tom (JAM/JAKE)

Tom more or less retains most of his traits from his beta self, albeit less unorganized. Tom is acknowledged as a physically strong man, and is capable of asserting himself as a leader. Tom remains a very secretive individual for most of the game, but this didn’t stop him from being encouraging of others and from managing to form strong connections.

Throughout the game he's shown to be kind to others, showing much empathy to those around him, especially Jake, who's had a few hardships during the first season. He completes the challenges fair and square, opting to punish those who cheat, showing his sense of justice. His physical build and espionage experience do help him on most occasions, although he has fallen for other contestants' traps more than once, causing him much frustration. He's not above making alliances and even, when he feels there is no other way out, betrays some of them for the sake of his mission.

Due to his primary occupation, he's seen as a mysterious individual and causes him to lie to others on occasions regarding personal information. However, over the course of the season, he loses his job, causing him to rethink his career course, as he resigns from being a spy whatsoever, finding joy in no longer having to lie to his friends about it and after the first season, he finds a fulfilling job as a policeman.

Due to his compassion and lack of social interactions and connections being a spy, Tom found it hard to open up to people, especially about his problems. That attitude changed after meeting and developing a relationship with Jake, finally bonding with someone.

Tom is someone who believes actions speak louder than words and more often than not tries to prove his worth by helping the campers in challenges or assuming the role of a leader to show that he cares about them. This is show in his interactions with Jake, often bringing him breakfast or being there for him to support him in his moments of grief. That, in turn, causes him to question his acts of mistrust, asking Miriam if him doing all that for him means nothing for the boy, questioning his own worth. He is shown to be able to hold a grudge, however, as he does with Ellie, who during the two-year gap between the seasons starred in a reality TV show. There, she called out every contestant on their behavior and lynched every one of them, all for money.

Tom doesn't like leaving any knots untied, coming to terms with Jake after their many mishaps, promising to each other they will try to be better and more mature, focusing more on trusting each other and resolving things by talking. That, however, is completely different to how he acts in the All Stars.

During All Stars, despite keeping his sweet and kind demeanor, he's also shown to be rather hypocritical at times, pointing out Jake tripping Aiden during one of the challenges and calling him out on that, not minding the fact he's done the same thing to other contestants during the very same challenge. In the beginning of the season, after ghosting Jake and Miriam for 2 years he became much more agressive towards them, especially Jake, which is unlike what he have been shown during the first season, especially since he, Jake and Miriam separated on friendly terms. Despite that, as of the seventh episode he's shown to have warmed up towards Jake, meaning it is possible that Tom finally realized Jake really has changed for the better. He also confirms to him that he has a boyfriend, which he has been dating for months prior to the season, however it's uncertain whether this is true or he had told another lie. Tom has pale skin, short black hair, teal eyes and scars on the right side of the chin. His clothing consists of a black sweater with a black pocket on the left chest and with a teal and black striped hood, black pants, a black belt with a teal buckle, dark teal tool pockets, dark teal and light teal striped gloves and black boots. He used a teal and light teal striped mask to conceal his scars, but in "Don’t Open, Campers Inside" he decided not to use it anymore to leave it together with his past. Jake has pallid skin, dark blue hair, black eyebrows and black eyes, his clothing consists of a salmon and black hooded jacket with an angry skull with sharp teeth on the chest, a white t-shirt underneath, gray shorts, white socks with green stripes and dark salmon and white shoes.Jake is a friendly person, but can be a little naïve or insecure when it comes to his relationships with others, to the point of paranoia. When he is upset, he often comes across as sarcastic and stubborn and is also known to jump to conclusions. His naivete has also been known to be easily exploited by some of the more manipulative contestants. Despite his flaws, when calm, he is intelligent and thinks carefully on making strategic plays. He also always tries to be helpful to others, no matter what the situation is.
