**Jordan Daniels** is a contestant from *Simvivor: Al Simhara* and *Simvivor: Superstar*. He also competed on *The Duel*.

## Profile

* Al Simhara
* Superstar
Jordan considers himself to be a superstar, but others look at him as your typical boy-next-door. Childish by nature, Jordan is fascinated by pro-wrestling and crime-fighting ninjas. Jordan is also a bit of a geek but manages to get along with virtually all kinds of people. The perfect personality for *Simvivor*, Jordan is sure to bring the entertainment whether it’s his laughable antics or through masterful blindsides. Jordan maintains that he’s a superfan of *Simvivor*, too, which he feels is more than enough to get him to the Final Tribal Council.

Jordan cried when he got the call to return. He couldn’t stop babbling into the phone, but his answer was a resounding and triumphant “Yes!” Recovered from the mental exhaustion that came from *Al Simhara*, Jordan couldn’t be more stoked to be considered one of *Simvivor*’s finest. A true superfan through and through, Jordan wants to work with some other legends just for the experience, but make no mistake, Jordan is not here to play for their benefit. “This is my win for the taking,” he says. “Nobody can stop me.” Aside from the physical preparation he’s done, Jordan has also begun networking himself online with the various fans of the show in order to overcome the strategic barriers he had in his first season. Will the superfan finally take home the crown, or will he play himself into a corner once more?

### Al Simhara

Jordan came out of the gate as a quirky and likable character, with his goofy antics keeping his tribe in good spirits. However, that soon transformed into Jordan playing a very strategic game, immediately switching roles from the lovable "little brother" to a capable strategist and the leader of most of the strategic game played on his tribe. From the beginning, Jordan had a close relationship to Mikki Verde and Nigel Thrussel, becoming one of the season's first alliances.

Jordan's close connection to Mikki came to benefit him at the tribe swap, as the duo was isolated from their core alliances, stuck between working with outsider Bobby Wentworth or brand new members from the other original tribe. Through Mikki's maneuvering, they survived the first Tribal Council as a new tribe before splitting into new alliances. However, Jordan refused to vote out new ally Naomi Atchison and instead voted for Mikki, causing the two to split up. Nearly facing his own elimination, the new Oasis tribe pulled out a clutch Immunity Challenge win, sending Jordan to the merge.

Once the merge took place, Jordan found himself linking up with basically the entire tribe to try and make sense of what was set up to be a chaotic Tribal Council. Through careful consideration, Jordan was able to repay Mikki for his past error and saved her from elimination that night. They reignited their alliance, working to finally take down Giannis Lykaios the following vote, essentially throwing control of the game up in the air.

Jordan saw many successes and near-failures, from winning two Individual Immunity Challenges in a row and almost getting voted out again before the Final Four. When the end was nearly in his reach, Jordan was eliminated in a confusing Tribal Council where a perceived "sudden" rule change had meant that anybody, besides Hilda Szoke due to winning Individual Immunity, could be eliminated that night. This caused Jordan's new closest ally Tierra Ocampo to reconsider her plan, flipping her vote on the revote to send Jordan off to the Jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Tierra expressed her disappointment in herself for not doing more to protect Jordan at the Final Four, but recognized that Jordan would've been difficult for her to beat. She owned her vote, but still apologized for Jordan, which was more than enough for him to cast his vote for her to win.

#### Voting History

**^1**  In Episode 7, the vote ended with a 4-4 tie between Mikki and Rory, forcing a revote. Jordan did not change his vote on the revote.
**^2**  In Episode 13, the vote ended with a 2-2 tie between Jordan and Leoncio, forcing a revote. Tierra changed her vote to Jordan on the revote, eliminating him from the game.

### Superstar

Jordan returned for *Simvivor'*s eighth season, where he found himself placed on the Warhol tribe. Initially, Jordan was recruited by Hawthorne Rafferty to take on the former winners on the season, ensuring that "fresh blood" would win in the end. This plan soon fell apart as James Melendez and Maritza La Playa's romantic relationship quickly ignited, changing their strategy in the process. Jordan fell on the outs after the first Tribal Council of the season by attempting to protect Ignacio Gomez from elimination.

Jordan managed to survive another Tribal Council, but not before being targeted by Kat Indie, putting the two at odds with each other. Enjoying a brief winning streak, Jordan later saw his tribe grow in numbers, taking on Cornelia Tennison, Lincoln Bravado, and Malik Waller. Because Kat had been kidnapped by the opposing tribe that round, the target shuffled between Jordan and Malik, but thankfully for Jordan, Malik was the consensus decision to go home.

Heading into the merge down in numbers and with his back totally against the wall, Jordan believed that his siding with Maritza and Xanthe Baumgarten earlier in the game would come back to benefit him. Learning soon that Maritza was against him, he attempted to bring her back into his good graces by suggesting a blindside on DeWitt Hubbell. Not up to date on the agenda to actually keep winners around, Jordan was taken out at the first merged tribe Tribal Council, where he became a member of the Jury.

### The Duel
