Stephan

**Stephan** is a contestant from *Survivor: Borneo*.

## Survivor

In *Survivor: Borneo*, Stephan was a member of the Pagong tribe. On Day 2, Stephan and his tribe were able to win the inaugural Immunity Challenge, keeping him safe from Tribal Council. After the immunity win, Stephan bonded with Erika back at camp, strengthening a connection with one another. However, on Day 5 the Pagong tribe lost the second challenge of the season. Back at camp, Stephan solidified another connection with Camilla, proving to be an early social threat on the tribe. At Tribal Council, Stephan originally worked alongside Anne, Erika and Gabrielle to vote out Frank, perceiving him as a liability to the tribe. After the tie-vote, Stephan kept his vote the same, voting Frank out in the re-vote with the rest of the tribe.

On Day 8, the Pagong tribe was able to bounce back, winning the next immunity challenge and keeping themselves safe from going back to Tribal Council. Back at camp, Stephan joined the first Pagong alliance of the season, The Four, working with Gabrielle, Keinan and Erika. Despite winning the reward challenge on Day 10, the Pagong tribe lost immunity once again on Day 11. After the loss, Stephan and Anne had a disagreement with one another, leading Anne to push Stephan as a potential target for the vote. However, Stephan decided to stick with *The Four*, going along with Gabrielle's plan to target Camilla at Tribal Council. At Tribal Council, the alliance was successful, sending her home.

The Pagong tribe proceeded to win the next two Immunity Challenges, ensuring Stephan's safety to the merge. However, on Day 14 Stephan decided to leave *The Four* alliance, concerned about his placement in the group. After the tribe's second immunity win on Day 17, Stephan bonded with Anne back at camp, trying to rebuild a bridge with her after their fight on Day 11. After his conversation with Anne, Stephan connected with Viktor and then solidified a Final Two deal with Erika. On Day 19, the tribes merged, Stephan going into it with strong social connections from Pagong, particularly with Erika and Viktor, and a Pagong 6-4 majority. However, after the first Individual Immunity Challenge, Stephan's stance in the tribe declined, fighting with Julienne back at camp. Following his disagreement with Julienne, Stephan decided to target his former ally Keinan, feeling that they had distanced from one another in the game. However, after a conversation with Erika, Stephan was persuaded to vote with her and Keinan against Michael as Erika was against him. At Tribal Council, Stephan, Erika, Gabrielle and Keinan stuck together, voting for Michael. However, Anne and Viktor jumped ship, joining Tagi to vote out Keinan, sending him home.

After Keinan's elimination at Tribal Council, Erika won the next Individual Immunity. Back at camp, Julienne began targeting Stephan back at camp, feeling that he was a threat to her game after their fight together, working alongside Iskra and Michael to send him home. However, in an attempt to save himself, Stephan convinced Erika to target Michael. At Tribal Council, Stephan received 2 votes from Julienne & Seema, but was able to secure enough votes (thanks to Erika, Anne & Gabrielle) to eliminate Michael.

On Day 25, the castaways competed in the next Reward Challenge of the season, with Viktor winning and sharing the reward with Stephan. The pair won a barbecue feast and both got letters from home from their loved ones. After the Individual Immunity Challenge, Erika and Stephan had a fight with one another, their alliance falling apart afterwards. As a result of this fight, Erika and Seema decided to target Stephan, intending on sending him home at Tribal Council. At Tribal Council, Stephan cast his vote for Iskra, but was placed into a tie against Gabrielle. At the Re-vote, Seema, Erika, Julienne and Anne voted against Stephan, sending him home in a 4-2 vote, making him the ninth person voted out and the first member of the Jury.
