**Casey MacPhetridge** was a contestant on Survivor: Winter War and Survivor: Battle Royale.

Put onto the ill-fated Targaryen Tribe in *Survivor: Winter War*, Casey had an early demise in the game due to his immense amounts of connections with many others in the game being revealed too early on. Casey would return to *Survivor: Battle Royale*, hoping for a better opportunity than his last. However, he would meet a demise after the merge due to issues occurring with things people perceived to not be related to the game.

## Survivor: Winter War

Casey would begin the game on the Targaryen Tribe, and he would be excited to play alongside the others. Casey would immediately get into an alliance with Collin and Ness, the trio agreeing to stick together in the game as new players and to get rid of the returning player on their tribe, Richie, as fast as possible. When given an opportunity to volunteer as a leader at the first immunity challenge, Casey and the others let Richie have the leader role, only for him to pick Ness and Alex over Casey and Collin. Alex and Ness would be unable to score any points, forcing Casey to go to the first tribal council of the season. Back at camp, Casey would see that the people on the chopping block were coming down to Richie and Alex, and seeing Alex as the more popular one on their tribe, he suggested to his alliance they vote for Richie. However, Collin and Ness would want to keep Richie a bit longer, seeing him as valuable for the future. At tribal council, he would vote off Alex alongside the other three on his tribe.

After returning to camp, Casey would lament their loss and would agree with his tribe on the basis of Richie being the leader. Collin would unfortunately lose the next immunity challenge for their tribe, sending them right back to tribal council. Back at camp, Casey would not answer Richie when asked by him about if he was the next to go, even though he was reassured by Richie that he would prefer their honesty if his concerns were valid. Casey would agree with the other two allies on his tribe when they wanted to vote Richie out, as he and the others saw themselves as having the best chemistry together without him on their tribe. Casey and Collin would be approached by Richie, who wanted to take Ness out for being Darius' girlfriend, saying that he knew how dangerous of a player Darius was and said that he thought Darius had given her enough advice to help her run the game. However, the minute he left to do his private confessional, Richie would campaign against Casey for his connections to the other tribe. But it would not matter, because at tribal council, Casey and the other two would vote Richie out, and Casey would not receive a single vote against him.

Casey would give his best in the third immunity challenge, but it would not be enough, and the Targaryen Tribe would once again have to go to Tribal Council. Back at camp, the talk of strategy was low, and Casey would entrust that Collin would choose him over Ness, assuming the guys to have the stronger bond. However, Ness had made a great case against him, where she warned Collin of Casey's connections with many others in the game, specifically his girlfriend Dacota. At tribal council, Ness' plan would work, and Casey would become the third person voted out of the game by a 2-1 vote, where he was clearly blindsided by Collin's decision.

Alongside the duo he helped to vote out, and with Jadon and Arthur, Casey was given a shot to come back into the game, the Comeback Competition. Unfortunately, Casey's elimination would stay, as he would lose the Comeback Challenge to Jadon.

## Survivor: Battle Royale

Casey would begin the game on the Scorpions Tribe, aligning quickly with other big players to keep him safe. After aligning with Bri, Devin, and Hunter, Casey would attempt to lay low and not make himself a target too early on. However, he would finally receive a treat in the game that had eluded him on his previous attempt in the game, that being the tribal immunity that the Scorpions Tribe won. This would keep Casey safe from tribal council for the first time in his experience within the game, giving him more time to secure his bonds and keep himself safe. On his way out, he would make a comment to fellow player, Dacota, who was now his ex-girlfriend, that would upset her and would cause her to throw a comment right back at him, foreshadowing a part of his future in the game.

After his tribe would lose the second immunity challenge, Casey and his alliance would be at a standstill between two big targets, both of whom had hidden immunity idols. Giselle and Evan had come off as major threats to Casey, and he would contribute to talks between his alliance about who they would target. They eventually agreed to split the votes as to prepare them for the off-chance that either of them would use their hidden immunity idols on themselves. However, what Casey did not know was that Bri and Devin also were planning to throw Bri's vote onto Casey, so that if they did use their hidden immunity idols, Casey would be their only casualty. This would not be a concern for Casey though, as the 3-3-1 vote at tribal council would cause a tie, and Casey would vote for Evan once again, helping to secure Evan's fate in the game.

Casey would swap to the Snakes Tribe along with Devin, Hunter, and Giselle. After his tribe lost the next immunity challenge, they were informed that they would be attending tribal council with the new Sharks Tribe. Casey and the men on his tribe would discuss the vote, mainly involving throwing their votes onto Giselle, who was trying to convince Devin to vote with her against Hunter or Casey. However, once the four found out that only one person would be voted off, regardless of their tribe affiliation, Casey and the guys would immediately strategize and would help to blindside Ryley with the use of Devin's *Extra Vote* Advantage.

Casey would then be granted safety once again, as the Snakes Tribe would win the next immunity challenge together, This would not only keep their tribe strong, but it would also keep their tribe safe until the merge.

At the merge, Casey would give his best efforts in the first individual immunity challenge of the season. However, this would not be enough to help him win, and his chances were quickly extinguished at the start of the challenge. Back at camp, Casey would help to strategize against Bailey alongside Jack and the others in his alliance. At tribal council, Casey would cast his vote against Bailey, only to see her use a hidden immunity idol that would end up sending Jack out of the game with only four votes against him.

After losing the next individual immunity challenge, Casey would become very exposed, as his campaigns against Dacota and Giselle would annoy the others, including those in his alliance, very fast. What also did not help him was that Dacota was making a stronger campaign against him. The former couple would even lie to each other's faces just to make sure their plans would go forth. However, Casey's plan to get rid of Giselle would not occur, as he would be voted out in a unanimous 8-1 vote. Casey would become the second member of the jury, and would place 9th out of 14th.

At the Final Tribal Council, Casey would hear out all of the finalists' arguments. However, he would end up choosing to give his vote to Bri, which would help her to win the game.

Casey did not attend the *Survivor: Battle Royale Reunion Episode*, but his actions and gameplay was heavily discussed, as players were confused on his multiple attempts to target Dacota, some of which were not shown. People stated that they wanted to take him out because they were annoyed by how intensely they felt he wanted to eliminate Dacota from the game.
