Mitchell is a contestant from *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur*, *Survivor: Philippines*, *Survivor: Caramoan* and *Survivor: India*.

## Survivor: San Juan Del Sur

Mitchell was on the orange Coyopa tribe at the beginning of *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur*. He quickly made allies with the men of his tribe excluding Domenic. When both tribes had to go to tribal council on Day 3 in a Double Tribal Council, the men banded together. However, this proved useless and Mitchell was the first castaway voted out.

## Survivor: Philippines

Mitchell then competed on *Survivor: Philippines* originally on the yellow Tandang tribe. He quickly formed the Fulcrum Alliance with Montana, Tison and Vanessa and their first target was Erinn because she previously went after each member of the alliance at some point in their previous attempts. She was also well connected to Domenic, Katrina and Marina on the rival Matsing tribe. Despite these factors, the alliance never had to execute their plan because Tandang won all immunity challenges they had together.

At the tribe dissolve on Day 13, Mitchell was switched to the red Kalabaw tribe along with Elyse, Mitchell, Montana and Tison from the original Tandang. They joined Bianca, Joel and Liam from the original Kalabaw as well as Domenic and Jasmine from the blue Matsing. Tensions rose between Domenic and Jasmine from their division on Matsing, forcing the rest of the tribe to pick a side to align with. Mitchell aligned with Domenic in the majority, and the alliance voted out Jasmine at their first tribal council. At Kalabaw's loss on Day 22, they were shocked to find out that they were to attend a Double Tribal Council. Though Mitchell voted with the majority the first time to eliminate Joel, he flipped to Bianca and Elyse's minority because he was uncomfortable aligning with pairs Domenic and Liam, as well as Montana and Tison. At their second tribal that night, Mitchell voted with Bianca and Elyse to blindside Liam whilst the rest of the tribe struggled to decide which castaway to vote for. However, Bianca and Mitchell were getting suspicious of Elyse's intentions and Mitchell convinced Bianca to play her idol. With the only votes that counted, Elyse was blindsided.

The remaining castaways from the Kalabaw and Tandang tribes merged on Day 25. Bianca and Mitchell kept their partnership a secret, but they were able to slip into the majority alliance with Vanessa (who Mitchell was aligned with on the original Tandang tribe) and her allies Aiden and Thomas. The five systematically eliminated Catherine, Domenic, Montana and Tison at the first four merged tribal councils whilst the minority alliance crumbled. Katrina and Marina had a large argument back at Dangrayne, where the rest of the tribe were forced to pick a girl to align with. Bianca and Mitchell's strategy was based around laying low, so they decided to align with Marina because she was a bigger target than Marina for winning *Survivor: Panama*. Both Katrina and Marina however played idols at tribal council as this argument was merely a trick, and Aiden gave the sole vote to eliminate Vanessa.

Bianca and Mitchell were confident that they would be able to slip to Day 39 because Katrina and Marina painted themselves as huge strategic threats. They aligned with Aiden and the trio was able to eliminate Vanessa's closest ally Thomas and take revenge on Katrina and Marina. At the Final Tribal Council, Bianca and Mitchell's stealthy partnership was well respected by the jury. Bianca's uphill battle to get to the end after controlling the original Kalabaw was given major props, though Mitchell's immunity wins edged her out when their games were compared with a fine toothed comb. He was awarded the title of Sole Survivor, winning five of eight jury votes from Catherine, Domenic, Montana, Thomas and Tison.

## Survivor: Caramoan

Mitchell returned for *Survivor: Caramoan* on the purple Bikal tribe, labelled the Favorites. At the first tribal council, he voted with the men for Bianca. However, she used a Hidden Immunity Idol, sending his ally Jack home. The women then blindsided Eileen for trying to jump ship to the men. At this point, the tribe was on a losing streak. When they lost the third time, the boys and girls voted against each other. Mitchell once again voted for Bianca, but she used another idol, sending him home.

At the tribe switch, Mitchell was placed on the orange Gota tribe along with original members, Spencer and Fawn. During this time, the tribe lost three consecutive challenges. The original favorites voted together for Ashton, Ellie and Lorenzo when they lost. They were all sent home, with the exclusion of Ashton by using his Hidden Immunity Idol, instead voting out Alyssa.

Mitchell, despite the losses was able to make the merged tribe. He was in the minority of the tribe, despite being originally on the Favorites tribe. Bianca was so connected with the castaways of the tribe that she convinced enough of them to send Mitchell home, making him a member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for eventual Sole Survivor Bianca to win the prize.

## Survivor: India

For being a Sole Survivor, Mitchell competed in *Survivor: India* originally on the gold Brahma tribe. The women of her tribe originally formed an alliance and sent Cherry home during the Triple Tribal Council twist. When it was found on Day 6 that another Triple Tribal would occur, Mitchell was the second victim of the women's majority.
