Iris was a contestant on Trevivor Season 2: Hades' Fury. A victim of the ill-fated Tartarus tribe, while she initially looked like she could be in a solid position - especially after the Sacrifices challenge - a power move by Nick saw her get blindsided as the second boot.

## Trevor's Cast Assessment

*I’m honestly very interested to see what Iris’s strategy will be this season, she seems to be a very social and creative person, and I can see her solidifying herself as a key factor very early on into the season. The only question is will she be able to manage her threat level effectively to get far in this game, as in the past she’s relied on challenge strength and social bonds to keep her alive at heavy times. She’s said she’s gonna change her approach to ORGs starting with this one so I’m excited as to what she holds for the future.*

## Hades' Fury

Sorted onto the Tartarus tribe, early on Iris looked like she might end up being on the bottom of the tribe, but her fortunes turned around during the first challenge, Design a Monster. Putting in a lot of work on the challenge and leading it alongside Carp, she impressed the rest of her tribemates, leaving the likely target should they go to tribal as Winston and not her.

While Tartarus lost the challenge, leading into tribal Mr. Krabs' Karaoke Dance Party formed with Iris, Carp, Nick and Silence. Quickly agreeing that Winston should be the vote, it looked like that would come about smoothly. However, Iris wanted to be the one that Winston willed his obol to, and so she decided to pretend like she was willing to try and work with him. In talking with him she threw Nick, Violet and Kage all as potential targets, and Winston immediately took this to those three to try and throw her under the bus.

This led to a brief confrontation between Iris and Nick, but they managed to smooth things over for the time being, with everyone agreeing to not shake the boat and vote out Winston, who was eliminated unanimously. Iris did not receive his obol, but because he voted for her, she received a second one of her own.

The F20 challenge was Sacrifices, and Iris did not accept the second one, which was lose her vote at her next tribal. Tartarus as a whole were blown out of the water in terms of sacrifices accepted, and so they had to go to tribal again. After Mr Krabs' Karaoke Dance Party all shared that they still had their vote, they realized that both Violet and Kage did not have theirs, due to being told the total number of sacrifices that their tribe had accepted.

Because of this, Iris immediately wanted to target one of those two, and suggested they vote out Kage due to trusting him less of the two. While initially on board with the plan to keep their four together, both Carp and Silence were hesitant about voting out Kage, and Nick pounced on this in a bid to keep both Kage and Violet (who he was allied with) alive.

He told Silence and Carp that Iris wanted to vote out Silence next after Kage, and this coupled with Iris having a bit of target on her due to her actions with Winston last cycle spurred the creation of Mr. Krabs 2 Electric Boogaloo with Nick, Carp, Silence and Kage. In this new alliance, Nick managed to push the target onto Iris, with Carp and Silence seeing this as a way to hopefully unify the tribe, and she was blindsided in a 3-1 vote. On her way out she gave one of her obols to Violet and the other to Nick.

## Season 2 Character Ranking

**18: Iris (20th place)**

*Iris was someone who seemed to be very connected to the game and what was occurring, she was one of the only castaways who was actively trying to get as many Obols as possible in the premerge, and it was great to see how much she engaged herself with the twists we had planned. Unfortunately for her she ended up getting taken out WAY earlier than anyone expected in what can only be explained as an absolute power move by Nick.*
