Ryan was the winner of season one of The Butler Games.

## Season One (Spring 2017)

Despite losing the first tribal challenge, Ryan was able to use this to his advantage and eliminated one of his targets in the very first elimination - blindsiding Dan and sending him out of the game. Ryan was then able to use his allies to shield him from the block, with girlfriend Olivia winning Head of House twice in a row.

However in the fifth round, Dan returned to the game following a Battle Back competition, and began to take his revenge. Ryan won his first challenge in the 'Plinko Pinball' veto com - and subsequently took off his shirt in victory. After using the Veto on himself, he was gifted with the Extra Vote advantage by Olivia and used this to eliminate Lindsey from the game. He is the first player to ever successfully use an advantage in the game.

Ryan was spared from the double elimination in the following round when Olivia and Mandy were the only players eligible to cast votes - making him the only survivor of this double elimination. He was forced to turn on his alliance in the seventh round and purged the two girls out of the competition in the semi-final Battleflip competition. He won and faced the final vote alongside his enemy in the game: Dan.

In the final vote, Ryan received votes from Olivia, Mandy, Barnie, Ste and Lindsey to win and was crowned the winner of The Butler Games.

## The Butler Games: Second Chance Summer (Season Two)

Ryan's time in season two was short lived, having entered the game with a huge target on his back as the previous season's winner. He was betrayed by his tribemates and fellow veteran players in the second round of the game and finished in 9th place.

in the final vote, he voted unsuccessfully for Barnie to be crowned the winner.

## The Butler Games: Ride or Die (Season Three)

At the start of the game, Ryan was reluctantly partnered with fellow former winner, Lindsey. As a result of this partnership he was brought into a 6 person alliance which included himself and Lindsey along with fellow veteran's Barnie and Lisa, and new players Richard and Rachel.

Ryan was chosen to compete on the red tribe, with his Ride or Die playing for the blue tribe. In the Battleflip challenge, Ryan had to stand and watch the other tribe take the win as Team Captain Katie failed to finish her drink. In the vote, Ryan voted along with his alliance to eliminate Katie from the game, but she remained due to a pre-determined non-elimination round.

In the second round, Ryan was targeted during the 'Give-Wrapped' nomination challenge by Natalie and Becca, who had been tipped off to look out for previous winners. Ryan received a nomination card, nominating him for elimination alongside Becca and fellow alliance members Richard and Barnie. As the only nominee not in the Power 6 Alliance, the alliance all agreed to eliminate Becca from the game, kicking her out with 7 out of 11 votes to eliminate.

In the third round, the power remained with Ryan's alliance when Barnie won Head of House, nominating Katie and Josh for elimination. At the first double cross ceremony, Ryan pulled the double cross and nominated Tom for elimination. This meant that all players who were not in the Power 6 Alliance were up for elimination, with Natalie automatically being nominated for elimination due to her Ride or Die punishment. In the 'Ice Breaker' Power of Veto challenge, Ryan was quick to bite his key free from the ice, but was unable to find the corresponding padlock and lost the challenge to Tom.

As Ryan was the doublecrosser, he had to choose a replacement nominee for Tom, and was forced to nominate from within the alliance - putting Rachel up for elimination. In the vote, the Power 6 Alliance remained together and voted Kate out of the game for a second time.

In the fourth round, Ryan won the 'Twerk It Gurl' head of house competition in a last stand against Natalie, and then nominated her for elimination against alliance member, Rachel - a move which confused his other alliance members, due to non alliance members Tom and Katie being eligible for nomination.This then meant that they were eligible to participate in the double cross ceremony, where Tom was able to nominate Lisa for elimination.

In 'The Last Knight' veto competition, Ryan won the Golden Power of Veto, allowing him to have complete control over the round. He chose not to use the Power of Veto and kept alliance member's Rachel and Lisa on the block. It was then that Ryan joined with newcomer Richard and set up a plan to eliminate Lisa from the game. Telling Lisa, Lindsey and Rachel that the alliance was going to eliminate Natalie, Ryan approached Barnie and Tom to ensure he would have the votes to pull off a blindside. Barnie initially tried to convince him otherwise, but agreed to go along with the plan. With 6 out of 9 votes, Lisa was eliminated from the game.

In the fifth round, Jurors returned to compete in the 'Know it All: Play or Pass' Head of House / Battleback competition. With the Power 6 Alliance now divided, Ryan had to target juror Lisa to ensure she did not return, eliminating her from the game and allowing Josh to return instead. As the Power 6 Alliance took shots at each other, this left the win open for Tom, who won on a tiebreaker against Katie.

Ryan managed to avoid nominations this round, with alliance members Barnie and Lindsey being nominated by Tom, and Josh and Katie being nominated by the double crosser, Rich, and the Jury doublecrosser, Becca. With Barnie saving himself in the veto - Rachel was once again nominated as the replacement nominee. In the vote, Ryan and what remained of his alliance planned to vote for Katie, having learnt from Tom and Natalie that they were using the idol to save Josh, and this time successfully voted her out of the game. With both Lindsey and Rachel receiving 2 votes each, and re-vote resulting in a tie, the game went to deadlock. Ryan campaigned to save his Ride or Die, Lindsey, and eliminate Rachel. But after an impromptu Lip Sync Battle, Lindsey was eliminated from the game.

For failing to protect his Ride or Die, Ryan was presented 'The Lone Wolf' punishment, and had to spent the remainder of the game in a wolf onesie, serving drinks to the fellow players and jurors. However, Lindsey returned to the game following Natalie's withdrawal. Despite this, his punishment remained and he was no longer Ride or Die with Lindsey.

In the sixth round, the power returned to the alliance with Richard winning Head of House in the 'Colour Code' challenge. He nominated Lindsey and Josh for elimination, with Barnie nominated at the double cross ceremony by Tom.

In the Scrabble Scramble competition, Ryan ran for Richard but they failed to spell a word longer than 6 letters, allowing Lindsey to veto her nomination. Richard chose Ryan as the replacement nominee, forcing him to begin campaigning against his biggest ally in the game - Barnie. With Richard campaigning against his own Ride or Die, and Lisa campaigning from the jury, Ryan secured the votes to eliminate Barnie from the game.

Despite campaigning against each other, Barnie helped Ryan in the Fallen Friends Head of House challenge - competing on behalf of Rich due to his Ride or Die Punishment. Ryan, however, was eliminated from this challenge third, allowing Tom his second Head of House of the season.

Ryan went on to win one of the toughest challenges of the season - The Mastermind-Map veto competition - securing his place in the semi-final. He chose to keep the nominations the same, and voted with the majority to eliminate Richard from the game.

In the first semi-final challenge, Dice, Dice, Baby, Ryan chose season one ally and girlfriend, Olivia - who had stepped in to cover the missing jurors - to assist him in the trail. Both Ryan and Lindsey ended the challenge balancing 6 dice, but Lindsey was able to keep the dice balanced for longer, beating Ryan to the final.

In the second semi-final challenge, Battledice, Ryan went head to head against Rachel and Tom. Unable to choose the same juror twice, he chose Barnie to assist him in this challenge. Ryan began the challenge with a clear lead, but a quick flip by Rachel put her a few seconds ahead. Ryan struggled to flip his final cup, and Rachel, just seconds ahead, was able to assemble the pattern first and win the second space in the final vote.

Ryan was eliminated by competition.

In the final vote, Ryan voted for Lindsey to be crowned the winner of The Butler Games: Ride or Die.

## The Butler Games: Allstars

At the start of season five, Ryan was chosen to become a team captain due to his season one win, alongside season two winner, Lindsey. Ryan's team was made up of himself. Olivia, Barnie, Lisa and Dan. He helped bring his team to victory in the Battleflip Relay challenge and was the first player to suggest Dan became the Head of House after his performance in the tribal challenge.

When the first legacy was unleashed, Ryan was forced to compete in the Give-Wrapped nomination challenge and managed to avoid all nomination cards, but was given the 'Vote Loss' punishment. Ally Barnie won the Veto ticket, but was also punished and forced to be tied to Tom for the first round. Knowing this would impend his performance, Barnie gave the veto ticket to Ryan.

In the Tic Tac Throw, veto challenge, Ryan was randomly chosen to go against his fellow team captain, Lindsey, who had been nominated for elimination. He beat Lindsey before being knocked out off the challenge by Iain.

Ryan was unable to vote this round due to his punishment, but has stated that he would have voted to eliminate newbie Rachel from the game, which would have caused a tied vote between her and Iain. As he was unable to vote, Iain was eliminated from the game.

In the second round, Ryan's team failed to win the Scrabble Scramble challenge and Ryan was nominated alongside Dan by Head of House Olly. As part of the Legacy Twist, Ryan unsuccessfully competed in a second Head of House challenge, Plinko Pinball. Rachel was crowned the co-HoH and allies Olivia and Barnie joined Ryan on the nomination block.

Ryan competed in The Last Knight Veto challenge but failed to win the veto, losing out to teammate Dan. Lisa was chosen as the replacement nominee and Ryan and his allies began to hatch a plan to save them all from elimination. The game appeared to be split between voting out Olivia or Lisa. Barnie had previously promised Lisa that he would not vote her out of the game this season, but Ryan and Dan applied pressure to ensure he stuck with his alliance. In the vote Ryan successfully voted Lisa out of the game.

In the third round, Ryan won the Know It All head of house challenge after being the only player to correctly answer the fourth question. He nominated the two new players for elimination, Rachel and Olly.

Ryan chose to unlock his own legacy - The Power Round - which gave him the power to choose which players he wanted to compete in the Power of Veto. He was not sure what the challenge was, but chose those he was closest in the game with - Barnie, Olivia and Dan. In the Go Nuts! veto challenge, Dan won and agreed with Ryan to keep the nominations the same.

In the vote, Ryan voted with the rest of the players to eliminate Rachel from the game.

In the fourth round, Ryan competed in one of the hardest Head of House challenges this season, Baller Move. He was unsuccessful and was the fifth player eliminated from the challenge. Head of House, Barnie, unleashed his own legacy resulting in a nomination challenge taking place and in the Face the Ace challenge, Ryan was the first eliminated. Luckily Dan won the challenge and nominated Lindsey alongside Barnie's nominee's Olly and Tom.

In the Power of Veto challenge, To The Nines, players ended the game with a four-way-tie between Ryan, Barnie, Olly and Tom. In a tiebreaker question, Barnie had the closest answer without going over and won the Golden Power of Veto, choosing not to remove any of the nominations.

Ryan saw this as the right opportunity to eliminate the newbie and ever-growing threat, Olly, from the game. However, Barnie convinced them that Tom and Lindsey were the bigger threats and convinced Ryan and Dan to vote to eliminate Tom from the game, in order to sever Tom's alliance with Olivia and ensure she would not betray them for him. They considered eliminating Lindsey instead, but felt it was better to eliminate Lindsey after the Battleback, given her strong track record of battling back into the game.

In the vote, Ryan was shocked when Lindsey was eliminated, unknowing that she had actually voted herself out of the game.

At the start of round five, all jurors were brought back into the game to compete alongside the players in the Dice, Dice, Baby Head of House / Battleback challenge. Lindsey returned to the game as the new Head of House and she took a shot at Barnie and Dan.

Ryan was the only player who was not chosen to compete in the Mathletics veto challenge. But when Dan won the veto and took himself off, Lindsey was forced to make a random draw to decide which player would be taking his place on the block. This was because Lindsey had chosen to unlock Lisa's legacy.

Ryan was chosen as the replacement nominee and knew that Barnie had an immunity idol to save himself resulting in his elimination regardless of votes.

With only one vote cast against him, Ryan was the fifth player eliminated from The Butler Games: Allstars.

Ryan returned to the game once following his elimination. This was during the Hide and Go Veto challenge, where he found the first envelope and knocked Olly out of the game.

Ryan was also one of the answers during the Fallen Friends veto challenge, with the clue '*Dice stacked on a stick and a veto which favoured those good at addition, it only took 1 vote to end this champ's ambition…'* referring to his elimination in round five.

In the final vote, Ryan voted for Tom to be crowned the winner of The Butler Games: Allstars.
