## Survivor

Beginning on the Mendoza tribe, Choc quickly forced himself into a role of authority. Taking a step back for the first immunity challenge, he anticipated a loss without his guidance. Shocking to him, Gwen S. managed to secure immunity for the tribe, much to his dismay. Despite this, Choc felt closest to Gwen and Bam B., who he quickly took under his wing as a right-hand man.

At the first reward challenge, Choc formed a cross-tribal alliance with Bam, Darcy P., Garri E., Royal P., and Zack F.. Following the dispersal of the spices which were won from the reward, Choc gained information from Bam about the idol clue hidden in the spice Bam chose. Choc planned to find the idol then swiftly mutiny to Cartagena. At the immunity challenge, Choc attempted to form a second alliance with Garri, Gwen, Reazo W., and Royal, although Gwen's lack of interest caused Choc to withhold any legitimate proposals.

By round three, Choc failed to find any idol, so he formed an alliance with Bam and Gwen. During the Hero Challenge, a tossed question sent Choc into frustration, and as a result, he shifted his gears towards throwing immunity. After Mendoza lost immunity, Choc set his sights on Emil S., someone who actively did not make an effort to speak to Choc. Leading up to tribal, Emil managed to shift the target onto Choc, due to his abrasive personality and leadership. In the first blindside of the season, Choc left in the third unanimous vote of the season.
