Blake Trailman

**Blake Trailman** was a contestant from EXILED 4.

Known as the great, and famous Hell Burner, Blake was a very energetic, and fiery personality on the show, going in, guns blazing and ready to play. Starting off in the competition, despite not making much of a sour impression on the other contestants, Blake started off in a pretty rough position, through initially not being chosen by any of the first challenge winner(s) to be parters with, he was by default placed on a team with Taliesin Craw who at the time was not a very active member of the house, which when the second round of the competition came, caused Taliesin to become a target due to sheer inactivity, dragging Blake in by sheer association, Blake managed to triumphantly save himself from being eliminated by surviving the elimination challenge, sending his first partner home the second round, then the following round getting a new partner in the second re-coupling in Alexander Griffin, despite being one of the 3 winners of the Superhero/Villain challenge, Blake once again the following round was dragged into Exile due to sheer association, because of the events that had occurred with his partner, Alexander, once again having to face the elimination challenge, and came back even stronger.

After facing his second elimination challenge in 4 weeks being there, Blake's status in the competition had changed significantly, integrating himself incredibly well in the house, making it through a huge majority of the game without getting another vote to be Exiled, it seemed like all danger Blake was in, in the competition kind of vanished as soon as his 2nd elimination challenge was finished. Towards the later half of the game, Blake was never considered a target, and would even start winning challenges too along the way, winning a total of 3 immunity challenges total. Blake throughout the game made very close, and special bonds with a multitude of his competitors, He is most notably known for his unlikely but unbreakable bond with Antoinette Reese, his friendships with Alexander Griffin, Maddison Wellington, Pluto Osborne, Oscar Montgomery, and Holland McDonald. Needless to say, the social game of Blake, and his ability to save himself from danger, with his challenge ability, and allies, were very evident, and his capabilities catapulted him into the Final 7, where he got to plead his case to the jury of 15!

During the Jury Phase, Blake excelled, managing to impress the jury with his natural charm, and likability, Blake managed to successfully sway the jury enough to advance, being given the most points by the jury, and being the first to advance to the finale of the show, It was clear that the Jury was cheering Blake on.. Come the Finale, when it was time to partner up, not a stint of hesitation came to Blake to run immediately to best friend Antoinette Reese to partner up with for the finale. Eventfully, Blake and Antoinette, despite it being a very tight battle between them and winner's Frederica, and Vikram, just fell short of winning the entire thing, leaving both of them being the joint Runner's Up of the season, placing Blake in 4th overall.
