## Survivor

Jamal was an active participant during the marooning before being placed on the notoriously unlucky Amethyst Tribe. Jamal’s open personality helped him connect with everyone on his tribe, and he was pulled into an early alliance called the Early Birds with Nate, Isabella, and Kham. When Amethyst lost the first challenge, Nate pushed Pebbles as the vote to the Early Birds. Jamal preferred to vote for Kham due to Kham’s more aggressive play style and his own relationship with Pebbles. But when Kham began to push Mason, Jamal saw an opportunity to keep Pebbles and stick with the Early Birds and Mason was unanimously voted out. Flava joined the Amethyst Tribe from his exile at the Lunar Sea Spire.

When Flava showed Nate the (useless) Crystal Shrimp command he found while in exile, Nate worried that Flava had an idol and would use it if Amethyst went to Tribal Council again. Nate and Kham pushed a Pebbles vote in hopes that Flava would flush whatever advantage he may have gotten at exile if he believed he was in danger. Jamal and Isabella preferred to keep Pebbles, but both ultimately caved to vote with their alliance. Pebbles trusted Jamal to tell her if she was in trouble and voted Flava, leaving her blindsided out of the game in 18th place.

After Pebbles was voted out, the Amethysts fought hard on the next immunity challenge but came up just short yet again, sending them back to Tribal Council for the third time in a row. Flava was made the easy target as the last outsider to the Early Birds alliance, who stayed loyal to one another.

At the swap, Jamal was put onto Sapphire 1.0, where he was the sole Amethyst on a tribe made up of four Garnets (Vivi, Simone, Joey, and Rhone) and three Pearls (Brandon, Antony, and Dumpy). Sapphire 1.0 went on to dominate the next two challenges, giving Jamal a chance to build connections notably with Vivi, Simone, and Dumpy.

Jamal swapped to Sapphire 2.0 during the second swap, staying with Rhone, Brandon, Antony, and Vivi and meeting Olly and Treavor from Ruby 1.0.

When no one took the necklace during Greed, Jamal was left out of the vote when a majority alliance of Brandon, Vivi, Antony, and Olly targeted Treavor. Treavor was voted out in a 4-2-1, with Treavor throwing his vote on Brandon in case Antony had an idol.

Sapphire 2.0 was sent back to Tribal Council the following round, where Rhone emerged as the obvious target with the idea of merge looming. He made a last-ditch effort to save himself by trying to put the target on Vivi and her idol, but was unsuccessful.

When the tribes merged, Jamal was able to reconnect with allies Simone and Dumpy. After the challenge results, Joey started pushing for an Olly blindside. The Amethysts, particularly Nate and Kham, jumped on board with the Olly blindside plan with Joey as the decoy. Brandon leaked the vote to Olly and Vivi, and Dumpy, Vivi, Olly, and Brandon decided to vote out Kham and pulled in Simone. The subsequent scrambling led to the most chaotic tribal of the season, wherein Brandon and Antony's names were also thrown out as targets. Simone told Jamal that Kham was likely going, but Jamal chose to keep his vote on Joey to make himself appear unconnected and to hide his relationship with Simone.

Vivi, worried that her idols were putting too big of a target on her back, transferred her merge idol to Olly. At tribal, Vivi played her Garnet idol on Brandon to ensure his safety, and Olly played Vivi's merge idol on himself. Dumpy threw their vote on Olly to try to cover their tracks and hide the fact that they were the one who leaked the Olly plan to Brandon, Olly, and Vivi. Kham was eliminated in a 5-4-1-~~1~~ vote, with Brandon receiving no votes against him and Olly negating Dumpy's rogue vote against him.

During the auction, Jamal won a vote steal. Dumpy found themselves in hot water due to their role in the chaos of the merge vote. Vivi planned to stick close to Olly and Brandon, and the three of them began questioning Dumpy's motives and why they ended up being the only Olly vote. Brandon decided to save Dumpy and convinced Vivi and Olly to push for a Nate vote instead. Nate was voted out 7-2-1, with Joey and Nate voting Dumpy and Isabella voting Vivi out of spite.

At the Final 9, Brandon decided to make his move against Vivi and Olly. Knowing Olly still had the Pearl idol, Brandon rallied Simone, Antony, Jamal, and Dumpy to blindside Olly with the idol in his pocket, leaving Isabella, Olly, Vivi, and Joey in the dark by telling them the vote was Antony. Surprisingly, no one leaked the vote to Olly. However, Olly grew suspicious that he was being blindsided and told Vivi and Isabella. Vivi didn't believe that they were actually being blindsided since she assumed Simone would tip her off if a vote was being made against her. Olly played the idol on himself, successfully negating the five votes against him and sending Antony out of the game with just three votes against him.

After Olly won immunity, Brandon tried to throw Dumpy under the bus for the attempted Olly blindside. A new alliance of Jamal, Simone, and Vivi formed, and they redirected the vote onto Brandon, recruiting Olly and Isabella to vote with them and blindsiding Brandon in a 5-2-1 vote. Isabella voted for Jamal to ruin his chance at a perfect game.

During the F7 round, a new majority alliance of Dumpy, Jamal, Joey, and Simone formed called Fuck The Patriarchy and targeted Olly as a jury threat. Simone chose to leave Vivi out of the vote, causing tension between the two while Jamal escaped the vote relatively unscathed.

Simone won the Final 6 immunity challenge and Isabella was eliminated due to her perceived Jury threat status. Jamal played his vote steal on her to ensure that she went and because it was the last round he could play it. At the Final 5, Dumpy won immunity meaning the vote seemed like it was going to fall on Vivi due to her challenge strength and strong gameplay. But Simone found herself in the middle when Joey and Vivi began to push Jamal. In the end, Simone sided with her Day 2 allies Vivi and Joey to vote out her longtime ally Jamal in a 3-2 vote.

In Ponderosa, Jamal didn’t believe Simone voted against him but when he learned that she did, his expectations for her to own her game at Final Tribal Council were high. In the end, Jamal voted for Vivi to win the game.
