## Brovivor

### Lesotho

Jaiden started out in *Lesotho* placed on a tribe comprised of Survivor Unlimited representatives. Because the season's theme was "Battle of the ORGs", he remained on his initial tribe until a swap, where the Unlimited reps were finally forced to begin attending tribal council. Despite having a quiet, almost inactive, start to his game, Jaiden soon picked up the pace, where by the time the merge hit, he was able to find a Hidden Immunity Idol.

At the Final 10, Jaiden turned on his former Unlimited allies, targeting Ian. With insight from his own alliance that the target was set for Avi, Jaiden successfully played his idol for him, sending Will off to the jury. Angering his Unlimited comrades, Jaiden then found and successfully played another idol for Sal, getting rid of his arch-nemesis Ian at the Final 9.

Afterwards, Jaiden found his third and fourth idols, landing himself in the Final 5 with former Unlimited rep Bailey, new ally Paula, and fringe allies Avi and Sal. It was this round where he pulled off his most shocking move yet - convincing Paula to give away the Individual Immunity to him, Jaiden played his idol for Bailey, canceling the three votes of his new alliance. Bailey and Jaiden cast their two votes for Paula, sending her off to the jury.

Once he reached the Final Tribal Council, Jaiden was heavily criticized for his cutthroat gameplay, aggressive strategy, and poor jury management. Despite a poor showing, Jaiden still managed to win the season in a tight 5-4 vote over Sal, garnering the votes of Ian, Drew, Gruff, Andrew, and Paula.

### Belize

Prior to his return to *Brovivor*, Jaiden was somewhat notable for his Nancy Drew skills pre-season, where he was able to detect who the other nine Favorites were. He also attempted to find a Hidden Immunity Idol prior to the start of the season, which was an impossible task, considering the season's twists.

At the start of the season, Jaiden was partnered with Brennan. When he entered the Devil's Den, he quickly lost confidence that he'd find his precious Hidden Immunity Idol again and gave up early on. A constant complainer, Jaiden tried to vote for himself at the Final 15 Tribal Council, but thankfully host intervention stopped this from taking place. In a last-minute decision, Jaiden pulled off an impressive blindside of Brennan, being the first person to successfully vote out their partner.

His continued reign of chaos was cut soon after, when he was voted out unanimously in 14th place.

### Grand Final

Jaiden's third appearance in *Brovivor* came in the initially-planned final season of the series. Entering with a controversial reputation, he was able to survive against the odds despite a rocky beginning to his game. Conquering personal obstacles and winning over new friends and old enemies, Jaiden entered the merge feeling confident that he had a chance at winning once again. Despite not being able to find Hidden Immunity Idols for himself,

However, at the Final 9, former player Choc sent Jaiden threatening messages and due to the fallout, Jaiden elected to quit the game following that round's tribal council.

> **FINAL WORDS**
> (for spectator eyes only)
> This game obviously took an unprecedented turn and it’s super unfortunate that it ended this way. But I stand for people battling real issues, dealing with self harm, suicidal thoughts, and so many other things. Through my Brovivor experience I’ve learned a lot about myself and learned how far I’ll go to my limits before I break. I’m proud of myself for sticking through my own personal battles and pushing myself to those limits many times throughout this experience. To see my own struggles, the struggles of people I love, the struggles faced by people who are no longer with us, to have that be used as a bartering chip for someone’s game... I had to take a stand. It ruins everything I ever could’ve imagined for myself this season. I am disappointed that it came to this end, but I believe that everything happens for a reason. Let’s reset and readjust.
> With that being said, I am forever thankful for the opportunity to show what I’m made of. The good and bad, I proved to myself and hopefully many others what my mind and willpower are capable of doing in such a crazy environment like this. I’m honored to represent Brovivor in any capacity - as a winner, as a player, as a friend, as whatever that might be. A quitter. A prejuror. Even the bad labels won’t hurt me anymore. Grand Final was an opportunity to let go and say goodbye to my most favorite series ever invented. I know that I could’ve stuck it out to the end and given the jury a run for their money. But in a funny way, I’m happier with this outcome. I made the decision for myself. I’m standing up. I’ll always be proud.
> Thank you guys for the experience and the fond memories. I’ll come to love every minute of it. Thank you for your understanding.
