Cal Sammond

==Background==
Calvin Noah "Cal" Sammond is a contestant on The Strife. He is reliable and determined but also cynical and brash. Growing up, his attitude got him kicked out at the age of 15 where he lived on the streets for two years before a friend helped him out. Nowadays, he has finished his high school education and has taken a year in graphical design. After his appearance on Season 5, he begun dating Sheila Golchin. At the Season 10 reunion, Cal proposed to Sheila, who said yes.To note: their heritage is South African.
==Season 1==
While he started out friendly and nice, he, soon, got annoyed with half of the cast, and started making personal comments, leading to a few altercations. However, on Day 9, he stopped and apologized, although he acknowledged in the Confession Room that he did that so that he wouldn't go early. With Alisha and Marlene getting on peoples' nerves, the three of them made an alliance to never vote for each other and began hanging out exclusively with each other. However, Cal then threw Alisha under the bus to save himself but it wasn't enough as others saw him as more intimidating, leading to his ouster.
==Season 2==
Returning from Season 1 as one of the early boots chosen to return, he said that he won't let this chance go to waste. He acknowledges that his attitude was the problem and says that he has what it takes to win but he needs to work on the attitude. As a chosen returnee, he was tasked with a risk or reward challenge to determine how the first week will go for him. He lost the challenge and was given 5 votes automatically. He then was in the Top 3 highest votes as his attitude seeped out a bit but he only received votes from Jonna and Talita. He ended up being safe and moved on. On Day 8, he decided to separate himself from Alisha to avoid being sent out on Day 11 again. By Day 11, nobody viewed him as a threat. While he was friends with Jonna due to them bonding over similar pasts, they got into many arguments, leading to them voting for eachother. On Day 32, they made up and decided to work together. He was also prone to getting into arguments with others from Day 18 onwards. As of Day 23 onwards, he only considers Lydia to be his one true ally, even after making up with Jonna later on. On Day 33, he and Lydia got into an argument, ending their agreement. Cal then decided that he was going to go solo for the remainder of the season. He managed to make it to the finale but was the second out, placing fourth.
