Adam was a contestant on Trevivor Season 1: The Nine Realms and Season 5: Tomb of Osiris, while also serving as a host on Season 2: Hades' Fury, Season 3: Camelot's Last Stand and Season 4: Wukong's Wrath. In S1, he was the early frontrunner, finding an idol almost immediately and controlling much of the premerge. However, by the time the merge hit his perceived threat level had grown massively, and he was flipped on at the F12 as the clear biggest threat in the game.

## Trevor's Cast Assessment

*Adam seems like a real cool dude, he was **super** active in the preseason spec lounge, and he genuinely seems very excited for this which I appreciate. He’s a newbie to ORGs, however he said he’s done some survivor-like things over zoom calls with his friends. He seems real excited to be here although I can’t just help but feel like he might overanalyze some things or get paranoid at times, of course this isn’t necessarily a non winning formula. He seems like he’ll do well socially among the others, he’s a real likable dude.*

## The Nine Realms

Sorted onto the Midgard tribe, Adam got off to a blazing fast start, finding his tribe's idol about an hour into the game. He also quickly bonded with multiple tribemates, most notably Tyler, who felt Adam could be his ride or die in the game. He also connected off the bat with Kristine, continuing their relationship from the pre-game spec lounge, and found common ground with Logan and Sarah as they were all teachers. After Logan told Adam and Tyler about the Safety Without Power advantage he found, the three of them and Kristine formed the ALLT-F4 alliance, and Adam told Kristine about Logan's SWP, which made Kristine a bit suspicious of Logan and Tyler for not telling her themselves. Adam kept his own advantage secret, and soon found himself in a second alliance when Aidan formed Fantasy Footballers with the two of them and Tyler, putting Adam and Tyler at the top of the tribe.

Midgard lost the first challenge by the narrowest of margins, sending them to tribal council. Adam and Tyler soon found themselves in two more alliances, as Shannon formed We Are Bad With Names with the three of them plus Aidan and Logan, and Saish formed Adam's Angels with himself, Adam, Tyler and Sarah. The two left out of all this were Jack and Shray, with those two standing as the options for the boot. After Jack came to Adam and expressed personally that he really wanted to work with him and would be grateful if he was saved, that combined with Shray rubbing Tyler the wrong way (and most people not caring one way or the other) led to the vote being pushed onto Shray, who was eliminated 9-1.

In the second challenge, the live battle of Hnefatafl, Adam took the lead for Midgard, using his love for spreadsheets and formulas to devise a strategy. It worked, as they won the challenge, which meant Adam was able to relax before the F18 swap, which sent him to Vanaheim with Tyler and Jack from Midgard, and Colin, Griff and Pyro from Nidavellir. Colin came running to Adam and Tyler as soon as the swap hit, as he felt that he had been on the bottom of Nidavellir and wanted to flip no questions asked. This led to the creation of the Sons of Dr. Phil alliance with the three of them, while The Vanaheim Midgardians also formed with Adam, Tyler and Jack, as Adam looked to solidify his position in the tribe.

Ahead of the 24 hour scavenger hunt, Vanaheim had to sit someone out, sending them to Hel for the duration of the challenge. While Colin wanted to sit out, Griff pushed the rest of the tribe to instead send Pyro, which ruffled feathers. In the challenge itself Adam continued his string of strong challenge performances by dominating early and pushing Vanaheim into the lead, but as soon as he went to bed they started to lose ground. During the challenge, the Adam and Tyler conspired and decided that they would try and get a 3-2-1 vote should they go to tribal, telling Jack to vote for Griff while they and Colin vote for Pyro to try and flush any advantage she might win while in Hel. As part of this plan, Tyler instigated a verbal fight with Griff in the arena chat during the challenge, to try and play up tension between them. In the end, Vanaheim lost the challenge, and after Pyro returned from Hel they faced tribal.

Unfortunately for the Sons of Dr. Phil, their 3-2-1 plan was immediately foiled as Colin got confused and ended up telling Jack that the real plan was to vote for Pyro, as he assumed Jack was in on it, and Jack told this to Griff and Pyro To try and save things, Tyler made both the Fire Four alliance with Adam, Colin and Jack, as well as the Animal Control alliance with Adam, Griff and Pyro, and proceeded to try and throw Griff and Jack under the bus to each other. Despite that, Griff and Jack still voted together with Pyro, causing a 3-3 tie with the votes on Pyro and Colin. While Jack immediately locked in his revote for Colin, Adam and Tyler waited and listened as Pyro made a pitch that she and Griff were not a tight duo, and that she'd be willing to vote him out next if they saved her. While tempted, they did not want to betray Colin after he had worked with them on this vote, and once Griff came back online he ended up flipping on Pyro, eliminating her. On her way out, she revealed that she had found the Nidavellir idol (true), and that she had transferred it to Jack (not true), in an attempt to help him. This lie was believed by everyone.

After the tribal, Jack went to Adam and told him he did indeed have the idol, which worried him, but Vanaheim ended up not having to face tribal again. After Saish's quit at F17, Adam then helped Vanaheim secure safety in the Puzzle Gauntlet by beating Aidan and Shannon on the Nonogram puzzle. The Sons of Dr. Phil were both comfortable in having majority but also worried about Jack's supposed idol, but made it to the F15 trust rankings swap without having to do anything about it. He had the third-highest trust rankings score in the game (behind Kristine and Tyler), sending him to Niflheim (AKA the "most trusted" tribe) with Tyler, Aidan, Mason, Logan, Dawson and Kamil. Quickly reuniting with his fellow OG Midgards, Adam's position in the majority was solidified when Mason made it quite clear that he wanted to stick with that group of four, happy to leave Dawson and Kamil on the bottom. Those other five formed the Anti Griff Federation, and the plan to split their votes between Dawson and Kamil should they go to tribal formed.

It was a good thing they had in place, because after losing the Guess Who challenge, Niflheim faced tribal council, and the votes proceeded as expected, despite Kamil making a late push to try and convince Mason and Aidan to vote for Tyler. The five in the majority had already VCed together and settled on the larger part of the split being on Kamil due to him clashing a bit with others more than Dawson, and also being the one taking the lead strategically of the two. He was voted out 3-2-2, and after tribal ended Kristine joined the tribal, coming in from Hel where she had spent the whole previous cycle. A quick turnaround on the next challenge followed, as Niflheim dominated Alfheim in the 99 Bottles challenge, and then it was time for the merge.

Adam came into the merge strategizing the most with Tyler, who he had spent the whole game with, and they saw Shannon, Jack and Sarah as the people who were "floaters", and thus potential targets for the next vote. Of those three, they preferred Shannon to be the boot, as she was the one they were least connected to. Griff, however, preferred a Sarah boot, and an alliance of Adam, Dawson, Griff, Kristine and Tyler formed with the ostensible goal of voting out Sarah and throwing a few votes on Jack as well to try and flush the idol everyone believed he had. In the midst of all this, Mason found the clue for the merge idol, but after being stuck on it for a while went to Tyler to ask for help. Tyler then immediately took it to Adam, who quickly found the idol, being told that he had to split it into two half idols. He gave the other half to Tyler, and neither of them told anyone else about this, giving Adam 1.5 idols.

Soon before the F13 challenge began, the rumblings of a move against Adam began to take shape, as the group of Kristine, Dawson, Aidan, Logan, Jmoney and Mason came together and as part of their discussion (first based on saving Sarah to use her as a number), agreed that Adam was the biggest threat in the game. However, Logan especially pushed the idea that it was a little too early to target him, and they agreed to go against Griff's idea for Sarah and looped back to Shannon being the merge boot. Adam was happy with that as it was his original plan, and Shannon was voted out 11-2, the large margin masking how many people were looking at Adam as someone who needed to go real soon.

After that tribal, Griff (the only person who hadn't voted Shannon), came to Adam, Tyler and Colin looking for options, and said that the best move would be to gun for the former Jotunheim members (in particular Jmoney), as there were still five of them in. While Colin found his overly bossy, Adam and Tyler felt that it would be best to try and please him in order to use him as a number. During this time, the beginnings of an Adam blindside were taking root, led by Aidan, Kristine and Dawson, who felt that his general likability combined with how he had commanded the premerge meant he had to go as soon as possible.

The F12 challenge was a noitcaeR gauntlet, and while Adam made it to the final round, and took a 3-1-1 lead over Logan and Griff, he let his lead slip away and lost the challenge 4-3-3 to Logan. This left Adam vulnerable, and the Coleslaw alliance (Kristine, Aidan, Dawson, Jmoney, Mason and Sarah) looked to pounce, with the plan for Kristine to transfer her temporary idol (found in Hel back at F15) to Jmoney, and allow him to idol out Adam while everyone else voted for him. However, Kristine did not realize that her idol had actually expired the previous tribal, and once Jmoney received this and realized this, some panic ensued as Aidan had to try and convince Logan to vote for Adam that tribal. As an extra precaution (since Mason and Jack both had lost their votes due to sacrificing them for immunity the previous round), Jmoney stole Griff's vote with his own advantage, and everything looked to be back in order until Sarah for some reason told Tyler that there was a plan to vote out Adam. But while Tyler told Adam this, reassurances from Kristine, Aidan and Logan was enough to convince him to not idol, and he was eliminated 7-3. On his way out he revealed that he had an idol, but kept the half idol secret, protecting Tyler who still had the other half.

## Season 1 Character Ranking

**9: Adam (12th place)**

*Adam was such an incredible character!!! He absolutely ran the premerge and seeing him just being such a genuinely nice and likable guy may sound basic, but it honestly made him very memorable and a big part of the season. He was a god at finding idols, as he notoriously got voted out with 1.5 idols, and seeing him just get so hardcorely blindsided provided for a big turning point, but also a genuinely sad vote out as Adam was insanely entertaining. I HATE seeing people dominate a season boringly, with that said though if Adam dominated this season I'd be fine with it, and I think that should speak levels on him and what kind of person he is.*
