Jeremy Collins
The firefighter who hid behind bigger targets and walked out with every vote.
Sole Survivor
- Won Survivor 31: Cambodia (2015) after 39 days.
Known for
Jeremy's San Juan del Sur opened with him beating his wife Val in a duel and sending her to Exile Island. His Hunahpu tribe won almost every pre-merge challenge, and he helped blindside Drew Christy at their lone Tribal. After the merge he struck first, taking out rival Josh Canfield, but confronting Jon Misch about a hidden idol backfired and Jon rallied the vote against him. On the jury he made the case for Natalie Anderson, who won.
Cambodia was his masterpiece. He built a wall of meat shields, surrounding himself with louder and stronger players like Andrew Savage and Joe Anglim, while quietly running a bloc with Tasha Fox, Spencer Bledsoe and Stephen Fishbach. Two well-timed idols, including one that saved Stephen and sent Ciera Eastin home, kept him steering a paranoid game to the end, and the jury went unanimous for him.
In Winners at War he lost Natalie early, worked his way into the majority, and burned his Safety Without Power to escape one vote. He fell soon after and lost the last Edge of Extinction duel.
