Tison is a contestant from *Survivor: Panama*, *Survivor: Gabon*, *Survivor: Philippines*, *Survivor: Nicaragua* and *Survivor: Cagayan*.

## Survivor: Panama

Tison began *Survivor: Panama* on the blue Bayoneta tribe, where he and Spencer argued early on about building the shelter. With another argument occurring between Peighton and Alexis, the tribe was forced to picks side. Tison became apart of the majority, aligning with Alexis, Joey, Kayla and Sarah. At the tribes first loss on Day 1, the five voted out Beau. With power on his side, Tison remained safe as Bayoneta won the next three challenges.

At the Tribe Dissolve, Tison was switched to the purple Casaya tribe along with Spencer. Though initially without allies on the tribe, Tison was approached by the Viveros Alliance and became apart of the majority. At the Day 9 Double Tribal Council, the alliance of eight voted out Catherine who had earlier conflict with the original Viveros tribe members. Tison formed a strong friendship with Marina, Katrina and Bianca following their next immunity win, and felt comfortable that he would not be targeted first amongst his eight person alliance. At their next loss, the majority voted out Natalia to maintain more power. Casaya lost the next immunity challenge, and learnt that they would be voting out two people on the same night. Tison was told that Matthew and Rachel were the targets. However, some of the Viveros Alliance flipped on Tison because of his new friendships and he was blindsided at the second vote.

## Survivor: Gabon

Tison was originally on the yellow Kota tribe during *Survivor: Gabon*. Fortunately for him, the Kota tribe won the first four immunity challenges and they never had to go to tribal council. At the tribe switch, Tison was switched to the red tribe along with original members Priya, Travis and Vanessa. Despite having the numbers advantage, Priya didn't feel valued within the alliance and flipped on them. Her first target with the original Fang trio was Tison, and he was eliminated.

## Survivor: Philippines

Tison began *Survivor: Philippines* originally on the yellow Tandang tribe. He formed an alliance with fellow returning players Mitchell, Montana and Vanessa in order to target Erinn for her connection to Domenic, Katrina and Marina on the blue Matsing tribe. Despite holding the majority, the alliance never had to execute their plans because Tandang won all immunity challenges they had together. During this time, Montana and Tison also became strong allies and formed their own Final Two alliance. At the Tribe Dissolve on Day 13, Tison was switched to the red Kalabaw tribe along with Elyse, Mitchell and Montana. They joined Domenic and Jasmine from the blue Matsing tribe as well as Bianca, Joel and Liam from the original Kalabaw.

The tension between Domenic and Jasmine from Matsing continued on Kalabaw, with the tribe forced to pick between the two castaways. Montana and Tison aligned with Domenic, Liam and Mitchell. At their first loss, Domenic's rivalry with Jasmine concluded when Tison and his alliance voted her out. Following their loss on Day 22, Kalabaw was shocked to find out they were attending a Double Tribal Council. Tison and his majority voted out Joel from the minority alliance at the first half of their tribal council. Montana and Tison were concerned they were only voting to appease Domenic, and they flipped to vote for him. With the majority of votes however, Liam was blindsided. The pair then returned to Domenic's alliance, which extended to a quartet when Elyse joined to avoid a tied vote. After losing immunity, the four planned on targeting Bianca. Unfortunately for them, she found the rehidden Kalabaw idol and Elyse was voted out with the second highest number of votes.

The Kalabaw and Tandang tribes merged together on Day 25. Domenic assumed he would be aligned with Montana and Tison, but they had other plans. They approached Catherine and the Tandang Alliance to vote for Katrina, but Tandang reneged on this plan and Catherine was voted out instead. With 10 castaways remaining, Montana and Tison again aligned themselves with Domenic, Katrina and Marina. Domenic planned for the five to vote for Aiden and at least force a tie. However, Montana overheard that the Tandang Alliance was voting for Domenic and to ensure he would be eliminated, she told Tison she was switching her vote from Aiden to Bianca in order to avoid a tie. Tison's alliance of four then agreed Aiden was their next target, but he played an idol. With the second highest number of votes from the majority splitting the votes, Montana was voted out followed shortly by Tison. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for TBA to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Nicaragua

Tison then returned for *Survivor: Nicaragua*, where he was originally placed on the blue Espada tribe. Compared to their rivals, Espada was weak and lost the first three immunity challenges they had together. The women held the majority, leading to the eliminations of Beau and Ryan at their first two tribal councils. Tison felt he would be protected by the women to an extent because he worked with some of them during his previous seasons. However, they felt Bobby Jon and Cody were greater physical assets and Tison was voted out on Day 8.

## Survivor: Cagayan

In his most recent season, Tison returned to *Survivor: Cagayan*. He was placed on the green Luzon tribe, labelled a brain for his perceived street smarts, as well as academic ability. At the first Tribal Councils for the Brains, Tison was able to make bonds, but did not vote with the majority alliance. This resulted in the loss of his allies, including Richard and Spencer.

He was able to make the tribe switch and joined the purple Solana tribe. The Solana tribe experienced a string of Tribal Councils and immunity losses. He was originally a target for his loud personality when Ryder went home, but was safe. At this point, Tison became aligned with The Beauty's and he voted with them in order to eliminate Lina and Matthew at the next two tribal councils Solana attended.

Tison was able to make the Merge. With safety in numbers, the votes were tied between Liam and Caroline, saving Tison from elimination. Caroline was voted out that night. By Day 25, Catherine was being perceived by the other castaways as a floater for not making any strategic moves and she was voted out. After Axel, a strong threat was voted out, Tison was considered the next target. For being apart of these alliances with the eliminated castaways, Tison was also eliminated and became a member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for her fellow Brain and eventual runner-up, Lora to win the title of Sole Survivor.
