 is a contestant from Survivor: Royals vs. Rebels.

Profile
Name (Age): Elliot Tyson (19)

Tribe Designation: Tikehau (Rebels)

Current Residence: Bellingham, WA

Occupation: College Student

Claim to Fame: I’ve only been in college for a year or so, but I’m already a member of seven clubs, and I’m even the Vice President of one of those! My university has a pretty high rate of participation in clubs, so having such a high position is a big accomplishment. I’m proud of myself for followin’ my passions and getting involved at school, ‘cause I was a bit of a flake in high school.

Inspiration in Life: My little brother Mark. He’s only sixteen, but he’s already getting offers from huge, D1 schools because he’s so good at football. I’m proud that he found something he likes and he’s good at. That inspires me to keep following my dreams and passions, and it doesn’t hurt that I could see him making the NFL and making the fam some money.

Hobbies: Pretty much all I have time for anymore is goin’ to club meetings and doin’ club related stuff. When I’m out of school, though, I’m a sucker for roadtrips down to California and enjoying the surf. I have the “surfer” look for sure, and it’s a pretty fun time too. When I do get free time, well… I’ve been called the life of the party for a reason, let’s say that.

Pet Peeves: Capitalism.

3 Words to Describe You: Chill, passionate, and fun

What Makes You a “Rebel”: Y’know, I think it’s ‘cause not everyone joins seven clubs at their college. I’ve always done my own thing, and when people try to pressure me to do things or follow the beaten path, I don’t listen to ‘em. I do what I want to do as long as it’s legal, and that for sure makes me a rebel.

Who is More Suited for Survivor: Royals or Rebels: Rebels! We do our own thing, as I said, so we’re not gonna blindly follow people in the game. Followers always lose the jury vote, while the leaders, the pavers of our own paths - also known as the Rebels - will get the jury’s respect. Rebels always question what people tell ‘em, so we’re not gonna fall for people’s lies as easily.

Reason for Being on Survivor: My friends kept pressurin’ me to apply! I know I just said I don’t let people pressure me to do things, but I checked the show out and thought it was pretty cool, and thought, “why the hell not?” I don’t really know what I’m doin’, but I’ll have a good time either way.

Why You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I’m pretty good socially in my everyday life, so it can’t be too hard to get people on my side, y’know? I just need a majority and not make too many waves, so people will trust me and keep me around. I don’t think I’ll be seen as much of a threat, especially if I pretend I’m a surfer douche from Cali. I’m likable, which’ll get me the jury votes, and I don’t plan on making flashy moves that’ll make me come off as a threat. As long as I stick to these plans, I should be golden.
