Neil

***Neil*** was a castaway on ***One Surv1vor: Australia***

## Australia

Neil started the game on the Tirari tribe, which he began his journey of chaos. Immediately, Neil began playing to the extreme and stirring chaos on his tribe. It didn't take long for Neil's tribe-mates to get fed up with him, and with his tribe on a losing streak, Neil's odds of surviving didn't seem likely. However, Neil was able to get by with a little luck when his tribe began losing members through quitting.

Though his tribe wanted him out and his tribe losing constantly, Neil was luckily able to make it to the swap on day 6. He remained on the Tirari tribe which became the new Tirari tribe. Like his original tribe, Neil's new tribe members did not see him fondly.

With Neil's tribe winning every challenge post-swap, his chances of making it to the merge were ever growing. Over time, Neil's place in the tribe only got more and more worse. He was playing very aggressively towards the other players in the game which rubbed almost everyone the wrong way.

On day 13, Neil and the rest of the final nine merged to form one tribe. Due to the rest of the tribe not liking Neil's suggestion for the merge tribe name, Neil saw this as an opposition against him, which prompted him to waste the entire stock of the merge tribe's rice by eating it all. The aftermath of this incident led to a new structuring of the distribution of rice, which only made his tribe even more annoyed with Neil.

Despite basically his entire tribe being against him, Neil secured safety by winning the first individual immunity challenge. The effect of Neil winning however, was that most of the tribe had to seek a new strategy for going into the first merge tribal council. This led to a division in the tribe and a battle between sides. Neil saw it more beneficial to take out Leftie, along with Dat. However, Leftie's side saw the right move as to take out Pepper. This divide led to mass chaos amongst the tribe, but in the end, Neil's side decided to take the easy route and vote Pepper out unanimously.

After all the controversy surrounding Neil in the last round, immunity was a must for him. However, Neil decided to not compete in order to receive rice, which made it seem as though Neil's chances of making it any further were very slim. When Tucker won the immunity challenge, a lot of the tribe first believed the right move was to take the easy path and vote out Neil, but a glimmer of hope had shone for Neil when Cora and Tucker shifted gears in an attempt to eliminate a long term threat in Trevor.

When it came time for someone to go, the vote ended in a tie after Neil forgot to vote and received a self vote, leaving the vote 4-4. However, Neil and Trevor's fate were finally decided in the revote as Trevor was voted out and Neil survived just barely yet again.

At the next immunity challenge, Neil saw the benefit in working with his allies to make sure one of them won, but more-so that Leftie lost. And this strategy worked, especially for Neil in that he won. Neil was adamant on finally taking out Leftie, and unfortunately for Leftie, Neil got his way yet again and she was voted out.

With only six people left in the game, Neil's allies began considering the idea of finally getting rid of him, especially since he'd proven to be a dominating force in the challenges. And when Tucker won the next immunity challenge, the likelihood of Neil going became even more likely. Neil did his best to convince everyone to finish of the original trio by voting out JT, but alas Neil's luck finally caught up with him and he was voted out in a unanimous **5**-1 vote. Neil became the fourth member of the jury.
