Alpen Sawn

***Alpen*** was a castaway on ***One Surv1vor: Tahiti*** and later on ***One Surv1vor: All-Stars***

## Tahiti

Alpen was placed on the Atehuru tribe on day 1. Going into the game, Alpen quickly began to fade into the background of his tribe. He wasn't on anyone's radar, but wasn't exactly anyone's close ally. However, after he proved himself to the tribe in the first immunity challenge, he was roped into a "valued tribe members" alliance by Slim. As well, after gaining some trust with Calvin and growing closer trust wise, Calvin included Alpen in his counter alliance with Gavin and Kae. This gave Alpen some solid foundation within the tribe.

After losing the next immunity challenge, along with his allies of Calvin, Gavin, and Kae, Alpen had his sights set on taking Slim out. However, after Slim found out Alpen was coming after him, Slim pushed for his allies to vote for Alpen.

At tribal council, Slim wasn't going down without a fight, but it didn't matter as he was voted out in a **4-2-1** vote,with Alpen making it out with only one vote against him.

With losing another immunity challenge, Alpen and his tribe were set to have to vote out yet another member of their tribe. BK, being closely associated to Slim, became their next priority target. However, BK saw Bazz as the biggest liability and thought he should be the one to go.

At tribal council, like Slim, BK knew the majority was against him and wasn't going out quietly. So much so, that he refused to vote which led him to receiving a self-vote, basically ensuring that Alpen and his allie's plan would come together. And when the votes were read, it all came to be as BK was voted out unanimously **6-0**.

Unfortunately for Alpen, his tribe's losing streak had continued once more. However, it seemed Alpen would not have much to worry about as yet another simple vote seemed to be in order, this time with Bazz being the core four's main target.

At tribal council, despite receiving another vote, Alpen's place in the tribe kept him safe as he and his alliance voted Bazz out in a **4-1** vote.

On day 14 the two tribes merged to form the new Atehara tribe. Even though Alpen was able to make it to a milestone part of the game, it almost seemed as if he would be in trouble being his tribe was at a 5-4 minority. However, after he and his tribe were approached by Cain with a plan to take Beau out, things appeared to be turning around in his favour.

At the auction, Alpen bid all his money on covered item 1. However, so did Savanna and the two of them would have to go to rocks to determine who won the item. Luckily for Alpen, he drew the right rock and won pizza. This would give him a big boost in the next immunity challenge. However, not all outcomes were ideal, as Alpen's ally Kae lost her vote for the next tribal council in the auction.

Despite having an energy boost from the pizza, Alpen came up just short and lost the challenge to Savanna. Although Atehuru and Cain planned on taking out Beau, with Kae losing her vote in the auction, they had to switch things up. With Papara planning to vote for Gavin, Cain stuck with his tribe and sided with them. However, not wanting to vote his ally, Alpen was set on voting someone else.

At tribal council, Atehuru took another hit as their ally Gavin was voted out in a **6-1-1**. Leaving Alpen and his ally Kae on the wrong side of the vote.

With Alex winning the next immunity challenge, the game was on as everyone was scrambling for a plan for the vote. Fortunately for Alpen and the other Atehuru members, Cain and Melody were willing to flip on Papara to take out Beau. However, Papara was still pushing to make sure an Atehuru tribe member would got out.

At tribal council, things turned around for Alpen and the rest of Atehuru as they were able to finally overcome and take out a Papara member with the help of flippers Cain and Melody. Leading to Beau being vote out **5-3** to his not-so surprise as Calvin told him he was being voted out beforehand.

After winning the next immunity challenge, Alpen was able to claim his spot in the final 6. Believing that Cain and Melody were now with them, Alpen and core trio had their sights on taking out Alex. However, unbeknownst to them, Cain and Melody were considering flipping back to take out a big threat in Calvin.

At tribal council, Alpen and his allies were left on the outside of the numbers as his close ally Calvin was voted out in a close **4-3** split vote. Leaving everyone, and the game, in a whole new territory.

With winning his second immunity challenge in a row, Alpen claimed a guaranteed spot in the final 5. Despite being on the outs of the last vote, things didn't seem completely lost for Alpen and his ally Kae. Cain had approached them both with a plan to take out Melody and with little hesitation, they were on board. The only problem was, Melody herself was actively set on taking Kae out and was trying to gather numbers to do so.

At tribal council, Melody warned everyone it was a mistake for them to allow Alpen and Kae to move forward togwther, but much to Alpen and Kae's pleasing, it was Melody who was voted out unanimously **5-1**.

At the final 5, it was clear that the tribe was divided between two alliances and Cain in the middle. With Savanna winning immunity, this left Alex as the main target for Alpen and Kae. However, Alex and Savanna were set on attempting to take out the challenge threat of Alpen.

At tribal council, Cain chose to side with Alpen and Kae, giving them the majority to vote Alex out in a **3-2** vote. Leaving Savanna on the bottom, and Alpen and Kae at the top.

Alpen was able to win his third individual immunity challenge and locked in his spot in the final 3. Wanting Savanna out, Alpen knew he had the majority on his side as he knew if Cain didn't vote with him and Kae, that he'd be the one automatically eliminated. Despite this, Savanna worked and did her best to rebel against the majority in an attempt to take Kae out.

At tribal council, Alpen and Kae got their way as Cain sided with them and voted out Savanna in a **3-1** vote.

With the final 3, the game was quickly coming to a close and they had a few more things to do before it came to an end. Alpen and Cain competed in a reward challenge for an advantage in the final immunity challenge. Kae on the other hand, could not compete due to a medical emergency. Despite not doing too well in the beginning, Alpen was able to overcome and Catch up to Cain, eventually beating him out and winning reward.

On their way to the final immunity challenge, the final 3 first paid their respects to their fallen castaways. At the final immunity challenge, Alpen had an advantage that allowed him to restart if he let go. However, after only a little bit during the challenge, he already had to use it. Even after a lot of hard work and holding on for hours, he ended up letting go and lost the challenge to Cain, forcing him to have to face his ally Kae in fire-making.

At tribal council, Alpen went toe-to-toe with his long time ally Kae in fire-making. With his more vast skill set when it came to making fire, Alpen was able to make fire before Kae, eliminating her from the game.

At the final tribal council, Alpen did his best to plead his case and convince the jury he was the more deserving player to win. However, he ended up being one vote short as Cain beat him in a final **4-3** vote. Making him the runner-up of the season.
