Christian is a contestant from *Survivor: David vs. Goliath* and *Island of Secrets*.

## Survivor: David vs. Goliath

Christian began *Survivor: David vs. Goliath* originally on the orange David tribe. He formed a strong partnership with Gabby that led to a Final Two deal whilst establishing a majority of seven with Andrew, Anthony, Brandi, Deanna and DJ. The tribe united with the revelation that India is transgender, though some tension occurred when Amanda and Andrew misgendered her. At their first immunity loss, Christian aligned with the majority in eliminating India for her physical weakness. Though Andrew and Brandi tried to flip on the majority, Christian remained tight with her alliance to eliminate Amanda and Wayne.

At the Tribe Expansion on Day 12, Christian was switched to the green Tiva tribe along with Gabby and was joined by Hardeep, Kennedy, Kevin and Lexi from the Goliaths. Despite being in the minority, Christian told Gabby that he found the tribes Hidden Immunity Idol and brought in Lexi after she felt burned by her original tribe mates. At Tiva's first loss, the votes were tied between Kennedy and Lexi. Christian was able to persuade Hardeep to turn on his allies, and Kennedy was eliminated at the revote. After their second consecutive loss, Christian and Gabby believed that Lexi was a huge wildcard to bring into the merge and the tribe unanimously voted her out.

Despite the bonds made during the switch, the Final 13 at the merge split along original tribal lines. Christian's alliance of Davids was given the majority when Kameron flipped on the Goliaths to eliminate Bethan. However, this did not last for long because Christian and Gabby joined forces with the Goliath Alliance of Angelina, Brandi, Ross and Tracey. Though the six voted for Anthony, both he and Christian played their idols which led to a null vote. At the revote, Christian and Gabby were able to convince Hardeep that he could trust them and he flipped to eliminate Kevin. This move put Anthony, Deanna and DJ in the minority, where Christian and Gabby controlled the vote. Though the majority were willing to blindside Hardeep, Christian and Gabby wanted to keep him around because they established trust from the switch. Instead, the pair was able to convince Brandi, Hardeep and Kameron to blindside Tracey.

At the Final Ten, there was an even split between the two alliances. Christian's alliance targeted Anthony, but DJ used his vote steal to block Brandi's vote. With the scales tipping to the other alliance, Brandi was voted out when the extra vote was used against her. The smaller factions of groups within the tribe were becoming increasingly prominent, with a large target painted on Anthony, Deanna, DJ and Kameron. Christian voted with Brandi, Gabby and Hardeep as well as Angelina and Ross who were attracted to the idea of making big moves to eliminate Kameron. Christian was concerned when he heard that Gabby was coming after him, and they attempted to eliminate Deanna. However, Gabby's erratic gameplay was her downfall and she was voted out by their rivals. With Gabby now out of the picture, Christian relied more heavily on Angelina, Hardeep and Ross. They were in the majority and held the power, leading to the consecutive eliminations of Deanna and Anthony.

With only five castaways remaining, Christian felt confident he would be safe again because there was a low likelihood of DJ winning immunity. The alliance of four agreed to vote for him at tribal when he didn't win. However, Hardeep wanted to play his idol as part of a flashy move for his resume. Hardeep played his idol for DJ and Christian was voted out with the next highest number of votes. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for Ross to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Island of Secrets

For living in Florida at the time of filming, Christian then returned for *Survivor: Island of Secrets* originally on the orange Manumalo tribe containing castaways from the southern region of the United States. He was quickly seen as a huge threat on a tribe of new players, but managed to form a majority alliance of four with Cynthia, Davis and Shannon on the tribe of six. After losing the first immunity challenge, Christian's alliance had the numbers to eliminate Wes who was trying to campaign against Christian. At their second loss on Day 8, Christian voted with the majority to blindside Cynthia because they felt she was lying to them after visiting the Island of Secrets. On Day 12, Christian was chosen by Manumalo to visit the Island of Secrets himself but was unsuccessful to obtain an advantage against Heather.

At the tribe dissolve, Christian was chosen by Danni to join the purple Ta'alo tribe. His fellow *David vs. Goliath* cast mate Anthony was also Ta'alo, and both men decided to go after each other again. Christian and Davis managed to bring in Heather and Sneha from the original Sa'ula tribe as well as Danni and Doug from the original Ta'alo tribe. At their first loss on Day 18, Christian voted with this group for Anthony but was shocked when Danni and Doug flipped on them in order to eliminate Davis. Christian then visited the Island of Secrets again on Day 20, but unfortunately didn't win an advantage against fellow veteran J'Tia. Ta'alo was then told that they would be voting two people out as part of a Double Elimination when they lost the immunity challenge on Day 20. Christian's large group voted out Anthony's ally Leyla at the first vote, but Heather and Sneha turned on Christian and he was voted out at the second tribal council of the night.
