Claude Parker

**Claude William Parker** is a contestant from *Zovivor: KwaZulu-Natal*.

A quiet personality who tended to play passively, floating between alliances, Claude initially was perceived as a non-factor during the premerge and early merge. Several key players, including Sota Yamada, Charlotte Swan, Jeremy Hartenberger, Josiah Stoltzfus, Pablo Domingo, and Rusty Gerber all wanted to bring Claude to the end at one point. However, this perception backfired on Claude, as he was targeted at the final 8 for being the most likely to make it to the final tribal council. As a surprise to everybody, Claude was able to save himself through a hidden immunity idol play, single-handedly taking out Jeremy, one of the biggest threats of the season. This marked a shift, where Claude took on a more powerful, active role in the strategic flow of the game. He was able to lead the eliminations of Pablo and Rusty, but found himself on the outs when Sisi Sisuwan played her own hidden immunity idol to break apart Claude's final 3 with Charlotte and Josiah. After he lost the following immunity challenge, Claude was voted out at the final 4 for being too big of a threat to win.

## Survivor

Christina was initially placed on the all-female Salani tribe, where she caught the ire of Alicia Rosa when she tried to make a deal with the men of the rival Manono tribe to help them set up their camp. This led to a heated argument between the two in their first Tribal Council: a rivalry that would last for most of the game. After Salani lost another Immunity Challenge on Day 6, Christina found herself in the minority, as the majority Salani Alliance of Alicia, Chelsea Meissner, Kat Edorsson, Kim Spradlin, and Sabrina Thompson voted out Nina Acosta.

After Nina's ouster, the women agreed to set aside their differences and become a more cohesive tribe, which led to an upstream of three consecutive challenge victories, sending the Manono tribe to their first Tribal Council. The winning streak ended at the fourth Immunity Challenge, and Christina was presumably set to be Salani's next casualty, but was saved when Manono unprecedentedly forfeited their immunity to settle an insurmountable dispute.

A Tribe Switch on Day 12 sent Christina, Alicia, and Monica Culpepper to the new Manono tribe. Christina believed herself to be in a majority with the other two women and Colton Cumbie, the lone gay Manono member who had befriended the women from the start. However, Alicia and Colton had conspired to eliminate Christina and Monica. Seen as a bigger threat than Christina, however, Alicia and Colton directed the vote against Monica instead. Alone, Christina found herself not only on the outs, but also ridiculed by the two conspirators, more so after attempting to convince Colton's allies, Jonas Otsuji, Leif Manson, and Tarzan Smith, to turn on him. Despite Colton's mistreatment towards her, she later found him in the jungle curled in a ball suffering from an illness and helped him back to camp. When this illness resulted in Colton being medically evacuated on Day 16, the two tribes merged at Tribal Council with six men and six women.

After making amends with Alicia, Christina was adopted into the women's alliance, seeking to systematically eliminate the men. Convincing the men switched to Salani, Jay Byars, Michael Jefferson, and Troyzan Robertson, to turn against their fellow men, they eliminated Jonas in a 10-2 vote. It was too late when the men found themselves tricked by the women, and for the next three votes, Troyzan's Hidden Immunity Idol was used for naught, and Michael, Jay, and Leif were next to go.

Desperate to stay alive, Troyzan attempted to fake a Hidden Immunity Idol to fool the women. As a contingency plan, Christina allowed herself to be in a Split Vote with Troyzan, potentially allowing the women to eliminate Troyzan in a revote in case Troyzan did not use the idol. Christina leaked the plan to Troyzan as an attempt to seize the game for herself. However, Troyzan instead used the information as an opening to pit Christina against the other women. The leak turned out to be inconsequential as the women held strong, voting out Troyzan, with Christina avoiding elimination by a single vote. Christina's non-threat status allowed her to navigate through the next two votes where the women blindsided Kat, who believed that she was more invaluable to the alliance than Christina was, before finishing Tarzan, and by extension, the men, off.

With the men wiped out, the pairs of Christina and Alicia, and Chelsea and Sabrina vied to secure a final three pact with Kim, who had won the next Immunity Challenge. Despite Kim considering voting Chelsea out and taking Christina to the Final Three instead, she chose to honor her accord with Chelsea and Sabrina, eliminating Alicia, the perceived better player from the minority, first. Feeling cornered, Christina put up a valiant effort at the Final Immunity Challenge, going toe on toe with Kim, though Kim won the challenge by a hair. Defeated, Christina expressed that she had accepted her fate, despite Kim's last-minute wavering whether or not she should keep Chelsea. Refusing to make a final pitch, Christina became the final jury member in a 3-1 vote.

At the Final Tribal Council, she praised Kim for her superior game while alluding to Chelsea being a mean person. She was mentioned by Jonas when he questioned why no one considered bringing Christina to the end. In the end, Christina cast her vote for Kim, who ultimately won the title of Sole Survivor and the million dollar prize.
