Finnegan Bloxham

**Finnegan Bloxham** is the Sole Survivor of *Simvivor: Selvadorada*. He later competed on *Simvivor: Superstar*.

## Profile

* Selvadorada
* Superstar
Finnegan’s geeky yet handsome exterior is the perfect ploy to cover up the fact that he’s actually a devious hacker. He tells nobody about the top-secret bunker that he lives in, having all his mail forwarded to an empty lot he owns in Oasis Springs. In fact, it would be no surprise if it was revealed that Finnegan wasn’t even a Human after all. But his intelligent mind makes him an incredible competitor for the game of *Simvivor*, which is why he was recruited on the dark web in the first place.

Finnegan’s downfall is that he’s more well-known for his rivalry than his winning game, but this might come to his advantage when playing against some of *Simvivor*’s heaviest hitters. A renowned strategist with a cutthroat mentality, Finnegan knows it’ll be a hard road ahead for him. “No one will ever give a winner another million. I’m just here to stab everyone in the back and make them all miserable!” Really leaning into his villain side once again, everything is up for grabs, including a spot in *Simvivor*’s Hall of Fame. Can this showstopping Sole Survivor slay another day?

## Simvivor

### Selvadorada

Finnegan started off *Selvadorada* placed on the weaker Belo tribe. Having lost multiple Immunity Challenges early on, he actually felt that he was in a better position to take control of the game. His impressive social game meant that he gained friends quickly, and with a close partnership to James Melendez, the two held most of the power within the game. Finnegan's plan to add Carey Samuel and Tulio Elwes into the alliance proved beneficial, giving The Faction a name and allowed Finnegan to exercise control on the early stages of the game.

While Finnegan was the most strategically involved player of the season, he also was one of the more loyalty-focused players, too. Despite multiple opportunities to shake up the status quo, Finnegan stuck true to his allegiances and tried to keep himself out of trouble along the way. Despite bonding with James earlier on about their preferred play styles, Finnegan and James seemed to find themselves at odds regarding every other aspect of *Simvivor*. An eventual falling-out led the duo to becoming rivals, which lasted into the merge.

Finding new potential allies in Tahira Ridley and Yves Miguel, Finnegan felt once again in control of the game. Battling with James despite still sharing common goals in the game, the two felt like they were on the cusp of a true reunification of The Faction, but just as they tried to re-form, Finnegan created the Project Final Three alliance, whose sole purpose was to eliminate James. He went out soon after.

The Project Final Three alliance stuck strong for its intended goal, becoming the only alliance left standing. Finnegan won the Final Immunity Challenge and he had to make a difficult decision: eliminate either Carey or Yves. Realizing that Carey had more friends on the Jury than Yves, he made the choice to vote her off, breaking their pact for the finals since the start of the season. However, this move proved itself to have been the right call as the Jury seemed more receptive to Finnegan rather than Yves. Ultimately, Finnegan won *Selvadorada* in a 5-2 Jury vote, having been able to properly defend his aggressive approach to the strategy while Yves sunk his own ship by feuding with multiple jurors along the way.

At the Reunion, Finnegan was grilled by James about their rivalry, with James going as far as claiming that it was a "produced storyline" by Finnegan for airtime. Finnegan stated that the rivalry may have been one-sided at times, but suggested that the two had not spoken since the finale and there was still a great deal of bad blood between them.

#### Voting History

**^1**  In Episode 9, the vote ended with a 4-4 tie between Tahira and Tulio, forcing a revote. Finnegan did not change his vote on the revote.

### Superstar

A former Sole Survivor heading into *Superstar*, Finnegan knew that the odds were stacked against him, so his entire game was set to be the biggest villain he could be. Winning the first two Immunity Challenges with his Monroe tribe, Finnegan worked hard at building relationships with his tribemates, namely Leoncio Hedley. After the tribes swapped, Finnegan was able to connect with fellow Sole Survivor DeWitt Hubbell. An unofficial trio with DeWitt and Leoncio, Finnegan was mainly maligned by Xanthe Baumgarten despite being friends after their original season had concluded. Targeted specifically because of his winner status, Finnegan stated that he would give them a better reason to hate him, first of all by blindsiding Billie Windham at the first chance he had.

Continuing to antagonize both Xanthe and Maris Wilton, Finnegan stood out as a massive threat that people needed to get rid of. Even DeWitt and Leoncio were growing tired of Finnegan's "bullying" tactics to get under the girls' skin, so they hatched a plan to throw the next Immunity Challenge to get rid of Finnegan as soon as possible. Even when their tribe tried hard to throw, they still came out on top over the weak Warhol tribe. This led to Finnegan rising as a villain once again, hijacking the kidnap option to steal Kat Indie, knowing well that she would be the next to leave.

With Kat visiting their tribe, Finnegan's antagonistic behavior prevailed, leading to a blowup at camp between him and Xanthe. DeWitt stood up for Xanthe, but this led Maris to privately chew DeWitt out for giving information away to "the spy". Finnegan and Kat formed a Final Two deal during this time period, but told her that if the opportunity presented itself, she needed to kidnap him as he was surely the next one to go. She agreed and later returned to her tribe.

At the next Immunity Challenge, DeWitt and the girls once again attempted to throw, this time getting their wish. Finnegan worked on DeWitt and Leoncio, trying to convince them that Maris and Xanthe were a tight duo and in most circumstances would force a tiebreaker for each other. DeWitt and Leoncio heavily considered flipping and eliminating Xanthe, but DeWitt changed his mind at Tribal Council, whispering to Leoncio to do the same. Finnegan's reign of terror ended that night, thanks to a unanimous vote.
