Seamus Lind Holmes is a contestant from Survivor South Africa: Philippines and Survivor South Africa: Return of the Outcasts.

In Philippines, Seamus did not hesitate to start playing the strategic game, immediately putting together a seven-person majority against Tom Swartz after his tribe lost the first Immunity Challenge. However, Seamus' supposed allies Chané Mynhardt and Annalize Sainsbury worried about him gaining momentum, and mounted a successful counterplan to blindside him at the season's first Tribal Council.

Seamus' second chance in Return of the Outcasts started strong as he found himself in the majority alliance on the Yontau tribe. However, after Dino Paulo flipped on the alliance and blindsided Tevin Naidu, Seamus made a scorched-earth attempt to exact revenge on Dino. Unfortunately, the Yontaus were unswayed by Seamus' schemes and backed his rival in voting him out instead.

SEAMUS (25) Property broker from Durban

Seamus is a super fan of the Survivor franchise who is not out to make any friends on the island. He confesses that he is coming into the game to play hard, cause chaos and initiate as many blindsides as possible. An unapologetic villain and strategist, Seamus admits that his weak spot could be correctly identifying the other strategists in the game. Physically fit and visibly strong, he could also pose a physical threat to other Alpha males on his tribe. Fans will immediately recognise Seamus by his signature blue straw hat.[1]

Name: Seamus Lind Holmes
Season: Survivor South Africa: Philippines S6
Age: 29
Hometown: Durban

Seamus Lind Holmes is a Durbanite who works as the regional sales manager of a commercial trucking equipment company. He channels his competitive nature into excelling at endurance sports.

He is a massive Survivor fan – he has researched the game, strategies, heroes, villains, and the game's evolution over the years. He watches Survivor religiously with his mother and sees this as a big bonding experience for them.

Understanding that he played too hard, and too fast in the Philippines, meant he didn't pay enough attention to his tribemates and how they were approaching the game. Holmes feels he has matured tremendously since his season and is in a far better mental space than before. With a second shot, he is determined to play the biggest game Survivor has ever seen.[2]
