J'Tia is a contestant from *Survivor: Kaôh Rōng* and *Survivor: Island of Secrets*.

## Survivor: Kaôh Rōng

J'Tia began *Survivor: Kaôh Rōng* on the blue Chan Loh tribe. She approached Levi early on and the pair made a strong alliance, needing more people for the numbers. Felix later spoke to the pair, increasing their power and having the potential to at least force a tie. Chan Loh lost the first immunity challenge. J'Tia and Levi told Felix to vote for Dre. At tribal council, the pair voted for Dre, Felix voted for J'Tia but the majority alliance blindsided Felix. Deflated, J'Tia and Levi were alone, but tried searching for a Hidden Immunity Idol for safety. This was not successful, but the tribe won the next two immunity challenges and were saved by an unfortunate evacuation on Day 11.

On Day 12, a tribe dissolve occurred where J'Tia remained on Chan Loh with Grainne and were joined by To Tang's Isaiah, Paisley and Naya and Gondol's India and Courtney N. J'Tia was approached by both alliance, To Tang and Gondol, on a quest for power. Grainne, now apart of the Gondol group, apologised to J'Tia for her abrasive behaviour and after making amends, joined their alliance. When the tribe lost immunity, the girls told her to vote for Isaiah. However, this was ploy to display trust, thus tying the votes between India and Naya. At the Tie-Breaking Revote, J'Tia wanted to prove her loyalty to the alliance and voted with them to get rid of Naya.

The girls kept her close following the vote, but Isaiah brought J'Tia by the well, where they overheard them talking bad about her. J'Tia was hurt by their betrayal and prepared to join Isaiah and Paisley. When Chan Loh lost their second challenge in a row, J'Tia was told by Isaiah to vote for India. When approaching the girls for their vote, Grainne said it was going to be Isaiah. At tribal, India made a big revelation of the idol she found back at Gondol but J'Tia didn't think India would use it, thinking she was still aligned with them. J'Tia voted for India, thinking that Isaiah was her friend. However, the idol reveal scared To Tang, who unanimously voted out J'Tia after 16 days.

## Survivor: Island of Secrets

For living in Illinois at the time of filming, J'Tia then returned for *Survivor: Island of Secrets* originally on the purple Ta'alo tribe along with castaways from midwestern regions of the United States. Apart from Lily, the new players warmly welcomed J'Tia into their tribe. This was proven in their decision to send her to the Island of Secrets on Days 3 and 6, but she was unsuccessful in obtaining an advantage either time. When Ta'alo lost the immunity challenge on Day 10, J'Tia voted with Danni and Doug in order to get rid of Lily because she was campaigning against J'Tia from the beginning. When Ta'alo lost the Double Tribal Council on Day 12, J'Tia and Danni felt vulnerable because the men had formed such a tight trio. However, they convinced Doug to work with them and Omar was blindsided.

At the tribe dissolve, J'Tia was selected by Elias to join the new Sa'ula tribe along with her original tribe member Micah. The original Laumei castaways were ostracised when the SALT Alliance of Sa'ula, Ta'alo and Manumalo castaways was formed. At their first loss on Day 14, J'Tia voted with this group to split the votes between Jodie and Rahul which led to Rahul's elimination at the revote. After Sa'ula lost their second consecutive challenge, J'Tia's alliance voted out Jodie. She was concerned that Micah hadn't voted with the majority, but was comfortable enough in her new alliance that she didn't feel the need to garner his vote. On Day 20, J'Tia was sent to the Island of Secrets and won an opportunity to force a second tribe switch ala *Survivor: Gabon*. She feared being switched into a minority position and decided against using this advantage.

At the Final Thirteen, J'Tia made the merge and was reunited with her original Ta'alo allies Danni and Doug. At the first merged tribal council, J'Tia's Ta'alo castaways voted with the majority in order to split the votes between Imani and Shannon. When neither of them used an idol, Shannon was eliminated. On Day 24, J'Tia was sent to the Island of Secrets but didn't win an advantage. Upon her return to camp, J'Tia's Ta'alo trio were under the impression that they and the Sa'ula castaways would be going after Anthony. However, they were kept out of the loop when the Laumei castaways, Imani and Micah had the numbers to blindside Sneha.

Feeling betrayed by Sa'ula and unconnected to Laumei, J'Tia's Ta'alo trio tried to garner votes against Harmony. When she, Doug and Heather played an idol at tribal however, a null vote occurred. Harmony used her sole vote advantage to eliminate Declan. Following this historic vote, J'Tia was worried because her alliance was isolated from the tribe. They tried going after Imani as the sole Manumalo member, but J'Tia knew her time was up. Prior to tribal council, she told Danni and Doug to vote with the numbers to save themselves. This meant that J'Tia was unanimously eliminated and made the fourth member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, she voted for Danni to win the title of Sole Survivor.
