## Survivor: Ghost Island

Tito began *Survivor: Ghost Island* originally on the purple Naviti tribe. Whilst building the tribes shelter, he and Frank formed a friendship over their brute strength. On Day 5, Tito found the Naviti Hidden Immunity Idol at camp and was forced to share half with another player for 24 hours in order to activate its full power. He decided to share the idol with Frank in order to strengthen their relationship. By Day 6, they decided it was in their best interest to work with Abigail and Samir. The four created an alliance, with the intention of keeping their knowledge about Ghost Island between themselves. When Naviti visited their first tribal council on Day 9, this alliance of four eliminated Narinder because she was perceived as an easy vote that would prevent targets forming on their backs.

At the Tribe Expansion on Day 10, Tito stayed on Naviti with Abigail, Jacob, Krystal and Vincent whilst being joined by Big T. Abigail and Tito saw Big T, the only OG Malolo, as the crucial swing vote against Jacob, Krystal and Vincent. The pair formed an alliance with Big T after Abigail bonded over their Ghost Island visit and Tito shared knowledge about his Hidden Immunity Idol. Big T's vote became even more important when Naviti lost their first challenge on Day 14 because Vincent was sent to Ghost Island. Abigail and Tito's relationship building ensured that Big T would vote with them at tribal council, where Krystal was voted out. On Day 16, Tito was sent to Ghost Island with Malika and Trisha but failed to obtain an advantage. Naviti then lost the challenge on Day 17, where Tito voted with Abigail and Big T to eliminate Vincent. When the tribes merged on Day 20, Abigail and Tito were reunited with Frank and Samir. The alliance grew in numbers when Samir shared he was close with Tariq whilst Abigail and Tito brought Big T to their side. The four original Naviti Alliance members decided they should vote for Luna at the first merged tribal council but Big T was voted out when she played an idol.

The Final Twelve castaways were then split into two teams as part of a Double Elimination twist. Tito was on the purple team with Frank, Isaac, Reed, Samir and Tariq. The team planned on unanimously voting for Reed, but he saved himself with a Tribal Council Pass. Frank then suggested they work with Isaac to blindside Tariq. Tito liked the idea, but felt threatened by Isaac's relationship with Frank. At tribal council, Tariq was saved with a secret idol, Tito was forced to save himself with his idol and Tito's sole vote against Isaac was the only vote that counted. The following morning, Frank told Tito he found an idol with the same activation rules as his idol. The pair decided Frank should give half to Abigail to avoid painting their friendship as an unbreakable duo. The Naviti Alliance wanted Trisha gone at the Final Ten because they felt she was the leader of the Malolo Alliance, but they lost the numbers when Tariq used his Extra Vote and worked with the original Malolo players to eliminate Joyce.

Abigail, Frank and Tito were in the search for new allies because they started to believe Samir and Tariq were unreliable. They focused on Reed, who seemed like the Malolo player with the least connections. This new group of four had the numbers over the broken Malolo Alliance, where they eliminated outsider Jacob. However, the Naviti trio then turned to Angela and Trisha for their own survival after noticing Reed was bonding with Samir and Tariq. At tribal council, Tito voted with this voting block of five to blindside Tariq. Despite their downward trajectory the last few tribal councils, Abigail, Frank and Tito managed to maintain their alliance until the Final Seven. However, with Samir an unreliable alliance member, they were left in a precarious position. Luckily for them, Frank played an idol to save himself and Angela was voted out with the only three votes that counted from the Naviti Alliance. Angela's elimination broke the foundations of the Malolo Alliance, which gave power to Abigail and the rest of the Naviti Alliance. The trio had the numbers at tribal council, and Reed was voted out.

With only five players remaining, Abigail, Frank and Tito promised each other a spot in the Final Three but were unsure whether to keep Trisha or Samir longer. They convinced Samir to vote with them to eliminate Trisha, who was considered the biggest jury threat left in the game. When Samir failed to win the final individual immunity challenge, Abigail, Frank and Tito honoured their alliance and he was made the final member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Frank and Tito were seen as the masterminds of the Naviti Alliance. They talked about their bond solidifying after Tito shared the idol with Frank on Day 5, how they feared being in the minority after losing Big T, how they quickly thought of back-up plans after Reed saved himself during the Double Elimination and how they used Abigail to keep their pair a secret when Frank found the merged idol on Day 26. Tito was praised for his strong social game, which many felt was unexpected considering his physical stature. Although some jurors felt Tito needed to make bigger moves towards the end of the season, he explained that he made subtle moves that kept himself insulated within his unbreakable Naviti Alliance. Tito was ultimately crowned Sole Survivor after earning six jury votes from Big T, Joyce, Jacob, Tariq, Trisha and Samir.
