Jak Thomas is a contestant from Survivor New Zealand: Nicaragua.

Jak started on the Hermosa tribe and was in the majority all the way to the merge, even after the tribe swap, where he was sent to the new Mogotón tribe and was able to form a strong friendship with Tom Paterson. After the merge, Jak was left in the minority with Tom after Mike Sparrow and Lee Den Haan were blindsided, but Jak was given a lifeline by Barb Raos when blindsiding Sala Tiatia proved to be the more appealing option. This short-lived agreement came to end at the next Tribal Council, as Jak was unanimously voted out. He lasted 10 days on Redemption Island, defeating the likes of Shannon Quinn and Shay Tapusoa. Although he came close to his goal of returning to the game, he ultimately lost the final Redemption Island duel to Mike and Nate Davis, ending his run and finishing 6th overall.
