Omari Gentry

**Omari Gentry** is the Sole Survivor of *Survivor: Cook Islands*. He later competed on *Survivor: All-Stars*.

In *Cook Islands*, on the first vote, Omari showed his strategic skills by saving himself from the chopping block and instead, throwing the vote on Kelly Bennich because of her loud personality and weak challenge performance. Both Omari's social and physical skills allowed him to get to the merge, where he began dominating the game. Omari is known for being one of the founders, alongside Danielle Douglas, of the Takutea Final Five Alliance. Omari's responsibility in the alliance, combined with him not being overbearing with his allies and craftily suggesting ideas on the boot order of the former Aitutaki members allowed Omari to successfully target who he wanted to take out of the game. By the time Omari reached the Final Five with his alliance members, his relationship with Danielle grew closer and his dominance in immunity challenges was also seen. In the final days, Omari tightened his bond with Brad Hargrave in order to make the Final Tribal Council. Because of Omari's strong, crafty, and commanding game, he was named the Sole Survivor in *Survivor*'s first ever unanimous vote (8-0-0).

Returning for *All-Stars*, Omari was seen as more of a threat, but was kept pre-switch due to his strength in challenges. Despite his worth on the tribe, Omari was on the bottom of his tribe for every vote, wanting to target Ajay Kumar. Omari's plans fell through after the switch, when the new Dawa tribe saw Omari as too big of a threat and blindsided him in a 4-2 vote against his target, Ajay. Omari became the first winner to be eliminated in a future season, as well as the first winner voted out of *All-Stars*.
