Survivor[]
GC was picked by Dan Kay to start the game on the Fang tribe. During the Individual Immunity Challenge which occurred at the very start of the season he ran ahead of the group, only caring about the Individual Immunity for the first person to finish from each tribe. His selfish actions paid off when Fang lost the challenge. Fang would go on to lose the first tribal Immunity Challenge. After hearing other people were planning on voting out Michelle Chase, GC joined in on the plan and helped vote Michelle out.
After Fang's second consecutive immunity loss on Day 6, GC once again joined the majority of his tribe in voting out the weakest member, Gillian Larson. After going to two consecutive Tribal Council's the Fang tribe decided they needed a tribe leader. The tribe selected GC to be the leader and although he was unsure about it, he eventually accepted the position of tribe leader. The day after being elected tribe leader, though, he quit his position. Fang won the next Immunity Challenge keeping GC safe.
After the tribe switch in episode four GC remained on the Fang tribe. He was joined by members Ace Gordon, Kelly Czarnecki, and Jacquie Berg. The original Fang tribe members made an alliance consisting of GC, Crystal Cox, Ken Hoang, Matty Whitmore, and tribe newcomer Kelly Czarnecki. The new Fang tribe lost the Immunity Challenge. GC's alliance eliminated Jacquie Berg at Tribal Council. On Day 15, GC disappeared from the Fang camp on a boat before the Immunity Challenge and only returned as the tribe was about to leave for the Immunity Challenge without him. The tribe was ready to leave without him, which didn't seem to bother GC. Fang lost the Immunity Challenge. Before Tribal Council, despite not being the initial target, GC asked to be voted out of the game. At Tribal Council his tribe granted him his wish and GC was voted out.
