Jae

**jae**, also known as **Jae**, is a contestant on *Survivor: Black Hills*.

Often criticized for their lack of activity in the game, it's safe to say that Jae was spared from imminent doom due to winning all but two pre-merge challenges. However, once the merge came around, their lack of connections became obvious, and after the consensus target Madison won a clutch individual immunity challenge, the connections that Jae did have faltered as nobody was willing to stick out their neck to save them.

## Survivor: Black Hills

Jae started the game quietly, sitting comfortably in a majority despite some complaints about their low activity. They bonded with Zephyr over their identities as non-binary ORG players, and created a they/them pact together in solidarity. They grew frustrated with fellow tribemate Hiya, who did not respond to them much and wasn't that interesting of a person to them. When Mo'Hota finally lost, Jae was open to voting either Hiya or his ally Anubis, both of whom were rubbing Jae the wrong way for their apparent lack of commitment to the social game. They joined the rest of the tribe in voting Anubis out of the game.

Switching to the Vo'Kome Tribe, Jae was once again comfortable due to another string of challenge wins. When a Double Tribal Council forced Vo'Kome to finally attend a tribal council, Jae's name was brought up as a potential target due to their continued inactivity. However, their connections from Mo'Hota carried over to Vo'Kome, and their allies successfully saved them and confirmed Justin's downfall instead.

When the merge came around, Jae was swept under Vincent's wing, as he perceived them to be a good long-term ally given he wasn't too connected to them for emotions to get in the way of strategy. Jae's position appeared to be good because of their connection with one of the more influential players on the tribe. However, the consensus target, Madison, won the first individual immunity challenge. Jae quickly garnered attention as the most suitable target for the merge vote, so much so that Vincent garnered suspicion from his tribemates for even trying to save them. At the end of the day, Vincent had to let go of Jae, and they became the first jury member in a unanimous 9-1 vote.

At the Final Tribal Council, Jae had nothing to say to any of the finalists, as they already had made up their mind on who to vote for to win. They voted for Zephyr to win due to their early-game friendship, which they did in a 4-3-0 vote.
