### Myanmar Summary

James played a great game in Myanmar! He started off on the Sway tribe where he instantly hit it off with his close ally Eamonn and along with Ricky and Cole they formed the Sway core 4 alliance on day 1. Eamonn led the charge to throw challenges to get Hades out which James and the rest of the alliance went along with. When Sway lost the second immunity challenge of the season they put their loyalty to one another to the test, and in a 4-2 vote Hades went home, tightening the bonds of the alliance even more. James found himself swapped onto Dine 2.0 with fellow alliance member Cole. The tribes dynamics was a 2-2-1 split, Lilly and Rose from Pattamyaar and Ventus from OG Dine. Dine 2.0 lost their first immunity challenge and they all began to scramble to secure votes, James became close with Ventus but this wasn't enough to save his ally Cole who went home in a 3-2 vote. James now found himself in the minority but all hope wasn't lost yet as his bond with Ventus was getting tighter every day. Dine 2.0 won their next 2 immunity challenges but it wasn't all good news for James as this saw his Ride or Die Eamonn voted out of the game. However Eamonn managed to defeat reigning champ Booty on Crimson Island and returned to the game at merge much to James' delight. With his number 1 back in the game and a fresh start at the merge camp James was confident in his ability to make it far into the game.

After the merge row between Eamonn and Apollo a clear line was being formed in the sand, this saw James' Dine 2.0 buddy Ventus and his ride or die Eamonn leading the charge of opposite sides. This turned out to be beneficial for James' late game as he was never targeted in the early stages of the merge. James used Eamonn as a shield to propel him further into the game. With Sway ally Ricky out of the game it left Eamonn and James as the last of their core alliance and with their new allys Piggy, Travis and Riolen they felt confident they could get to the end. It wasn't that easy though as Ventus had found the Ruby which gave him enough advantages to wipe out Riolen, Eamonn, Travis AND Piggy. James felt as though he was next in line to fall to Ventus and his alliances power trip in the game but Ventus ally Lilly had made a plan to blindside him and his number 2 Berry. James had convinced her she would not beat either of them at the end and needed to flip sides to get them out. With Ventus immune the only option was Berry, Lilly agreed and along with Rose and Will they now had a 4-2 majority and a MASSIVE blindside was about to shake up the whole game. But sadly right at the last moment after the votes were cast Lillys emotions got the best of her and to save her original ally Berry she played her SWP on him sending Will home in a 4\*-2 vote and now leaving James on the last of his 9 lives. James fought for the final 5 immunity win but he fell short to Berry and was sent packing in a 4-2 vote. James' scrappy game play is certainly impressive and I hope we get to see him compete again!

### All Stars Summary

James took control of his tribe on day one. Becoming part of every single alliance without even making one. Not much happened on his tribe due to James having a complete lock on his tribe. James was completely untouchable right until tribe swap. When the swap hit James made the fatal mistake of letting people know he had an idol. This gave Ash the opportunity they were looking for and pulled off one of the best blindsides of the season, eliminating James with an idol in his pocket.

### Awards

James won **Biggest Underdog** and **Social Butterfly** in Goldvivor: Myanmar.
