== Gameplay ==
=== Mystery Island ===
Being a high school senior in a cast primarily composed of underclassmen, Elias debuted on the Merlot Tribe. Right out of the gate, he had (somewhat) solid connections due to who he knew from school. One of the six veterans, Meg Hailer, was one of these people and they wanted to protect Elias and align with him for as long as they could. On the contrary, he was approached by Corri before the game even started for a separate alliance with Amy and Bailey. On the premiere night, he notably grew to dislike Karina when she started going off on everything to ever exist, but still hung on to the idea that she is capable of moral redemption. Things went really well for Elias overall due to his social position, but he also managed to acquire the Merlot hidden immunity idol on Day 1! He pulled his weight in given challenges, participating in the Scavenger Hunt and editing photos for That’s Hot, but ultimately Merlot fell short both times. On the flip side, decisions were easily made as Amanda committed social suicide and Amy quit the game for technical difficulties, resulting in Merlot’s second tribal being cancelled.
On Day 5, he swapped onto Sylvaner. Socially, he began to fade into the background, but still pulled his weight, nonetheless. He and his tribe communicated, and they won immunity in Asscrack of Dawn, but unfortunately a losing streak arose facing the Silky Jigsaw. Sophia didn’t participate, which gave Sylvaner a penalty and sent them to tribal. Fortunately, she was the easy choice to be voted out as every member of Sylvaner (except for herself) did so. The following day, Sylvaner lost 21 Flags. Elias was unfortunately outside of the majority alliance on Sylvaner, the Koochie Killerz. Meg was a part of the alliance and while they considered it too risky to bring Elias in as a member, they vouched for his safety facing tribal. As a result, Kamilla was voted off in a 3-1 vote. Sylvaner’s death streak continued into Day 8, and Adrian was exiled from the tribe on Mystery Island. With three people to vote, Elias was the only target for the alliance to vote off. In a 2-1 vote, he ended up being sent home with the Merlot idol in his pocket. It is unknown whether he consciously chose not to use it, thought he was safe, or simply forgot about it, but he ended up placing 11th overall. It was bittersweet for the Koochie Killerz as a whole, as they later mentioned he deserved to make it to jury over multiple players on the other tribe, notably Bailey.
