ProfileEdit

Jessica Kiper prides herself on being flirty and fun. When she is not acting, this 34 year old works as a waitress named "Sugar" at '50s diners and enjoys singing and making music. Friends describe this single, free-spirit as crazy, funny and cool. Currently, this blonde pin-up model lives in Brooklyn, N.Y. with her dog, "Major P. Pants," but has spent time living in various places throughout the country including Florida, Rhode Island, Louisiana, and San Francisco and Los Angeles, California.

Jessica can be a bit of a goofball and her laugh is contagious. Although at first glance she may not look tough, despite being adorned with several tattoos, Kiper has been through a lot in her life, including the recent death of her father, whom she called her hero. Despite the struggles she's faced, Kiper has always come out on top. She is ready to bring her spunk, positive attitude and bubbly personality into the game of SURVIVOR and hopes to grow as a person after the experience and win enough money to "get off people's couches." Jessica was born on February 22, 1979.

Survivor: GabonEdit

Sugar Kiper was chosen by Ace Gordon to be on the Kota, stating that wasn't appropiate for a photographer to not have a model. When it was her turn to pick, Sugar chosed Marcus Lehman. Kota won the first three challenges. However, the opposing tribe, Fang, made a comeback and won the next reward and immunity challenges. Fang exiled Sugar and this season was given the choice of finding the hidden immunity Idol or living in a luxurious hut. She chose to look for the idol and revealed her stategy for eliminating "bad people" and her motivation was her father that recently died. She  found that Idol, Something that Corinne Kaplan doubted she was capable of. Sugar agreed that Paloma Soto-Castillo was the weakest due to her dismal performance in the reward challenge was voted her out.

On Day ten after ranking Tribe member in order of importance, a Tribe switch  by Schoolyard pick occured. Sugar was the person unpicked and was automatically Exiled and would resided at Exile Island until the losing tribe's tribal council. Having found the idol already, she chose the hut. After the immunity challenge was over and being informed that Fang lost, Sugar looked forward to heading to the fang camp, Knowing that Ace and Jacquie Berg was both switched to Fang. Much to her suprise, Jacquie was voted out over Kelly Czarnecki. The New Fang generally lost challenges, and Sugar was frequently exiled. Sugar felt guilty that she was eating the many foods of the hut(which she dubbed the "Sugar Shack"). Sugar was targetted by the Fang Alliance for her close relationship with Ace, but was spared because GC Brown wanted to leave and Kelly was irritating the Fang Alliance. At the next immunity, It was revealed that it would be a Double Tribal Council and the challenge was individual. Sugar made it to the final round with Ace and Marcus, but was the first person out. Despite that, Marcus gave her a second Individual immunity for the fang. After realizing Ace had been lying to her, Sugar conspired with Crystal Cox and Ken Hoang to blindside him. In her confessional, she still thanked him for the wonderful time. The plan worked like a charm.

At the double tribal council, the tribes enjoyed what was thought to be a merged feast. Unfortunately, it was a setup for a second tribe switch. Sugar stayed on Fang with Matty Whitmore, reunited with Corinne and Charlie Herschel from the original Kota, and introduced to Randy Bailey. The new Fang "who started pronounced it like the American pronounciation" won the next immunity challenge. 

Sugar was shocked that Marcus was voted out. Jeff announced the tribes had merged and new tribe would stay at the Fang Camp. The former Kotas try to get Sugar but she stay loyal to her tribe and joined in voting out Charlie over Crystal. Bob Crowley told he had the Idol, but being the real holder of the Idol, she knew that was a lie. At the Survivor Auction, brought a mystery item, which turns out to be peanut butter and chocolate for $340. Randy brought cookies for the tribe and offered Sugar his cookie. She took it and gave it to Matty, much to Randy's annoyance. Sugar agreed with the Alliance to vote out Randy for he was making camp life more unbearable. Bob told Sugar that his Idol was fake and she suggested to give it to Randy. At tribal council that night, Sugar Laughed out loud when the Idol was revealed to be a fraud. Sugar also voted out Corinne who she had issues with but Ken voted against Matty as a failsafe is Corinne had an Idol.

Matty was angered by this. Crystal starting yelling at him to keep his loyalty. Sugar witnessed this and viewed Ken and Crystal as bad people and helped in voting out the duo. Sugar was set on going to the final tribal council with Bob and Matty. This would go up in smoke as Susie Smith won the final immunity challenge. Bob convinced Sugar to vote against Matty, and being close with both men, Sugar decided to give Bob a fair chance. Bob won the tiebreaker and Matty was voted out.

At Final Tribal Council, Sugar gave poor answers to the Jury to the point of answering " You don't have to vote for me". Corinne called  Sugar a unproductive leech on society and would only vote her if Sugar was to receive anti-depressants so it would be sincere when she cried about her dead father. Sugar responded to the comment with a obscene gesture. Sugar received no jury votes and finished as the second runner-up.

Assigned to the Heroes Tribe due to her wanting to keep the "good people" around, Sugar was shown to be a lot less helpful in camp than the other members of her team. In the first Immunity Challenge, she was placed on the puzzle station. Despite a strong lead, the puzzle portion of the challenge was where the Heroes lost their lead, then the challenge.

“	"Sugar, right on cue, you're crying.	”
–Jeff Probst

It was apparently clear that Sugar was the one to blame. Prior to Tribal Council, Sugar began acting strange around camp by singing at night time and following Colby around. When it came to the vote, the entire tribe deemed her the weakest, and she became the first person voted out of the game.
