***Georgy*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Saint Martin

## Saint Martin

Never have I seen such a big blunder before in Essential Survivor history. Georgy, starting on the wrong side of the numbers, eventually switched over to the correct side during the first vote. But despite, being on the right side, a good amount of distrust was noticed around Georgy. Specifically, from Tommy.Once the swap hits, he’s on the new Gonzalo tribe, with the numbers from OG Irma. Georgy’s game was going somewhat well, as he created the alliance that had taken out Steph at 14th. But, this is where is game began to plummet. As Gonzalo lost yet another challenge, the alliance that georgy himself created, was planning to take out James. Due to his somewhat inactivity, and inconsistent challenge performance. But for some reason, Georgy began to tell lies, saying that Tyler was attempting to blindside Tommy. But once Georgy told Tommy the fake news, Tommy and Tyler made it their goal to completely blindside Georgy. Which worked as they pulled in Derek and James on the plan. Getting Georgy’s torch abruptly snuffed, at Day 13.

Patrick Mizanin

***Patrick*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Canary Islands

## Canary Islands

To start off the game, Patrick made close ties with Jonathan, Jessica, and Amber. Previously knowing Amber from another ORG. Due to La Gomera's winning streak, there wasn't many developments to Patrick's premerge game.

Come merge, Patrick was against picking off the Tenerife 3. He wanted to spice things up by working with Vince, someone else he recognized from a different ORG. For the merge vote, Patrick learned from Vince that Phillip was gunning after Jabari, so him and the rest of the tribe planned to boot Phillip because of his unpredictable nature. Unfortunately, Patrick forgot to vote and earned a self-vote. But he still managed to surpass Phillip as he went home.

Throughout the first two merged challenges, Patrick threw both as an attempt to lower his threat level. His main allies at the Final 9 were Amber, Jonathan, Vince and Jessica. And while he enjoyed Jonathan and Vince the most he also knew that they were most likely his biggest threats, going as far as to talking with Vince, Jessica and Amber about blindsiding him, who all seemed on-board. But due to a fight that happened at Tribal Council between Vince and Jabari. Patrick wanted to put the Jonathan blindside on hold to snipe Jabari. And when they do that, him, Amber, Vince and Chelsea will hold majority to take out Jonathan.

One thing that Patrick did a lot was try to plan out the rest of the game. He wanted Amber at Final two because he thinks he could've beat her, wanted Vince out at 6, Jessica or Chelsea out at 5, and so on so forth.

After Jabari went home unanimously, Patrick was starting to turn the gears on this Jonathan blindside. He reiterated a lot that it was HIS move. Jonathan lost immunity, making this a prime time to take him out. but when Amber started to plant seeds in the four-person alliance about taking out Jessica, the plan shifted from Jonathan to her.

At Final 6, Patrick wanted to return back to Tribal lines to take out Vince. But when Vince managed to convince Jonathan (and by extension Tommy) to take out Patrick, he was abruptly voted out 4-2. While Patrick played a good game, he got in over his head, resulting in his elimination.
Cass Duke

***Cass*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Yemen

## Yemen

Cass played a minor role this season. Despite placing late premerge, we didn’t see much of her at all. Albeit, due to a certain event in the game. But still, she had a small plotline with Matt for a few episodes, then went radio silent. Regardless of what you think of Cass, she wasn’t invisible and she wasn’t just not playing.

In the beginning of the game, Cass was very excited to jump in and start. So excited that she was one of the few people who immediately ran into the vicinity once at camp. After becoming unsuccessful, she assumed that Joshua or James possessed the idol. Although, it was Alison who really had it. Coincidentally, the person Cass felt the best with after first impressions. As they became a duo, they maneuvered through the game together. But adversity struck when at the first vote, despite having a consensus on Tony. Cass received 2 votes. One of them being from herself as she forgot to vote and one of them being a mystery. Cass immediately thought it was Matt. But even though she didn’t trust him much after this, she still wanted to work with him. ‘Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer’.

At the next Tribal, things got even wilder. Notwithstanding their previous stances, the trio of Felix, Cass and Alison all landed on Matt as their target for the vote. They went and told ally Owen about it, and he went dead silent. Obviously making them think he’s snitching to Matt about it. However, they let it side and spread the word to a few more people. Unfortunately for Cass, she wasn’t in the good position she thought she was in and was blindsided by Khamp going home 5-4. This prompted her to go completely silent for the next few episodes due to anger.

She then becomes swapped on Mahjuz 2.0 with Terry, facing Josh, Cedrick and Preston. Being in the minority, Cass was forced to trust Terry here. But that’s all we know as Cass didn’t make a confessional again until she was voted out 2 episodes later. Where she was targeted for being more of a tribe liability compared to Terry.

Oscar Gaines

***Oscar*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites

## Fans Vs. Favorites

Coming into this game, Oscar was going to be interesting to watch. He had a pre-existing relationship with Oma that never remained positive. But for the sake of the game, they squashed it. Planning to take on a provider role, Oscar wasn’t too focused on making social bonds early in the game -- a big mistake. He planned to make an all-black alliance that never came to fruition, so when the Tribal Council was on the horizon and Oscar had no solid bonds to fall back on, he was swiftly targeted by the tribe, going home 9-1.

James Bazinga

***James*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Saint Martin

## Saint Martin

You truly hate to see a player with unused potential. It really makes you wonder what would’ve happened if they had given it their all. But sadly, that wasn’t the case for James.

James started the game off on the dysfunctional Irma tribe. Admittedly not knowing too much about his tribe, he got into what was a majority alliance by the hands of Brooks. Only for Will to grab two people from said alliance and flip them over. Needless to say, by Day 4, James’s only ally at the time was Lindsay. Which he wasn’t stoked for. A few days after, a random tribe swap put James in the majority of the new Gonzalo tribe with three of his OG Irma tribemates. He really made close bonds with Tyler and Tommy, even with the former not too happy about having to align with him. But regardless, he kept voting with the two. Following through on Georgy and Derek vote. By now, James was a key player to Tyler and Tommy, since their other ally Will was now on the opposing tribe.

Now we’re at the merge. James is in a solid spot right now, he isn’t the center of attention for anyone but is also getting the information he needs so he’s not out of the loop. He stuck with OG Irma for the two first merged Tribal Councils. Now right after, this is where we see all of James’s potential to be a big player in the game. We see him, Tommy and Tyler all talking alone. And they’re discussing how much they trust the other two OG Irma; Will & Aria. Here we see James beginning to strategize a plan to blindside Aria. Alas, his plan gets thrown out the window as Will gets medically evacuated the next day. But now, we see James take a backseat from the Final 7 to the Final 5. Where he remarkably becomes the first person in Essential Survivor history to be eliminated by default.
Mojalefa Mogapi

***Mojalefa*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Maldives

## Maldives

This trend of perjury preseason favorites continues with the one and only Mojalefa. Being one of the early front runners in the seasons allowed fans to root for him very early in the game. But when irl duties struck, he was forced to “quit” asking his tribe to vote him out.

Starting on the blue Dhoni tribe, Mojalefa began to make and notice first impressions within his tribe. Immediately attempted to connect with Trish and Zent, but realized that their clashing personalities would never mesh well with each other. However, he DID get along with Brad, Kamala and Trey. Wishing for an alliance between them. Instead, he got an alliance with Brad, Trey and Jake. Feeling safe within the tribe nonetheless as they voted out Rhaegal.

At that same tribal, the topic of returnees came up. Mojalefa, forgetting about the returnees, was caught off-guard. Immediately resorting to the thought of returnee alliances. Causing a crack with him and Trey. But his eyes were on another returnee; Zent. However, that was quickly scrapped once Trish and Kamala began to cause chaos within Dhoni by hiding numerous fake idols. So to counter that, Moja’s alliance went for Gove due to his poor social game and the small likelihood of having an idol.

Right after, a swap occurred. And before Moja could find some common ground to work with. He landed a new gig, resulting in him asking the new tribe to vote him out.

Jack Doe

***Jack*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Canary Islands

## Canary Islands

Jack was unfortunately someone who did not click with the cast given to them. At the marooning, he never made any immediate strong bonds, which dropped his social capital to the bottom of his tribe. However, he had nothing to worry about at the first tribal council, where instead of voting out the tribe member who didn’t talk too much to others, Tenerife voted out the tribe member who didn’t talk at all, which was Brenden.

The next episode, Jack was building a fairly strong bond with Tai, which strengthened more after Tai and Jack were revealed to be on the outside of Jon’s five person alliance - with Jack being the target. Despite wanting Claire out at the beginning of the episode, he switched to voting for Jon in order to save himself. Luckily, everyone else wasn’t a fan of Jon’s antics, and the stoner met his end, sparing Jack.

With six people left on Tenerife, Jack was at the bottom half of everyone’s trust rankings. Realizing he is likely next in line for elimination, Jack went into game mode. He had an idea of an alliance between himself, Claire, and Chelsea, and wanted to target either Vince or Greenberg. Although he had doubts of it working, he asked Claire if she wanted to blindside Vince. Claire accepted the offer, and started campaigning to Tai and Chelsea for Vince to leave and for a new majority to form. Jack decided to let Claire campaign by herself, and thought of two scenarios: the plan works, and Vince leaves, or the plan leaks, and votes out Claire. The latter happened, and after pinning the plan on Claire, he voted her out to save himself again.

The next day, Jack is frustrated. He’s called Tenerife boring and old, and his morale was low. After the fourth challenge loss, Jack knew he was leaving due to his low tier positioning; even the castaways admitted on the day of tribal council that they would inevitably vote for him. So, when asked his questions about the game in his confessional, he simply said “I would answer (these), but I’m catching a flight to leave the Canary Islands in an hour and a half.” He indeed caught that flight, but not before getting his torch snuffed at tribal council.

Jabari Pritchett

***Jabari*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Canary Islands

## Canary Islands

At the marooning, Jabari, a Tropical Smoothie employee, decided to approach the game with "Observe first, act later." She understood that her social game will lack in the beginning, which was proven true as she was near the bottom of the tribe's social ladder throughout the entirety of the pre-merge. So, to make up for this, she wanted to rely on her strategic abilities, and spent the majority of the pre-merge episodes trying to find a hidden immunity idol. However, despite the great amount of effort to find it, no idols were in hidden this season at all, and she suspected that the people she was closest to (Tommy, Jessica, and Jonathan) had an idol. So, at the end of six rounds, she had no idol, below-average connections, and a difficult path to the Final Tribal Council.

Come the merge, she was a large target due to her known strategic ability and lack of strong social connections. Despite being targeted by Phillip, she was spared in order to get rid of Phillip's paranoid personality. The final nine, however, was even worse for Jabari's game, as all three former Tenerife members voted for her, causing a three-way tie as the former La Gomera split their votes on Tai and Chelsea (the women voted for Tai, and the men voted for Chelsea). She was frustrated with the Tenerife, and argued with Tai and Vince at tribal council about loyalty. Even though the former La Gomera voted off Tai, Jabari left tribal council with an even worse social positioning.

With eight people left, and a surprise immunity win Chelsea, Jabari was wanting to target Vince due to his obvious threat to win. However, everyone else on the tribe unfortunately saw no more value in Jabari, and although Vince was definitely the more threatening player, he still served as a shield and potential number to some of the castaways. She was ejected in a slow 7-1 vote off.
Rebecca Miller

***Rebecca*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Brazil

## Brazil

Rebecca, the no-nonsense castaway, seeing her get all the way to the end was most definitely a shock to not only the spectators, but the jurors as well. But even as she left the Final Tribal Council with 0 votes, it was definitely a feat to get there in the first place. But let’s dive into that.

Once the marooning settled in for everyone on the Samba tribe, Rebecca had a gameplan to become the leader of an alliance, sort of like a mob boss. With this goal in mind, she attempted to rope in Winter, Dimitri and Kim into her mob boss plans. Unfortunately, they very latter had already started a majority alliance of her own. So with this information, and coupling her lack of social skills, Rebecca was enemy number one for the majority alliance. Unfortunately for them, when Rebecca was sent to Exile Island for Samba’s first Council, they resorted to Rebecca’s ally Winter. But luckily for Rebecca, she came back to the game bearing an advantage that’ll allow her to sit someone out of a challenge through the Final 7.

At the beginning of the merge, despite being on different sides during the pre-merge, the OG Samba majority alliance integrated Rebecca into their alliance, which prompted Rebecca to use her advantage on their target Paul. After this, besides winning an individual Immunity, Rebecca simply followed her allegiance to the very end with Brandon and Jess. But due to the jurors deeming her as a follower, she received no votes at the end. Losing in a 7-1-0 vote.
Chloe Gordon

***Chloe*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Scotland

## Scotland

For someone constantly known as ‘Rachel’s ally’. It feels as if Chloe never lived up to her full potential in this game. Which is the case for a couple pre-jurors, and in Chloe’s case, this is due to pre-relationships.

Beginning the game, Chloe was on a tribe with Rachel, Robby and Antonio. One thing to learn about her is that she isn’t the social type. Even more so when her tribe won the first two immunity challenges. So when Teine lost in the Double Tribal, she was an instant target due to being a main reason for her tribe’s loss. But due to them knowing each other beforehand, Rachel chose to scoop Chloe up on her back. As they targeted Antonio. Likewise, the boys targeted Rachel, causing an eruption between the girls and Antonio at Tribal Council live. Because of the tie, Antonio and Rachel were forced to compete in a live firemaking challenge, in which Rachel beat him. Leaving Chloe in a decent spot come swap.

Or so we thought… Come swap, Chloe was the only OG Teine on the new Teine tribe. Which meant he had to make social bonds with the others, and she had to make them fast. But as expected, none of her new tribemates felt too connected with her, resulting in her elimination at the first post-swap challenge they lost.

## Maldives

Continuing with the trend of preseason fan favorites, Gove was a winner pick to a lot of the Essential Audience. But despite his convincing and confident persona in confessionals, Gove noticed that his tribemates were completely dry socially, so while he thought it was due to a burnout from the Marooning, Gove was in the minority as a core four of Brad, Jake, Mojalefa and Trey clicked up. During his first Tribal Council, Gove was in on the Rhaegal vote. But Gove wasn’t out of it, he knew that Trey could be a threat down the line due to his previous performance. But when Dhoni returned to Tribal Council, Gove was targeting Zent due to his lackluster challenge performance. Unbeknownst to him, the Core Four + Zent ended up targeting him due to his positioning. (Along with the fake idol issue around camp surrounding the girls)

All in all Gove landed in 16th Place due to some bad luck and bad positioning within the tribe.

Jarek Unger

***Jarek*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Brazil

## Brazil

Jarek was definitely one of the more unique players in this cast. From his military style, to his lack of social interaction. Jarek was definitely something else during his short stay in Brazil.

Once Janeiro lost their first challenge, the tribe consensus was that trish was the target. Mainly because of her idol questions, and dominant attitude. But oddly enough, Jarek began pushing to save Trish and vote Jess because she was going to be a social threat soon. When one of the people he talked to declined that offer (Payton), he then threatened him, saying that Payton would be next if he didn’t listen to him. Payton obviously didn’t take much notice of it because of the small numbers Jarek had. By the first Tribal Council, Jarek had regretted voting Jess, due to being in an alliance with her some the start.

As Janeiro got another loss right after, Jarek’s whole ploy to save Trish definitely made him get onto everyone’s radar. But when the majority alliance of Milo, Evan, Payton, and Paul took action. They wanted to split the vote on Jarek and Dany to avoid an idol ruining their plans. In their own favor, it worked, sending Jarek home in a 4-2-1 vote.

Matthew Sherlip

***Matt*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Yemen

## Yemen

Despite making it to merge and single digits, Matt overall didn’t really do anything with his time in Yemen. Starting out on the Extrovert tribe, quite a few people saw Matt as an overall dry player and person. Starting off with his close allies of Felix and Terry,  Matt sat comfortably during the pre-swap phase of the game, following those who were driving the vote, receiving 4 votes for being viewed as an untrustworthy dry player, luckily Matt was on the right side of a blindside.

Come the swap, Matt had a comfortable 3-2 majority, as well as knowing Neb who landed on his swapped tribe. Losing the first swap challenge, Seal who was an inactive player was an easy boot, Matt focused on their social bonds, even discussing a final 3 with Neb and Felix.  Losing a 2nd in a row, while still in a 3-1 majority,  his pre-existing relationship caused him and Felix to flip on Owen. Matt’s best quality was easily his physical game, winning his tribe the longest endurance challenge in Essential history, and scoring 590 in Higher Lower, causing his tribe of three to be safe until merge.

Coming into merge, Matt didn’t really offer a lot. He voted for Josh due to a split idol vote which gained him traction with Alison and James. One would think Matt would be targeted for his physical game but his mouth is what wound up hurting him, when next tribal James informed him of a possible Felix blindside. Zak knew that Neb, Matt, and Felix were a tight trio. This led Zak, who was attempting to orchestrate  the Felix blindside, to distrust Matt for his loose lips and flip the votes, sending Matt home and a clean 4-3-2 vote, swiftly ending his game in Yemen.

## Tribe Breakdown (Starting Tribe)

Sahoeui, more commonly known as the "Beauty Tribe,' is one of the most dysfunctional starting tribes in the history of Essential. The castaways were dramatic, opinionated, and slightly over the top, which lead to a high-school like dynamic at Sahoeui. To add salt to the wound, a notable running joke this season was that "Beauty Tribe can't read," which first stemmed from most of the tribe spamming the wrong message almost seven hours into a 24 hour spamming challenge, directly affecting to their loss. As this tribe began to explode with Kae's idol play at only the third tribal council, a swap came next, and the beauty tribe brought their craziness to all of the other contestants.
Drew Baker

***Drew*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Togo

## Togo

Watching Drew play (much like his pfp) was a roller coaster. He had some very interesting moments, yet sometimes his social game would lack. But I’m fine with where Drew landed, and his game surely is fun to analyze.

Drew, getting picked to be on the Tchamba tribe, was on the more excited side to have being cast. He liked his tribe’s winning mentality and being added to a 4-person alliance consisting of Leetah, himself, Brendan, and Gabe made him feel even better. But Tchamba getting too comfortable and losing the first challenge didn’t help his mood. So after tons of consideration between Jack and Bandit, the alliance decided to turf Bandit because they thought Jack would be more involved within the tribe. But what Drew didn’t know was that Brendan and Gabe were playing the middle men as they were also in an alliance with Jack and Bandit. They ended up siding with them, but not after Gabe told Leetah at she may be getting votes, which prompted her to play her idol, negating four votes. And while Drew’s target Bandit went home. Those two votes told him that Brendan and Gabe flipped.

So being pissed that he wasn’t in the majority, Drew began to press everyone except Leetah about the vote. Most notably Jack and Gabe, who both fed him lies that Drew didn’t even end up caring for as him and Leetah tried to get information out of them. But they were tight lipped so Drew got no type of info from the two.

At the swap, Drew was put on a tribe of Brendan and Jack, the latter still had a severe grudge against him for no apparent reason. And as he finally thought we could retrust Brendan and Jack, they lied to his and Liz’s face as he got blindsided in a 5-2 vote. A week after the swap.

Peru

***Essential Survivor: Peru - Second Chance*** is the thirteenth season of Essential Survivor. Also, the final season of its second era.

The hype around this season was huge. The previous full returnee season was All Stars, which was a huge success. So this season had a very tall order from jump. However, it was just never able to hit the expectations. With a controversial cast, a very unfavored boot order and a fairly predictable outcome. This season is commonly regarded as one of Essential's worst. Despite the winning game being one of Essential's best.

## Casting

35 previous castaways were put on a ballot to be voted into the game by the public. 20 of them made the cut.
Age of Industry

***Essential Survivor: Age of Industry*** is the fifteenth season of Essential Survivor.

A season with a huge currency twist right out of the gate, should've made this season stand out. Well, it did, but for all the wrong seasons. One of the weakest casts yet, purely wasn't able to keep people interested in the season. And with two double quits (and one of the ORG's most controversial players ever), a bad taste was left in everyone's mouth fairly quickly. This season didn't come without positives though. A few standout players were on this season and we finally saw the perceived outsiders make a stand against the people running the game. Unfortunately, these positives weren't able to save the perception that this is most likely Essential's worst season to date.

## Casting

Casting for Essential Survivor: Age of Industry began on February 4th, 2022 and ended on April 18th, 2022. A total of 45 applicants applied for this season, when only **20** got selected to compete in England.

In the two previous seasons of Essential Survivor, the premiere boots were simply flameouts that didn’t gain too much recognition without themselves being a flameout. Well with Bandit, I can whole-heartedly tell you that his vote-out wasn’t a fun one to witness. Let’s talk about it.

Getting picked by Leetah to go on the Tchamba tribe, he made quick bonds with both Brendan and Gabe. And to gain a majority, an alliance was made with those three, plus Jack. So even when they lost the challenge, Bandit couldn’t go home for a porr challenge performance, and due to the fact that he was in a majority alliance. The game was going pretty well for Bandit right about now. Brendan and Gabe were pulled into an alliance with Drew and Leetah. Being the middlemen, Brendan and Gabe decided to stick with Bandit and Jack and voted Leetah. Only issue was that Gabe had told Leetah that her name was coming up, prompting Leetah to play the idol on herself. With the only two votes left, being thrown at Bandit.

Milo, a negative-toned castaway, a negative-toned person, and definitely a so-called, negative-toned snake. As he landed in 7th Place let’s talk about his journey through the 30 days he had played.

From the marooning, and forward, Milo’s motto in this game was to either ‘kick ass or eat ass’. But whether he did either is really up to you guys. During the first moments of the game where people usually converse with each other, he took a strong liking to Gavin. Milo also helped form the first Janeiro alliance including himself, Evan, Paul, and Payton. But as they continued to discuss the vote, he realized that Payton was running things in that alliance as the other three merely listened. This was proved yet again when Payton ran the split vote idea between Jarek and Dany the following vote. But due to Payton being sent to Exile Island the third time they lost, Milo helped construct the Dany vote-out, giving him at least one thing to put on his resumé. At the Joint Tribal Council, MIlo was sent to Exile himself. Where he got nothing but a disadvantage that shows his vote at the next Tribal Council he attends.

Once he came back from Exile, he faced the sad reality that his ride-or-die Gavin has been medically evacuated from the game. But luckily for him and his timezone, the challenge was an overnight endurance comp. So Milo and Payton wrecked the competition (while Samba purposefully threw it) So by the next time Milo had gotten more screen time, it was the merge! He was somewhat at a disadvantage because everyone had already met each other at the Joint TC so Milo struggled to make serious relations with the Sambas. Which is why he decided to side with him on the first vote. He knew Janeiro’s target; Adam. And he also knew Samba’s target; Paul. So to break up the ‘Paul/Evan’ duo he thought was happening, he told Kim to play her idol on Adam, wanting Paul to go home with a plurality vote. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen as Payton played his Legacy on Paul at the last moment. But Milo’s plan still worked due to Evan receiving the next highest amount of votes. But this next episode is where things begin to go south for Milo.

As he got away with the blindside scot-free, Milo got over-confident in his abilities and he wanted to blindside Kim next. So despite Payton telling Milo that it was a bad idea, he proceeded to tell Brandon about the Kim plan, and of course, he relayed that info right back to Kim. Which made the majority alliance look at Milo as a snake. So he voted for Kim, compiling with Lucifer’s instructions. Eventually getting her out as Lucifer played his idol for Payton, idling Kim out.

By this time, Milo began to lose hope in his chances in winning, but as he began to survive the next couple of votes, his drive to win suddenly reappeared again. But once it came, it was gone as he got blindsided by a 4-2-1 vote at the Final Seven.
Canary Islands

***Essential Survivor: Canary Islands*** is the eleventh season of Essential Survivor.

A back-to-basics themed season relies heavily on its cast. And while most think this cast didn't hold up as well as they could've it's like a light switched for the backhalf of the game. As the underdogs went deep into the game, the season has one of the best endgames we've seen, with blindside after blindside repeatedly. And not to mention, quite possibly the best finalists we've seen as a whole.

## Casting

Casting for Essential Survivor: Canary Islands began on May 31st, 2021 and ended on July 4th, 2021. A total of 52 applicants applied for this season, when only **16** got selected to compete in the Islands.

## Twists

* **Back To Basics**: No swaps, advantages, or a Final Tribal Council with 3 people were in this season to emulate a Borneo feel.
Jess Hranek

***Jess*** was the Runner-Up on Essential Survivor: Brazil

## Brazil

If there was someone from the Janeiro tribe you wouldn’t expect to make it to the FTC, and become the last standing member of that same tribe. Eight times out of nine you wouldn’t be picking Jess Hranek. But her cards landed where they did, allowing her to place 2nd out of 18. Let’s talk about how.

After being marooned on the Janiero tribe, she quickly made bonds and formed an alliance with Milo and Payton, who were in the other alliance with Paul and Evan. This caused Jess to be an affiliate for that alliance the entirety of the pre-merge. Heck, you'd think that with her knowing Payton before, they’d have some sort of deal going on, but nope. Their bond was slim to non-existent during the pre-merge besides during the Joint. Where Payton swung Jess over from flipping to the Samba side. Jess even went to Exile Island, yet not managing to find anything. So I think it’s safe to say that Jess’s pre-merge game didn’t have much to it.

At the merge, due to the paranoia of being pagonged, Jess had finally flipped to the Samba side. Only for her to find out that a rumor of her having an idol was starting to float around camp. While she did get paranoid, she managed to keep her cool, and let the game take its course, which it did, resulting in Evan to go home in a double item play vote. For the remainder of the merge, Jess merely followed her allegiance to the FTC, mainly like Rebecca. But in spite of Rebecca, Jess received a vote from Lucifer. Allowing her to get 2nd in a 7-1-0 vote.

Leetah Bardh

***Leetah*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Togo

## Togo

Leetah, the oldest in this cast by a landslide, most people would think that this woman wouldn’t be able to connect with the competition due to the age difference, but despite a very rocky start. Leetah is considered one of the nicest castaways this season. But the way she was eliminated wasn’t good, leaving a hole in her Essential journey. Let’s talk about it.

Being one of the oldest in this cast, Leetah was Tchamba’s tribe captain, choosing her tribe entirely. When Tchamba went back to camp, Leetah made close ties with both Drew and Gabe, adding them to her alliance along with Brendan. When they lost the first challenge of the season, Leetah campaigned to her alliance for Bandit to be their target. Unbeknownst to Leetah, Brendan and Gabe were also included in another alliance with Bandit and Jack. Unfortunately for Leetah, Gabe and Brendan sided with the other side but before Tribal, Leetah found an idol. Which made it useful when gabe told her that she may be receiving votes. Which meant that she had idoled out Bandit on the first vote out. Clearly ticked off due to Gabe and Brendan flipping, her and Drew began to press the rest of the tribe. But that didn’t matter too much later due to a tribe swap.

The tribe swap left Leetah on the New Tchamba being the only OG Tchamba to be there. But when they lost the first post-swpa challenge, it was a tribe decision that Nick was the target. So they did just that, bringing Gabe into the tribe from Exile in return, much to Leetah’s excitement. But on the next vote, Leetah didn’t have too much of an impact, letting Gabe take most of the control on this vote. But her ties with Rey were thrown in this trash as he presumably disrespected her on his way out. This left Leetah in a bad state so when they won the final challenge before the merge, this gave Leetah a little break from all the drama.

When the merge came, Leetah was all here for the ride, excited for the game to shake up once more. But that excitement died down very fast when Douglas rubbed the camp the wrong way leading up to his quit. But as the game continued, Leetah personal’s life didn’t make her ready to play the game anymore leading to her sad quit. This quite hurt both Ben and Gabe’s strategically, but hurt everyone emotionally...
Brad Baker

***Brad*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Maldives

## Maldives

Brad is the perfect example of how things can go south extremely fast in the game of Survivor. From tribe leader to tribe pariah, Brad experienced the two main social standings in this game. And unfortunately, he was screwed into the latter. Ending his game.

On the original Dhoni tribe, he integrated himself into a good spot with Jake, Trey, Mojalefa and Kamala. Which didn’t matter much up until the third tribal in which Rhaegal was voted out for inactivity beforehand. Due to his grade A positioning, Brad wanted to chill out and relax for the first portion of the game. But his tribemates wouldn’t allow that as the girls started reporting fake idols, and Moja began to question Brad on if there was a returnee alliance. Regardless, despite wanting a Zent vote-out. He was swayed by his alliance to cut Gove and take the safe route

Come swap, Brad was truly screwed. Placed on a tribe with a 5:2 tribal ratio that *wasn't* in his favor. Brad had work to do. Unfortunately, the five Bodu Beru members that made it to his side were all tight. So no matter how much he put in to integrate himself, it failed. Resulting in Brad being voted out in 14th place since he seemed like more of a competitor than Kamala.

Bob Younger

***Bob*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Togo

## Togo

From being a social relations genius, to being a victim of a good read. It’s safe to say that Bob’s time in Togo surely had its fair share of high ups and low downs. But being on the ever-so-changing Kabre tribe, those up moments never lasted for too long, now let’s talk about it.

If there’s one thing you could praise Bob for during his eight days of gameplay, it’s his mere knowledge of the game. From the jump, he knew that with a tribe of six, he had to make quick and lasting connections, and that he had to do that fast. Well his plan surely did work because within hours Bob was included into two different alliances! All the while, he found his #1 ally in Kalina, who he respected due to their many responsibilities in the midst of the game. But after Kabre had won the first challenge, Ben offered up the idea of searching for idols together with Bob. Obviously, Bob agreed and asked where Ben had searched, in which Ben dodged the question and became deviant. Fueling the fire that was Bob’s suspicion of Ben possessing an idol (which he was right about)

During the next episode, Bob volunteered himself for the challenge along with Aidan, but after not understanding the rules well enough, he became first out of the challenge and paranoia struck. Causing him to do damage control with no damage to control. Thankfully, Aidan pulled through and won the challenge for Kabre. So that was the end of that. But by the third episode, Kabre had exactly lost a challenge, which is when things began to get a bit crazy.

For starters, there was a majority alliance that left out Bob and Nick. Since the tribe didn’t exactly like Nick’s personality and attitude toward some issues, they decided to turf him. But Ben and Aidan had other plans, the former began to spread lies that Bob had brought up Douglas’s name. But Kalina and Douglas didn’t fall for it. So with the 3v3 now established and both sides not wanting to go to rocks. Bob’s side attempted a 3-2-1 vote by getting Aidan to throw a vote somewhere else. Which they managed to do, as Nick and Ben voted Bob, while Aidan got paranoid and voted Nick. The other three however, thought it would be most fitting to blindside Ben. Only issue was, Ben read the trio during Tribal and played his idol for himself. Negating his three votes and causing Bob to go home in one of the most memorable and iconic Tribal Councils in Essential Survivor history.
