***Lucifer*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Brazil. He later competed on Essential Survivor: All-Stars

## Brazil

Lucifer, the Day 1 social pariah. Being the social pariah from Day 1 to Day 30 really is a testament of how good Lucifer is at the game. Only for him to get screwed over by someone barely in the game.

Lucifer got the short end of the social stick in the beginning of the game. He was late to the party when the tribes went back to camp, so like any other person, he tried making bonds with people. But in the eyes of Winter, he seemed to be a sketchy guy. So Winter’s false accusation became common news around camp, and Lucifer was immediately isolated. But luckily, Tae was in the majority alliance and saved Lucifer from being the target. And on top of that, Lucifer found a Hidden Immunity Idol rather quickly, so we went from zero to hero in quick succession.

As some time passed after he found the idol, he decided to tell his alliance of Adam, Brandon, and Tae about it. Minutes after he regretted it, noticing that with that info, they could blindside him easily. Regardless, moving into the first Samba Tribal Council, due to Tae having his back. Lucifer was out of the question and Winter was easily sent home in a 6-2 vote. Now fast forwarding to the Joint Tribal Council, this is where Lucifer began to show his strategic prowess.

When the tribes have marooned at the beach for the Tribal Council, it became common ground to everyone that Gavin was gonna be voted out due to his visible lack of interest in the game. But after noticing Tae’s power position in the game, he utilized his relationships with the Janeiro tribe and some of the Samba tribe to lead a charge against Tae. And if Gavin didn’t get medevaced the following night, Tae would’ve gone home with 7 votes. But even with Gavin’s sudden removal the lines are Samba were now drawn more clearer. With there being a 4-4 split.

At the next Samba loss, Lucifer rallied his four allies to vote Tae. At more point around 10 minutes before Tribal, his allies flipped and the votes were scattered due to false info being spread, but Lucifer managed to regroup everyone, managing to send Tae home by a vote of 4-3.

At the merge, Lucifer stayed on the Samba side for the first vote. But by the end of the merge episode, he found himself voting for Kim instead of the OG Plan to vote for Paul. In the next episode, he flipped over to the Janeiro side, despite being down in numbers. He used his intuition and played his idol for Payton that night, saving him and planning the Kim blindside. At the F10, Lucifer won immunity, but he flipped on Payton and voted him out with Samba. At F9, Lucifer won again, but it didn’t matter because Jerry got DQed, at the F8, Lucifer finally lost Immunity. So the Samba alliance took advantage and voted him out 5-3.

## All-Stars

From first glance, it seemed like having Jayden, Lucifer, and Ben all on one tribe would be a dream come true due to all of their previous erratic gameplay. But unfortunately, one of them, i.e Lucifer, was cut early, and for the short time he was there, it was like watching a whole new person play.

From his last season in Brazil, Lucifer came into All-Stars knowing that he’d have to step up his social game if he wanted to go far. Meanwhile, his tribe looked at him like the trademark ‘inactive’, and planned his demise fairly early. However, when Nicobar did lose, Lucifer began to spread information that Josiah was planning to split the vote between Aidan and Ben, which they actually believed, causing all sorts of havoc in the tribe. But after the dust settled, the tribe agreed that there’s no way that Lucifer staying would help anyone, so they voted him out 9-1.
