**Kyle Scheel**, a S*urvivor Whitewater* veteran player, was a contestant on Survivor: Cabin Fever and Survivor: Summer Solstice.

A fan favorite from the *Survivor Whitewater* series, Kyle found himself as a swing vote on multiple occasions in *Survivor: Cabin Fever*, giving him an advantage. This was a double-edged sword though, with the other side being his allies questioning his loyalty, giving them a reason to blindside him. Kyle returned in *Survivor: Summer Solstice*, and found himself in a position where he was unknowingly on the outs, but his bonds took him as far as his prior attempt, before he met his ironic demise due to an advantage played on someone else that he did not play for himself before.

## Survivor: Summer Solstice

Kyle returned to play again, this time on Tribe Susu alongside returnee Connor and newbies Aaron, Allie, Mike, and Savana. Kyle bonded with his tribemates and, per usual, did a great job of it, especially compared to Connor, who psyched out everyone by searching immediately for the hidden immunity idol. At the first immunity challenge, despite Kyle's confusion midway through, it was Mike who ended up hindering Susu the most, causing them to lose. At camp, Connor and Kyle aligned with each other, wanting to keep each other safe. As time went on, Kyle tried to raise his tribe's spirits by encouraging his tribemates and giving advice based on his experiences. As he did this, Savana started to throw Connor's name out, which Aaron and Kyle disagreed, believing he will be good for challenges. In private, Kyle spoke about his perspective of the challenge as well as his connection with Connor as he planned on voting Mike. When alone, Allie and Kyle bonded with each other, and when Mike and Savana came to them, Kyle spoke to them about his past with advantages and idols as he threw out Aaron's name before Mike pulled him aside to have a 1:1 chat. At Tribal Council, Kyle talked about the beginning being the hardest part of the game for newbies since they have to "prove themselves" in such a short period of time and stated that "threats are gonna have to be cut", which people generally agreed which. Kyle voted for Mike as Allie was sent to Redemption Island in a 4-2 vote, with the Redemption Island reveal shocking Susu.

Things only got worse as Savana's struggles costed Susu immunity and a storm overtook them, causing them all to seek shelter, with Kyle optimistic throughout. At camp, Kyle owned up to voting Mike but was not being the main target as Savana was not in the Susu Men's Alliance and Aaron was asking to be voted out, despite them not wanting to do this. At Tribal Council, Kyle got a vote, but his vote for Savana sent her to Redemption Island in a 2-1-1-1 vote. After her exit, Aaron revealed he voted for Kyle due to him seeing it as a safe option, which shocked Kyle, but he was happy to hear that Aaron will give it his all for them. At the next challenge, Susu not only lost immunity but saw Aaron dislocate his shoulder. Back at camp, Kyle privately planned on voting Aaron, seeing it as the smartest move albeit feeling bad given the circumstances, but was elated to see Aaron wanting to stick it out until Tribal Council. This did not stop him from campaigning to Connor and Mike though, and he told the two men that he voted against Savana the last vote. At Tribal Council, Aaron voted against Kyle, but Kyle was spared as Aaron was sent to Redemption Island in a 3-1 vote.

The next round finally gave relief, as Susu won their first immunity challenge, with Kyle inadvertently helping Connor get an advantage in the process. At camp, Kyle celebrated with his remaining tribemates and pondered as to who from Asini will go to Redemption Island. Luckily for Susu, they won the next challenge as well, thanks to Connor. At camp, Susu discussed the merge, with Kyle agreeing to a plan for all of them to rope one person into their alliance to guarantee they will not be at risk since they will be going in at a 4-3 disadvantage in terms of original tribe numbers. Kyle also vouched for Connor, who wanted to target Corey, by saying that Corey was a very well-rounded player, with prior knowledge of this as well.

The next round gave exciting news for Kyle, as he finally made the merge. Despite the good news and excitement, Kyle was privately nervous of Allie making a revenge move against the remaining former Susu as he planned to go forth with their prior plan to pull people in. Even though Kyle lost individual immunity to Liz, he made do with the situation at hand and bonded with his tribemates as he congratulated Liz on her win and later got info from Ryan about Asini's hidden immunity idol when he and Mike spoke with him. After a failed search to find the announced "idol with special powers", Kyle spoke with Connor and Mike about voting Ryan to split a potential alliance between him, Allie, and Liz, and Mike told Kyle 1:1 his plans about them voting Ryan, then Corey, then the women, and then Tyler for them to get to the end. At Tribal Council, despite Kyle getting a flash of Connor's *50-50 Coin* advantage, he did not vote with him, as he voted Allie to strengthen his alliance's numbers, which ultimately decreased as Mike was voted out in a 5-2-1 vote, and became the first member of the jury.

After Mike's exit, things did not go well for Kyle, as he came up empty-handed in a hunt for hidden immunity idols and advantages and lost individual immunity to Connor, making him an open target for those seeing him as a threat. He did gain an ally in Liz, and they nicknamed their alliance the "Sweet and Sours" as he gave her game advice about eliminating her biggest threats, to which she believed to be Corey and Ryan. Kyle later gave the same advice to Tyler, who also wanted to vote Corey and Ryan. In private, Kyle said he was happy to not be on Susu but was concerned with how he was going to get the bigger threats out, with him setting his sights onto Ryan for the time being. A new time came moments later, after talking to Allie, Liz, and Corey; Kyle agreed to vote out Tyler and heard of others trying to target him as Allie tried to clear the air with him about the first round. Kyle then talked to Allie and Connor and got more information about why Mike was voted out and warned Connor of people targeting him, all while not revealing that he cast the stray vote against Allie, which had become a major talking point amongst the tribe. At Tribal Council, Kyle voted Tyler, who became the second juror in a 5-2 vote.

After losing immunity to Corey, Kyle privately assumed he was the one leaving but vowed to do everything in his power to ensure it did not happen. Kyle talked to Corey and Ryan about splitting the votes to flush Connor's hidden immunity idol that he said he will play. This did not stop Kyle from immediately jumping onto Connor's plan to go to the Final 4 with Allie and Liz a short while later as he agreed to vote Ryan, with him getting the same message from Liz. However, everyone except Connor were thinking of split vote plans that involved voting him. In private, Kyle stated his plans to stick with his "Sweet and Sours" to go to the Final 4 despite the toughness of the situation due to his friendship with Corey and planned to vote Ryan and saw the next vote as a test of loyalty for his alliance. At Tribal Council, his plans were trashed once Ryan played the *Safety-Without-Power* advantage, thanks to Corey, and Kyle made a last ditch move by voting Connor, hoping he will not play his idol. Connor did play his idol, and with Ryan gone he was the next biggest target and was voted out 4-1. Kyle would place 6th out of 12th and became the third member of the jury.

In the Jury Roundtable, Kyle did not take ownership of his stray vote against Allie in the Final 8, even after the jury thoroughly discussed it to find out what happened. It was not until the Final Tribal Council where Kyle finally owned up to voting her when Mike asked about it, and he stated that he voted Allie, thinking they were to pull Ryan onto their side instead of voting against him; the simple confusion gave many a reason to laugh and smile. When it was his turn to speak, Kyle asked Liz about who she gravitated towards in the game, to which he was told by her that he and Tyler seemed "wholesome" to her, and he asked Allie about her cutthroat gameplay after the merge, to which she explained her moves to him about her seemingly cutthroat game. Believing she utilized her path in the game the best, Kyle cast his jury vote for Allie to win the game, and she went on to win the second unanimous game in the *Survivor Wisconsin* series.
