Alexander Griffin

**Alexander Griffin** was a contestant from EXILED 4.

Alexander will go down in Exiled History as one of the most controversial contestants to ever compete on the show. Starting off, walking into the competition, Alexander came with a goal, and a purpose. He wanted to create a better life for himself, and also pay off the hospital bills of his mother, and for the most part, Alexander's position in the game in the first 2-3 weeks were pretty steady, within the first few rounds, he had made close friendships with contestants like Maddison Wellington, Holland McDonald, and partners Peter Verter, and Blake Trailman. not receiving votes for the first three rounds, it did look well for Alexander... until things hit the fan for Alexander, during his initial run, Alexander was also someone who was incredibly hard on himself, and would often blame himself for things happening, or would get hard on himself for not doing anything to remedy or diffuse situations that occurred, and would take it out on himself, one day at the Gazebo around the 2nd/3rd round of the competition, Alexander incidentally would have taken his stress out on himself inflicting pain on himself, and it was in front of former best friend Maddison Wellington, traumatizing her because of it.

Alexander's relationships with people in the competition suffered greatly because of this and come the 4th round of the competition, both him and partner Blake Trailman were voted in as the majority vote nominee, and also the challenge winner nominee to face the elimination challenge, where they both had to face opponents Luke Sweeney, and Mariella Carideo, where Alexander eventfully had lost the elimination challenge, initially eliminating him in 20th place.

Although, that was not the end of Alexander's journey on the season, after Armageddon week, the eliminated contestants had the chance to come back to the competition, with 2 coming back, while Karma Ryvnge won his way back through a fan vote, Alexander triumphantly managed to win his way back into the competition, through winning a buyback challenge, and a second chance at winning the competition, wanting to prove his growth throughout the time he was away from the competitive environment and his mental health getting better.. Unfortunately for him, the reception to his return was anything but warm, as the people he once had as friends with the exception of a couple of competitors, such as Blake Trailman, Ndidi Jibrinand, Peter Verter, gave him a warm reception, in contrast to contestants like, Pluto Osborne, Antoinette Reese, and Maddison Wellington showing either discomfort or distaste to his return, questioning if he really did get better.

Alexander's run after his return wasn't super rocky, managing to win 2 more challenges along the way, he avoided getting Exiled, facing the elimination challenge again until the game hit the Top 8, where he had to face Ndidi Jibrin in the elimination challenge, where he beat her, making it to the Final 7, where he got to face the jury. Unfortunately, considering everything that has happened, Alexander's actions, and his general self-deprecating attitude towards not only his stance in the game, but also himself, did anything but earn the respect of the jury, because of this he received the least amount of points from the Jury, causing him to be the last elimination of the season, just missing out on taking part in the finale of the season, ending his journey officially on Season 4.
