Ellis is a contestant from *Survivor: New Zealand* and *Survivor: Island of the Idols*.

## Survivor: New Zealand

Ellis originally competed on *Survivor: New Zealand* as part of the blue Tapu tribe. At the first immunity challenge, the tribe lost and Ellis voted alone for Jayne but Taylor was sent home. The tribe then made the decision to send home Jayne. However, Corin gossiped about this to the rest of the tribe, with Jayne convincing everyone else to vote out Corin. At tribal, Ellis was unaware of this and voted for Jayne instead. The tribe then went on an immunity streak and won the next two challenges.

At this point, Ellis made the tribe switch and stayed on Tapu along with original members Russell and Lateysha. Since the former-Mana members had an alliance on Tapu, the Tapu members were forced to follow their every command. This angered Ellis and he soon confronted their leader, Natalie about this. When the tribe lost their first immunity challenge, Natalie convinced her Minions Alliance to send Ellis home. She also managed to flip Lateysha and Russell, who feared they would be the next target if they did not follow. At tribal, Ellis was unanimously voted out by the tribe after 11 days.

## Survivor: Island of the Idols

Ellis then returned for *Survivor: Island of the Idols* originally on the purple Vokai tribe. Ellis became a popular member of his tribe for being a charming, physical asset. As smaller alliances began forming, Ellis decided to join forces with Old School players Bethany, Leo and Penny because he believed they would be targeted before him if the alliance was to ever crumble. After two immunity challenge wins, Vokai lost on Day 9. The Old Schoolers eliminated Kameron at tribal council due to his previous reputation as an untrustworthy flipper. Ellis was then sent to the Island of the Idols by Lairo after his tribe lost their second immunity challenge, where he met *Survivor: The Australian Outback* legend Dion. Due to his notoriety as an idol finder and with their combined physical strength, Ellis was hopeful that Dion could help him find an idol. Unfortunately, this was not the case. At Vokai's second tribal council, Ellis voted with the Old Schoolers and Henry to eliminate villainess, Flick.

At the tribe switch, Ellis remained on Vokai along with Bethany, Dre and Penny. Ellis' alliance only extended when Emma and Jaclyn joined forces with them. After losing the immunity challenge, the Old Schoolers wanted to get rid of Tatianna but felt that she was more likely than Fabian to have an idol. At tribal, Fabian played his own idol for Tatianna who he felt was the primary target but Ellis and his allies eliminated Fabian. With the idol now flushed, Vokai lost immunity again and Tatianna was voted out. Ellis thought now would be the perfect time to get rid of Dre because of her connection to Ika, Sasha and William. He spoke to the Old Schoolers and was able to convince them to throw the next immunity challenge in order to get rid of Dre. After losing three consecutive immunity challenges, Vokai only consisted of the Old School alliance but they lost again and were forced to turn on each other. Ellis was originally under the impression that he, Bethany and Penny would vote for Jaclyn as an original Lairo member but the vote soon changed to Penny. However, both of these plans were a facade because the Old School Women were closer than Ellis originally thought and he became the first member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for Bethany to win the title of Sole Survivor.
