Elizabeth Tzagournis

Elizabeth Tzagournis was the 13th place contestant from Survivor: Time & Change - Buckeye Battles.

Elizabeth is best known for her alliance with Will Wahl, Jake Henson and Max Gentile on the original Merah tribe. Elizabeth found herself on the right side of the numbers for the early votes in a seemingly weaker Merah tribe and never was at any risk of going home during the early weeks of the game. She also had a secret cross-tribal alliance with Tyler Allen, of which never came to fruition as they were never on the same tribe together.

At the swap, Elizabeth ended up on a tribe with Max and another former Merah in Lisa Hamant against three former Kelabu girls in Muriel Ossip, Allie Donohue and Kelsey McCaffrey. After the Kelabu girls vowed to stay loyal to one another, they managed to flip Lisa against Merah and labeled Elizabeth as their primary target off of suspicion of her relationship with Tyler and an (incorrect) suspicion that she was also aligned with Vinny Bonta (as they attended high school together).

Elizabeth was voted off at the fourth tribal council of the season, leaving Max alone, having been betrayed by Lisa, against the remainder of the Kelabu girls.

## Biography

Throughout my life I have sought adventure in all I do and pursue. Traveling is my favorite pastime because it involves all of my favorite things: meeting new people, exploring new places and learning new things (also trying new food!). I spent the past spring studying abroad in Barcelona while simultaneously traveling throughout Europe. My other passion is film/TV production, which is the field I plan to work in post-OSU. The past few months I had the opportunity to work on a few feature films as well as a Netflix Comedy Special. All these experiences have shaped me into who I am today!
