==== Stella's Pippin Unit ====
Y2K, Fans vs. Favorites 3 is Kai’s first season, and Stella Evans immediately sought to help him through it. On Day 1, he was in the cross-tribe alliance Pippin Unit with Alison, another member of the Fans Tribe. As the season kicked off, Kai adjusted very well to the challenges. He liked the Scavenger Hunt, despite losing it. At the first tribal council, he cast a rogue vote against Emily. Bia ultimately ended up going home. Unlimited Questions followed as the next immunity challenge, and Kai led it alongside Angel! Unfortunately, they lost yet again. Fortunately, Kai was not on anyone’s radar as he was well liked by the whole tribe. Under Stella’s rule, he and Alison both cast votes against Griffin at tribal council, which resulted in a tie. Voting for anybody other than the inactive Aryana was extremely questionable, but Griffin was sent out on the revote. It was the first sign that Kai (as well as Alison) did not have a balanced allyship with Stella, as they submitted to her command and didn’t make their own decisions. This unsurprisingly resulted in another loss for the Fans, where Aryana was unanimously voted off.
Kai swapped onto the Hilton Tribe afterwards, where he started to take a backseat. Lady was leading the tribe to victory after victory, until That’s Hot demanded multiple participants. Kai wanted the position of dessert, but so did Kathlyn. They went back and forth for a bit, but ultimately Kai allowed his tribemate to make a dessert while he settled for the main course. His entry scored low compared to the others, but Hilton dominated the challenge nonetheless! The only difficulty came after Hilton lost Celebrity Recognition alongside Lohan, and they were both due for a joint tribal council. Lady led her tribe to success, and Kai was able to work alongside Alison for the vote, ensuring her safety. Anthony ended up going home that night. Before the merge, however, Alison was voted out on Lohan, and Kai entered the Spears Tribe without his ally. Although still aligned with Stella, he was unaware that the loyalty was one-sided.
==== Sacrifice ====
Kai proved himself powerful at the first immunity challenge, winning Entanglement and securing a spot in the top ten! Ollie was unsurprisingly voted out, and Kai and the rest of his team lost immunity in Family Feud. Working with Hilton members Lady, Angel, and Emily, they were able to outsmart the majority and take out Chelsea. As time progressed, Angel was saved by Lady’s medical evacuation and the Double Birthday rolled around. At this moment, Kai’s only ally was Stella. Idol plays and betrayals went absolutely crazy. Kai was on board with going with The Ultimate Sigmas and against Angel, Emily, and Logan, but a theft and four subsequent idol plays protected both Angel and Logan. Emily was immune due to the challenge, and so was Kathlyn. This led to him and Leo being forced into a revote as the only players eligible to receive votes after the drama. Kai was sent home by a 4-2 revote, with everyone but Angel and Logan voting against him. Stella was genuinely saddened by this, but she knew she had to stay loyal to the Sigmas, which proved to work out for her. Kai is a real one, though, and understands the emotional strain on the game and voted for Stella to win!
=== Swifties vs. The World ===
Kai returned the next season for Swifties vs. The World as a member of the Variety Tribe. The most intriguing difference between this season and his debut was the lack of an alliance with Stella, despite her being on this season's cast. While the two interacted, not much strategizing occurred. As far as challenges went in the beginning of the pre-merge, Kai coasted along well. Quits and medical evacuations allowed the tribe to survive three cycles in a row with no hits until Celebrity Recognition came along. Shea had a very dominant role on the Variety Tribe, and he insisted that if their tribe could not pull ahead by 3:00PM, they forfeit. Kai agreed with this and when the Swifties got the next point, he put the plan into motion by announcing the forfeit. It set up an interesting boundary as it turned out Kai was oblivious to the tribe's strategic course as he voted for Delaney at tribal council. Leo ended up going home in a 4-2-1 vote. He contributed a ton by getting a low score in the Silky Jigsaw, even developing a friendly rivalry with Emily Holbrook to see who can get a lower time. Kai as well as the rest of the tribe remained safe until the merge, but that didn't stop him from annoying texts in the main chat, which kicked off a group of people who wanted him gone.
At the merge, Kai became the second biggest target (Shea was the first) due to other players, primarily Y2K Unite, finding him unbearably annoying. He won immunity in Entanglement yet again and was safe for the first merged tribal, allowing Shea to take the boot. Still, Kai remained out of the loop and cast a stray vote for Logan. He won a challenge advantage in the auction and then chose not to participate in Hot Couture, leaving him wide open to receive votes. Thinking it was the best move, he voted against Delaney at tribal council. Maddie voted with him and Stella voted for Maddie. The other six votes were against Kai, and he became the second member of the jury, later voting for Delaney to win.
