Aiden is a contestant from *Survivor: Philippines*, *Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains* and *Survivor: Fiji*.

## Survivor: Philippines

Aiden began *Survivor: Philippines* originally on the yellow Tandang tribe. He formed a close bond with fellow new players, Elyse and Kyle. Though they were in the minority, the trio was protected for the time being because the majority of the returning players resented Erinn. Tandang was a strong tribe, winning all immunity challenges they had together during the first 12 days.

The following morning, a tribe dissolve occurred where Aiden remained on Tandang along with Erinn, Kyle and Vanessa. The newbie men were in the minority, but the majority still had a vendetta against Erinn and she was voted out. Kyle and Aiden then formed a counter alliance to the majority with Katrina and Marina from the original Matsing tribe. At their second tribal council, the four targeted Vanessa but Aiden flipped to avoid a deadlocked tie and Kyle was eliminated. Feeling that his alliance with Katrina and Marina was no longer worth his time, Aiden flipped to the original Tandang majority (the Fulcrum Alliance) led by Vanessa. Their target was Marina, but Sarah was blindsided at tribal council because Thomas and Vanessa flipped on their own alliance.

Tandang and Kalabaw then merged on Day 25. Aiden was included in the majority alliance on the merged Dangrayne tribe when he was offered by Thomas and Vanessa in addition to her allies Mitchell and Bianca. He was only strengthened at the merge when he found the tribes Hidden Immunity Idol at the Dangrayne camp. The five united at the first merged tribal councils whilst the rest of the tribe collapsed and they successfully eliminated Catherine and Domenic. The minority attempted to overthrow their rivals by voting for Aiden, but he played his idol and Montana was voted out with the second highest number of votes. At the Final Eight, Aiden's alliance agreed to vote for Tison but he flipped and voting for Thomas with the minority. With a 4-4 tie, Vanessa was able to convince Aiden to keep Thomas around, but he said he expected something in return for his vote.

Katrina and Marina found the two idols rehidden at the Dangrayne camp and they approached Aiden with a proposition. They faked an argument and forced the rest of the tribe to pick a side to align with. With three votes against Marina and another three against Katrina, both girls played their idols. Aiden was given power by the girls to vote for a castaway of their choice and he eliminated Vanessa as the favour he requested the tribal before. Despite working with the girls at this point, he flipped to the power couple of Bianca and Mitchell to eliminate Thomas, Marina and Katrina whom he considered his biggest threats to get to the end. At the Final Tribal Council, Aiden was able to clearly articulate his move with Katrina and Marina which earned praise from majority of the jury. However, he was unable to articulate any further moves that proved he was a long term strategist that had a strong hold on the pulse of the game. As a result, he was awarded the title of Co Runner-Up after earning one jury vote of eight from an impressed Vanessa.

## Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains

Aiden was placed on the Villains tribe during *Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains* for turning on majority of his allies. The female villains created an alliance early on and decided to throw the first challenge to eliminate Cody, a perceived threat. They proceeded to win four immunity challenges, saving themselves. When the lost the next three times, Brendan, Jase and Cherry were voted out. Sarah was then blindsided when she wanted to change her alliance. At this point, the women's alliance broke down and Bailey and Darcy were sent home when the tribe lost the next challenges.

At this point, Aiden made the merge. Bethany was voted out first by the all members of the Villains tribe, closely followed by Priya being blindsided from her alliance. By this point, an unsettling pair of alliances were at war, with it literally being Heroes vs. Villains. However, with the help of Ashleigh, the Heroes voted out Hunter. The minority Heroes, Jeremiah and Travis were voted out. The minority villains members were then the threat of the game. When Aiden was unable to secure an immunity win, he was voted out and became a member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Aiden voted for Ashleigh to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Fiji

For a third attempt at the win, Aiden competed in *Survivor: Fiji* on the Kuneho tribe, comprised of all former finalists. The tribe early on began to show signs of distrust and rocky relationships. All members of Kuneho began to distrust each other, causing a series of plans and alliances to vote other castaways out. At the first tribal council, Thomas was voted out. At the tribes second loss on Day 5, Aiden was voted out.
