Ryan is a contestant from *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur*, *Survivor: Gabon,* *Survivor: Nicaragua*, *Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains* and *Survivor: Fiji*.

## Survivor: San Juan Del Sur

Ryan began *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur* on the blue Hunahpu tribe. At their first loss, David was voted out unanimously for his poor work ethic, poor challenge ability and poor social skills. Ryan then made an alliance with Skye, Aisha, Leo, Priya and Travis to secure their safety in the game. At the tribes second loss, the alliance of six voted together in sending Richard home.

Ryan was then switched to the orange Coyopa tribe with his original members Skye, Leo and Priya. The power couple formed by Leo and Skye was seen as threatening by the rest of the tribe and Skye was voted out when the tribe lost immunity. The next person to be voted out when Coyopa lost was Thomas for being a large threat.

At this point, Ryan made the merge. The post-switch Hunahpu tribe stuck together and voted out Leo, Katrina and Marina. However, Travis was too much of a physical threat to their alliance and he was later blindsided. The post-switch Coyopa members were still at the bottom of the tribe and with nowhere to turn, Ryan became the next voted out. At the Final Tribal Council, Ryan voted for Aisha to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Gabon

Ryan competed again in *Survivor: Gabon* originally on the red Fang tribe. He kept his tight alliance with Skye following their appearance on SJDS, and brought along newbies Cat and Lawson as well as Cody and Montana to form the majority. At their first loss, the alliance wanted to eliminate Montana after she flipped from their group but they were now in the minority and Cat was voted out. Their next target was Lina, but the majority held the power and blindsided Cody for wanting to flip on his allies. Ryan's alliance was down to himself, Lawson and Skye. They knew they were in the minority, but a miscommunication within the majority alliance meant Ryan's allies held the power to eliminate Montana. Skye flipped on Ryan, but reassured him that she was only going to vote with the majority to get rid of Lawson.

At the tribe switch, Ryan was switched to the yellow Kota tribe along with Skye. Feeling powerless against the overwhelming majority of original Kota members, Ryan was able to slip within the cracks and tried to vote for Domenic but Aisha was eliminated. After Kota won immunity, a second tribe switch occurred. Ryan remained on Kota with Skye whilst being joined by Leo, Priya and Vanessa. His relationship with Leo and Skye continued, where they retained the majority over the tribe. Their first target was Priya before Ryan and Skye agreed to cut Leo before the merge.

The merge occurred at the Final Eight. Ryan joined the coalition of five against Domenic that was formed by Vanessa, where they were able to eliminate him at tribal council. This was only temporary however, because Vanessa and Thomas approached the minority. Ryan was left in a minority of three with Lina and Penny, where they were systematically picked off by the majority. This began with Penny, continued with Leo and Ryan was their third target. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for Thomas to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Nicaragua

Ryan then returned for *Survivor: Nicaragua*, where he was originally placed on the blue Espada tribe. Compared to their rivals, Espada was weak and lost the first three immunity challenges they had together. At the first tribal council, the women banded together and Beau was voted out. With the women now the majority alliance of Espada, Ryan was their second victim at tribal council on Day 6.

### Voting History

## Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains

For being such a loyal and honest alliance ally, Ryan was originally placed on the Heroes tribe during *Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains*. Early in the game, Ryan formed a majority alliance, named the Alpha Male Alliance, with the men of his tribe sans Hayden. This allaince was successful in voting out Vanessa, Hayden and Summer at the tribes first three tribal councils. However, Skye, being one of his allies, was voted out as a result of a Hidden Immunity Idol. The cracks in the alliance were clear and the Gabon finalists were targeted. Erinn was voted out when the Heroes lost again, followed shortly by Thomas. For having connections with Erinn and Thomas and now in the minority, Ryan was voted out after 17 days.

## Survivor: Fiji

Ryan was placed on the green Burra tribe of *Survivor: Fiji*, comprised of former jury members. The tribe was lucky enough to never have to go to tribal council in the first 11 days as they were strong and united in the challenges. With a switch approaching and Burra yet to lose an immunity challenge, the tribe created the Burra Alliance and made a promise to look after each other to eventually meet up at the merge.

At the tribe dissolve, Ryan was switched to the yellow Pagong tribe with none of his original tribe members. This left him in an unstable position in the game and he was given a large target to begin with. Joining up with the former winners and Natalia, Ryan was able to make it further in the game. When Pagong lost three of the four immunity challenges, the alliance voted together, sending Ricardo, Vanessa, Lea and Rachel home.

At this point, Ryan made the merge. It was clear from the beginning that no-one from his original tribe wanted to work with him and no-one from his new alliance fully trusted him. Ryan voted with whoever he could, resulting in the eliminations of Darcy and Alistair. His Pagong alliance did vote together at the next tribal council and voted for Tucker. However, his play of a Hidden Immunity Idol meant that Ryan was voted out and became the second member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for alliance member Natalia to win the title of Sole Survivor.
