Elx

Elx is a contestant on Genius Island: Agate.

Genius Island I
Although Elx had a slow start, he was able to adapt and create a game for himself that revolved around being one of the more approachable contestants of the season. Various castaways tended to come to him as one of the first potential numbers when considering or planning different moves, which allowed him to stay safe and sneakily maneuver himself into the final four.

In the early stages of the game it seemed like it was only a matter of time before Elx's game came to a close with the way Achilles was consistently losing challenges. In fact, his game was almost over before it ever really began at the sixth tribal council. Fortunately for him, Bloody, Lime and Luke decided to keep him over Brandon. Afterward unknowingly being given another opportunity he made the most of it, following in Lime's footsteps and exposing holes within former Alexander.

Elx's strategy was proving to be sufficient as he was making his way through round after round. However, he gradually started to slip, and eventually found himself on the wrong side of three consecutive votes. By the final five he was the only remaining former Achilles member, meaning he was in trouble and was desperate to make a move. Which just like most moves, was presented to him when Dan decided to flip on Steven after Elx won immunity at the final five.

When the final four rolled around Elx needed to do one or two of two things. Win immunities, and create a bond with Dano. It was clear that Dan and Semi had every intention of going to the final two together or Dan would take Dano as a potential back up option. Which meant Elx was on the outs and Dano was his only option. When Elx lost the final four immunity it seemed liked his game was over. But fortunately, he was able to convince Dano to force a tie with him knowing that Dan and Semi would vote together. After the votes locked twice, it came down to a tie breaker challenge between Dan and Elx. In which Dan won, making Elx fall just short of the final three.
