Michael "Croc" Crocker is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Blood v Water.
Beginning the game as one of the "alpha males" on the Blood tribe, Croc encountered early setbacks when his ally Sophie Cachia was blindsided. However, he was able to survive to the tribe switch, where he united with his loved one Chrissy Zaremba and found a Hidden Immunity Idol. Although he found himself in a comfortable position on the new Water tribe, it was his attempt to save his ally Ben Watson by blindsiding Jesse Hansen that backfired and led to his blindside with an idol in his pocket.

Croc, 41, Ex-NRL Player, Queensland
While Chrissy may not have a lot of Survivor knowledge, she is playing with Croc to keep his dream of being part of the game alive.
Croc's strengths in the game will be his observation skills, as well as his brute physical strength. He will build genuine relationships and ascertain what makes people tick, how they behave and then make big moves when the time is right to eliminate his biggest threats.
What is your biggest fear on Survivor?
Fear of failure – not living up to my own expectations physically and strategically.
What's one thing people won't expect from you?
How down to earth, patient and caring I am. Just a big teddy bear at heart.[2]

Croc started the game at the Blood tribe, where his sister-in-law Chrissy Zaremba was assigned to Water. Early on in the game, Corc alligned himself with the perceived alpha males of the tribe, which consisted of Ben Watson and Jordan Schmidt. The three agreed to work with Sophie Cachia moving forward, and decided to target David Goodchild after Blood lost the Immunity Challenge on Day 9. Sandra Diaz-Twine, however, managed to convince the rest of the tribe to vote out Sophie, blindsiding Croc's alliance. On Day 14, after Blood lost Immunity Challenge, Croc, alongside Ben and Jordan, joined the majority vote to blindside Jay Bruno.
On Day 15, the two tribes swapped. Croc joined to the Water tribe alongside Chrissy, wher Sophie was also assigned to after being voted out from her tribe on Day 9. After winning the Reward Challenge, Chrissy fouhnd a Hidden Immunity Idol clue, which she shared with Croc. The two quickly found the idol and decided to keep it to themselves. On Day 18, Croc agreed to the plan of voting his former ally, Sophie.
On Day 23, after Water lost the Immunity Challenge, Croc approached Ben to blindside Jesse Hansen. Ben, however, was certain that Croc tried to turn on him day before where Blood kidnapped KJ Austin, thus revealed the plan to Jesse and Sam Gash. At Tribal Council, Croc was blindsided in a vote of 4–2–1, with the idol in his pocket.
