Charles Bergeron

Charles is the Lone Survivor of Essential Survivor: 
==Anarchy==
Charles came into the game with optimism and came out of it with a W on his belt. Charles’s game shows you how to win the game without being the huge front runner or this big player. And while some people may say that’s a bad thing, we’ve seen countless players play too hard and lose, rather than play too hard and win.
After analyzing the ‘Anarchy’ twist, Charles began to make the Todas camp his new home. Immediately clicking up with Tal, recognizing that he could be a decent ally further down the road. He went into the challenge hoping to be in the middle of the pack, but ended up doing extremely well. With this twist in the game, Charles knew that he needed to tone down his challenge prowess in order to maintain his physical threat level. This meant that he went to the next three Tribal Councils, and even better, had no issues revolving them. 
Heading into the 2-tribe portion of this game, Charles was lucky with the draw. He noticed all of the big and louder players getting shafted to the other tribe, making it easier for him to create better bonds with the more calm people on his tribe (Rapa). During their first Tribal Council, Charles (while being in the middle) didn’t have much trouble deciding his vote. One side contained Barney & mink, while the other contained Tal & Parker. Due to having a connection with Tal and his growing suspicion of Barney, you can tell where Charles’s vote went. Unfortunately, Barney saved himself with an idol (and Charles as well), idoling Tal out of the game.
Luckily, due to the fiery nature of the last round, when heading to Tribal again. An ally of Charles’s, Parker, was mentally checked out of the vote and requested to be voted out. However, Charles wasn’t in a bad situation, while Barney and Mink knew he flipped on him the round before, they still had enough trust in him moving forward. After winning the next challenge, Rapa went back to TC for a third time. And here came yet another crazy one. 
Now officially working with Barney and Mink, Charles planned on giving them all of the control in hopes that he’d come off looking like a smaller threat compared to the likes of them. His plan was to boot Raini due to his own low connection with them, but his allies weren’t fond of that idea and wanted to boot Kam instead. Of course, Charles stood ground and voted Raini, leading into a 2-2-1 tie split vote between him and Kam. Fortunately, his two allies saved him but definitely not without some backlash. Especially from Raini. 
Heading into the merge, the game didn’t slow down for Charles at all. With ally Mink winning immunity, all eyes were on Barney for the vote. Heck, even Charles wanted to vote him out as he spilled their plans all for the other side to learn about. He didn’t enjoy Barney’s selfish and chaotic playstyle. But for some reason, reversed his decision and stayed loyal as Barney got voted out 7-3. Being scarred from Barney’s vote out, Charles took his UTR strategy and executed it with ease, saving his name from coming up right until the Final Five, when people started to make the realization that they had made a mistake leaving him in the game.
After winning F5 Immunity, Charles had 2 targets in mind. Elle or Brittney, ultimately he ended up choosing Elle and evening going as far as solidifying a Final 2 deal with Brittney. Perceiving that they had the same path to the end. Alas, Lauren won immunity that next round, And with the F4 Firemaking twist in play, she sent Charles and Brittney to fire, which he had won.
In the Final 3, Charles was pretty confident that he could beat both Raini and Lauren. So much so, that he made Final 2’s with them both. Eventually, he ended up winning and taking Raini to the FTC over Lauren who he felt would have a better chance of beating him. Turns out his perception was wrong as during the FTC, Raini was doing better than expected and catering to the likes of the jurors. However, it wasn’t enough to beat Charles as he won by a slim 4-3 vote.
