## Survivor

### *Egypt*

On *Canadian Survivor: Egypt*, Allan was a member of the Montu tribe. Day 2, Allan works hard at camp. Day 3, Kwaku led the charge in targeting Hasan as the weakest member of the tribe. When Hasan targeted Allan, the vote became easy for Allan. Day 4, May selects Allan to join Atum, he would then chose Linda. Day 8, bonds strongly with Linda and they form the **Atum Three** alliance with Miro. Day 10, when Miro leaves the **Atum Core**, Allan is recruited. Day 11, they agree to vote out Miro's target, Reina. Day 15, Allan leaves *Atum Core*.

Day 18, Allan leads the New Atum tribe in sending Charles home, 6-4. Day 20, Allan rests at camp to restore energy. Day 24, despite wanting to take a shot at Alina, he honours May's wishes in wanting to be voted out. Day 26, joins **Osiris Four** with Miro, Debbie and Tim, a decoy alliance that Miro spearheaded to give Debbie confidence. Day 27, when Debbie is voted out, she uses the Hidden Immunity Idol and Miro is blindsided.

Day 30, Allan finds himself in a tie vote with Felicity and is spared in the re-vote by Debbie and Linda. Day 33, with Debbie Immune, the Battle between Alina and Allan would finally come to a head and fortunately for Allan - Debbie and Linda would vote with Allan and send Alina to jury. Day 36, Tim plays a Hidden Immunity Idol forcing Allan and Linda into a fire-tiebreaker, where Allan would be eliminated and sent to jury.
