Are ‘Survivor’s Ori Jean-Charles & Jelly Loblack Dating After Season 51?
The helicopter alliance may have met its end during the October 28 episode of Survivor, when Jelly Loblack and Devin Way were forced to send home their ally, Ori Jean-Charles, at their three-person tribal council. However, fans are still curious about one connection that could have made it out of Fiji.
During Season 51, Jelly and Ori immediately connected, with Jelly sharing, “Ori, he just had a certain energy about him. Something that I was, like, so drawn to” during their first conversation in Episode 1. After they landed on the same tribe, things got very flirty, very fast.
So, now that Ori has been sent packing to Ponderosa, we’re taking a deep dive into their connection today. Did they reconnect after filming wrapped? Do they even live near each other? And have the stars aligned for them to actually start dating? We’re breaking down all that and more below!
What happened between Jelly and Ori on Survivor?
The second Jelly and Ori met, they bonded over their love of food, specifically lasagna. Jelly told viewers, “When he said lasagna was his dream meal, like, something in me lit up.” She then told him, “When I become wifey, that’s my go-to dish.” While Jelly and Ori were separated when the group was split up into two tribes, they were quickly reunited.
During Episode 4, after the tribe swap, when Jelly and Ori both landed on the same beach, Ori tested out pick-up lines on Jelly in front of their tribe. Ori explained, “I love love. I’m a lover boy, I’ll be honest. But I’m playing Survivor. Right now, I’m here for a million dollars. I’m not here looking for love. But in real life, I’m definitely ready [and] looking for a partner.”
Are Jelly Loblack and Ori Jean-Charles dating?
Right now, it appears that Jelly and Ori are just friends. After sharing an incredibly flirty connection on Season 51, they have reconnected multiple times. Still, they haven’t given any indication that they’re exploring their connection from Fiji. When Ori was sent home, he posted, “When you get friendzoned and voted out at the same time.” Oof!

Where do Jelly and Ori live?
Hypothetically, if Jelly and Ori were to make a relationship work, it would be long-distance. Right now, Jelly lives in Bloomington, Indiana, even though she is from Garland, Texas. Ori, on the other hand, lives in Spring Valley in Rockland County, New York.
Has Jelly commented on Ori’s elimination?
While Jelly hasn’t said much about sending home her potential showmance, she did repost Ori’s “friendzoned” post with a broken heart GIF.
