Kaiden - Twistvivor: Allstars

**Kaiden** is the Twisted Survivor of *Twistvivor: Allstars*.

Coming into this season having finished in the premerge twice before, Kaiden had a lot to prove in this iconic season. This season tested Kaiden's limits for the entirety of the game, as he kept losing allies and being left out of vote plans. However, being seen as the ultimate underdog and jury favorite, Kaiden was awarded the win in a 12-1 jury vote over JC, the winner of *Twistvivor: Go Big or Go Home*.

## Season Overview

Despite Kaiden's two premerge finishes before this season, he was seen as fit for once last shot at Twistvivor to try and redeem himself and make the merge. He came into the game with only that one goal: to make the merge, as well as to try and fix his mistakes from his past two seasons. After Tamara's vote out in the first cycle, Kaiden was put in the Orbit world on the Mut tribe. He reunited with Frey, whom he was aligned with in *Second Chances*, but unbeknownst to him, he and Frey would be considered outcasts to the rest of the tribe. Mut proved to be successful in challenges, but when they went to their first tribal council, Frey tried to pit everyone against Snowy. Kaiden followed in this plan, but was blindsided when everyone else's votes went on Frey, taking him out. Feeling alone and helpless on the tribe, Kaiden decided to try and improve his social game by aligning with Dom and trying to mend bonds with the rest of the tribe. Dom and Kaiden proved to be a successful duo, as at Mut's next tribal council, they both desperately voted out JC by stealing votes and using extra votes.

After JC's boot, the world merge took place, and Mut combined with Leistung. Kaiden found a new ally in Lansie, who both shared a common trait: they both felt they were on the bottom of the tribe. These two, along with Dom, formed an underdogs trio. However, they did not find success in starting on a good foot at the first merge tribal council. To Kaiden's detriment, JC returned to the game due to a twist, and Dexter, an original Mut member, was voted out. Then, what seemed like an even worse situation, Kaiden lost his ability to vote from the Final 20 all the way to the Final 9. Despite this negative twist, Kaiden forced himself to work socially to put himself in a better position on Orbit and to be a part of the big moves that were taking place. At the Final 15, Kaiden decided that, despite his inability to vote, he was going to make a move against Emmy to put something on his resume. Seeing Emmy as a strategical threat, Kaiden gathered just enough votes against her to vote her out by a one-vote majority, 4-3-2.

For the first time in his Twistvivor career, Kaiden made the merge on Entschlossenheit, being the only person on the fourteen-person tribe to do so. He quickly bonded with people such as Jay and Austin to try and integrate himself socially into the other world, but at the first merge cycle's tribal council, Jay was taken out of the game. Things got even worse for Kaiden as well, as at the triple elimination, Phoenix, JC, and Plaus split their votes between him and Dom 2-2, forcing a tie between them. Dom had found an idol beforehand, but Kaiden did not want to get voted out by putting an instant target on his back by getting the idol from Dom, so they decided to give the idol to Austin for safety reasons. Dom was taken out unanimously on the revote, leaving Kaiden with only one good ally in Lansie. At this point, Kaiden tried to retrieve the idol from Austin, but Austin was not budging, which started a rough rivalry between the two of them. To make matters worse, Kaiden's alliance with Lansie was swiftly taken away though, as at the Final 10 double elimination, Lansie was voted out along with Taco. Feeling as if everything was continuing to go against Kaiden in his game, he forced himself to get into a majority alliance to take out some big threats to try and boost his game. His first move was to take out Vee, who had been throwing his name out. Convincing the majority of the tribe, Kaiden was able to take out his name-thrower in Vee. In Vee's final words, he warned Kaiden and Phoenix to work together in order to solidify themselves more in the game. Phoenix and Kaiden decided to mend their bonds that they had tarnished throughout the game, which led them to becoming an underdog duo. Wanting to continue in his pursuit towards greatness, Kaiden created a plan to vote out Plaus, one that would guarantee a big threat went home no matter if an idol was played. Even though players like Austin made this difficult, the plan worked out in the end, and Plaus was voted out 3-1-0. This is where Kaiden's strategical run ended, as his vote against Austin was negated at the Final 5, and JC took out Austin at the Final 4 in firemaking. However, just when he needed it most, Kaiden won the final immunity challenge of the season, guaranteeing his spot in the Final Tribal Council. JC won against Phoenix in firemaking though, which meant that Kaiden had to face the previous season's winner in the Final Tribal Council.

Kaiden presented his game to the jury honestly, talking about how he was always on the bottom, yet did not let that stop him from making big moves against people like Emmy and Vee. Even though his game was not dominating, the one quality that set Kaiden's game above JC the most is the fact that Kaiden had taken out JC in the premerge over on Mut. The jury recognized Kaiden's perseverance and heroic underdog game, which prompted them to grant him the win in a 12-1 vote.
