James Clement

James Clement IV was a returning contestant, originally from Survivor: China. He is mostly known for being blindsided with two unused Hidden Immunity Idols. His popularity earned him as spot in Survivor: Micronesia, where he was medically evacuated due to an infected wound on his finger. Clement would then earn a spot in Survivor: Heroes vs Villains, where he finished 14th.

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains
Due to his kind nature and "gentle giant" persona, James was assigned to the Heroes Tribe. This season James over time became frustrated and angry at his tribe mates for their lack of team work when it came to competing against the Villains and during the Tribal Council when Stephenie LaGrossa was eliminated, this sudden change of attitude was not well received.

At an Immunity Challenge, James once again injured himself and was treated by the Medical Team. With the tribe unaware of whether or not he'd return, several people contemplated his return to the game and whether or not it would benefit them. James returned later on that day with his leg in a cast, although mobile, he was weakened and could not commit to his usual work ethic.

Losing consecutive Immunity Challenges, James knew he was on the block but attempted to show he was still a valuable asset. Ultimately, it came down to "etiquette" as he was voted out on Day 15.

Post-Survivor

 * Is a big fan of The Young and the Restless. Made a cameo as a cop in an episode.  After watching the series for more than two decades (and even scheduling his college classes around the show), James says he's an even bigger fan after his cameo. "Just the fact that I was there makes me relate to it and love the show more," he says. "I had a great time. I can take that off my bucket list now."
