Trivia

 * According to fellow One World castaway Colton Cumbie's exit interview with Reality TV Magazine, Jay was intended to be the original recipient of Colton's Hidden Immunity Idol during his medical evacuation. After realizing the possibility that giving Jay the idol could possibly hurt Jay's game in the process, Colton opted to keep it for himself.
