## Profile

Ready to crush the competition, Chris is coming into this season with many advantages. He has always been on top throughout his life. He is currently a rising actor and model who lives in Beverly Hills and even got a scholarship to UCLA for football but his football career ended after a bad injury in his leg. He believes his strengths will be his social skills and physical strength and believes his weakness will be looking like too much of a physical threat.

**If You Could Bring 3 Things With You To The Island What Would They Be:** A football, camera, and my dog.

**What Past Player Will You Be Most Like:** I feel like I could be a social threat like Michael Yerger. I usually bond easily with most people I meet.

**Why Will You Be Sole Survivor:** I'm strong socially and physically so I believe if I play a good game, I can win this and become the Sole Survivor.

## Survivor

Chris started on the Takeda tribe. He quickly bonded with a majority of his tribe members and was well liked straight off the bat. On Day 3, Takeda won immunity. Chris decided that if his tribe ever went to tribal council, he was going to vote alongside Monique Waters, Ryan Williams, and Margarita Chen-Chavez. Chris believed they would be a loyal group to vote with. On Day 6, Takeda lost immunity. Takeda quickly split into half with 4 members on one side against the other 4. At tribal council, Chris voted with his voting alliance and targeted Kevin Jacobson for his smart strategic skills. The vote at tribal tied in a 4-4 vote between Kevin and Chris' ally Monique. Chris stuck to his word on who he was voting with and voted for Kevin during the revote alongside Ryan. Margarita decided to flip on Monique after being persuaded by the other side. Monique was sent home in a 4-2 revote, leaving Chris and Ryan on the bottom. Luckily for Chris, Takeda won the next 3 immunity challenges. Chris didn't have to worry about tribal again until Day 17 when Takeda lost again. Chris wasn't sure who vote with and believed he could easily go home. He bonded a lot more with Grace Kim after the immunity challenge and the two of them even grew little crushes on each other. Chris wasn't sure if he was going to vote with Grace since the two of them didn't work a lot together beforehand and he didn't want them to seem like a power duo. After rebuilding his trust with Margarita, Chris decided to vote alongside her and Ryan. All 3 of them voted for Cassie Minerolis due to her being a social threat. Kevin decided that the 4 of them should be able to get Cassie out and that Grace would probably also vote for Cassie. At tribal, Grace ended up voting for Ryan because she believed most of the tribe was doing that. Chris received votes from Cassie and other tribe member Tyler James. Chris, Kevin, Ryan, and Margarita stuck together and got Cassie out with their 4 votes.

On Day 18, both tribes merged. Chris was immediately well like by almost everyone, but some people kept their eyes on him due to his charming personality. On Day 19, Chris was approached by former Shimazu member Crystal Underwood. She told him that Jennifer Gonzalez was going around saying her name and lying about her. Chris believed Crystal and voted for Jennifer at tribal that night. Crystal was blindsided in a 6-4 vote and Chris was shocked. He knew that he was out of the loop on the new merged tribe. On Day 20, Chris won reward. He won a video from home and got to send a video back home to his family. This boosted his spirits and motivated him to win even more. On Day 21, Chris did well in the immunity challenge but ended up losing to Paul McAllister. After the challenge, tribal was canceled after Tyler broke his leg during the immunity challenge. On Day 24, Chris won individual immunity. At tribal council, Paul went on and on about how Jennifer was a liar and wildcard player. Chris, along with everyone else on the tribe, didn't believe Paul who was usually a hothead. Chris voted for Paul who was sent home in a unanimous vote that night. On Day 27, Chris won his second individual immunity challenge in a row. This caused him to become more of a physical threat. After the challenge, Chris heard both Ryan and Jennifer's name floating around. Chris was planning on voting for Jennifer, but was rubbed the wrong way by Ryan after Ryan and Jennifer got into an altercation regarding the tribe food. Chris realized that he and Ryan weren't really working together anymore and believed he could use Jennifer's messy gameplay as a shield for him later down the road. At tribal, Chris voted for Ryan and Ryan was sent home in a close 4-3 vote. On Day 30, Chris' Survivor crush Grace won immunity. Back at tribal, no one was speaking to Chris. When he tried speaking to Kevin and Roy DeVega about the vote, both of them kept changing the subject. Chris began to become suspicious and knew he was on the chopping block. Grace even let Chris know that she heard his name. At tribal that night, Grace decided to vote with Chris due to her crush on him and both of them targeted Jennifer. It wasn't enough for Chris and he was voted out in a 4-2 vote. He finished in 6th place and became the 4th member of the jury.

At Final Tribal Council, Chris applauded Kevin for his "top-notch" gameplay. He told Kevin that he thought he was one of the best players of the season. Chris then told Grace that she was an amazing player as well and had a special place in his heart for being his Survivor crush. He said that their bond was something a little more special than his relationship with Kevin. Chris ended up voting for Grace to win, who lost in a close 4-3 vote to Kevin.
