Elyse was a castaway on Survivor: South Pacific and was a member of the Savaii tribe. She became the 5th person voted out on Day 14 and the 4th eliminated from the game on Day 15.
With Native American heritage, Elyse hoped her ancestral spirits would guide her through the game. They did not. She joined the rest of the tribe in voting for Semhar at the first tribal council. Due to her physical prowess, Ozzy invited her into an alliance with Keith, Jim, and Whitney. Jim proposed “3+2” idea to Ozzy, that the men would stick together and vote out Elyse & Whitney first. When Savaii once again lost immunity at the third immunity challenge, the target was on Dawn, Papa Bear, and Cochran. While in the woods during the afternoon, Elyse caught Papa Bear sprinting through the woods, suspecting he was searching for the Idol, and her alliance and the rest of Savaii voted him out. Worried about Elyse’s bond was Ozzy, Jim reached out to Dawn and Cochran, and when Savaii lost the fifth immunity challenge, he told Keith and Whitney he had more numbers for them, at the expense of Ozzy’s trust. At Tribal, Elyse joined Ozzy in voting for Cochran as originally was planned, while Keith and Whitney threw their votes (at Dawn). Jim’s plan worked and with Dawn and Cochran voting with him, they were able to blindside Elyse and Ozzy and voted her out in a 3-2-2 vote, sending her to Redemption Island. The next day she competed and lost to Christine at a duel, becoming the 4th eliminated.
Elyse had more success OUTSIDE the show. Before appearing on Survivor, she was Miss Washington and was crowned the 2nd Runner-up for Miss America 2008 and made national headlines when inappropriate pictures of her drinking at a party surfaced and were leaked to TMZ. Elyse apologized and Miss America didn’t care. Elyse’s background includes Yakama (Native), German, Japanese, and Latina blood.
If you like the castaway, plus (+), if you don't, neg (-). Use your own criteria. Make sure you vote in all the polls on the blogs to the left. Let me know if you want to be tagged (or untagged).
IF ONLY, Jim didn't get insecure. Elyse would've stayed, Cochran would've gone pre-merge. No Cochran would've led Jim's alliance to victory and we would've had a Jim/Whitney/Keith final 3 -- no Cochran or probably Dawn in Caramoan.
