Jim Rice
South Pacific's Savaii architect, who built the alliance, broke it on purpose, and then watched Cochran break it for real.
Known for
Jim hid his real job, founded the Savaii Alliance with Ozzy Lusth, Keith, Elyse Umemoto and Whitney, and ran several side deals within it. He pushed out Semhar early, and he didn't trust Ozzy's motives from the start. When Elyse drew close to the returning star, Jim recruited the outsiders, Dawn and Cochran, and blindsided her, which briefly sent Ozzy into free-agent mode.
The merge undid him. Savaii counted on Cochran as a double agent, and instead he flipped to Upolu, costing them Keith. Jim called him a coward to his face, then won individual immunity and floated handing the necklace to Ozzy with a rallying speech, but Upolu's threats kept it on his neck and no one crossed. He lost immunity next time, a late pitch to Albert and Sophie fell flat, and he was the first to fall in a three-way Redemption Island duel. On the jury he voted for Sophie.
