James Nedah

**James Nedah** is a contestant on Survivor: Guam and Survivor: Croatia.

James was put on the Alico tribe and made connections with his tribemates quickly, specifically with Irvin. They were both a part of the majority alliance. He would then go on to find an idol with Irvin. At the swap, Irvin made James worried, as he always switched plans, so he flipped and voting him out. This put a target on James, with Kyle wanting him out but when Anita quit, James was saved. When the merge came, James tried to stay quiet and decreased his threat level. He played his idol unnecessarily but his strategy still worked and although he was in the minority for the first part of the merge, he was never targeted. When Skyla and Kyle turned to Abbey and James for allies, they welcomed them and created a new alliance, The Unlikely Alliance. Alexis played an idol, however, and made the alliances even. A rock draw occurred and Skyla was sent home. This put James in a bad position but ultimately everybody decided to vote out Kyle over James, as Kyle was a bigger threat. James lost the final immunity challenge and despite his efforts, his luck ran out and he became the final member of the jury.

## Survivor: Guam

James is the underdog this season. Being a young, struggling student, from Cambridge it’s hard not to underestimate him. James goes to Harvard where he studies mathematics. He plans to use his smarts to finish puzzles quickly to win immunity challenges and brew amazing strategic moves to win the game.

**Name (Age)**: James Nedah (20)
**Tribe Designation**: Alico​
**Current Residence**: Cambridge, MA
**Occupation**: Student
**Hobbies**: Reading, Writing, Learning.
**Pet Peeves**: People that act arrogantly.
**Three Words to Describe You**: Intelligent, Strategic, and a little bit Awkward.
**Reason for Being on Survivor**: I have watched this show for a long time and I've wanted to go on it for ages. I think I have a good chance at winning so I thought, why not? Another reason is for the money. Trust me, I need it.
**Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor**: I will be underestimated. Being one of the youngest people on the cast, already I will be overlooked. People won't realise that there is much more to me. I plan to play an extremely smart game, and do whatever I best for me, and my shot at winning.

## Survivor: Croatia

**Name (Age):** James Nedah (21)

**Residence:** Cambridge, Massachusetts

**Occupation:** Student

**Tribe:** Cres

**Previous Finishes:** Guam: 4th

**Player You Respect The Most:** I'll actually say Alyssa-Mae. I'm not typically the biggest fan of the so-called "bitchy" girl who's put on the island simply for drama, but Alyssa actually has depth as a character. She played a really good game, which obviously won her the million. So I enjoyed watching her play on her season.

**Player You Respect The Least:** Oh, this is easy. It's Tyler, *also* from last season. I've already had the fortune of playing the game before, but I know so many people who would *kill* to be on this show. Sleeping the whole time is a real slap in the face to them, so him taking up a slot on the cast is something I don't respect.

**Favourite Past Moment:** I'm going to say participating in the final immunity challenge of my season. Playing Hands on a Hard Idol has been a real dream of mine, so actually doing it was *surreal*. It was such a monumental moment for me, and even though I didn't win it, I came damn close. Just playing in that challenge signified how far I had come.

**What's Changed Since You Last Played?** My determination and passion for this game has only grown since I competed on Guam. I was one day short of making it to the end, and if Chase and Natasha didn't bring the obvious biggest threat to the final tribal council with them in the name of "loyalty", I would have won... still salty by the way. *(laughs)*

**Why Are You Playing Again?** To win! I don't think I need to say anything more.
