Jesse

**Jesse** was a contestant on **Trinity Survivor: South Africa** & **Trinity Survivor:  Forged by Fire.**

New to the org community, Jesse’s social prowess and fearlessness to make moves during merge made her a fierce competitor and biggest threat, which gave her the title of Player of the Season.

She returned one season later for All Stars, being one of the biggest threats to enter the game, Jesse knew she had to fight tooth & nail to survive, once again taking controlling and deciding the votes, making it to the end, but losing at Final Tribal Council earning 2nd place, by a 6-3-0 vote.

## South Africa:

Being new to the org community, Jesse came into the game ready to play and get to know people. She was placed on the Duiwelspiek tribe and socially connected with a lot of people, she grew extremely close with Oli and the pair became a duo, with Oli she became apart of the JJON alliance which consisted of herself, Oli, Jerry & Nik with a smaller trio alliance without Nik being made, as well as the Early Birdz alliance with Oli & Craig. She also grew close with Chloe and made a showmance alliance with her & Oli. During the first days, she was able to find the Duiwelspiek tribe idol and she decided to not reveal that information to anyone. Jesse’s strong social status, helped her be made apart of the Abrielle blindside at Final 17 but also make her well connected with everyone on her tribe, putting her in a strong position.

During the tribe swap, she stayed in Duiwelspiek along with, Nik, Chloe & Craig with new additions to the tribe being Billy, Michael, Savanna & Rachael. Shequickly formed a close bond with Rachael & Savanna separately and during the first tribal, she decided to go against her original tribemates and vote off Nik and after Craig quit the game at Final 15, she grew closer to original Leeukop members which kept her safe during the tribe swap phase. Before the merge, just before Billy’s vote off, he decided to pass on his safety without power to Jesse.

Once at merge, Jesse came into the merge in one of the best spots as she had her connections from the tribe swap, plus reuniting with Oli, she was untouchable for the first merge tribal, she was brought into an alliance with Josh, Evelyn, Megan & Rachael and was made to believe she could not trust the others, however after the tribal with Savanna being voted off, she reconnected with Oli & knew she could trust him, whilst still staying close with her merge alliance. However she started fighting with Michael due to conflicting interests. This worry made her use her Safety Without Power at Final 10, however her close ally Oli was voted off during that tribal, so she has to adapt. During the Final 8 she was in a swing vote position with the trio of Josh/Evelyn/Rachael but also with Jerry/Michael/Chloe & Megan who was looking to flip, she decided to flip to flush out Josh’s super idol, however at Final 7, she decided to flip back to her merge alliance and vote off Jerry.

At Final 6 the trio of Josh, Evelyn & Rachael decided to target Jesse, but she was able to have Megan & Chloe vote Rachael and tie the vote , but also go to rocks which made her safe and get on to Final 5 with her idol from Duiwelspiek as Chloe drew the purple rock and was voted off. At Final 5, she used her idol on Megan which negated three votes off of her and caused Josh to be blindsided at Final 5. At Final 4 when she did not win immunity, she knew Evelyn & Rachael were voting for her and were not switching, however Megan voted with her and caused her to go into a tie breaker challenge against Rachael, which she lost and was voted off on Day 38 and was the 8th Jury Member. At Final Tribal Council, she decided to vote for Rachael due to believing she played a stronger all round game.

## Forged by Fire:

Jesse returned to the game and placed on the Kubou tribe. Knowing that she came into the game being one of the threats straight out the gate, she knew she had to use her social strengths to keep safe, which she was able to do, forming a trio alliance with Jake A & Madison whilst also forming a bond with Joel. This helped Jesse take control of Kubou 1.0, causing the vote offs of Livingston & Grace, on Kubou she was once again able to find the Kubou tribe idol and she only told Jake as she was working with him to get the idol. During the first tribe swap, Jesse was swapped to the Auahi tribe along with Jake A & Joel from her original tribe, along with Jerry, Pietro, Tyler, Jay & Tim. Their strength in challenges meant that she did not attend tribal during this tribe swap phase, this helped her grow closer to Jake A and also rebuild her friendship with Jerry from South Africa, which meant if she did go to tribal, she would be safe.

During the second tribe swap, she was swapped to Tuati along with Jerry and was joined by Maynor, Rachael, Zachy, Josh & Stoner. She was pulled into a majority alliance straight away with former South Africa players Jerry, Rachael & Josh, who all voted together and eliminated Stoner at their first tribal. After Josh was removed from the game, she remained close with Jerry & Rachael to stay safe, however her & Rachael never fully trusted each other during that time. During the final tribe swap, she swapped back to Auahi with Jerry, Maynor & Zachy along with Ned, Jay, X & Keaton. She still stayed close with Jerry and also formed a close bond with Keaton. She ability to connect well with people, she was able to stay safe, which kept her safe during X & Zachy’s vote off, getting her to merge once again.

Once at merge, Jesse reunited with Jake A & Madison again and also connected with Blake. They were able to pull in Maynor & Keaton to gain a majority which helped them control the first two vote offs of Connor & Ned. During the Final 11, Jesse felt like she was getting votes so she worked to find out and when she found out that she was getting votes, she decided to play her idol at tribal which meant 7 vote was negated off of her and she was able to get to Final 10. At Final 10, she voted with her alliance and voted off Rachael, however at Final 9 she was felt blindsided with Madison was voted off after the other side, saved their votes to gain a majority, this caused Jesse & Jake A to save their votes at Final 8 and let Keaton get voted off at Final 7. During Armageddon Night, she saved her vote once again at Final 7 as she knew she was not getting votes, but at Final 6 when all vote discussion had to be open, she decided to use her 3 votes and vote for Jerry, but when Jerry used an idol on himself, so when she revoted, she decided to blindside Blake due to his threat level. At Final 5, Jesse was set to make Final Tribal Council, however Tim was removed from the game, which caused Jesse to scramble, once Jerry won final immunity, she decided now was the time to blindside her closest ally Jake A due to having a stronger social game, but also felt like they played the same game, so decided to vote off Jake A at Final 4. At Final Tribal Council, Jess was praised for her strong strategic game and being able to be a big threat for the entire game and still make it to the end with 0 valid votes, however some of the jury believed she her ruthless and villainous game, caused her to jury management to suffer. She received votes from Jake A, Blake & Madison at the end and finished in 2nd place.
