Jay Bruno is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Blood v Water.
Jay, after joining the vote against David Goodchild, would ironically wind up aligning with him alongside Amy Ong. His alliance with the latter would prove to be his downfall, as when Amy started targeting Sandra Diaz-Twine and was caught finding an idol by Michelle Chiang, he was eliminated via split vote soon after.

Alex and Jay met after Jay started dating Alex's sister. Now the pair will put their own relationship through a very unique test.
A super fan of the game, Alex wants to fly under the radar secretly making moves, while Jay is relaxed but also determined and competitive.
Jay says: "Our strategy is not to blend in but to go with the flow because you don't know what's going to happen, you don't know who's there and who you're in with."

Australian Survivor[]
Jay was initially placed on the Blood tribe, where his brother-in-law, Alex Frost, was assigned to Water. After Blood lost the third Immunity Challenge, Jay voted against David Goodchild. Despite this, he would align himself with David alongside Amy Ong. On Day 14, after Blood lost the Immunity Challenge, Michelle Chiang, Sam Gash and Sandra Diaz-Twine noticed that Jay, Amy, and David were a close trio. At first, Sandra wanted to target David, but after learning that Amy had a Hidden Immunity Idol from Michelle, Sandra's majority alliance decided to split the votes between Jay and Amy. At Tribal Council, Amy played her idol and negated the three votes casted against her. Regardless, Jay received four votes against him, thus blindsiding him from the game.
