Aidan Bob

***Aidan*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Togo. He later returned for Essential Survivor: All-Stars.

## Togo

Aidan came into this game looking to prove himself. To prove that he wouldn’t just fade into the darkness and get dragged to the end like some other past alumni. Well certainly, Aidan accomplished his goal. And despite making it decently far into the game, I feel as if Aidan left the Tribal Council area with a completed goal.

Being put in the Kabre tribe, Aidan was eager to start playing. Much like most people, he wanted to make a good first impression for people. Using tactics like paying attention to what THEY say to help strengthen their bond. So by the end of the first two episodes, Aidan had felt like he connected with everyone on his ribe. Albeit some connections obviously being stronger than others. But in Episode 3, the majority alliance of Douglas, Aidan, Ben and Kalina had decided to vote Nick not because of his challenge performance, but his odd comments directed at the tribe. But being in Nick’s OG alliance, Ben and Aidan didn’t like that plan, which caused the trio to target Bob, while the others targeted Nick. Minutes before Tribal, the others planned a 3-2-1 vote, in which they were supposed to switch one of their votes off of Bob. Well that worked well because they got into Aidan’s head as he voted Nick, while the others voted Ben. But during Tribal, Ben didn’t feel good about his chances, prompting him to use his idol, kicking Bob out of the game instead of him.

At the swap, Aidan felt pretty indifferent about how he was set up. He had good connections with Brendan, but felt really iffy about Jack at the same time. He made a strong bond with Jay during this as well. But when the first post-swap Tribal came and Drew was booted, Aidan noticed Brendan and Jack acting as if they sided with Drew and Liz without telling him, putting more suspicion on the duo. What made it even worse for Brendan was when Aidan found out he was lying to Jay about him about the vote.

At the merge, despite Douglas quitting before we could even go to the first merged Council, the events before that were pretty centered around Aidan as well. Due to him doing well on the challenge and getting caught in a big lie about the vote because of Jay being naive. Due to all the altercations this made Aidan a prime target for the upcoming vote where the alliances were split 6-5. Well that soon turned into 5-5-1 as Aidan’s alliance excluded Jay from the plan as he leaked several bits of important info. But despite the vote going to rocks already, helping Aidan. Zach used his Steal-a-Vote on Gabe, helping their alliance and blindsiding Jack. But after an episode that didn’t have much Aidan in it, he was now included in a camp blowout that happened right after Brendan was voted out. Asier called out Aidan and Kalina due to being snakes, which Aidan disregarded immediately.

But if there’s one thing the blowout told Aidan, is that he felt as if Kalina was dragging him along yet again. Which is the eyes of pretty much everyone left playing… couldn’t be further from the truth. Fast forwarding to the Final Seven, Aidan began to worry as Kalina had won immunity and they were perceived as a duo. And Zach immediately ghosting him didn’t exactly help Aidan’s feelings either. But when Aidan had his torch snuffed, he felt satisfied with his performance as he gave it his all.

## All-Stars

During the pre-season for All-Stars, Aidan was rarely mentioned to be even considered for the cast. So when he got the call back, only one can assume he was excited to come back out and play again. But unlike S3, his boot here remains one of the most odd ones yet.

On the starting Nicobar tribe, Aidan wasn’t too excited to see Ben as they were never on too good of terms originally, but they eventually clicked with Zach, making a seasonal pact. Butthat alliance wasn’t the forefront of Aidan’s game at the moment, it was his constant firemaking. Due to an advantage Jacob got from firemaking, the tribe had begun to think Aidan found an advantage from all the fire he was making, when in reality, he wanted to just help the tribe. But regardless, when OG Nicobar had lost the challenge, it was common news that Lucifer would be the easy target.

Heading into the swap, Aidan wasn’t in a good spot. He was in the 5-3 minority with allies he barely trusted in Ben and Logic. But even though he was met with a different S3 brethren in Gabe, Aidan knew that it was looking like Kill or Be Killed, and it looked like Ben would’ve been killed if they had lost the first swapped challenge. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for Aidan when they finally lost a challenge.

For people that, on the surface, should be working together, Aidan and Logic weren’t the best of allies. Logic wouldn’t Idol Hunt with him, giving off an eerie vibe as Tribal approached. But soon later, he found out that Logic was pushing an agenda where he was on the outs of a Ben/Aidan duo, and wanted to flip. Thankfully, it looked like the consensus vote was on Ben. But Aidan didn't know that the Andaman’s (minus Gabe and plus Logic) were planning to take out Aidan in fear of an advantage due to the fire (Logic leaked that too). So came Tribal Council, when the vote turned out to be 5-2-1, safe to say Aidan left the game very hurt and confused.
