James Miller is a contestant from Survivor: Palau.
A proud redneck, James is best remembered for his snarky remarks about his fellow Ulong tribemates, and his running gag of incorrectly predicting his tribe will later be successful. After Ulong lost immunity for the 5th time in a row, James was ultimately voted out after his ally Stephenie LaGrossa flipped on him in fears of what would happen in a tiebreaker.
