Sam Sugar

Sam Sugar is the Winner of Night Shift Game 1, making him the first winner of the series.

Game 1
Sam represented the very definition of the social game. In almost every respect, he was likable, comical, and detested liars.

Sam began with a relatively similar approach to Carson's. He wasn't one to talk much about the game, and his mentality largely focused on "vibing" with the group. There actually wasn't much separating the two's paths from each other. They both played guitar, they both knew where votes were headed and how to respond, and they both would repeat this method. There was only one real thing that separated his game from Carson's...

Sam's name was never mentioned once in any confessional, not even slightly. It wasn't until the final four that the other finalists even casually mentioned him, and that was in disclosing their final three plans. Almost magically, the idea of eliminating the one person with next to no blood on their hands slipped past the herd of players intent on absolute destruction of their rivals before their true competition. A true testament to his ability, whether intentionally or not, to seemingly convince everyone of the classic reality parable: If someone isn't overly strategizing, then they aren't winning a Jury Vote.

Sam would go on to the final two and make a simple pitch. He had the willpower and the stamina to not only compete in, but win a challenge that involved nearly drinking "hose water" whilst being pushed and obstructed by the main target of the season. Sam then proceeded to win in a unanimous 5-0 Jury Vote, even winning over the votes of Ozzie and Sabre.
