JJ

**JJ** was the Sole Survivor from *Trinity Survivor: Nonary Game*.

Being apart of one of the physically dominant tribes in Trinity Survivor history, JJ made his Mark as one of the best physical players, having to fight each round just to survive, JJ managed to make it to the end and his underdog story, plus amazing physical performance, made him get crowned Sole Survivor.

## Nonary Game:

Starting off on the Jirenma tribe, JJ set off to get allies. Not one for alliances, JJ instead approached the game differently, he decided to talk to everyone and have good communication & standings with most people and also appear dumber than he was. He did this with Zac who he became extremely close too. But also with Tyler & Brandan who seemed to be running things on Jirenma quite quickly, JJ wanted them to think they could use him and he had no real control. This helped him become a part of the team opening the doors for the Bracelet Twist. Losing only one challenge during the entire premerge, JJ was usually safe which meant he could focus on building those bonds and strengthening his relationships.

During the swap he stayed on Jirenma along with Zac his closest ally, them along with Marvyn, Brandan & Carson formed a majority against Justin & Kynzee who had swapped over to their tribe, however continuing their winning streak in challenges, Jirenma never went to tribal, until the double tribal where both tribes went. During this round JJ managed to win individual immunity, keeping him safe, however the vote was always between Justin & Kynzee and with JJ wanting Justin over Kynzee, subtly convinced his allies to keep Justin, voting off Kynzee.

Going into merge, JJ stayed strong with Jirenma members, remaining close to his ride or die Zac, but also starting to build connections with Justin & John from Bitoku. He wanted with majority at Final 10 voting for Michael but when Jason used an idol on Michael, it meant Marvyn was voted off instead. At Final 9, JJ decided to try and form a group consisting of himself, Zac, Justin & John and decided that after this vote they would all look out for each other. However, both duos wanted different player gone so decided to vote differently, but JJ and the other three were left blindsided when the other 5 voted off Zac. After this, JJ knew he was in the bottom and the next target so knew he had to start performing in the challenges, which he did winning Final 8 & 7 immunity respectively. During Final 8 he finally voted in majority as he watched Brandan get voted off, but at Final 7 JJ, who already was working with Justin & John, pulled in Carson as all 4 had felt left out by the Bitoku Strong alliance and blindsided Michael was believed to be the biggest threat at that point, sending him out at 7th.

JJ lost immunity at Final 6 and believed he was going home as Jason had ignored him for the entire game, feeling like he was the most vulnerable and on the bottom. He thought his game was over, however he was felt shocked when Jason, Calum & Carson all decided to vote for Justin instead. JJ knew that vote out was his only chance in the game, if he screwed up again, he was gone, so he once again focused on the immunity challenges. He won Final immunity at Final 5 & 4, working with Carson & John to vote off Jason at 5, but at 4 he decided to vote with Calum which sent Callum & Carson into a tie breaker challenge. This was because JJ wanted Callum to leave feeling the best about JJ, which seemed to work as Callum lost and was eliminated from the game. At Final 3, JJ once again won the individual immunity, winning the final one. He decided in the end to vote off Carson over John, as he believed that Carson had played a bigger, flashier game, making more moves and having more control than John.

At Final Tribal Council, JJ relied on his underdog storyline to prove how hard he had to work to get to the end. Jurors were hesitant due to believing JJ only relied on his physical game, however once JJ showed that he was strategic, and had a strong social game. Plus with catering his answers to certain jury members in order to gain their vote, this work when Zac, Brandan, Michael & Calum all voted for JJ to win, crowning him the Sole Survivor over John in a narrow 4-3 victory.
