Thanks for the understanding!

Jacob was one of the first members of the initial Ontong majority alliance, and formed a tight strategic bond over the course of the game with fellow tribemate Zoya. Jacob managed to avoid being target for most of the pre-merge phase of the game due to his strong challenge prowess and generally down-to-earth demeanor. He was initially on board with the plan to take out the tribe's perceived weak link, Adora Lang, when the Ontong tribe finally lost their first immunity challenge; however, he later followed through with ally Zoya's plan to eliminate Dustin instead. After the merge, Jacob continued his dominance in many of the challenges, and was perceived to be a large threat to win in the end. He was ultimately the last member of his original tribe's alliance to be eliminated, finishing in 5th place.
