ACE: (28) Graphic Designer from Johannesburg
Ace – a graphic designer from Johannesburg – might be familiar to some fans as M-Net's "Wild Card" winner after outlasting seven other wannabe Survivor castaways through gruelling challenges over the course of three days to cinch himself a spot on the series. And all of this was done while strapped to a billboard in Johannesburg! Ace might come across as an underdog but as we know in the game of Survivor, looks could be deceiving. Ace believes that his strengths include his versatility to roll with the punches and his people skills, while his weaknesses include finding it difficult to say no to people.[1]
Survivor South Africa[]
Starting the game on the Luzon tribe, Ace planned on succeeding through strategic play. His skills were immediately tested after he became a target at the first Tribal Council due to his role in losing the challenge. Seamus Holmes however planned to use Ace to take out Tom Swartz, who was perceived as the biggest threat due to his leadership. Tom caught wind of this and his alliance target Seamus, putting Ace in the swing vote position. Ace voted with Tom, sending Seamus home and solidifying "The Big Five" as the majority alliance. Despite frustration by Ace's betrayal, Josie Eveleigh, Palesa Tau, and Vusi Mafulela attempted to flip Ace back to force a tie. Despite Tom and Neil Voller's efforts to keep Ace comfortable, Ace felt he was at the bottom of this alliance. At Tribal Council, Ace forced a deadlock tie, and the ensuing rock-draw tiebreaker ended with Neil's shock elimination and the power shifting to Palesa's alliance.
On Day 9, Ace and Josie were switched to the new Luzon tribe, where they found themselves in the minority with former Mindanao members Jeanne Michel, Toni Tebbutt, Werner Joubert. Ace focused all of his efforts on finding the idol, including digging a hole in the middle of the camp which annoyed the other tribe members. Ace's efforts were in vain as he could not find the idol and was voted out 3-2.
