Ak paradox

**AK Paradox**, also known as "**Dalton**", is a contestant from *Survivor: Quebec* and *Survivor: The Emerald Isle*.

In *Quebec*, he declared his intention to play a strong strategic game within the first few days. While originally being seen as untrustworthy by his tribe, his alliance with Dean allowed him to successfully stay in the game for the first two tribal councils. After the swap, he found himself on Révolution where he quickly became close with Tate and Benj. During the third swap on Liberté, he became a part of "Blake's Liberte 3.0 Alliance" and stayed within the majority until the merge. After reaching the merge, he created a fake Hidden Immunity Idol which he gave to his pre-swap ally, Dean, for a potential future strategic play. The fake Idol was spoiled by Blake, causing a huge distrust and one-sided rivalry from Dean. His strong strategic and cutthroat game took him to the final four with his two closest allies, but was shockingly eliminated by an Instant Elimination Challenge and became the 8th member of the Jury.

He was criticized by most viewers for playing such an aggressive, messy, and cutthroat game as well as his season-long rivalry with fan favorite Conor. He was labeled by a large majority of the community as the Russell Hantz of the season.

Returning in *Emerald Isle*, he came back with the intention to avoid playing as messy as he did in *Quebec*, and instead work on his social game. He quickly became close with Chris and was included in "The Dumbledores" alliance. Although initially included in a majority alliance, when Dunbrody went to their first tribal council, he and Chris were blindsided and Chris was sent home. After the swap, he remained on Dunbrody and became close with previous Arlow members; Emily and Anthony due to his distrust in the pre-swap Dunbrody tribe. He remained immune until the merge, becoming the only player in the game to be immune the entire pre-merge. Having no loyalties to his original tribe, he formed an alliance with Julia and his previous *Quebec* ally and winner, Tate. The three dominated the merge; controlling every vote, successfully flushing both super idols, as well as flushing all Hidden Immunity Idols in the game. His strong strategic, cutthroat, and social game-play helped his alliance reach Final Tribal Council.

However, his cutthroat game-play combined with his paranoid behavior was disliked by most of the jury. He received 3 jury votes at the Final Tribal Council, became tied with Tate, and lost to Julia in a 4-3-3 vote.
