Hardeep is a contestant from *Survivor: David vs. Goliath*.

## Survivor: David vs. Goliath

Hardeep began *Survivor: David vs. Goliath* originally on the purple Goliath tribe, and quickly found himself in a strong alliance of three with Kennedy and Kevin. This later extended into a majority of seven with Angelina, Kameron, Ross and Tracey. This left models Bethan, Billie and Lexi on the outs of the tribe for being considered the physically weakest. At the tribes first loss on Day 6, it was agreed the seven would split the votes between Bethan and Billie with Bethan going home. Hardeep voted for Billie, and she was eliminated when Kameron flipped to save Bethan. Despite the tensions within the tribe, the Goliaths won the remaining two challenges they had together. During this time, Hardeep found the Goliath Hidden Immunity Idol and decided to keep it as a secret weapon in the future.

At the Tribe Expansion on Day 12, Hardeep was placed on the new green Tiva tribe with Kennedy, Kevin and Lexi as well as Christian and Gabby from the David's. Despite the Goliath majority on Tiva, the boys were worried because they isolated Lexi on their original tribe. After winning immunity, Tiva lost on Day 15. Kennedy, Kevin and Hardeep tried to convince Christian and Gabby to vote for Lexi, but this didn't happen because Lexi flipped. This created a tie between Lexi and Kennedy, where Hardeep flipped to eliminate Kennedy at the revote. At their next loss, Hardeep voted with the tribe to unanimously eliminate Lexi.

On Day 18, the three tribes merged and Hardeep flipped on his Tiva group to align with his Goliath Alliance of seven, now six, from the Goliath tribe. It was agreed the alliance would vote for DJ but Bethan was voted out instead when the David's convinced Kameron to flip. These tribal lines were only temporary, because Anthony, Deanna, DJ and Kameron split from the David Alliance. They approached both Kevin and Hardeep to break open the game and vote for Christian. At tribal council, both Christian and Anthony played their idols leading to no votes counting at tribal council. This meant that a revote occurred, where the David Alliance (including Hardeep) targeted Kevin and he was voted out. Hardeep was further assured of his decision to put all his eggs in the David's basket because he was told that the Goliaths were planning on targeting him. At the vote, Hardeep voted with Brandi, Christian, Gabby and Kameron to blindside Tracey.

Again, there was a 5-5 divide between the two majority alliances. DJ revealed his vote steal to Hardeep and told him that his alliance would definitely not have the numbers. Hardeep flipped to eliminate Brandi in an attempt to protect himself, and his more trusted allies in Christian and Gabby. This was only temporary however and Hardeep's alliance blindsided Kameron. Gabby revealed to some of the tribe that she was willing to cut Christian at tribal, but this scared her allies because it exposed her untrustworthiness. Hardeep's alliance consequently turned on Gabby, before they banded together to pick off the trio in Deanna and Anthony. At the Final Five, the majority alliance agreed that DJ would be their final victim before they turned on each other. However, Hardeep wanted to play his idol as a flashy move for his resume and to ensure he would be remembered as a strategist in front of the imminent jury. With 3 votes against DJ not counting, Christian was voted out. After DJ won individual immunity however, Hardeep was voted out because Angelina and Ross lost faith in him and felt they couldn't win against him. At the Final Tribal Council, Hardeep voted for DJ to win the title of Sole Survivor.
