Brayden

Brayden is the Sole Survivor of *Terravivor: Natus Island*.

Brayden was a loyal member of the majority alliance on Avellatur- The Elites. Although he was well liked by the tribe, his constant addition of members to The Elites made his tribemates question his gameplay. Although he went into the merge in numbers, through the use of advantages and bluffs by the Inriguum alliance, his allies whittled down each tribal, but he kept his relationships strong as his allies went home. Although his game was seemingly over when Alco won the Final Immunity Challenge, he was saved by Christian's strikeout. In the end, Brayden's strong social game with the Avellatur members of the jury gave him 4 votes and the win.

## Game History

### Natus Island

Brayden started his game on the Avellatur tribe. Immediately, Brayden started to form bonds with his tribemates, especially with Caleb, Maddie, Evan, and Kiki. Early on, Brayden worked with Caleb and Maddie as he formed the original form of the Elites, and made another which would come to include every tribemate he worked with, including Evan, Kiki, Alejandro, and Flip. His constant adding of people to alliances worried his allies, especially Maddie, and feared his blind acceptance would let someone gain intel. However, Brayden made sure to stay behind Caleb as the strategic player of the alliance, keeping himself from being a target. After losing Lock and Jax, Brayden opted to bring in Alejandro, hoping to keep him as a number for his alliance. After Caleb went to Natus Island, Brayden assumed a temporary leadership of the Elites. Upon hearing of the mutiny, Alejandro asked his tribe to join him in a mutiny to create an early merge and reunite with Kiki and Caleb to squash the Inriguums. Although Brayden was tempted, Evan and Maddie reeled him back in and got him to stay on Avellatur. After Alejandro and Flip (who agreed silently to Alejandro's plan) left and Caleb rejoined them, Brayden grew nervous Kiki may have integrated with the Inriguum tribe.

Upon merging, the 4 Avellaturs looked to bring Kiki back into the fold, hoping she would remain loyal to the original alliance. Thankfully for them, Kiki hated being on the Inriguum tribe and immediately rejoined the Avellaturs, creating a 5-4 majority. Although Brayden was confident going into tribal, he was nervous when Caleb revealed he knew Alco had an idol. Attempting to play around it, they voted for Chicken, who they saw as Alco's closest ally. This backfired when Alco used his super idol on Chicken, and Caleb was voted out over Brayden. After this blindside, Brayden stepped up as the leader of the alliance, spearheading an attempt to get the Inriguum alliance destroyed. After Alejandro went on vacation and Kiki attempted to split the Inriguum votes by telling Chicken to vote Evan, the Avellaturs came out on top. After Alejandro played a vote steal on Maddie, Brayden attempted to get Alejandro to waste his votes on Evan, assuming Maddie was the target. Although initially ecstatic upon seeing votes for Evan, his hopes dimmed when Evan received two more votes. After losing two close allies and being left with Kiki and Maddie, Brayden tried to sway Alejandro to their side. This plan succeeded, and the new group of four planned to target Alco and Christian, the core of the Inriguum alliance. After Christian won immunity, the group felt solid on voting for Alco. A public idol clue, however, scared Brayden and Maddie when Alco claimed to have found it. He and Maddie went to Kiki and switched the vote onto Alejandro, hoping to save themselves. They planned to take out Alejandro and Alco, but flip against Kiki, fearing her middle-playing would garner respect from the jury. However, Brayden was blindsided when Maddie received 3 votes. Confused, Brayden assumed that Kiki stayed on Alco, but Alejandro voted for Maddie. After conferring with Kiki after the vote, Brayden was enraged to learn Kiki voted for Maddie, as he said Maddie was going to be loyal to the Elites, and Kiki betrayed her for no reason other than seeing her as a threat. Although their relationship was strained, they decided to stick together when Alco won immunity and Alejandro stuck out as the easiest vote. At this point, Brayden knew that his best chance to win was against Christian, and he likely stood a shot against Kiki, but felt hopeless against Alco. When Alco won immunity again, Brayden expected to be voted against by Alco and Christian, and decided to keep his word with Kiki and voted for Christian. He was surprised when Kiki received votes, but hoped she would win. In the end, Kiki lost the challenge, and Brayden felt he needed to win the Final Immunity Challenge. However, Alco went on to win, dismaying Brayden. Christian's inactivity caught up to him though, leading to his ejection and Brayden making Final Tribal Council. Brayden's game was supported for his loyalty and social game, as well as being the de facto leader of the Avellatur tribe, garnering 4 votes from his original tribemates and winning Natus Island.
