Alex Dourassof’s Surviving Paradise Journey
Hoping to spend a memorable summer partying, Alex made his way to a secluded tropical sanctuary with a luxurious villa at its heart. Encompassed by wilderness on either end, the reality star hoped to enjoy his time surrounded by nature. However, it was quickly revealed to the contestants that their aspirations to spend time in the lofty opulence of the villa could only be met under special conditions. As the members retreated to the simplicity of the wilderness, they quickly realized that creating indestructible bonds would be significant for survival. From the get-go, Alex managed to solidify a friendship with Linda Okoli and Lellies Santiago. The trio agreed to vote for Lelllies and get her into the villa, who would, in turn, bring her allies aboard, too.
As they had initially planned, their alliance proved to be the strongest, and Alex became one of the first four to enjoy the grandeur as an insider. However, as the pieces unraveled, he quickly noticed that an alliance with Lellies may not be as productive as he may have anticipated. After Lellies decided to send Linda, her closest friend, back to the camp, Alex decided to pursue other options. Naturally, to secure his position as a contender, Alex decided to side with Tabitha. However, Tabitha also started losing the trust of the cast members. At this juncture, he quickly realized that the alliances on either side were crumbling. Thus, it became apparent to Alex that he needed to build trust wherever he went.
Finally, when he returned to the villa after spending time in the camp with Tabitha, he used the arsenal of information he had to gain the trust of Justin, Aaron, and Copan, who still entrusted them. He revealed that Tabitha had blatantly announced that they would have no qualms with eliminating Justin, a member of their original alliance. However, this information didn’t work in Alex’s favor as the group ultimately voted him out from the villa. Once he made his way back to the camp, he continued to keep his promises to Linda. In the last elimination, however, Eva had to boot either Alex or Linda. Given Linda’s constant act of selflessness, Eva decided to oust Alex.
