing what was going on; had Jonathan voted with Carter, Denise, Jeff, and Malcolm, the vote would have been tied.

Back at camp, the remnants of the original Kalabaw and Matsing tribes realized that they needed to get rid of the Tandang Alliance of Abi-Maria, Pete, and Artis Silvester. Although the Tandang Alliance again targeted Jonathan at the next Tribal Council, the Kalabaw-Matsing coalition managed to get Michael to flip over and boot Artis in a 5-4 vote. The next day, Jonathan tried to get Lisa Whelchel to join their coalition, appealing to her past as a teen star and how she would appear to the television audience. At the next vote, Lisa and Michael joined the Kalabaw-Matsing coalition, helping split votes between Abi-Maria and Pete. Abi-Maria then played her Hidden Immunity Idol, sending Pete home in a 3-2-0 vote.

Lisa and Michael then approached Jonathan with a final four deal with him and Carter, feeling skeptical about working with Denise and Malcolm. However, Jonathan turned down their offer as he thought that it was too early to make sub-alliances. At the next Immunity Challenge, Abi-Maria shocked everyone when she won after receiving a Challenge Advantage at the Survivor Auction. At Tribal Council, Jonathan campaigned for Denise and Malcolm to leave, saying that if either of them got to the end, they would win. However, Jonathan faced the consequences of rejecting the final four deal as Lisa and Michael joined Denise and Malcolm in voting out Jonathan in a 4-3 vote. Before leaving Tribal Council, Jonathan hugged Carter and when Abi-Maria asked for a hug, Jonathan coldly told her that he was not hugging anyone else. Jonathan departed from Tribal Council whistling, and he took a bow before finally disappearing into the trees, eliciting a bemused shrug from host Jeff Probst.

At the Final Tribal Council, Jonathan addressed Denise, Lisa, and Michael, berating them all and even exposing Lisa's past as a teen star to the jury and other finalists, although he kept her secret while playing. In the end, Jonathan voted for Denise to win, helping give her the victory in a 6-1-1 vote.
