JP Langley

**Days Lasted:** | 37

**JP Langley** is a contestant from *Simvivor: Dragon Valley*.

## Profile

JP is a massive fan of *Simvivor*, but it might surprise some when they learn that he’s never dreamt of playing the show. He, along with his sister Danica, were recruited for the show due to their prominence in the *Simvivor* fanbase. A recent graduate from medical school, JP is just getting his start in his career, but decided to hang up his lab coat for a chance at a million Simoleons. Eager to make big moves, JP knows that his deceptive gameplay and lack of social charm may never award him the title of Sole Survivor, but his lurking hunger for fame will drive him all the way to the Final Tribal Council, for better or for worse.

## Simvivor

Heading into *Dragon Valley*, JP reveled in the fact that he was going to play a cutthroat game and stab everybody in the back. Playing with his younger sister Danica Edmonds, JP had to work twice as hard at the start of the season to bring Danica up to speed with the strategic know-how to get each other as far as possible. Surprisingly making friends, JP and Savannah Dream had ambitions to formulate a heavy-hitting alliance down the road, but the two became quickly separated by a surprise tribe swap.

Thankfully still on the same tribe as Danica, JP remained in the background for the next couple episodes, making good work at avoiding confrontations with others, but he also softened his approach as time went along. Building what he believed to be an authentic relationship to the motherly Cindy Alto-Landgraab, JP was stunned to learn that she had been plotting against him for a joke he had made about voting her off at a future Tribal Council. JP's established friendships to both Corinne Gomez and Morticia Goth helped him in avoiding elimination, getting rid of one of Cindy's close allies instead while still maintaining strength for upcoming challenges.

Although JP and Cindy worked through their differences, the rebuilt friendship felt purely transactional from Cindy. At the merge, JP (and Danica) were left out of the vote on multiple occasions, having to witness the utter dismantling of their alliances and friendships vote by vote. Down and out, JP was considered to be the brains of the "Sneaky Siblings" duo between himself and Danica, but his heart and conviction saved them from a certain elimination when Cindy had a change of plans. Succeeding in eliminating the threatening Florian McPhee against Eugene Landgraab's will, JP regained the confidence he needed to push onward.

At the final five, JP won his first Individual Immunity, hoping to turn Luke Holland against the married couple, but his plans were foiled when Luke remained loyal and voted out Danica at that night's Tribal Council. Losing final four Immunity, JP's only chance at survival was through a fire-making tiebreaker, but he was unable to rely on Luke's vote to make it happen. Luke's complete dismissal of JP despite JP's best efforts led to a controversial moment where Luke told JP there was no chance he would survive the night. Voted out in fourth place, JP joined the majority of the jurors in voting for Cindy to win *Dragon Valley*.

During the season's Reunion Show, JP and Luke exchanged harsh words for each other. JP was called out by Luke and Arianna Duffy for his villainous strategy "behind the scenes", while Cindy defended him and the audience booed Luke off the stage.

## Post-Simvivor

* After *Dragon Valley*, JP wrote a best-selling drama novel and quit his job to pursue a "career" in reality television.
* JP stated that he was contacted for *The Challenge: The Duel* and *Battle of the Sexes*, but declined both times due to personal reasons.
* JP went on a health and wellness retreat to Selvadorada with *Simvivor* alumni Jordan Daniels, Kat Indie, and Vivian Yondar. He has stated that since the adventure, he has lost weight and gained the confidence to compete on *Simvivor* again, "if the time is right and the money is good."

## Trivia
