Alex Steib

**Alex Steib** was a contestant on Survivor: Winter War and Survivor: Last Chance.

   Despite attempting to play the game aggressively, Alex would sadly find himself the first person voted out of his first season after his tribe quickly turned their backs on him. On his second attempt, Alex would redeem himself in challenges and spare himself from the first few vote offs, unfortunately for him, a tribe swap would prove to be his match and he was voted out right before the merge.

## Season

### Tribe(s)

Targaryen Tribe (Winter War)Potawatomi Tribe, Targaryen Tribe (Last Chance)

## Survivor: Winter War

Alex would start out the game on the Targaryen Tribe, and he would be ecstatic to see a familiar face, that being one of the returning players, Richie. When his tribe started to look for hidden immunity idols, he approached Richie off the side and they both made a final two pact with each other. Alex would then attempt to bond with his tribemates. At the first immunity challenge of the season, Alex and Ness were both selected to compete in the immunity challenge by Richie after he was given the opportunity to step up and pick. Unfortunately for them, they would not get the best of luck, and they would both go out very quickly and lose the first immunity challenge.

Back at camp, Alex attempted to apologize for his challenge performance and mentioned that he would understand if it was his time to go, but publicly followed up on that saying that he still had more game he wanted to play. Alex assumed the others were throwing his name out there for the vote when asked privately in a confessional in regards to the vote, of which he was still unsure of who he would be voting. What Alex did not know, was that the vote was coming down between him and his ally, Richie, who was attempting to throw the vote onto Alex to secure his safety. At tribal council, Alex would unfortunately become the first person voted out of the game, placing 15th out of 15th.

Alongside Richie, Casey, Jadon, and Arthur, Alex would get a chance to get back into the game via. a Comeback Challenge. Sadly, despite his best efforts, things did not work out for Alex, as he would lose to Jadon, and his time in the game would be finished.

## Survivor: Last Chance

Alex would return to the game for his second chance, and would be placed on the Potawatomi Tribe alongside Ashley, Collin, Conner, Lita, Michael, Sam C., and Sam R., and would immediately have to compete in their first immunity challenge of the season, of which they would end up winning thanks to a great effort put forth by Alex at the end of it, keeping himself safe for the first round. At camp, Alex would privately state his happiness at them winning, claiming it to be therapeutic while discussing his happiness to be back in the game despite his nervousness to return. While he was bonding with his tribemates, some of them would be thinking much about his presence in the game, such as Sam C., who privately was concerned about Alex going after him due to how well he had done in their original season. However, Sam C. brushed it off, mainly due to him believing that Alex was unaware of his game due to him being voted first.

At the next immunity challenge, Alex would be very beneficial to the Potawatomi Tribe as he helped in many ways to make and increase their lead throughout the challenge, giving his tribemates a good head start for the puzzle portion, of which they would complete first and win immunity once again, keeping Alex safe. Back at camp, Alex would wish to celebrate with his tribe as some of them decided to drink some beers and converse and bond with each other, keeping Alex in very high spirits for the game. However, a Tribe Swap the next round would shake things up for Alex, as he was swapped to the new Targaryen Tribe alongside Jack D., Jake, JP, and Tom. Despite seeming to be in a bad position when considering that he was on a new tribe with no one from his original, Alex still attempted to make the best out of his situation by hyping up his tribemates and claiming that he wanted to get them their first immunity win of the season. At the immunity challenge, Alex was able to make through on his intentions as the new Targaryen Tribe would win the immunity challenge, keeping them safe for another round and giving Alex some time to converse with his new tribemates back at his new camp.

At the next immunity challenge, Alex would choose to sit out, with Jack D. telling him to cheer from them from the sidelines and bring the "winning culture" to help them win. Alex would deliver, as he would cheer on his tribe during the challenge to motivate them as they won a second consecutive challenge, keeping Alex safe once again as he would go back to camp to bond with his team in hopes of getting himself to the merge. At the next immunity challenge, Alex would give it his all to try to help his tribe win, even scoring their first point in a memory challenge. Unfortunately, his tribemates were not so lucky in their rounds, and Tribe Targaryen would only score 1 point, sending Alex to Tribal Council for the first time this season, to which some people on the other tribes believed he would not survive. Back at camp, Alex would make quick work by talking to Jake and Tom, with the three of them putting a plan in place to vote off Jack D., who they all saw as a threat due to his reputation in his past seasons. While Alex would initially be in on this plan, Alex's name would also be thrown out to Jack D. by JP, who wanted to keep the target off of him, even though JP had just talked to him moments before about voting off Jake. In private, Alex would be upset that the winning streak was over and revealed that everyone is throwing everyone's name out on the chopping block, with him trusting what he had heard despite him also not being confident due to him being the only original-Potawatomi Tribe member on a swapped tribe of all original-Targaryen Tribe members. Even though he had a small target on him, with Jake even essentially saying this in his confessional, Alex's target increased as they all searched for the hidden immunity idol, with some people even believing that he was in possession of it. At Tribal Council, this would come back to bite him, as despite him voting for Jake, Alex would be voted out in a 3-1-1 vote, with Jake ironically being the only one to vote to keep Alex around. Alex would be the fifth person voted out of the game and would place 13th out of 17th.
