### 2055

Cooper started his journey on the Eiros tribe, which lost every immunity challenge before the swap. He entered the game with a strong pre-existing relationship with Scarlet where the two of them would go on to have a very strong grasp over the pre-swap Eiros tribe. The first boot was simple, the entire tribe not bonding much with Jo$h led to a unanimous and uneventful tribal. Cooper began to work his social game within the tribe, creating a tight three between himself, Josh and Mikey. The three of them would for the next several boots attempt to boot Edvin, someone they all had not felt much connection to. Unfortunately for them, Scarlet would use her influence to push the target off of him. The next boot ended up being boomer, despite Edvin's name being thrown out. The next tribal another push for Edvin was attempted, and even a last minute blindside on Birdie was thrown out. In the end, Scarlet and Jacob would both shut down the attempted moves in order to boot a less active member of the tribe- Reef. At the next tribal, Jacob went on a raid to the Charmion tribe and was unable to vote. When both tribes had to go to tribal due to the reverse greed challenge, and with Jacob not around to protest; Edvin finally became a unanimous boot after casting his vote against Cooper.

After Edvin was booted, both tribes were told to drop their buffs. Cooper looked around to find he was the only original Eiros member on a tribe full of original Charmions. While Cooper attempted to bond with his new tribe mates, he never had to go to tribal on his new tribe before the merge.

At the merge, Cooper wanted to stick to his original Eiros tribe due to having voted with them for the entire first half of the season. His likability and new connections kept him out of the line of fire, but another member of his tribe (Mikey) was looking to be the target at the merge. When Mikey played an idol, idoling out Zanny, Cooper was looking to be in a precarious position. He was not the largest target on his tribe, but he was still on the wrong side of the numbers. Fortunately for him, after the touchy subjects competition, LSE was revealed to be the person the remaining castaways believed was most likely to win the game. This, along with the influence of Josh and Cooper caused Jaiden to flip to at the final 11. Unfortunately for Jaiden and the original Eiros tribe, trevor played an extra vote which caused a rock draw. The rock draw ended up in Cooper's favor, booting Justin from the game. After Justin was gone, Cooper worked his hardest to ensure that Jaiden did not flip back to cause a second rock draw. Jaiden's eyes were set on Paula, and she went home in a 6-4 vote. After LSE won immunity at the final 9, Jaiden was looking to boot Derek due to him being the next big threat. Cooper on the other hand wanted to boot Trevor, someone he had no connection to all game, and who had angered the remainder of the original Eiros tribe. Trevor was booted in a 5-3-1 vote, leaving out everyone not originally from the Eiros tribe. At the final 8, LSE finally lost immunity and became the prime target. The remaining members of the game wished to split the votes between her and Derek due to them being close all season. This went off without a hitch, LSE playing an immunity idol and Derek going home. After LSE won the final 7 immunity, Cooper knew it was time to turn on his original tribe. Josh and Mikey were looking to be the big targets, but after Josh bluffed an idol play the merge tribe unanimously booted Mikey. Josh was removed at final 6 because he sucks and is a cheater who poops his pants, putting Cooper into the final five. LSE was once again the target, but in predictable fashion she won immunity. This led Cooper and Scarlet to have a bit of a problem. On one hand, they saw Jacob as a bigger jury threat than Jaiden. On the other hand, they believed Jacob had a better chance of beating the biggest jury threat (LSE) in final immunity. After much debate, Jacob was saved and Jaiden was booted in a 3-1-1 vote. At final 4, LSE lost final immunity to Jacob. LSE was then booted unanimously, putting Cooper in the final three.

At final tribal council, Cooper gave a pitch for his strong social game and under the radar moves. The jury scorned him for being too passive, and he had trouble differentiating himself as playing his own game. In the end, Cooper was only able to get Trevor's jury vote.

Cooper was remembered for his likable personality and his general charm. His confessionals were nerdy and endearing, and he had a great heart for the game. In the end, his decision at final five may have cost him the game. Cooper most certainly would have beaten Jaiden, but considering Jaiden most likely would not have beaten LSE in final immunity, there perhaps was no way for Cooper to win in the end game. Cooper was able to remain non-threatening after the edvin boot, not receiving a single vote throughout the entire merge.
