James was part of the majority that voted out Gonzalez when Malolo lost the first immunity challenge and had to go to Tribal Council. Malolo continued to struggle and James was largely to blame for Malolo losing the second immunity challenge due to struggling in the water. He took ownership of his part in the loss, but joined in the others in targeting Jacob to go. At tribal, Jacob was voted out, but James received two votes from Michael and Libby just in case Jacob played an Idol.
On Day 7, James was swapped to the Naviti tribe along with Donathan, Laurel, and Libby. They were shortly approached by Chris about taking Domenick out of the game, whom James himself didn鈥檛 trust and compared to Russell Hantz. James came up with a plan to take out Morgan to weaken Domenick, who wanted Angela out. His plan worked and Morgan was blindsided. Naviti continued to win until the second swap occurred.
James was swapped back to the Malolo tribe where he reunited with Michael. Unfortunately, they were outnumbered 2-3 by the original Navitis. They swore loyalty to one another. Malolo lost immunity on day 17 partly due to Desiree. James and Michael tried to use this to get her out instead, approaching Angela to make a move. The plan didn鈥檛 work, as Angela and Michael joined Kellyn and Desiree in voting him out, making him the sixth person to be voted out on day 17 in a 4-1 vote.
James has the highest IQ of any Survivor castaway up to that point. He was a U.S. Presidential Scholar selected by President Obama鈥檚 commission and he interned at the White House. He was also the first Asian track captain in Harvard University history. Jeff Probst told James to listen to Tony Robbins recordings before he came onto the show to make him less robotic. Since the show, he has participated in the All Star Reality Show circuit where he joins other Survivor and reality alums like Michele Fitzgerald, Tyson Apostol, Jeremy Collins, and others. He wants to come back to Survivor and has pitched Ghost Island 2: 10 Newbies vs. Malolo.
