Leo is a contestant from *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur*, *Survivor: Gabon*, *Survivor: Cook Islands* and *Survivor: Island of the Idols*.

## Survivor: San Juan Del Sur

Leo 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. Leo then made an alliance with Skye, Aisha, Travis, Priya and Ryan to secure their safety in the game. At the tribes second loss, the alliance of six voted together in sending Richard home.

Leo was then switched to the orange Coyopa tribe with his original members Skye, Ryan 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. Leo was spared at the next tribal council Coyopa attended as Thomas had a larger target on his back.

At this point, Leo made the merge and was reunited with his original Hunahpu alliance. As his original alliance had new alliances, they were loosely banded together. However, once the first merged vote occurred, Leo was considered the bigger targets of the tribe and was voted out, becoming a member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for his original alliance member Aisha to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Gabon

Leo began *Survivor: Gabon* originally on the yellow Kota tribe. He formed a strong alliance of four with Domenic, Erinn and Priya but were quickly placed in the minority when a coalition containing Aisha, Thomas, Tison, Travis and Vanessa was formed. Kota was lucky enough to win the first four immunity challenges in a row. At the tribe switch, Leo remained on Kota along with Aisha, Domenic, Erinn and Thomas whilst being joined by Ryan and Skye from Fang. Leo had a strong relationship with Skye from his previous appearance, and the pair remained a tight unit. Leo included Skye into his original alliance with Domenic and Erinn, where it was agreed to vote out Aisha who just won SJDS. At their first loss on Day 18, Aisha was eliminated.

After another immunity challenge win, a second tribe switch occurred. Leo remained on Kota once again, with the new tribe including Priya, Ryan, Skye and Vanessa. Despite his connection to Priya on the original Kota tribe, Leo decided his partnership with Skye was better for his game and they included Ryan for the majority. At their first tribal council, Leo and his alliance eliminated Priya. Their next target was Vanessa, but Leo was blindsided when Ryan and Skye turned on him at Kota's next immunity loss. At the Final Tribal Council, Leo voted for his ally Skye to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Cook Islands

Leo returned in *Survivor: Cook Islands* on the blue Rarotonga tribe. They were the only tribe to not go to Tribal Council during the first 11 days. On Day 12, the tribes were dissolved into 2. Leo went to the red Aitutaki tribe, with fellow members, Katniss and Kayla. They were lucky by holding three immunity wins and being in the majority alliance.

When mutiny was offered, Alexis and Liamm from the original Raro tribe joined Aitu. This meant that the power alliance of 5 was back together. Aitu lost the remaining two immunity challenges they had together, where the Rarotonga Five held the majority and sent home their rivals from the minority Johanna and Charlie.

When merge occurred, the castaways were split in alliance, with the Raro five in one position and the remaining five trying to gain power. Liamm was voted out after a 5-5 tie, meaning Raro was in danger. Luckily, allegiance was tested and Carter and Brooklyn were deemed too untrustworthy. A flip in the alliance meant that Katniss was voted out, leaving Leo and Kayla at the bottom. The majority alliance then targeted a stronger threat and Leo was voted out, making him a member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, he along with the Raro alliance voted for Jack to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Island of the Idols

Leo then returned for *Survivor: Island of the Idols* originally on the purple Vokai tribe. As players who competed on the earliest seasons, he formed a tight trio with Bethany and Penny before bringing in New School player Ellis. After two immunity challenges wins, Vokai lost on Day 9 where the Old Schoolers eliminated Kameron at tribal council due to his untrustworthy reputation. After their second loss, Leo voted with the Old Schoolers and Henry to eliminate villainess, Flick. At the tribe switch, he was switched to the orange Lairo tribe along with original tribe members Henry, Ika and William. With previous relationships evident on this tribe, an alliance was formed between Ika, Jose, Sasha and William which forced Leo and the remaining singles to align. Despite the 4-4 divide on Lairo, the tribe was extremely strong and won all four immunity challenges they had together.

Leo was overjoyed when the tribes merged on Day 23, as he reunited with the Old Schoolers whilst bringing in Luke and Natalie so they could have the majority. This only extended when Emma played her vote blocker on Sasha, leading to Henry and Jose's eliminations at the first two merged tribal councils. The Old School girls were concerned that Leo was becoming closer to his Lairo allies and told him they had to get rid of Luke as a sign of his loyalty. After weighing up his options, Leo agreed to appease his closest allies and Luke was blindsided. After winning the immunity challenge on Day 30, Leo selected himself to visit the Island of the Idols and was joined by his fellow *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur* cast mate Domenic. However, the pair were unsuccessful in finding an advantage. Upon his return to camp, Leo was told that his allies would be going after his other ally Natalie. This resulted in a 3-3-3 tie at tribal between Bethany, Ika and Natalie where no one switched their vote at the revote. Whilst Leo was immune from the challenge, the remaining castaways drew rocks and Old Schooler Jaclyn was eliminated.

Following Emma's elimination, Bethany, Leo and Penny were hoping that Natalie would remain loyal to them, but she was considering working with Ika, Sasha and William. Ika spoke with the Old Schoolers and was concerned that Natalie was in control of the tribe and suggested they vote for her. Seeing this as an opportunity to have the majority, Leo voted with Ika and the Old Schoolers to blindside Natalie. William was then hurt by Ika's move and convinced the Old Schoolers to blindside her or risk a deadlocked vote between Ika and Penny. At the Final Five, Bethany, Leo and Penny considered William the heavier strategist than Sasha and were planning on voting him out. However, the men approached Leo and told him that he was at the bottom of his trio and would be voted out if the girls had the opportunity to. After losing his Lairo allies and appeasing the women all season, Leo made his own move by blindsiding Penny with them. The men then made a Final Three pact, but this was thwarted when Bethany won the final individual immunity challenge. As the Old Schoolers previously discussed, William was seen as a greater strategist and Leo voted with the majority to vote him out.

At the Final Tribal Council, Luke and Natalie were disappointed in Leo because they thought he was more tightly aligned to them following their time on Lairo. They argued that his chances of winning would've been greater had he taken them to the end, as his game was not as impressive as neither Bethany nor Sasha in comparison. Leo became the Second Runner-Up of *Island of the Idols* after earning zero of ten jury votes, but became a member of the jury when the jury was tied 5-5 between Bethany and Sasha. In the end, Leo voted for Bethany to win the title of Sole Survivor because he wanted an Old Schooler to win and because he was more impressed by her control over the game.
