Karlos is a contestant from *Survivor: Mamanuca Islands* and *Survivor: Cloncurry*.

## Survivor: Mamanuca Islands

Karlos began *Survivor: Mamanuca Islands* originally on the yellow Soko tribe. He and Isabelle spent the first couple of days together talking and laughing, leading to a strong friendship and Final Two alliance. Despite their coupling, Isabelle and Karlos were not considered targets as Sugar isolated herself from the tribe. She later confessed she was struggling with the recent passing of her father. When Soko lost the second immunity challenge on Day 6, the pair voted for perceived strategic threat Neda but the majority eliminated Sugar.

At the Day 9 tribe switch, Karlos remained on Soko along with Justin and Will and were joined by Elena and Ika from Yawa. Without his number one ally, Karlos agreed with Justin and Will that the original Soko tribe had to remained a cohesive group of three. After losing their first immunity challenge, the boys were given even more power when a vote blocker prevented Elena from voting. Ika's sole vote had no power, and Karlos voted with his alliance to eliminate Elena. It appeared Ika would be the next eliminated when Soko lost their second consecutive challenge, but she played her Hidden Immunity Idol. With Ika's vote the only one that counted, Justin was sent home.

At this point, Karlos made the merge and was sure his alliance with Isabelle was still strong. He was shocked to find out that she ditched him in favour of the post-switch Levu tribe, and was left with no other option than to align with Will, Ika, Jose and Neda. At the first merged tribal, the five voted for Deborah (as they believed she would be least likely to have an idol) but a tie occurred between Will and Deborah. At the revote, Kieran, Neda and Tom switched their votes to eliminate Will. This left Ika, Jose and Karlos in the minority of the tribe. They tried to convince the Levu Alliance to vote for Kieran who was playing the middle, but this failed and Karlos became the first member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Karlos told Isabelle how he felt betrayed when she ditched him at the merge and instead voted for strategist Raph to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Cloncurry

Karlos then returned for *Survivor: Cloncurry*, where he was placed on the yellow Brains tribe with his *Mamanuca Islands* ally Neda. The pair initially aimed to form an alliance that mostly consisted of returning players, but then had their sights set on the newbies. This ultimately led to the creation of a six person majority that included Cara, George, Hayley and Wai. After the losing the first immunity challenge of the season, this alliance eliminated Phil for being physically weak. The new players in Karlos' alliance built a relationship with Christopher, which led to his inclusion in their alliance. This made Karlos suspicious they were attempting to build an army against him and Neda because of their history working together. When Brains lost again on Day 7, the alliance split the votes between outsiders Gabby and Jacob, which resulted in Gabby's elimination. Brains managed to win the next two immunity challenges, which kept Karlos in a powerful position with Neda, much to the chagrin of the tribe.

At the Tribe Switch on Day 13, Karlos stayed on Brains with Cara, Christopher and George. They were joined by Brooke, Emmett and Kez from the rival Brawn tribe. Despite having a majority over Brawn, Karlos had the feeling that Christopher could not be trusted and instead focused on building new relationships with the original Brawn castaways. However, they wanted to work with both Christopher and Karlos to split votes between Cara and George. This was the plan when Brains lost the immunity challenge on Day 15, though Cara used a Hidden Immunity Idol on George at tribal council. Karlos thought this would mean Cara would be eliminated, but the Brains trio reconnected and put all their votes on Karlos and he was voted out with the majority of votes.
