Survivor: Pearl Islands
Andrew Savage was the last person called out to the Morgan tribe. After reaching camp, Andrew assumed the leadership position unchallenged. Morgan lost the first Immunity Challenge. Lillian Morris informed the tribe that Nicole Delma was trying to blindside Tijuana Bradley. Andrew joined in voting out the untrustworthy Nicole over the weak Lillian. After Nicole's elimination, Andrew was in a majority alliance with Ryan Opray, Darrah Johnson, Tijuana and Osten Taylor. Morgan generally lost challenges and the Drake tribe constantly looted the Morgan camp. This became a large problem when Sandra Diaz-Twine looted the tarp and dismantled the shelter in the process. Andrew became upset when Osten announced he wanted to quit. Andrew denied Osten's wish to be eliminated at Tribal Council and voted out the perceived weakest member Ryan Shoulders. Lillian was upset that Ryan S. was voted out over Osten as she felt that Osten quit on the tribe and thus deserved to be voted out. Lillian was voted out next on Andrew's request.

At the Immunity Challenge, Morgan finally won after Drake threw the challenge. An additional stipulation included was that the Morgan tribe  won the right to kidnap one of the Drake members. They chose to kidnap Rupert Boneham. Rupert viewed the tribe's work as poor and help them improved their camp. With Rupert's help, Morgan won its first Reward Challenge for a shower, shampoo, conditioner, sponges, rain jackets, and a pot for boiling water. Andrew was selected to loot the Drake camp, where he took a bag of rice. Morgan won its third challenge in a row, much to Andrew's satisfaction. At camp, Andrew was embarrassed by Osten's behavior toward a pelican that came toward the camp. Morgan lost the next Reward Challenge and Drake sent Jon Dalton to loot the camp. Jon behaved himself at the camp. Andrew was impressed by this, and even gave him some shampoo as a diplomatic gesture. However, Jon revealed that the Drake tribe threw the challenge that got Morgan its first immunity win. Andrew was angered by the fact that Jon tried to take the satisfaction of their victory away from them. Andrew made Jon eat his words by holding 180 pounds at the Immunity Challenge, giving Morgan another victory.

The tribe numbers was even when the first six eliminated players returned for one last shot at redemption. The Outcast won the challenge, sending Drake and Morgan to Tribal Council. At Morgan's Tribal Council Osten once again said he wanted to quit. After the whole tribe verbally promised Osten that they would vote him out, a regular vote was deemed unnecessary and Osten became the first person to quit Survivor.

Lillian and Burton Roberts were selected by the Outcasts tribe to return to the game. Andrew still shunned Lillian, making her question her trust toward them. The next day, the tribes merged, and everyone headed to the Drake camp. Unable to win immunity, Andrew was targeted for being the leader of the Morgan tribe, In addition to being the biggest physical threat. Andrew and the other former Morgan tribe members tried to turn the vote against Jon (whom he called "Little Jon" to irritate him), but Lillian flipped. Andrew was blindsided in a 6-4 vote.
