Jemila "Jem" Hussain-Adams is a contestant from Survivor 46.
Jem started the game in what she believed to be a powerful women's alliance on the Siga tribe. After finding her tribe's Beware Advantage, she decided to hide the box and send her tribe on a wild goose chase for a non-existent Hidden Immunity Idol, prompting the Siga men to become suspicious of her. Ultimately, swing votes Charlie Davis and Maria Shrime Gonzalez defected against her and she was blindsided shortly after finding her idol.

Name three of your favorite hobbies: Binge TV, working out, driving
List three adjectives that best describe yourself: Motivated, Resilient, Hilarious
How would your friends describe you? They would say I'm outgoing, direct, and a fun time
What risks have you taken in your life to make a change for the better, even if the outcome wasn't planned? I'm a risk taker – let's just say, if it's not risky, I'm not interested. For one, I moved to the US with a suitcase full of clothes and no money. I've bungee jumped, climbed coconut trees, camped in a freezing desert, and traveled alone. All of the above is just a tip of the iceberg!
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I'm super proud of a lot of things – surviving in the US is probably my biggest accomplishment. After I moved here, I had no one to lean on, and I wanted to give up multiple times and go back home to Guyana. However, I stuck it out.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? That I'm from South America and not Indian ;)
What past Survivor would you play the game most like? Boston Rob, Tony Vlachos, Kelley Wentworth[1]
Survivor[]
Starting the game on the Siga tribe, Jem immediately formed a bond with tribemates Maria Shrime Gonzalez and Moriah Gaynor. To secure a majority, the three women soon pulled in Charlie Davis and formed the "Charlie's Angels" alliance. Unbeknownst to Jem, Maria and Charlie secretly created a separate alliance with Ben Katzman and Tim Spicer as well. These loyalties went untested however, as Siga embarked on an extensive winning streak in Immunity Challenges.
Early in the game, Jem managed to find the Beware Advantage, which directed her to dig for a locked box containing a Hidden Immunity Idol, but informed her that the location of the key to the box would only be revealed after Siga lost an Immunity Challenge. Taking advantage of Siga's period of calm, Jem decided to move the box and replant the Beware Advantage. She then encouraged her tribe to go on an idol hunt, which ended with Maria finding the replanted advantage. After Maria read the instructions to the tribe, the group began futilely digging under the tree where the advantage was found. The absence of any box led Tim to consider that someone might have moved the box, and he fixated his suspicions on Jem.
Ultimately, after Siga lost their first Immunity Challenge on Day 11, Jem was able to retrieve the key and the idol before Tribal Council. Heading into the vote, Jem was targeted by Tim, but seemingly solidified a plan with the Charlie's Angels to split the votes between him and Ben, under the false pretense that he might have an idol. In the end though, her plan fell through after Charlie and Maria decided to side with Tim to blindside Jem, causing her to leave with the idol in her possession by a 4-2 vote.
