**Days Lasted:** | 39

**Jeana Houghton** is a contestant from *Simvivor: Lunar Lakes*.

## Profile

Originally hailing from Riverblossom Hills, Jeana moved to San Myshuno with the goals of opening her own retail store selling her artistic creations. However, she suffered an immense artist’s block which could likely be attributed to a player accidentally turning off the “high autonomy” setting. As a result, her heart feels a little lost at the moment, so applying and getting cast for *Simvivor* was the shockwave she needed to re-energize her desire to create exquisite art. Jeana is currently single and ready to mingle.

## Simvivor

Jeana's start in *Simvivor* seemed shrouded in controversy, as her attempt to become her tribe's leader was later met with an overthrowing, courtesy of her later-ally Mike Lachlan. Seen as erratic and annoying, Jeana began to grow her redemption story as she re-integrated herself into the tribe's majority. An easy target at multiple pre-merge Tribal Councils, Jeana never quite received enough votes to be eliminated, but she was constantly perceived to be outside of the tribe's developing power structure.

Once the merge began, Jeana was capable of building close connections to nearly everyone on the new tribe. Butting heads with Billie Windham in particular, Jeana was part of the powerful Galactic Four alliance that wiped out the remaining Celestial tribe members one after the other. However, Jeana often felt unsatisfied with her position within the alliance, so she sought out important Immunity Challenge wins to build her resumé, in the event she made it to the Final Tribal Council. Although originally underrated in the challenge aspect of the game, Jeana managed to win two Individual Immunities and came close to winning some Reward Challenges, as well. Her third and final win came at the Final Three, where she was tasked with eliminating alliance leader Mike, or the mean-spirited Ignacio Gomez. Feeling confident in her chances, she chose to take Ignacio to the Final Tribal Council.

The jury initially seemed in favor of voting for her to win, but Jeana floundered in the questioning portion. She also lost support from vocal jurors Mike and Billie due to previous transgressions within the game. Jeana's story of redemption, second chances, and female dominance still garnered respect from other jurors, but ultimately she lost out by just one vote, marking her as the first-ever runner-up in *Simvivor* history.

At the Reunion Show, Jeana admitted that the sudden fame was difficult to process, but it inspired her to continue creating her artwork. Jeana was hesitant to state if she would ever be interested in playing *Simvivor* again, as Merissa Horvath suggested the idea of a potential "All Stars" season down the line.

## Post-Simvivor
