Well, it’s finally here #survivetheraft is coming to Max and @discovery this July.” He has been promoting the show on his social media or in any other way he can. Again, just lately, close to the show’s premiere, he again invited people to join him in watching the premiere.
During the introduction, viewers were told that Elliot is as friendly as can be, and yet he has a cunning nature. He grew up playing team sports. But, at the same time, they described he is not afraid to play dirty to score a goal. With an engineer’s mind and an Apollo physicality, Elliot was explained to have the brains and brawn to make it to the end of the challenge. Also, they presented him as someone who can build and fix anything without an instruction manual.
