## Survivor: Island of Secrets

For living in South Dakota at the time of filming, Micah was placed on the purple Ta'alo tribe at the beginning of *Survivor: Island of Secrets*. They were joined by *Kaôh Rōng* veteran J'Tia. Micah formed a close relationship with Doug and Omar as the men of the tribe and as older castaways on the cast overall. The trio agreed it was in their best interest to keep J'Tia around because of her threat level as a returning player, which only furthered when Ta'alo agreed to send J'Tia to the Island of Secrets on Days 3 and 6. When Ta'alo attended tribal council on Day 10, Omar and Micah voted for Danni whilst Danni, Doug and J'Tia eliminated Lily. Ta'alo also lost and attended a Double Tribal Council on Day 12, where Omar and Micah assumed Doug would vote with them to eliminate J'TIa. However, this was not the case as Doug decided to instead work with the women and Omar was voted out.

At the tribe dissolve, Micah became the team captain of the new green Sa'ula tribe. He was soon joined by his original Ta'alo member J'Tia. The original Laumei castaways were ostracised when a majority alliance of Sa'ula, Ta'alo and Manumalo castaways was formed. At their first loss on Day 14, Micah voted with this group to split the votes between Jodie and Rahul which led to Rahul's elimination at the revote. After Sa'ula lost their second consecutive challenge, the majority voted out Jodie but Micah tried to garner votes against Imani. He felt isolated from the majority and was hoping to turn against them at the merge.

At the Final Thirteen, Micah made the merge and was reunited with his original Ta'alo castaways Danni and Doug. At the first merged tribal council, Micah decided to remain loyal to Imani by voting for Harmony. However, Shannon was eliminated when the rest of the tribe split the votes between Imani and Shannon. Micah decided now was the time for him to make a move that would change his position in the game. He and Imani noticed they were both considered numbers and not allies, so they decided to work with the Laumei Alliance. This new alliance of five had the numbers and they blindsided Sneha. The alliance then planned on going after Heather. However, a null vote occurred when Doug, Heather and Joshua negated every vote with their idols. At the revote, Micah's alliance retained power when Harmony used her advantage to cast the sole vote in order to eliminate Declan.

With the tribe fractured after this vote, Micah's alliance tried to make peace and were pleased when a majority of the tribe agreed to vote out J'Tia. Imani and Micah considered themselves a powerful couple who wanted to keep their relationships to Laumei, Sa'ula and Ta'alo open. At the following vote, the pair decided to work against Laumei in order to get rid of Joshua. They then decided to flip back to Laumei to eliminate Elias. However, the majority alliance caught onto this constant flipping and they decided to eliminate Micah on Day 32. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for Imani to win the title of Sole Survivor.
