Neo

***Neo was a castaway on Goldvivor: Cape Clear Island. He placed 4th.***

## Cape Clear Island Summary

Neo bonded with members of his tribe early on and thought that he made a very close connection to Carlos, so from then on he told him everything. Neo was invited to join an alliance very early in the game, with Andy, Riolen, and Essix, and they all could have formed a majority. But instead, Neo chose to create an alliance of himself, OG, Carlos, and Alex, and he even managed to swing Hades and take out Riolen, the biggest threat in his eyes thanks to Riolen's connection to Essix. Neo put himself in a very good position, but then he got swapped, and he was forced to work with Essix, the guy that he had just blindsided. Throughout the swaps, Neo was immune for all but one tribal, which he was not a target in.

And then the merge hit, and Neo found himself allied with Scoob and Cyan, two Todhchai members. He had a whole master plan, and tribal that night had went perfectly. Neo managed to eliminate Witch and Squid, two Todhchai members, and his alliances were solid.

Also, way before this, he found three idols in a cave, a trust idol friendly idol and a regular idol, 2/3 of those being very useful for him later on.

Everything came crashing down when Neo heard from Andy that Scoob was going for him. Andy gave me an idol, so he was inclined to believe him. So he did what Andy wanted him to do, I voted for Scoob. Turns out, that was all a lie, and Scoob didn’t vote for Neo. But he was still immune at that tribal.

And the next tribal and the tribal after that, thanks to his idols. And then the next four tribals thanks to Neo's immunities.

His alliance of Carlos, Essix, and Andy seemed good on the surface, but Andy was a scheming little snake, and he managed to figure this out at the final 5, but it was too late.

Carlos was eliminated in a tie vote after he got unlucky in a wheel. Neo's best ally and goat was gone.

There was also Hades, who was pissed at Neo after he threw his name out as bait at the second pre-merge tribal, and Hades held a grudge ever since. It was after the witch/squid vote that he flipped, and Neo and Hades were rivals, both of them immune for tribal after tribal until finally at final six he ran out of luck, and Neo took him out. The rivalry was really fun to watch for both the spectators and production.

Neo also met someone named Koala. She seemed to just be a really nice, kind, friendly girl, but there was more. Neo realized far too late that Koala was a strategist, a villain, and a liar. Neo thought that he could trust her, because Koala put on a facade, but he couldn’t, and she blindsided him at final four and eventually went on to win the game.

Overall, Neo played an amazing game. He made alliances, He made friends, He had an overall alright social game. Neo's physical game was incredible, he won four immunity challenges in a row. Sadly, he didn't win the immunity challenge at final four, which was the final nail in the coffin for him. Although his plans almost always fell through, Neo made a lot of really great moves, and he played well. His biggest flaw though is the one that ultimately got him fourth place: his threat level management. Neo was immune 7 times in a row, thanks to three idols and four immunities. So of course the second he wasn't immune, he was going to get taken out.
