Ajay Mannan

 is the Sole Survivor of Survivor: Raiatea.

Biography
When Ajay was 14, he grew skeptical of his family’s Islamic beliefs. He values knowledge and has a deep love of history. He graduated from Columbia with a degree in history, and became a history teacher to share his passion.

Game
Ajay was a powerhouse throughout the game, working socially and becoming a part of a coalition with Alondra and Lino. With the coalition, they dictated every vote they attended until they grew cocky and their allies Diane and George flipped on them to vote out Alondra. Afterwards, Ajay curried favor with Diane to ensure he wouldn't lose control again as Tumaraa eliminated the last Uturoas. Ajay stuck by his coalition member Lino to eliminate George, but betrayed him by throwing the final immunity challenge, knowing both Diane and Lino would take him to the end. Diane won, and proved Ajay correct as she sent Lino to the jury.

At Final Tribal Council, Ajay's relationships and gameplay garnered the respect of the jury and he was crowned the Sole Survivor in a wide margin.
