Q12H

**Q12H**, also known as **Jon**, is a contestant on *Survivor: Black Hills*.

A polarizing character all throughout the entire game, Jon was one of the biggest personalities of the season, and was targeted somewhat frequently due to his close allyship with power player Vincent and overall scheming. Spared by an idol at the Final 9 that was played on him by Vincent, the tribe felt Jon and Vincent were too threatening of a duo to allow to advance any further in the game, and as the latter won immunity, Jon was targeted once again - this time, successfully.

## Survivor: Black Hills

Jon started out in a slippery position on the original Mo'Hota Tribe, having undying allegiance for Vincent with Vincent not feeling the same. Despite finding Jon condescending and untrustworthy at first, Vincent slowly grew to like and trust Jon more, and this bond developed even further once Vincent narrowly found the immunity idol over Jon. After being inducted into the first alliance on Mo'Hota with Zephyr and Vincent, Jon seemed to have repaired his social position on the tribe.

The swap saw Jon going with the flow of the rest of the tribe to take out public enemy #1 in Hiya to start, and he remained under the radar largely due to seeing his ally Vincent swapped to the other tribe. However, as the swap progressed, he grew wary of players he found to be threatening, such as Matty and even his previous ally Zephyr. However, it was McKenna who was targeted for her lessening activity, which did not make Jon happy. He tried to save her, but realized he could not and gave in to voting her out with the rest of the tribe. A well-timed Greed challenge made Jon intrigued, and he spent the whole day considering taking Greed because he did not want to attend a joint tribal council and have to talk to eight more people.

Jon's decision to take Greed caused some annoyance throughout the tribe, because this was Mo'Hota's fourth tribal council in a row and the tribe wanted a taste of immunity. Following this avoidable tribal council, Sebastián, who Jon was not closely aligned with, was blindsided for his untrustworthiness, and Jon's potential target began to shrink. Whether he had a target on his back at this point, however, did not matter, as he won individual immunity once again on Day 20 during the Double Tribal Council round, which forced Mo'Hota to attend a fifth straight tribal council. This time, Captain was voted out for their weaker social connections. Once Mo'Hota lost a sixth immunity challenge, Jon felt in danger. However, his relationship with Zephyr (which had been slowly blossoming throughout the swap) reignited at the perfect time, and after they admitted to him that Matty wanted to target him, the vote fell onto Matty.

Entering the merge, Jon immediately reconnected with Vincent. His duo with Vincent became quite obvious to the rest of the tribe, but they were spared trouble when Jae became a simple first vote after the merge due to their faltering connections with the rest of the tribe in comparison to others. Following Jae's exit, Alex won a reward challenge which included an idol clue in the reward. This allowed Alex to successfully find the merge immunity idol, and Jon found out quickly that this was the case. He wanted to tell everyone, and launched a last-minute plan to blindside Alex. However, Jon's duo with Vincent became incredibly threatening by this point, and many members of the tribe had other ideas. Jon received a majority of the votes on Day 28, but was spared by Vincent choosing to play his immunity idol on Jon, which sent out Madison in a shocking 2-1-0 vote. With Jon now still alive and Vincent still in possession of an immunity idol, the pair seemed set to make it another few days in the game. However, Vincent's failure to alert Jon to switch his vote to Jude and take out Jude instead of Madison came back to haunt the pair, as Jude launched a campaign to take out Jon once and for all. After Vincent lost his vote, Jon was deemed helpless, and could only rely on Vincent's immunity idol. However, Vincent chose to hold on to his immunity idol in order to separate himself from Jon, and Jon was voted out in a 5-1 vote, becoming the third member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Jon was split between each finalist. He asked each finalist what they liked about him and what they would change about their game, and also gave each finalist their own personal questions. Jude enjoyed Jon's carefree attitude and wished he was more open to working with him and Vincent. Zephyr loved Jon's genuine demeanor and wished they were more careful with their words sometimes. Jessie loved Jon's sense of humor and wished she had informed Pat that the numbers were there to get rid of Austin instead of Jon. Ultimately, Jon chose to vote for Zephyr to win the game, which they did in a 4-3-0 jury vote.
