'''Jeremy Collins''' is the [[Sole Survivor]] of {{S|31}}. He originally competed on {{S|29}}, and later on {{S|40}}.
Jeremy was a major physical and strategic threat from the outset of ''San Juan del Sur''. He helped his tribe win five out of six pre-merge Immunity Challenges, and helped to orchestrate the entertaining blindside of [[Drew Christy]] at the only [[Tribal Council]] he attended during that time. He then struck first against his strategic rival [[Josh Canfield]] after the [[merge]], sending him to the [[jury]], only to be blindsided himself at the following Tribal Council due to the threat he posed.

Returning for ''Cambodia'', Jeremy developed a more aggressive but honest playing style. In a season characterized by paranoia and constantly shifting voting blocs, Jeremy was able to maintain steady control of the overall action of the game through his timely use of two [[Hidden Immunity Idol]]s, his low-key but enduring partnership with [[Spencer Bledsoe]], [[Stephen Fishbach]], and [[Tasha Fox]], and his perfect execution of a "meat shield" strategy in which he disguised the seemingly obvious threat he posed by aligning with physical threats such as [[Andrew Savage]] and [[Joe Anglim]]. His effective control of the game eventually allowed him to reach the [[Final Tribal Council]] with Spencer and Tasha, where he became the [[Sole Survivor]] in a unanimous vote.

Jeremy returned as one of twenty Sole Survivors competing in ''Winners at War''. Despite losing his ''San Juan del Sur'' ally [[Natalie Anderson]] early on, he managed to work his way into a comfortable position on the [[Sele]] tribe after the new-school players took control. Following the [[Tribe Switch]], Jeremy was initially at a numerical disadvantage, but soon found himself in the majority. His position worsened at the merge where his allies, with the exception of [[Michele Fitzgerald]], flipped and joined the majority alliance as Jeremy was seen as a threat to win the game. After using his Safety Without Power advantage to save himself, Jeremy was spared at two consecutive Tribal Councils due to last-minute scrambling, but was eventually voted out at the final seven. He failed to win the second re-entry [[duel]] on Day 35, finishing in 8th place.

Jeremy started the game on [[Day Zero]] with his wife, [[Val Collins|Val]]. The next day they were split: Jeremy was designated to [[Hunahpu]], and Val was assigned to [[Coyopa]]. When [[Jeff Probst|Jeff]] then announced there would be a [[Exile Island (twist)#Hero Duels|Hero Duel]], Jeremy eagerly volunteered for the opportunity, not knowing his opponent. When Jeff explained he would compete against his wife - the loser going to {{dab|Exile Island|twist}} - Jeremy was ready for the challenge. He got out to a fast start in the challenge and never let up, winning soundly and sending Val to Exile; he then chose [[Keith Nale|Keith]] from his own tribe to join her based on his profession.

Hunahpu was dysfunctional for much of the pre-[[merge]] but were buoyed by their challenge dominance. He did, however, visit Exile Island with [[John Rocker]] during the [[Method to This Madness|second episode]], as he was chosen by [[Julie McGee|Julie]]. There, John promised he would do what he could to protect Val back at Coyopa. However, Val bluffed too hard, claiming she had two idols. John's plan to save her revolved around her playing an idol - an idol she didn't have. Val was voted out on a revote at that [[Tribal Council]].

On [[Actions vs. Accusations|Day 7]], Jeremy saw his wife had been voted out and forced John to confess to his tribe that he had tried to save Val, leading to John's ouster the next day. Hunahpu then visited Tribal for the first time on [[We're a Hot Mess|Day 10]] after [[Drew Christy|Drew]] threw the [[Immunity Challenge]]. Jeremy voted with the women of his tribe, blindsiding Drew 5-2-1-1.

After the [[Tribe Switch|tribe swap]], Jeremy remained on Hunahpu with his allies [[Natalie Anderson|Natalie]] and Julie, but they were outnumbered by the alliance of [[Josh Canfield|Josh]], [[Reed Kelly|Reed]], [[Alec Christy|Alec]], and [[Wes Nale|Wes]]. Luckily, they didn't lose any Immunity Challenges after the swap. They did, however, have to trade most of their belongings for a new supply of rice, as they had overeaten and were entirely out of food.

Luckily, they didn't lose any Immunity Challenges after the switch. They did, however, have to trade most of their belongings for a new supply of rice, as they had overeaten and were entirely out of food.
   
After the merge, two factions arose: Jeremy's alliance, including Julie, Natalie, [[Baylor Wilson|Baylor]], and [[Missy Payne|Missy]]; and Josh's, including Reed, Alec, Wes, and Keith. This left [[Jaclyn Schultz|Jaclyn]] and [[Jon Misch|Jon]] as the swing votes. On [[Million Dollar Decision|Day 18]], it seemed as if Josh had successfully roped in Jon and Jaclyn, and they were targeting Jeremy. However, he was spared by the fact that his ally, Julie, [[quit]].

In the next episode, Jeremy won his only individual Immunity Challenge, narrowly defeating Josh. Some chauvinistic comments and actions by a member of Josh's alliance - namely, Alec - offended Jaclyn, causing her and Jon to flip over to Jeremy's alliance. They successfully voted Josh out on [[Wrinkle in the Plan|Day 21]], 6-5.

The next day, Jeremy won the [[Reward Challenge]], but along with Natalie opted to give their respective rewards to Jon and Jaclyn as repayment for their votes the night before. Jon returned the favor by sending Jeremy to his second stint on Exile Island. There, he realized that Jon, the previous inhabitant, had found the [[Hidden Immunity Idol]].

Baylor won immunity on [[Gettin' to Crunch Time|Day 24]], and Reed, sensing he was in trouble, scrambled to shake up the vote. He found Keith's Hidden Immunity Idol clue in his bag and brought it to the attention of some of his tribemates. However, what ultimately changed the tribe dynamic was Jeremy's confronting Jon about his possession of an idol, which Jon denied. Jon then rallied together Jaclyn, Baylor, Missy, and Reed to vote Jeremy out. They did so successfully, eliminating the Foxborough firefighter, 5-3-2, to become the second member of the jury.

At [[Final Tribal Council]], Jeremy made a speech advocating for Natalie, praising her as the best player of the season. Jeremy voted for his former ally Natalie to win, which she did, 5-2-1.

Jeremy was a part of the [[Bayon]] tribe. After hitting the beach, he immediately formed alliances with [[Andrew Savage]], [[Keith Nale]], [[Joe Anglim]], and [[Tasha Fox]]. His intention is to surround himself with shields in the form of more vocal players such as Savage and physical threats such as Joe. On [[Survivor MacGyver|Day 5]], Andrew told the tribe a heartfelt story about how he met his wife and this made everybody cry. After the story, Jeremy left the shelter so that he could be alone. He then stated in a [[confessional]] that his wife was pregnant with their third child, so he was playing for them. Bayon won nearly all the [[Immunity Challenge]]s even after two [[Tribe Switch|tribe swaps]]. Even though there were two tribe swaps, Jeremy always remained on Bayon.

Jeremy always remained on Bayon even after two [[Tribe Switch|tribe switches]], and they won nearly all the [[Immunity Challenge]]s.
   
After the first tribe switch, he formed a bond with original [[Ta Keo]] member [[Spencer Bledsoe]]. On [[We Got a Rat|Day 9]], he found a clue to the [[Hidden Immunity Idol]] and found the idol during the Immunity Challenge. After Bayon lost their first, and only, Immunity Challenge, Jeremy and his allies [[Stephen Fishbach]] and [[Monica Padilla]] agreed to vote out original Ta Keo [[Kelly Wiglesworth]]. However, [[Kimmi Kappenberg]] told him that Monica tried to start an all-girls alliance, which infuriated him. As a result, at [[Tribal Council]], Jeremy, along with Kimmi and Stephen, voted together to blindside Monica.

As a result, at [[Tribal Council]], Jeremy, along with Kimmi and Stephen, voted together to blindside Monica.
   
The tribes officially merged with 13 players remaining. His alliance was the majority alliance over [[Kass McQuillen]] and [[Ciera Eastin]]'s minority alliance. Despite being in the majority alliance with most of the original Bayons, plus Spencer and Kelly, the multitude of intertwining relationships as a result of the tribe swaps resulted in everybody creating temporary voting blocs to take out common threats. Jeremy was able to find his second Hidden Immunity Idol and played it on Stephen during the final ten Tribal Council, thus sparing Stephen from elimination and blindsiding Ciera. However, Stephen was voted out at the next Tribal Council. With 8 players remaining, they got to meet their [[Loved Ones Challenge|loved ones]]. Jeremy met his wife [[Val Collins]] (whom he competed with as her loved one previously in {{S2|29}}), and she told him that they were going to have a boy. However, Jeremy stated in a confessional that he was not going to tell anyone, believing that it could jeopardize his game.

The tribes officially [[merge]]d with 13 players remaining. Jeremy's alliance was the majority alliance over [[Kass McQuillen]] and [[Ciera Eastin]]'s minority alliance. Despite being in the majority alliance with most of the original Bayons, plus Spencer and Kelly, the multitude of intertwining relationships as a result of the tribe switches resulted in everybody creating temporary voting blocs to take out common threats. Jeremy was able to find his second Hidden Immunity Idol and played it on Stephen during the final ten Tribal Council, thus sparing Stephen from elimination and blindsiding Ciera. However, Stephen was voted out at the next Tribal Council. With eight players remaining, they got to meet their [[Family Visit|loved ones]]. Jeremy met his wife [[Val Collins]] (whom he competed with as her loved one previously in {{S2|29}}), and she told him that they were going to have a boy. However, Jeremy stated in a confessional that he was not going to tell anyone, believing that it could jeopardize his game.
   
With six players remaining, Jeremy was in the majority alliance that consisted of himself, Spencer, Tasha, and Kimmi. However, Kimmi jumped ship to Keith and [[Kelley Wentworth]]'s side. Spencer and Tasha warned him about Kimmi possibly flipping, but Jeremy did not believe them. At Tribal Council, both Jeremy and Kelley played their idols, each negating the three votes against them. This was the first time in ''{{dab|Survivor|U.S.}}'' history that no votes did count for anybody at Tribal Council. Jeremy, angry that Kimmi voted against him, decided to vote against her at the revote. He skipped to the voting booth and happily voted against her, which angered the jury. However, both Tasha and Kimmi were tied with three votes each. Then Jeff asked them if anyone was willing to change their votes and all of them said no. Afterwards, Jeff gave Jeremy, Spencer, Kelley, and [[Keith Nale]] two minutes to decide whether they were going to send either Kimmi or Tasha home. Otherwise, both would become immune, and Keith would be eliminated by default. Jeremy and Spencer still wanted to eliminate Kimmi. Consequently, both Kelley and Keith then decided to eliminate Kimmi, sending her to the jury so that Keith wouldn't get voted out.

After the Tribal Council, Kelley won the final five Immunity Challenge. Back at camp, Jeremy whispered to Keith to vote out Spencer. At Tribal Council, Keith did not put out the fake idol Kelley gave him, and Jeremy stayed loyal to Spencer and voted against Keith, sending him to the jury. Later, Jeremy won the [[Final Immunity Challenge]]. Despite having an alliance with Spencer and Tasha, he very briefly considered taking Kelley to the end. However, Jeremy decided almost right away that he was going to vote out Kelley. At Tribal Council, Jeremy pretended that his vote was up in the air. In response, Spencer threatened to vote for Kelley to win and sway the jury to vote for her as well, if Jeremy were to vote him out. As planned, he honored his alliance with Spencer and voted out Kelley, making her the final member of the [[jury]].

At the [[Final Tribal Council]], Jeremy was praised by Stephen for his loyalty and playing with honor and integrity. However, Andrew criticized him for skipping and being arrogant during Kimmi's elimination, and Kimmi chastised him for replacing her with Spencer in their alliance. When Kelley asked the finalists what their second chance was about, Jeremy said that he was doing it for his family, including his unborn son, and that he struggled with keeping his wife's pregnancy a secret for the entire game. Ultimately, the ten jurors voted for Jeremy, making him the [[Sole Survivor]] of ''Survivor: Cambodia'', and the fourth person to win by a unanimous jury vote.

===Winners at War===
 
===Winners at War===
Starting on the [[Sele|Sele ]]tribe, Jeremy was left out of the loop at his first tribal council, when [[Natalie Anderson|Natalie]] was blindsided. Despite losing Natalie, he received her [[Fire Token]] and became close with[[Michele Fitzgerald| Michele]], with the two orchestrating the eliminations of [[Danni Boatwright|Danni ]]and [[Ethan Zohn|Ethan]] . He even received the safety with power advantage from Natalie (via [[Edge of Extinction (twist)|Extinction Island]] ), that allowed him to leave a tribal council before the vote, which he purchased by giving his token.
 
 
Following the [[Tribe Switch|Swap]], Jeremy and Sele [[Denise Stapley|Denise]] found themselves outnumbered 3-2 by the original Dakal's on the[[Dakal| Dakal ]]tribe. However, [[Kim Spradlin|Kim's]] mistrust with her fellow Dakal's gave him hope. When Dakal went to tribal council on day 16, Jeremy joined original Dakal's Kim, [[Tony Vlachos|Tony]] and [[Sandra Diaz-Twine|Sandra]] in voting for Denise, but was shocked when Denise played Sandra's idol (Sandra gave to her) on herself and her idol on him, resulting in Sandra's elimination. 
 
 
After reaching the [[Merge|merge]], Jeremy became apart of Tony's coalition of big threats and won the first immunity challenge. His coalition controlled the first two votes, though Jeremy would have to aid his group in voting out his friend [[Wendell Holland|Wendell]]. When the coalition splintered, Jeremy was targeted by Tony's new alliance for being a threat. He unknowingly saved himself at the final 10 by using his safety without power (last time to use it), but this caused his alliance to fall to the minority. Jeremy would continue to be targeted over the next few votes, but was spared at the final 9 and final 8, as Tony managed to keep him and turn the vote on bigger threats. Going into the Final 7 tribal council, Michele gave him her Coin flip advantage to use, but he did not use it.
 
 
He gave back the coin to Michele after tribal council. On day 31, Jeremy and Michele compared notes and realized that[[Ben Driebergen| Ben]], whom Jeremy had been butting heads with for the past few days, was trying to create distrust between the two, and discussed targeting him. He approached Tony and [[Nick Wilson|Nick ]]with this idea. Tony however, wanting Ben around and realizing that Jeremy needed to go, began targeting him. At tribal council, Nick sided with Tony's alliance, who [[Split Vote|split their votes ]]between Jeremy and Michele, resulting in Jeremy's elimination. Before leaving tribal council, Tony apologized for voting for him, to which Jeremy replied "bad move". Jeremy spent the next three full days on Extinction Island. Jeremy failed to win the final re-entry duel on day 35, which resulted in his permanent elimination.
 
 
At the [[Final Tribal Council]], Jeremy questioned Tony on why he betrayed him, and appeared visibly upset with him. He voted for Natalie, possibly due to their friendship and his anger with Tony, though she would lose to Tony in a 12-4-0 vote, making the latter the second ever two time winner in Survivor.

Latest revision as of 15:08, 1 February 2024

Jeremy Collins is the Sole Survivor of Survivor: Cambodia. He originally competed on Survivor: San Juan del Sur, and later on Survivor: Winners at War.

Jeremy was a major physical and strategic threat from the outset of San Juan del Sur. He helped his tribe win five out of six pre-merge Immunity Challenges, and helped to orchestrate the blindside of Drew Christy at the only Tribal Council he attended during that time. He then struck first against his strategic rival Josh Canfield after the merge, sending him to the jury, only to be blindsided himself at the following Tribal Council due to the threat he posed.

Returning for Cambodia, Jeremy developed a more aggressive but honest playing style. In a season characterized by paranoia and constantly shifting voting blocs, Jeremy was able to maintain steady control of the overall action of the game through his timely use of two Hidden Immunity Idols, his low-key but enduring partnership with Spencer Bledsoe, Stephen Fishbach, and Tasha Fox, and his perfect execution of a "meat shield" strategy in which he disguised the seemingly obvious threat he posed by aligning with physical threats such as Andrew Savage and Joe Anglim. His effective control of the game eventually allowed him to reach the Final Tribal Council with Spencer and Tasha, where he became the Sole Survivor in a unanimous vote.

Jeremy returned as one of twenty Sole Survivors competing in Winners at War. Despite losing his San Juan del Sur ally Natalie Anderson early on, he managed to work his way into a comfortable position on the Sele tribe after the new-school players took control. Following the tribe switch, Jeremy was initially at a numerical disadvantage, but soon found himself in the majority. His position worsened at the merge where his allies, with the exception of Michele Fitzgerald, flipped and joined the majority alliance as Jeremy was seen as a threat to win the game. After using his Safety Without Power advantage to save himself, Jeremy was spared at two consecutive Tribal Councils due to last-minute scrambling, but was eventually voted out at the final seven. He failed to win the second return challenge on Day 35, finishing in 8th place.

What Does It Mean to You to Play Survivor with Your Loved One? Playing with my loved one would be stressful and emotional. I know it is going to be tough out there and I will worry about my wife being hungry, cold and tired.[1]

Name: Jeremy Collins
Season 29
Survivor: San Juan del Sur
Current Age: 37

Hometown: Foxboro, MA[2]

Hometown: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Current residence: Foxboro, Massachusetts
Previous seasons: Survivor: San Juan del Sur (Season 29); Winner of Survivor: Second Chance (Season 31)
Occupation: Firefighter
Hobbies: Coaching my kids, working out, playing basketball, and fantasy football.
Pet peeves: Road rage, inconsiderate/selfish people, and people who talk to me when watching movies.
Three words to describe you: Easy going, loving, and emotional.
When did you first watch Survivor? Season 1, Episode 1.
Do you still watch Survivor? Every episode. I am a casual watcher now, it used to consume me and I would take notes on every episode.
Who is your inspiration in life? My family. I want my kids to grow up looking up to me and being proud to call me dad.
What does Survivor mean to you and your family? It is the only show on television that is suitable and entertaining for everyone in the family. Survivor night is a chance for the family to slow down a hectic schedule and just hang out for one night.
What is one way playing Survivor changed your life? Emotionally—it brought me closer to my wife and kids. When you miss the ones you love, you appreciate them more. Financially—it helped me put away for my children's future.
As Survivor approaches Season 40 and celebrates 20 years on television, what does it mean to be a part of the legacy? I'm in awe that I am considered for such a monumental season. After Season 31, I pulled away from being a super fan and just enjoyed the show as a casual viewer but the thought of going out there for the GREATEST SEASON EVER gives me chills and I want to cement my name as one of the greats.

How will you play differently than you have in your past seasons? Let's just throw out my Season 29 performance... that never happened. I will look to add to my Season 31 game plan. I will keep my meat shields but I will add mind shields and social shields to give me a broader pool of players to align myself with. With this broader pool, I will continue with voting blocs and keep alliance paranoia on 100! I want to take it all in. I feel my last experience was a whirlwind and I forget a lot of experiences. This time I want to try and take some time to enjoy this last go-round.[3]

Survivor

San Juan del Sur

Jeremy started the game on Day Zero with his wife, Val Collins. The next day they were split: Jeremy was designated to Hunahpu, and Val was assigned to Coyopa. When Jeff Probst then announced there would be a Hero Duel, Jeremy eagerly volunteered for the opportunity, not knowing his opponent. When Jeff explained he would compete against his wife - the loser going to Exile Island - Jeremy was ready for the challenge. He got out to a fast start in the challenge and never let up, winning soundly and sending Val to Exile; he then chose Keith Nale from his own tribe to join her based on his profession.

Hunahpu was dysfunctional for much of the pre-merge but were buoyed by their challenge dominance. He did, however, visit Exile Island with John Rocker during the second episode, as he was chosen by Julie McGee. There, John promised he would do what he could to protect Val back at Coyopa. However, Val bluffed too hard, claiming she had two idols. John's plan to save her revolved around her playing an idol - an idol she didn't have. Val was voted out on a revote at that Tribal Council.

On Day 7, Jeremy saw his wife had been voted out and forced John to confess to his tribe that he had tried to save Val, leading to John's ouster the next day. Hunahpu then visited Tribal Council for the first time on Day 10 after Drew Christy threw the Immunity Challenge. Jeremy voted with the women of his tribe, blindsiding Drew 5-2-1-1.

After the tribe switch, Jeremy remained on Hunahpu with his allies Natalie Anderson and Julie, but they were outnumbered by the alliance of Josh Canfield, Reed Kelly, Alec Christy, and Wes Nale. Luckily, they didn't lose any Immunity Challenges after the switch. They did, however, have to trade most of their belongings for a new supply of rice, as they had overeaten and were entirely out of food.

After the merge, two factions arose: Jeremy's alliance, including Julie, Natalie, Baylor Wilson, and Missy Payne; and Josh's, including Reed, Alec, Wes, and Keith. This left Jaclyn Schultz and Jon Misch as the swing votes. On Day 18, it seemed as if Josh had successfully roped in Jon and Jaclyn, and they were targeting Jeremy. However, he was spared by the fact that his ally, Julie, quit.

In the next episode, Jeremy won his only individual Immunity Challenge, narrowly defeating Josh. Some chauvinistic comments and actions by a member of Josh's alliance - namely, Alec - offended Jaclyn, causing her and Jon to flip over to Jeremy's alliance. They successfully voted Josh out on Day 21, 6-5.

The next day, Jeremy won the Reward Challenge, but along with Natalie opted to give their respective rewards to Jon and Jaclyn as repayment for their votes the night before. Jon returned the favor by sending Jeremy to his second stint on Exile Island. There, he realized that Jon, the previous inhabitant, had found the Hidden Immunity Idol.

Baylor won immunity on Day 24, and Reed, sensing he was in trouble, scrambled to shake up the vote. He found Keith's Hidden Immunity Idol clue in his bag and brought it to the attention of some of his tribemates. However, what ultimately changed the tribe dynamic was Jeremy's confronting Jon about his possession of an idol, which Jon denied. Jon then rallied together Jaclyn, Baylor, Missy, and Reed to vote Jeremy out. They did so successfully, eliminating the Foxboro firefighter, 5-3-2, to become the second member of the jury.

At Final Tribal Council, Jeremy made a speech advocating for Natalie, praising her as the best player of the season. Jeremy voted for his former ally Natalie to win, which she did, 5-2-1.

Cambodia

Jeremy was chosen by public vote from thirty-two candidates to compete on the "Second Chance" season, Survivor: Cambodia.

Jeremy was a part of the Bayon tribe. After hitting the beach, he immediately formed alliances with Andrew Savage, Keith Nale, Joe Anglim, and Tasha Fox. His intention was to surround himself with shields in the form of more vocal players such as Andrew and physical threats such as Joe. On Day 5, Andrew told the tribe a heartfelt story about how he met his wife and this made everybody cry. After the story, Jeremy left the shelter so that he could be alone. He then stated in a confessional that his wife was pregnant with their third child, so he was playing for them. Jeremy always remained on Bayon even after two tribe switches, and they won nearly all the Immunity Challenges.

After the first tribe switch, he formed a bond with original Ta Keo member Spencer Bledsoe. On Day 9, he found a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol and found the idol during the Immunity Challenge. After Bayon lost their first, and only, Immunity Challenge, Jeremy and his allies Stephen Fishbach and Monica Padilla agreed to vote out original Ta Keo Kelly Wiglesworth. However, Kimmi Kappenberg told him that Monica tried to start an all-girls alliance, which infuriated him. As a result, at Tribal Council, Jeremy, along with Kimmi and Stephen, voted together to blindside Monica.

The tribes officially merged with 13 players remaining. Jeremy's alliance was the majority alliance over Kass McQuillen and Ciera Eastin's minority alliance. Despite being in the majority alliance with most of the original Bayons, plus Spencer and Kelly, the multitude of intertwining relationships as a result of the tribe switches resulted in everybody creating temporary voting blocs to take out common threats. Jeremy was able to find his second Hidden Immunity Idol and played it on Stephen during the final ten Tribal Council, thus sparing Stephen from elimination and blindsiding Ciera. However, Stephen was voted out at the next Tribal Council. With eight players remaining, they got to meet their loved ones. Jeremy met his wife Val Collins (whom he competed with as her loved one previously in San Juan del Sur), and she told him that they were going to have a boy. However, Jeremy stated in a confessional that he was not going to tell anyone, believing that it could jeopardize his game.

With six players remaining, Jeremy was in the majority alliance that consisted of himself, Spencer, Tasha, and Kimmi. However, Kimmi jumped ship to Keith and Kelley Wentworth's side. Spencer and Tasha warned him about Kimmi possibly flipping, but Jeremy did not believe them. At Tribal Council, both Jeremy and Kelley played their idols, each negating the three votes against them. This was the first time in Survivor history that no votes did count for anybody at Tribal Council. Jeremy, angry that Kimmi voted against him, decided to vote against her at the revote. He skipped to the voting booth and happily voted against her, which angered the jury. However, both Tasha and Kimmi were tied with three votes each. Then Jeff asked them if anyone was willing to change their votes and all of them said no. Afterwards, Jeff gave Jeremy, Spencer, Kelley, and Keith Nale two minutes to decide whether they were going to send either Kimmi or Tasha home. Otherwise, both would become immune, and Keith would be eliminated by default. Jeremy and Spencer still wanted to eliminate Kimmi. Consequently, both Kelley and Keith then decided to eliminate Kimmi, sending her to the jury so that Keith wouldn't get voted out.

After the Tribal Council, Kelley won the final five Immunity Challenge. Back at camp, Jeremy whispered to Keith to vote out Spencer. At Tribal Council, Keith did not put out the fake idol Kelley gave him, and Jeremy stayed loyal to Spencer and voted against Keith, sending him to the jury. Later, Jeremy won the Final Immunity Challenge. Despite having an alliance with Spencer and Tasha, he very briefly considered taking Kelley to the end. However, Jeremy decided almost right away that he was going to vote out Kelley. At Tribal Council, Jeremy pretended that his vote was up in the air. In response, Spencer threatened to vote for Kelley to win and sway the jury to vote for her as well, if Jeremy were to vote him out. As planned, he honored his alliance with Spencer and voted out Kelley, making her the final member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Jeremy was praised by Stephen for his loyalty and playing with honor and integrity. However, Andrew criticized him for skipping and being arrogant during Kimmi's elimination, and Kimmi chastised him for replacing her with Spencer in their alliance. When Kelley asked the finalists what their second chance was about, Jeremy said that he was doing it for his family, including his unborn son, and that he struggled with keeping his wife's pregnancy a secret for the entire game. Ultimately, the ten jurors voted for Jeremy, making him the Sole Survivor of Survivor: Cambodia, and the fourth person to win by a unanimous jury vote.

Sole Survivor, Day 39

^1 In "You Call, We'll Haul", Kelley used a Hidden Immunity Idol, negating Jeremy's vote against her.
^2 In "Lie, Cheat and Steal", Jeremy used a Hidden Immunity Idol, negating 3 votes against him. Also, Kelley used a Hidden Immunity Idol, negating Jeremy's vote against her. Because Jeremy and Kelley both used Hidden Immunity Idols and negated all the votes cast at Tribal Council, a vote restart was held between all the non-immune players. This vote ended with a 3-3 tie between Kimmi and Tasha, forcing a consensus tiebreaker. Jeremy did not change his vote on the tiebreaker.
