Ellie quickly scoffs at this and says that she would gladly choose Gabby over a million dollars, but Tess fires back by asking if Ellie would choose her over three million dollars, which causes Ellie to look down in shame.

* CompetitionFreak: If Ellie gets her mindset into winning challenges, nothing can stop her from charging forward. This becomes more pronounced in ''All-Stars'', where due to already having experience with the competition, as well as the prize money being tripled, Ellie becomes so competitive that she casually performs actions that she would've been cautious about in Season 1 with no hesitation, like [[spoiler:getting Lake eliminated in episode 3 once she realizes Lake refuses to vote with the Girls Alliance.]]

** To Alec. Both of them are contestants with money issues who stick together with Fiore in order to advance in the game, and are shown to be willing to cross certain lines in order to get what they want. However, while Alec eventually grows fond of Fiore and becomes her closest ally, Ellie only sees Fiore as a means to an end at best before [[spoiler:Fiore betrays her and makes her look like the mastermind of Tom and Jake's relationship fallout]], at which point the two become mortal enemies.
** To Miriam. They're both important female figures to Jake who bring about important parts of his development, and cause a significant shift in his relationship with Tom. Miriam signals a ''positive'' effect as the two of them talk about their respective [[spoiler:deceased family members]] that helps Miriam come out of her shell, and she eventually helps Jake start talking with Tom, which helps their relationship blossom. Ellie signals a ''negative'' effect, as she [[spoiler:tricks Jake into voting out Tom, with some manipulation from Fiore making her out to be the mastermind behind the fallout]] which ends up making the two of them hated enemies.
** To Jake. They're both somewhat naive contestants who end up going down a darker path as a result of toxic influences. In Ellie's case, she only had Alec and Fiore to hang out with at the start of the game, and their continued interaction only caused her to become more ruthless and pragmatic until she became a villainous character. In Jake's case, ''Ellie'' herself intially seemed to want to help him and Tom get together, but [[spoiler:she willingly tricks him into voting him AND getting him out]] just to stay in the game.
** To Tom. They're both much more calm and serious compared to their respective love interests, whom they genuinely love, and have been through quite a bit in their backstory; general poverty for Ellie, and [[spoiler:a failed spy mission]] for Tom. However, Tom is TheFettered who will only pull dirty tricks when absolutely necessary, while Ellie is TheUnfettered who'll waste no time throwing people under the bus if it helps her advance in the game.
** To Lake. They're both redheaded contestants with a strong presence in challenges, but Ellie's red hair is natural, while Lake's hair is a wig. Ellie is TheFriendNobodyLikes among her teammates and even former contestants, while Lake is well liked by a few people, including Jake. Ellie is TheUnfettered, willing to do anything and everything to get ahead in the game, while Lake, for the most part, plays the game as fair and square as possible. Finally, their relationships with Aiden are different: Ellie sees him as an useful elimination fodder at best and [[spoiler:is perfectly willing to get him eliminated when the Cyan Team loses for the first time]], while Lake has UndyingLoyalty for Aiden [[spoiler:to the point she tries to convince the alliance to vote out Tom, their strongest player, just for a chance to keep Aiden in the game.]]
