== Gameplay ==
=== Brains vs. Brawn ===
Maheen started off on the Brain Tribe. As his tribe was very successful, he easily made it to the tribe swap with minimal effort. At the swap, he was put on the Venus Tribe alongside Maddy and Manny, and they later formed the MMM alliance. Following the Everybody Is Here challenge, Maheen found the hidden immunity idol after Colin used his. Moving onto the merge, he and his allies voted for Melia. However, the majority put their votes on Maheen. His faux confidence led to his elimination with an idol in his pocket.
=== Fans vs. Favorites ===
Maheen returned as a Favorite. He easily joined an alliance with alumni from season two, and at tribal, they put their votes on the first ever winner, Chelsea. However, by a super close majority vote of 4-3, Maheen became the first person voted out this season. He passed Chelsea in placement by default, but later lost to Kat on Redemption Island, placing 13th overall.
=== Cameo Island ===
Maheen was a twist on Cameo Island. When Shannon was given the option to either bring Jessica or Maheen into the game, she chose Jessica. Little did she know, this did not mean Maheen would be out for good. He got a one-way ticket to the merge. On Day 6, he merged onto the Honolulu Tribe. He cast a rogue vote for Mia at his first tribal council, but when the tribal was revealed to be a double, Shannon finished her quest to terminate all veterans, and Maheen became the first member of the jury. He later voted for Maddie to win.
=== All Stars ===
==== Allies Forever ====
Maheen was later invited into All Stars as a Villain. He performed very well in the challenges, and easily became allies with Maddy and Lizbeth, people he could very easily work together with. This trio utilized the majority, and every vote was a piece of cake for Maheen. On top of this, he displayed very strong and discreet networking skills as well as using deception to strengthen his own chances, such as getting Emilee to vote for Megan. He stuck with the majority, and it was a success for the entirety of the pre-merge game.
==== It's Not About Heroes & Villains ====
At the merge, Maheen had full intent on sticking with his trio. He won the first individual immunity challenge by using his challenge advantage purchased in the auction. He later found out that the majority was going to vote for Lizbeth. He originally cast his vote for Colin but ended up switching to Liz. As it turned out, Maddy had a super idol, which ended up sending Colin home. Maheen later reunited with the two and successfully sent Jessica home. On the Night of Bruxelles, Maheen proved that he was here to win. After gaining her trust, he backstabbed Megan, and aligned with a hero, Regan. The following night, he broke away from his trio and blindsided Lizbeth. This led to the Rickus Night, which caused some confusion between his alliance with Regan, but together they were able to solve it and prove their loyalty to one another. As Maddy won the final immunity, Kat was sent home. Maheen ended up placing runner-up alongside Regan with one vote, casted by Kat.
=== World Tour ===
Maheen started strong on World Tour. Lilly's elimination was a breeze, and he soon became a member of Nakamura. His tribe dominated the game, and only had to attend tribal when it was mandatory. He was in a very versatile position on Day 6, and could pretty much control this upcoming vote. He decided to side with Allyson, Corri, and Wes to take out Kenzie. At the merge, he stayed with this group, but due to an advantage play, Allyson was taken out. The votes at the following tribal tied between Corri and Shannon, and after talking with Wes, he decided it was best to flip and vote out Corri. After this, he believed the next course of action was to go for Delaney. However, the majority had ulterior motives, and ended up sending Maheen to jury with a knife in his back. He later voted for Delaney to win.
=== Second Chance ===
There is not much detail behind Maheen's trajectory on Second Chance. After an unfavorable placement on the McKenna Tribe, his invisible presence resulted in him being voted off as soon as the tribe lost a challenge. He then became the first player to forfeit a duel, and placed 14th.
=== Dynamic Duos ===
Maheen appeared once again in Dynamic Duos with Wes. Placed on the Pussy Tribe, Maheen got along well with his tribe and performed well in the challenges, notably the Scavenger Hunt. For the first half of the game, he was one of the bigger personalities compared to the rest of the cast. Things went smoothly and Maheen's entertainment value thrived. Faced with the first tribal council of The Pussies, Maheen's name was floating around, mainly started by his former ally Regan from All Stars. Allies were on his side, though, and Regan was voted off unanimously. Unfortunately, things started to go south for Maheen as his duo Wes was booted on BBB the next cycle. Left alone, his spirit dwindled. He had the main chat muted due to nobody shutting up and his activity levels dropped fast. He became a part of minor, short-lived alliances on his tribe, such as Merry Clitmas. Melindah easily went home next, and Maheen made it to the merge. At this point, he was completely alone, only a part of since dissolved alliances. After the first immunity challenges, both the Insomniacs and Redemption Arc had the same common target in mind, In his current position, Maheen was isolated and disconnected, and voted off unanimously with eleven votes, right before jury.
