**ELK** is a contestant from *Survivor: Dear Evan Hansen*.

## Dear Evan Hansen

At the beginning of the game the 20 castaways were sorted into 2 different tribes, the Evan Tribe and the Connor tribe. Elk was placed on the Evan Tribe with Alex, Anna, Apollo, Brandon, Cashout, Curly, JessTV, Taylor, and Theo. This first challenge was a scavenger hunt. Each tribe was given an item every half hour (at:00 and:30). Before the challenge got underway, it was announced that both tribes would be going to tribal council. Elk was not able to get any points during this challenge meaning that they did not earn individual immunity for the upcoming tribal council. Going into tribal it was very clear who the vote was going to be. With a 9-1 vote Theo was sent home being the first member from the tribe eliminated. For the next challenge, each tribe mate had to complete three different types of puzzles; a match game, a sliding puzzle, and a jigsaw puzzle. The tribe who has the fastest average time will win immunity. Elk finished this challenge in 25:42. With an average time of 31:37 the Evan Tribe beat the Connor Tribe’s time of 33:50 winning immunity and not having to go to tribal council.

For the 3rd challenge “For Forever” each tribe mate had to watch a video from a famous YouTuber and voice teacher Hannah Bayles as she listens to the YouTube videos of the 4 Evans singing For Forever in 4-part harmony. They had to answer 10 questions on the video. The tribe that got the most correct answers would win. If there is a tie then it would be broken by average time. Due to having an extra tribe member the Evan Tribe had to sit out 1 person. The Evan Tribe decided to have JessTV sit out. Elk completed this challenge with an 8/10 and a time of 6:05. With a score of 53/80, the Evan Tribe was not able to beat the Connor Tribe’s score of 67/80 meaning they are headed to tribal council. Before tribal council Elk was a little worried that it might be him leaving. As the votes were read Alex was voted out with a vote of 7(Alex)-2(Anna)-1(JessTV, Theo’s Suspension Vote). For the 4th challenge “Sincerely, Me”, the castaways were asked to complete a connections game. There are 5 rounds and 4 groups in each round. The only tricky thing is that they won’t find out if they are correct until the results are announced. You earn credit for each group that is 100% correct. Each grid is worth 4 points meaning the maximum amount of points that can be earned is 20. The tribe with the best score will win immunity. Time is only taken into account as a tiebreaker. Elk completed this challenge in 8:45 with a score of 15/20. With an average score of 105/160, the Evan Tribe beat out the Connor Tribe’s score of 80/160 meaning they were safe from the upcoming tribal council.

After Archie was voted out it was announced that the Evan and Connor Tribes would be no more and that there would now be three tribes, Connor 2.0, Jared., and Alana. The Alana would be Bridgette, Brandon, Danny, Apollo, and Jae. The Jared tribe would be JessTV, Cashout, Jess, Hayden, and Curly. This means the Connor 2.0 tribe would be Anna, Elk, Maddison, Nicko, and Taylor. After the tribal expansion from two tribes to three tribes it was announced that all tribes would attend tribal council meaning that each tribe would have an individual immunity idol that one member would win from each tribe. For the 5th immunity challenge “Requiem” the castaways were given 6 riddles to complete. The riddles will help you get a code to help you escape the challenge. The player with the fastest time from each tribe will win immunity. Elk finished this challenge in 2:01. Unfortunately this was not quick enough to gain him individual immunity. Based on the results of the challenge Jared will take 1st tribal meaning whoever gets voted out will get 15th place, Alana will get 2nd tribal meaning whoever gets voted out will get 14th place, and Connor 2.0 will be last tribal and the person voted out will get 13th place. With Anna pushing hard to get Elk out for this tribal it was pretty clear that Elk was going to be eliminated at this tribal council. When the votes were read Elk was voted out with a vote of 4(Elk)-1(Anna). Before leaving the game as a part of the ongoing Suspension Twist Elk got to cast one extra vote before he left. He cast his Suspension Vote for Maddison which will be revealed the next time they attend tribal council.
