+ | She was best known for her alliance with [[Jason Dent]], a secret partnership with [[Paul Abrahamian]], and her bitter rivalry with [[Kevin Schlehuber]]. Initially and frequently targeted by [[Jessica Graf]], Alex was nominated as a replacement for [[Megan Lowder]], who was initially nominated but had Walked from the game. She had scored the Veto and won a lot of competitions from there on, which sent out targets like [[Dominique Cooper]] and [[Cody Nickson]]. While Jason was blindsided during the first half of the second [[Double Eviction]] leaving Alex as the odd one out, she managed to survive the second half by winning HoH. In the final 5, she was nominated. When Paul won the PoV, he decided not to save her, sealing his true alliance with Josh and Christmas, betraying her. [[Josh Martinez]] ultimately cast the tiebreaker vote against her with Paul casting a sympathy vote to evict Kevin, sending her out of the game. She placed 5th and was the seventh member of the [[jury]]. |

+ | Yes. Standing at my fun-sized, 5-foot-nothing height might make me look like an easy target, and I anticipate that people in the house will overlook me and confuse my kindness for weakness. But I play for the long endgame, and that's to win. If they see me as a non-threat, I can fly under the radar until the stronger players are weeded out. Once this happens, I can show my true colors, but still, play as a "weakling." You don't want to show too much strength right away, but you want to be strong enough that people keep you in their alliances. I may be small but my mind is sharp.
